Author's Note: Thanks guys for the reviews, so as promised, here is the next chapter! :] I promise there is going to be more going on in this chapter. The other one was just background information… or filler I guess… I've never been good at writing the firsts chapter. The action always happens in between. :]

Oh also, I decided that I'll do a weekly update, so every week you get a new chapter! :] Sounds fair right? Plus, I have to try to write most of the chapters before break are over because school will keep me away from writing this. So every Saturday you get a new chapter! Exception of this chapter because I won't be by my computer on Saturday, so you get a early post!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE~!

Recap: My gaze shifted from six feet to three faces. One of the three I had recognized. There it goes, my stomach just became sick… really sick.

I gazed at the boy that was about five inches taller than my height and had green hair and emerald orbs that gazed right back at my sapphire orbs.

He stared at me with a calm and collected face, as if he knew this was coming. I wonder if he did know what he was going to come. Though that wasn't the big problem in my head right now.

I began to choke on air, but I managed to spit out the one word that identified the figure that I knew, "D-Drew…?"

--------------»Chapter 2 : The Engagement «--------------

Drew smirked at me, "hey there May."

I snapped out of my trance and glared at him. "What are you doing here Drew?" I snapped at him. I mean after all, he was the cause of my miseries today. If he wasn't in my way or never arrived in the first place, none of this would have happened. I would have had a normal day.

"Hello there May," the woman outstretched her hand and I took it, shaking it. She looked exactly like Drew she had the same green eyes and hair.

Before I could respond, my father came up behind me and scooted me away to let our guests in. "Hello there Mr. Hayden, Mrs. Hayden, and Drew."

"Hello there Norman," Drew's father shook hands with mine and did the same with his mother.

"Oh," my mother said cheerfully, "do you want to have dinner before you we discuss our business?"

We all nodded, dinner sounded good right now. Though I think I lost my appetite when my mom forced me to sit next to Drew, though I guess I was so hungry because I ate everything that came towards me or my plate.

After dinner all the adults went in the living room, leaving me to clean up the table. Max ran up to his room and Drew… he followed me around. I didn't like the fact he was following me around. I didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention, and I felt like he did that on purpose, to make me suffer or something. Though I don't know what I did to him to make me suffer… except bump into him… was he ticked off from that?

I was washing the dishes as he leaned on my fridge, watching me. "Why do you keep looking me?" I asked him as politely as I could allow myself to. Though I found it very hard to do so.

I didn't face him, but I could feel that smirk rise up on his face and I could hear his light steps come towards me. My hands began to shake and making me drop the plates in the sink filled with soap and water a number of times.

Drew had hugged me from behind, embracing me gently as he laid his head on my shoulder. My face began to show strong visible tints of scarlet on them.

What the heck is this guy doing?! First he acts like a jerk by not even asking me if I was alright when I fell or even help me up, but now he hugs me like I were his girlfriend or something? One thought raised into my mind: This. Guy. Is. BIPOLAR.

"You should feel a little bit honored at least that I would actually look your way," he whispered smugly in my ear.

I turned around, catching him off guard, so getting out of his grip was easy, and then I slapped him across the face. He looked a bit shocked for a second, but he regained his normal emotion again. I looked at the spot where I had slapped him. I slapped him pretty hard for my hand mark was still slightly visible on his face and little suds were on his cheek.

I did feel a little bad for slapping him, but he seriously was asking for it! So it's not my fault! "Are –" I stopped myself, I was about to ask if he was okay, but I shouldn't ask.

So I put on my brave attitude and pointed my finger at his chest, "what the heck are you doing Drew?! Why did you just hug me back there and act all… I don't know, seductively?"

"But you thought it was pretty… I don't know, sexy right?" He smirked towards me while saying it, mimicking my hesitation.

That son of a blow-horn! He is so self centered! He has such a big ego! I wonder if all his fan girls know this side about him… probably do… whatever.

"Sexy?!" I retorted in disgust, "Drew, please do me a favor and take that pole out of your ass and hit earth again!" I glared at him, but Drew simply smirked. Jerk.

Before I could say another word my mother called Drew and me to the living room. "You were spared," I snorted out before wiping my hands on the towel.

"Wish I wasn't," he said as he walked closely by me, "it was just getting interesting."

"Humph!" I crossed my arms across my chest and we entered the living room.

"May," my dad called out to me, "why don't you sit down." He patted a spot on the couch in between him and my mother. I knew something was up, so I reluctantly sat down, trying to rack my brain on what they might say.

