"You're joking." I squealed.
"Nuh-uh. He just hit on me. I feel like a dork now, though. I made him think I wasn't interested." May grumbled towards the end, "I didn't even get his name!" May threw her hands up into the air.
"Is he a Freshman?" Leaf asked.
"Ya. It said so on his student card. I stared at his picture for a while..." May said, drifting off into space.
"May? May?"
"Huh? Oh- what?"
"Nothing." I murmured. "Wait," I continued, "You stared at his Student Card, but you didn't get his name?"
"No..." May hung her head. Leaf and I giggled.
"He probably just thought you were playing hard to get." I added.
"Hopefully. He had a pretty good looking friend, too."
"Really?" I asked a little too desperate.
"He, ya. He's pretty well tanned, black hair, and he had a Pikachu on his shoulder. It was soooo adorable!"
"You should probably take that one, Dawn." Leaf joked.
"Haha," I sarcastically said, "What instruments are you guys playing this year?" I asked to change the subject.
"What do you mean?" They asked.
"Well it said in the handbook that we're all required to play an instrument." They looked at me in surprise.
"Well, I'm all set with either drums or guitar." May said relaxing on her bed.
"Does a tambourine count?" Leaf asked.
"I doubt it. Singing doesn't count either, I already asked." I said.
"Well, that's all I did when we, messed around in Dawn's garage..." Leaf complained.
"Then it looks like you're going to learn how to play a real instrument." May joked, "Lucky Dawn and I are all set." She smirked.
"Shut up."
"I wanna go wheeling, Dee-Dee?" May asked. Dee-Dee was a nickname Kenny gave me when we were younger.
"Don't call me that." I threw a pillow at May.
"Ow! Fine. So how about it?"
"I don't know, what about Leaf?"
"I'll be fine. I'll just hang out at the lounge. I really want get into my book, too. Katniss just volunteered!" Leaf exclaimed.
"Well, if sure..." I said.
"Go! Leave me and my book!" May and I giggled.
"Come on! Let's go." May grabbing her board and handing me mine.
"You coming Piplup?"
"Pip-pip!" Piplup said while climbing on my hair and sitting on my beanie.
"Come on Dawn!" I said. I saw a head of Green with a gray unbuttoned shirt and purple shirt sitting with that one kid. I past them and went around the fountain and dipped my hand into the water, splashing whats-his-face with water.
"Hope I didn't mess up your hair, Prettyboy." I winked.
"I subtly heard, "I told you she was into me." I grinned as Dawn joined me.
"So is that the guy you were talking about? Didn't know he had such crazy hair. That was him right? With his friend with the Pikachu on his shoulder?"
"Ya." I did one of those fantasy sighs, "Just remember, I got dibs." I smiled.
"Haha. Sure. So where are we heading? Just exploring again?" Dawn asked.
"Yep! I want to find either A skatepark, a round pool, or a construction site."
"May, I told you! I was just joking!"
"And I told you, I wasn't." I smirked.
"Fine." Dawn half complained.
"Pizza Place... Apartments... Restaurant..." I said looking to my right while Dawn looked at the left side as we toured down yet another street.
"Flower shop... Bakery... Ice-cream Parlor. May I doubt there's a skatepark here. We can grind on the rails down at the Boardwalk, though."
"No we'll go to the Boardwalk with Leaf so she doesn't miss out on anything."
"Alright. Let's head back though."
"Fine." I groaned.
"No way. Turnips can't be that large." I challenged.
"No? Fine don't belie- OMG there he is. Act natural. Act natural!" May said slightly slapping Me.
"Wha- Oh. Ok." She said looking up ahead. There was that one guy and friend.
"Hey May." Drew smiled. I practically melted when I shook his friend's hand.
"Hi, I'm Ash. It's great too meet you. This is my pal Pikachu."
"Pika-pika."
"Hi! I'm Dawn and this is Piplup." Piplup turned it's head away when Ash tried to shake it but gradually took Pikachu's. "I'm sorry, I don't know what he has against you." I gave him a sheepish grin. Nice one loser. "Well May and I better get going. Bye." I said letting go of his hand and running down the hall to meet up with Leaf in the lounge.
"It doesn't look like she's in here." May told me as I went through the 'door'
"Really? Maybe she's in our room." I said and headed down the hall once more. Around halfway there I turned left then right then turned left again at the fourth door. I took out my key and unlocked our door. It was dark, with exception of a glowing dot in the corner of the room that looked like it was coming from under a blanket. Leaf covered the ceiling window (also a fire escaped route) with the curtain that somehow staid flat up there.
"Leaf?" May asked. Silence for at least 10 seconds. There was a groan. Then someone holding her breath. And then...
"NO PEETA NO! YOU CAN'T JOIN THE CAREERS! KATNISS NEEDS YOU! YOU NEED KATNISS!"
"Leaf?" May and I asked in unison.
"Are you okay?" I continued, going closer to Leaf. I removed the blanket and there she was, holding a book and had bags under her red eyes with a flashlight under her headband.
"Leave me be!" She hissed.
"Suit yourself." May said leaving the room.
"May!"
"What?" She responded. I looked back at Leaf. I tossed the blanket over her head and put Piplup on my bed to rest.
"Wait for me." I slowly backed away and closed the door, "So what do we do now?" I questioned.
"Wanna go play video games in the lounge? I bet you they have Modern Warfare 3." May tempted.
"Sure." I smiled, "That is, if nobody's playing on it."
"If they are then we'll play foosball." May said.
"Sure, I guess." I haven't been to the lounge yet but it looked really cool.
"Yes! It's open. May and I walked towards the been bag chair. I walked up to a chair and reached for the controller, but it looks like someone else's handd got there first. We both pulled away and looked up.
"Oh, Hey Dawn." Ash said smiling.
"Uh, hey. Where you going to play?" I asked.
"Ya. Drew and I were going too." Ash turned around to look at the other chair so I looked past him and did too. There they were. May and Drew fighting for the controller. Sigh. Ash and I just stood there shaking our heads. He really did look cute. Maybe I did have a chance. Ya know, no more waiting to make them to make the first move.
"So Ash, do you wan-"
"Oh Ash!" Another voice rang. We both turned in that direction.
"Hey Misty." Ash grinned. Misty gave him a hug and Ash kissed her on the cheek, "Dawn, this is my girlfriend Misty. Misty this is Dawn." Misty looked at me then down at my shoes then back up. She scowled but simply waved it aside.
"How do you do, Misty?" I said sticking my hand out. She turned her head to the side.
"I've been better." She grumbled.
"Sorry to hear." I said through gritted teeth.
"Fine! Take it!" May said defeated. I could see Drew with a smirk on his face but his eyes showed a little bit of disappointed. "Come on, Dawn."
"Nice meeting you." I smiled before I left.
"-and he already has a girlfriend. And she's hot, like, freaking hot! How could I compare, I'm just me." I said bowing my head.
"Hold your head higher." Leaf said. I did as told. "Smile, show your teeth, there. I doubt she can compare."
"Well she did." May said.
"May!" Leaf said.
"What? I only speak my mind."
"She's right ya know." I said.
"Fine, whatever. I'm going to finish this last chapter before going to bed."
"I'm going to bail now. Goodnight." I said getting on the top of the bunk I shared with Leaf.
"Me too. Night." May said.
Why am I not good enough, I sighed. Tomorrow started the first day of school. I can't wait to see what'll happen.
