"May, here!"
May looked around and saw Dawn Berlitz, her best friend. She was a cheery and boycrazy girl. It seemed that except for Ash she had a crush on every boy in the class. She truly disliked Ash, the reason, he wasn't a people person. But Paul also isn't a people person and she had a crush on him once. Dawn was truly a strange girl, but also a great friend.
"Hi Dawn."
The first thing May wanted to do was tell all about what happened yesterday, but first she wanted to talk to Ash. Maybe he didn't want that everybody knew.
On there way to school, Dawn did her usual thing. Talking about everything that a stereotype girl likes. May got used to her talks but sometimes she liked the tomboyish Misty better.
When they where at school, May was happy that Dawn would shut up, but scared that she might run into Harley. And with no Ash this time it could end a lot worse. Fortunately for May, the class Harley is in is on a school trip the rest of the week. She felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders when she heard it.
The bell rang and the first class began. May knew Ash couldn't be here, but still was disappointed he wasn't in class.
"Somebody missing today?" The teacher, Morty, asked. To May's surprise nobody seemed to notice that Ash was absent. "Nobody."
"Ash Ketchum isn't here." May shouted. The teacher wrote it down and began the lesson. Dawn and Misty gave her an odd look.
"What?"
"You noticed that Lonely wasn't here." Dawn whispered, not wanting to get the teachers attention.
"So?"
"It's that your May Maple, most popular girl in the class noticed that the social outcast wasn't here, that isn't suppose to happen.'
May wanted to say something in Ash his defense but decided to stay quit.
School went over pretty quick for May. Her plan was to visit Ash in the hospital but there was a small problem, it was Wednesday afternoon and that means, shopping with Dawn and sometimes Misty joins them.
"Come on May, its shopping time." Dawn said while pulling May's arm.
"Um, I can't."
Dawn raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"I have to visit A- someone." May answered, knowing that she couldn't say Ash without Dawn going crazy.
"Is it a boy?" Dawn asked in a teasing way.
"Y-yeah." May said soft.
"Is it Drew?"
May sighed, why did everyone think she and Drew belonged together. "No!" She yelled. In order to shut up she knew what she had to do. "You know what, Why don't we go shopping over an hour."
"Sure" Dawn replied with a big grin.
May was entering the hospital. First thing to do was to get to the counter to get to know in which room Ash is.
"WHAT?"
May heard someone yell, the strange thing was that she recognized that voice. She looked around and saw her father. She ran towards him.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Uh, May what are you doing here?" Norman asked surprised.
"I came to visit Ash."
"You're to late."
May was shocked. She could feel the tears flowing "H-h-he i-is…dead." She fought as hard as she could to hold back the tears. She failed.
"No, he is still alive, he just left."
Never in her live felt May so relieved and quickly whipped the tears away. However she wasn't happy. "Shouldn't he still be resting?"
A nurse came to the Maple's. "Indeed, but he insisted that we let him go early. He wasn't feeling comfortable her and he said that nobody would bother visiting him. He agreed that he had a lot of rest the next couple of days."
"Did he say nobody would bother to visit him?" Norman asked.
The nurse nodded. "Guess he was wrong." The nurse said cheery and walked away.
Norman sighed. "Come May, lets go home."
"I promised Dawn to go shopping with her after my visit."
"Alright, you know the rules. Be at home at six."
"And how does this looks?" Dawn asked May and Misty, who tagged along.
"Looks good." Misty answered. May wasn't looking, she was to deep in thought.
"Where does he lives, I want to talk to him. This is so confusing, I hardly know him and I was crying about him. I'm glad he is ok but still, he makes things so confusing. Could it be that I am starting to like him? NO, that can't be it. He is Ash Ketchum, least popular student in the school and I'm May Maple, one of the most popular. But that shouldn't matter. I have all the reason to like him, he did save me. And he is handsome, even if Dawn wont want to admit it. I just need to know him better. When he is back at school, I –"
"MAY" Dawn yelled, snapping her back to reality.
"Huh, what?" She mumbled.
"You where spacing out, but how does this look, think Gary would like me in this?"
"Probably not" May answered honest.
Dawn gave herself a look in the mirror. "Yeah, your right."
It was Monday. May hated Mondays but today she was a bit excited. Today Ash maybe came back to school and she finally had a chance to talk to him. In the past few days she tried to figure out where Ash lived. It seems that nobody knows. Also she came towards an answer in her question if she liked him. The answer was no, she didn't like him.
May was walking alone to school today. Dawn had to be at school early and Misty lived in the opposite direction of the school. It didn't bother May, she could collect her thoughts now.
As May walked trough the school gates she noticed three figures standing there. May ignored it until she came close and saw who the where.
At the right was a boy with blue hair and green eyes. He wears a white sweater with a large red R on it and white pants. Also he has Black boots and Gloves.
At the left was a girl with long red hair who wears the same outfit as the blue haired only a girl version.
In the middle was the man who May frightened the most. He had purple hair and purple eyes. He wears a green vest, green pants and a green hat, also a black shirt underneath. But in his hands was a particular object that made her fear him even more. A large Knife.
"May, doll. How have you been?" He asked with a devilish grim.
"Harley." Was all May managed to say.
