I know I've taken forever to update. I got sick AGAIN and now I have to catch up on loads of work… Ugh. So I'm taking this free time to force myself to write. I hate not updating fast; I don't want to leave you guys hanging for too long :)

"A dead person!"

"A corpse!"

"A skeleton?"

"No way, man. This is suppose to be from a movie"

"Chucky?"

"The Grudge!"

"YAY THE GRUDGE!"

Drew winced slightly as May yelled into his ear, ecstatic at guessing the right answer. She bounced up and down, clapping happily. The green haired boy furrowed his brows at his girlfriend's uncharacteristic behavior.

"Oh, Drew. I feel so good!" May leaned in and kissed his cheek as she wrapped his arms around his neck.

Drew stared at her wearily, half expecting her to burst out into tears.

"Drew?"

"Huh, yeah?"

"You're soooo cute, you know that?" May giggled as she swung around him, sipping once again from a red cup.

Drew blinked in confusion for a second until he regained his composure. "Yeeah, I know," he finally said with a smirk.

A new voice came from behind the couple. "May! My cute little buttercup!"

Drew didn't need to turn around to recognize the flamboyant boy by the of name Harley.
"Harley! Heeeeey!" May grinned.

"My precious pumpkin, would you mind if I stole your boy here for a few seconds?" Harley said cheekily.

"No problem," May replied and she danced away.

Drew turned reluctantly away from May's retreating figure and looked at Harley. "Hey." He decided Harley was only worth his monosyllabic answers.

Harley appeared to have disregarded Drew's obvious discontentment. "I just want to congratulate you on a totally fab outfit! Wherever did you get such a monstrosity?"

"Thanks," replied Drew tonelessly, ignoring his rival's question.

"It's so original, I mean, like, look at those glasses! Where did the inspiration for this costume ever come from?" Harley laughed gaily.

"Tuxedo Mask."

"I'm sorry?"

Drew sighed. He would obviously have to be a little more multisyllabic. "You know… From Sailor Moon?"

Harley started at him blankly for a minute before sucking in a large breath in an overly theatrical gasp. "O-M-G, hun, that's a totally fab idea! I can't believe I didn't recognize that at first! You see, I completely didn't…"

Drew drowned out the rest of Harley's speech, feeling impatient. He was having rather hard feelings towards Harley lately. It all started with Drew's first contest of that region. He and Harley had both competed in it. Harley, being the devious mongrel he was, decided that Drew's reputation as a talented and pure coordinator deserved to get ruined. He wanted it to go out with a bang, right at Drew's debut for the new region. Long story short, Harley pulled some tricks on Drew and did a bunch of horrible stuff, pointing the finger at his rival. If May hadn't come in and saved him at the very last moment, Drew's popularity would have tarnished and he would have lost a considerable amount of supporters. In the end, Harley had apologized profusely, but Drew saw right through it.
From that moment on, Harley acted like nothing had happened at all, while Drew's feelings towards Harley remained hard as rock.

"Yeeah, that's great, Harley," Drew drawled, forgetting completely what Harley had just said. He searched for an escape in his mind. "Hey, May, didn't you say you had to-"
He turned around and realized May wasn't behind him, after all. He thought that he had felt her come back behind him… felt her hand in his… felt her breath on her neck… What the-

"April!?"

April was standing behind him on his left, staring at him intently. When she realized Drew finally noticed her, she fluttered her eyelashes and tried to smile seductively at him.

"What the hell are you doing?" Drew ripped his hand out of April's and glared at her furiously. He did not want to deal with her after Harley.

"Baby…." She moaned drunkenly.

Drew closed his eyes in frustration and turned reluctantly towards Harley, who was looking at him questioningly. Suddenly, a little idea formed in Drew's mind.

"Hey Harley," he said. "I want you to meet my old fr-… I want you to meet April." He leaned back and crossed his arms, waiting.

Harley's eyes popped out of his head as he took in April's scantily clad form. He looked at Drew questioningly who replied by wagging his eyebrows meaningfully.

"HARLEY, BABY, COME HERE!" April yelped and leaped towards the tall boy.

Drew smirked satisfactorily as he turned away from them. There, he thought. That should keep them two busy… and out of my way.

Drew expected to see May in the room when he turned away from Harley and April but he was disappointed. Where did she run off to? It was highly unlike May to leave Drew's side like that. Not saying she was clingy- she wasn't at all. It was just that the party was full of people they both didn't really know, and May was sometimes shy on her own.

"May?" Drew called into the little hall to the right. He continued into the room where he first saw April but it was empty except for a group of rowdy boys. Next, he pressed his ear to the bathroom door. Hideous retching sounds were emanating from it and Drew cringed back in disgust. That's definitely not May, he thought. I hope…

He walked to the other doors on the right side of the room. Drew jiggled the door handle of the first one but it was locked. He tried the second and stumbled in on a couple kissing on the bed. Before he could stumble apologies he swung the door shut.

Where was she?

Normally Drew wouldn't fret too much about this, but he was in a bad mood to start with. Once something ticked him off, it basically stuck with him the whole day. He tried to shake this away but it made him even more furious that he couldn't not be furious.

Drew whipped out his cell phone from his pocket and leaned against the wall, hitting speed dial. It rang and Drew tried hard to hear May's ringtone coming from somewhere in the apartment, but the hum of voices was too loud. After four rings, May picked up her phone.

"Heeeeello?" she said, drawling out the world.

"May? Where did you go?"

"Oh Drew!" she suddenly burst out in sporadic giggles.

"Where are you?" he repeated.

"Everywhere!"

What the hell? "Are you still at the party?"

"Maaaaaybe."

Drew sighed furiously. "Look, I'm tired of your games. Just tell me where you are!"

"You'll have to fiiiiinnd me!" May giggled.

"May, what-?"

But the line cut off dead.

Drew ran a hand through his thick green hair, wondering what the heck was with May, and where she was.