"May dear," Mrs. Hayden began, "what your parents will say may shock you, but please try to understand them." She shot me a reassuring smile that I politely returned.

"So," I said while facing my parents, "what is it that you're going to tell me that may shock me?" I could feel my palms starting to sweat, that was a bad sign, and something bad was going to happen to me again… something really bad.

My mother sighed, "I can't tell her Norman, please, can you do it?"

He nodded and grabbed my shoulders making me face him, "May, we… we made an arrangement for…"

"For what?" My voice cracked up and whatever he was going to say will break me up into pieces. I could feel it.

He sighed deeply, "for… for your marriage." He said it pretty fast.

I hoped my ears just deceived me. Please let it be the ears! "w-what?"

"May," my mother began, "you're getting married soon…"

"No…" I didn't want to get married yet! Especially an arranged marriage?! That is really outdated, nobody does those things anymore! I haven't even fallen in love yet and they're telling me I'm getting married?! Though one question had burdened my thoughts, and I bet anyone in my situation would ask this question too. "With who?" My voice trembled, afraid of hearing the answer.

"With me," Drew was silent this whole time that I was startled when he spoke. He sauntered towards me and handed me a red rose and he picked up my left hand, slipping a gold ring on my left ring finger. Drew stared at the floor and mumbled, "marry me May Melanie Maple?" By the tone of his voice, I could tell he wasn't in vote for this either.

I just stared at everyone and the ring, glancing from one to the other. This is all a joke… I thought to myself that this was all a joke. A sick, sick joke. Slowly, I began to laugh hysterically. Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy, but with this news, might as well be considered crazy.

"Nice joke you guys! You honestly got me there for a second!"I laughed out.

"May…" my mother said worriedly as she hesitantly reached out a hand towards me.

I recoiled back avoiding her touch and continued my laughing, by then I knew that all of this was real, but I still tried to convince myself and everyone that this couldn't be possible. "You guys are punking me right? There are cameras around here right?! Where are they? I obviously figured everything out already!"

Everyone looked down at their own feet, trying to give me some space to accept the fact that I am getting married to Drew. But I still kept trying. "You guys," I pointed to my parents, "you guys are so funny! I mean you get Drew and his family to come over here and expect me to believe that I was actually getting married?!"

My mother was crying with her hand over her mouth to muffle her voice, "May…"

"T-This is all a joke right? Right?" Tears spilled out of my eyes and my voice cracked as I made my way onto the floor sobbing.

"May…" Drew stepped closer to me, but I glared daggers at him.

"GET AWAY FROM ME DREW! I HATE YOU!" With that I ran towards Drew and slapped him across the face. Before anyone could respond I ran to my room and slammed the door behind me. I leaned on it with my knees close to my chest and crying into them. Through my sobs, I could still hear their conversation downstairs.

"I'm sorry about my daughter Mr. Hayden, I thought she would be stronger than that…" The voice was deep, so I guessed that it was my fathers.

"It's okay Norman," the voice was feminine, so it must have been Mrs. Hayden, "I don't blame her for acting the way she did. I probably might have acted the same way."

"Yes, well, Norman," Mr. Hayden said, "we'll give her a week to make her decision, so until then…"

"Yes," my mother said, "we'll see you in a week. Goodbye." I heard the door downstairs shut and I ran to the window and watched the Hayden family leave.

"Maybe we should go talk to May now Norman…" My mother began as she walked up the stairs with my father.

"Yeah, just to explain our situation to her."

Hearing those words I took off my shoes and jumped underneath the covers, making my body turn into a tight ball. I didn't want to hear what they had to say to me. This was unfair… so unfair. Especially marrying Drew… who I think is bipolar and facing the fact that I don't even know anything about him.

The door to my room opened, "May honey," my mom said as she sat on the empty spot on the bed, "Let's talk about this please."

"I don't want to talk to anybody right now!" I yelled out in rage, "especially to you or daddy! I hate you!"

I heard my mother gasped slightly. That was the first time I have ever said that I had hated them, and I bet that had hurt her so much. My mom is very sensitive and I believe that I just shattered her.

Feeling guilty, I rose from the covers and hugged her, "I'm sorry… it's just so unfair mom… so unfair to me…" I cried on her shoulder.

"May enough crying." My father stated as he got up from the seat he took by my desk.

I just got so ticked so easily that night, "I'm not listening to you anymore! I can cry all I want!" I yelled at him. I stood from my bed and backed up far away from them. "Why… Why would you do this to me?! What happened to 'finish school before getting married May.' Or 'don't have sex with the kid that sits next to you in math May.' Why…?"

