Hello everyone, Ehesister here! Here is chapter 4, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon!

May's Point of View:

I can't believe Brendan! The nerve of him, trying to act cool to impress those jerks! Good thing we don't talk in Geophysical class which is next, I don't want to talk to that guy!

I quickly walk to class and sit down in my seat. Soon my teacher enters the class and announces that the class will be having a project due in two weeks. But we will be working in partners, which she will be choosing randomly by picking popsicles sticks with the students' names on them.

"First off, May, your partner will be…Brendan!" The teacher declared to the class.

"What the heck, you are so lucky May! You get Brendan, so unfair!" Said a girl near my table, completely angry I got Brendan, which is the one thing I asked not to happen.

"Please, can I get another partner?" I asked, begging the teacher to reconsider her decision.

"Sorry May, but I choose randomly. You should be glad, Brendan is very smart, like you, and you guys will finish the project fast and easily. Besides he's very handsome," she replied, winking at me. Was the teacher really trying to set us up?

Well I guess I don't have a choice, when has Friday ever been so awful?

Brendan's Point of View:

I was feeling so many emotions when I found out May was my partner: glad, shocked, fortunate, and feeling a little sorry for May since I knew she wasn't happy about this information. This is my chance, my chance to show May my true personality and to show her she can trust me. Good thing today was Friday, that way I can come over to her house or she can come over to mine, to work on the project. Since we are already there, we can get to know each other better.

Once school was done for the week, I walked up to May and said:

"Hey May, since we are partners I was wondering if you want me to come over to your house to work on the project?" I asked.

"I don't know I have a lot of homework…" She responded.

"Ah you have the weekend to do it, projects are worth more than homework and besides you always do your homework. Even if you somehow can't do your homework, you can make it up. Please May? It will be fun!"

"Well I thought you were mad at me."

"May I'm not mad at you! Sorry if it seemed that way, it's just…I'll explain that once we get to your house."

"Fine, but just to let you know, I walk home with my dad."

Once we arrived at the entrance of the school I see him. Norman, this city's gym leader! We talked, Norman and me. I told him my name and that I'm his daughter's partner for a science project.

He is pleased to see May making a friend, which May gives him a face and then she responds by saying that I wasn't her friend and that she was stuck with me. That makes Norman laugh and he tells her that I was her friend; she just doesn't see it yet.

After a long walk, we arrive at Littleroot Town, which is apparently where May lives. That surprised me and I make a shocked face that both May and Norman see. They both ask what's wrong and I replied:

"Oh, it's nothing; just I live in this town too,"

"W-what, you do?!" They both manage to blurt out.

I explain to them and showed them my house, well more like pointed at my house.

Norman takes us to their house and both May and I walk upstairs to her room, where we will be working on our project. We both sit on the rug in the middle of her room. May takes out the project worksheet and I see her full name.

"So your last name is Sapphire," I point out since I never really knew.

"Yes, it is, by the way, why weren't you talking to me before?"

"Oh, to be honest, I did want to talk to you but English was the only class we really talk in and I got too nervous to talk to you. I never meant to leave you out. I'm sorry if you felt that way, May."

"It's okay, I don't blame you, I'm not very interesting," May replies.

"What are you talking about; you are pretty funny and nice. That's interesting, wouldn't you agree?"

"Yeah I guess you have a point, thanks Brendan."

We started working on our project while talking and by the time I needed to go home, we were almost done. May takes me to the door once I was ready to leave, well tried to.

May's mother meets us at the door and once she sees me, her smile fades away.

"What is he doing here?" She asked, rather displeased.

"Mom, be nice, he's my partner for science, and he's also my friend," May replied.

"May couldn't you choose someone better?"

"Mother, he's a great person! He's smart and he actually helped me on the project we need to work on, unlike the rest of the students would have! Besides he was just about to leave, so leave him alone!"

"May we will discuss this later, and you," she started pointing at me, "get going, I don't want to see you for the rest of the night."

I quickly walk out the door and head for my house.

"What was that all about? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" I thought to myself. I hope I didn't get May in trouble, she defended me after all. She even called me her friend. That made me feel relieved to see May was starting to trust me again. I never had so much fun doing a project before, May was a great person. I wonder why she doesn't have many friends.

I walk inside my house and I see my mom waiting for me.

"Hey mom, I'm back. Sorry I was gone the whole day, I went to my friend's house to work on a project."

"Its fine Brendan, at least you're here now. Who's your friend?"

"Oh her name is May, May Sapphire and she is such a good person."

My mom stopped doing what she was doing and looked at me, she later added:

"Brendan, we need to talk."

Cliffhanger, I feel bad now. Guys you can wait another week to find out what happens. For now, Ehesister out, peace!
