Hello, once again! I'm back with Chapter no.4. Thanks everyone for your reviews. I appreciate it very much.

Arshiya: You got reviews? For real? You must be joking!

Me: Duh! It's true. Why else do you think I'm saying it?

May: (jumping up) Yay! Hey Drew, we're getting popular day by day… Isn't it great?

Drew: (scowling) Quit being so childish. You're so immature.

Me: (scowling back) There's nothing wrong with that.

May: She's right. Thanks for supporting me.

Drew: (flicking his hair) Pathetic.

Me: Shut up!

Arshiya: Hey! I'm here too.

Me: You are? I never noticed.

Arshiya: (puffing out her cheeks) You're so mean.

Me: Whatever. If I remember correctly, I left all my readers with a cliffhanger. So May, will you please do the disclaimer?

May: Sure. Ayesha does not own pokemon.

Arshiya: But she-

Me: Just shut up. Let the chapter begin!

Chapter 4: The Horror Begins

The mystery person started cleaning their face while slowly standing up. Who is it? What if it's a person with a high temper? Then I'm done for. The person cleaned their face. It was…Drew! (A/N: I'm sure you must have guessed it) He looked so… funny! I giggled lightly while his face was twisted with annoyance. The giggle soon turned into laughter, and while I rolled on the ground laughing my head off, the whole campus started roaring with laughter. Some people hooted while some others whistled. The sight of Drew covered in food was making me mad with humor. Hah! Take that, grasshead! Served you well for messing with me! Drew was looking at me with a scowl on his face.

"Drew," I said between giggles, "you should see your face. You're looking hilarious!"

"It isn't funny July!" he said.

"It is very…. Hey! My name's May, you grasshead!" I roared.

"You're such an airhead."

"Airhead?! You're the one who should be called that, you scrawny green headed jerk!"

"I'm such a genius to invent such creative names, August," he said, smirking.

"Ugh! It's May! How can you still smirk when you're covered in food?"

His smirk vanished as he took in my words with horror. Seems like he forgot his current state. He looked at himself and then at me and started glaring at me. I responded by grinning in victory. He muttered an 'excuse me' to the watching crowd and hurried back, probably to the men's washroom.

Ayesha came up behind me. "Hey May, that was super awesome! Keep it up. It really flattened his ego a bit or more!"

"No problem. You know, his oh-I'm-so-great attitude was really ticking me off. At first, I was horrified as to who it might be, you know, covered in that mess, and I was thinking of a hundred ways to apologize. Never thought it would be Mr. Big Ego himself. I really enjoyed it, way too much," I said smiling satisfyingly.

Ayesha giggled lightly. "Now let's pick our food once more and head back to the group."

"Sure," I replied.

Just like Ayesha said, we took our food and made our way back to the group. Everyone on the table was laughing and chatting except Brianna. Of course! Anything bad happening to Drew won't ever make her happy.

"Hey guys, I'm back!" I said.

"May," Brianna said scowling, "you shouldn't have laughed like that. Didn't you see that Mr. Drew was so upset?"

"I'm sorry Brianna, the sight was too funny to control my laughter," I sort of apologized. I couldn't blame her for saying that since she's so devoted to Mr. Drew. And secondly, she had been so kind to me so I didn't want to say some crap to her.

"So," Arshiya began, "how was your life back at Petalburg? Do you have any brothers or sisters?" she asked.

"It was nice. You see, I have practically lived my whole life in Petalburg and I don't remember the last time I visited La Rousse. Petalburg is a sunny place with a hot and humid climate, so I'm used to it," I explained.

"So I guess it must be a tough for you to live here, in La Rousse, since it's a really cold place?" Ayesha asked rhetorically.

"Yup. You got it. But somehow, I'm able to manage it," I said.

"That's good to know," Wally said.

"And Arshiya, as for siblings, I have one brother. Max. He's a nerd. I bet if he was here, he would brag about how great and mighty he is. And trust me; it isn't something you'd be interested in. Stupid saucerman." That earned a laugh from everyone. "But, deep down, I do miss him," I said, and it was true I missed him. It was strange not having him around. Not hearing his mischievous laughs and not scolding him.

"Nerd, you say?" Callie spoke up. "It's somewhat good, you know?"

"And why do u say so? It isn't good, you know, to have a brother who's a geek and is constantly trying to pull you down and say stupid bragging stuff and insult his sister," I reasoned.

"Still, I have a brother too, and he's a bimbo. Not too bright. And guess who has to run behind him day and night, screaming and telling him to sit and study, and worst of all, tutor him? Me," Callie explained.

"What's so bad about tutoring him?" I asked curiously.

"The fact that he's a bimbo. Whenever I explain an answer to him, he forgets it the next minute. Sometimes, I even have to miss my favorite night shows because of him," Callie said.

"Oh," was the only thing I could say. Well, you can't say it isn't troublesome. Okay Max, you get a score for this one.

"Okay," I began, "so what is y-"

RIIIING!

What the heck! The bell has to interrupt someone talking. This must be how the professor felt. Poor man! Anyways, we said goodbye to each other and went to our respective classes I had English once again so I knew my way and therefore, Brianna didn't have to come with me. English. Great! I have to bear the wrath of Mr. Arrogant. I quickly made my way into the class and on my seat. As expected, Drew was sitting there with that stupid smirk on his face. Seems like he finally finished cleaning himself. I ignored him and sat down, removing my book from bag and straightened my posture. Professor still hadn't come to the class.