"May…" my mother reached out to me again, but I backed away from her. "Don't touch me until I get some answers! And I want them now!" I demanded angrily. Normally I'm don't act like a brat, but I had every right to act like this.

"Okay May," my father started, "if you want some answers, then I'll need some questions."

I nodded, "why do I have to marry Drew Hayden?"

"It's a long story May, but to cut it short, we owe Drew's parents some money, but we don't have any right now…"

"So you're going to use me as a replacement?!" I shrieked in horror. I couldn't believe my ears that they would actually use me as a replacement for money.

"May," my mother began, "it's either we find the money that we don't have, go to jail, or you get married to Drew. And we can't leave you and Max, you both still need us. Though May, I promise, we're trying so hard to get some money. We didn't want this to happen…"

I looked down at my feet. She was right, with the options that we had, marrying Drew was the only thing that I could do to avoid my parents from being arrested.

"May, please try to understand our situation. This is the last thing that I wanted to do, but we have no other choice." My father said as he came up to me and laid a hand on my shoulder.

I hugged him tightly and nodded, "okay, I'll marry Drew… but only for you guys because of Max and me… and I don't want you two to get arrested."

My mother joined the hug and sobbed quietly, "thank you May. We promise that we'll try to find the money before the wedding."

I broke away from the hug, "when is the wedding suppose to be? I mean I can't get married yet since I'm only seventeen…"

"We talked over about that with Drew's parents. They said that Drew will turn eighteen a month before you, and your birthday is a few days after your graduation. So a week after your eighteenth birthday."

I nodded and asked them to let me be alone for a while to think this over. They reluctantly exited, afraid about what I might do to myself during my alone time, but I assured them that I won't kill or hurt myself in any way.

Once they left, I laid on my bed staring at my ceiling that was filled with glow-in-the-dark stars. I thought about the events that just occurred today. Did Drew knew from the moment he saw me earlier today that he was going to get married to me? Why would he agree to something like this? I needed to talk to him in private later to get answers to my infinite amount of questions that lingered in my head.

Though I still had time before the wedding to find a loop hole out of this mess. It was only the beginning of November and then my birthday would be in the first week of June. I had more than half of a year to clear things out. Though the only question is how I would get him not to marry me.

I sighed, pondering for too long was never in my favor because it either exhausted me, confused me more than I already was, or hurts my brain. I lifted my left hand in the air and looked at the ring that laid on my ring finger. It was a sterling gold that had a small diamond in the middle of it. I just wanted to throw that ring out the window and hope that it fell in the sewer and gets eaten by an alligator, but I couldn't.

Again, I took a huge sigh and turned towards my nightstand where the rose that Drew gave me laid peacefully. I grabbed it and examined it. It was still a very healthy rose that was full of red petals and the thorns were cut off so professionally. Though I couldn't believe that I didn't notice this before, but there was a small note tied to the top of the stem. Carefully, I took it off and opened it.

Dear May,

I'm sorry about this whole thing. I know you must hate my guts right now, but if you want to talk about anything, anything at all then call me at: 458-696-0223

Your fiancé,

Drew

I looked at the note in disgust, he sounds so innocent in this note, but I know that he's not innocent at all! And the nerve of him to write your fiancé on there. I mean a simple from Drew would have worked.

Though I wanted answers and the sooner I got them, the better. I grabbed my cell phone from my desk and began dialing the number. I crumpled the piece of paper and threw it to the opposite side of the room. The phone rang three times before someone answered.

"Hello?" A male voice said from the other line.

"Hello, Drew, this is May."

"Oh, hey May. Called to apologize for slapping me twice I see," he said smugly.

"Ugh," I said in disgust, "no, I wasn't, and I don't think I'll ever apologize for slapping you. You deserved it." I mumbled the last sentence under my breath.

"What did you say May?" He growled out. I felt proud that I was able to tick him off.

Though back to business, "Nothing. Listen, I need to talk to you. Privately, face to face. Understand?"

"Sure princess, whatever."

Since when did he get the privilege to call me princess?! I'll just let it slide this once because I needed something more important from him. "Fine, then meet me after school at the park near my house."

"Why at the park? I mean I'll see you at school, so why not there?"

I rolled my eyes. "Because I said so. Now bye Drew." I hung up on him before he could say anything. I'm pretty sure he'll come to the park.

I walked over to my desk and took out a notebook and a pen and began scribbling down simple bullet point notes on the blank sheet of paper.