"Hello September. It's a pleasure to see you once again," he said smirking.

I had a strong urge to slap him then and there and tell him to say my name correctly. With great difficulty (Trust me when I say great) I somehow managed to stay quiet.

"I see, so you are ignoring me. How long can you do that October? My handsome face will somehow grab your attention. My looks…" he went on blabbering about his stupid looks. I was struggling badly to stay calm on the outside, but inside, I was boiling at 4000 degree Celsius.

"Enough!" I ordered. I couldn't take it anymore. How long was I supposed to hear him brag about his looks? "Can't you just keep your mouth shut? It surprises me, your arrogance. I don't want to hear about your stupid looks anymore!"

"See? I told you my looks were bound to grab your attention. Can't you just confess you undying love for me already?" he said/asked, cockily.

"You mean my undying hatred for you? I'll be glad to confess that!" I said, surprising him a little.

Just then, Professor Oak entered the class. All of us greeted him.

"Good Day to all of you," Professor Oak said.

Soon enough, the professor started explaining a poem while giving notes in the middle. I sat away as far as I could from the jerk. He was still looking at me and smirking. I just wanted to grab that smirk of his (that is, if it was in person or something like that) and rip it to shreds so that he can never show it again.

The period ended soon and I headed for my next class, PE. Not one of my favorites. For some reason, the teacher never attended it. The rest of the day came and went by, and soon enough, the bell signaling the end of the school day rang. I came out of the school and saw Ayesha walking out.

"Hey Ayesha! Wait up!" I ran screaming.

She turned towards me and a bright smile crept up on her face. "Hey May, good to see you too," she said waving her hand. I reached to her and stopped, gasping for breath.

"What's up, May," she asked.

"Nothing," I replied. "Just saw you walking and decided I should greet you."

"That's good. So, how was the rest of your day?" she asked cheerfully.

"It was good, except for a certain green headed jerk. He thinks of nothing but himself," I replied, remembering today's green head related incidents.

"That's Drew alright. He surprises me too, with his cockiness, but, he's not as bad as you think. Deep down that is," Ayesha said.

"Oh."

"By the way, where do you live, May?" she asked.

"Umm…," I paused. What was the name of the street? Oh right! "I live at Rosewood Street What about you?"

"Great! I live there too. Let's walk home together, shall we?" she said happily.

"Sure! My pleasure," I said smiling back.

We walked together while chatting.

"Hey Ayesha, can you tell me something more about Drew?" I asked curiously. I may not have known him for long, but long enough compared to the others. Still, I wanted to know some more about him. Reason: Even I don't know.

"Hmm…Why? Lemme guess. You have a crush on him, right?" she said grinning sneakily.

I blushed a bit. "No! Not at all! I'm just asking out of curiosity." It was true. I wasn't asking her because I have some stupid puny little crush on the grasshead.

"Well, okay," she said, a little assured. "What do you want to know?"

I shrugged. "Anything. Nothing in particular."

"Well, he usually hangs out with his group."

"I don't think I saw him with anyone today," I interrupted.

"Well, yeah, that's 'cause they have been absent for 3 days now. They'll come back, probably tomorrow or the day after. They go out for a 3-4 days a month. There are five of them, including Drew. The other four are Ash Ketchum, Misty Waterflower, Paul Shinji and Dawn Berlitz. Like I said, you'll meet them tomorrow," Ayesha explained.

"Hmm.." I mused. "Are they all like Drew? I mean, cocky and arrogant, and full of themselves..?"

"Well, no. But you'll know their nature when you meet them." She winked. "When you meet them, come to me and tell me how they are. Hint: Despite their natures, they are an interesting bunch."

"Uh… Okay," I said, confused. Different natures. Hope they are not arrogant and cocky like Drew. What if they….

"Hey, we're at Rosewood Street. Your home must be somewhere here." Ayesha's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked around, recognizing the area.

"Yeah, it is. That's my house," I said, pointing towards my house, which was in view now.

"Okay. Good home you have there," Ayesha said, examining my house. "My home is just a few more blocks from here. Pretty close by. Maybe we can have a sleepover sometime."

My face lit up at the idea of having a sleepover with friends. I shouldn't have worried about getting friends and such stuff, when I have such great ones. "Sounds super great to me!"

Ayesha smiled. "That's great! Okay, I have to go now. We'll meet tomorrow, at school. Goodbye!"

"Sure! Bye!" I said, waving my hand as Ayesha disappeared around the corner. I checked my watch. It was 3:30 pm. Dad must be at the police station, so I have the home to myself. But, I was very tired at the moment, so a nap would do good. I went inside the house, put my bag down and went straight to the bathroom to have a bath. After freshening up, I lied down on my bed, set my alarm and closed my eyes. I began thinking about the events today's day had brought. I considered myself lucky to have such great friends on my first day itself. Mom said that my personality is good so I shouldn't worry about making friends. I can't deny that. I smiled to myself thinking about friends. The smile soon turned into a frown when I remembered about a certain green headed person. Drew had really annoyed me, and he kinda reminded me of Max, with all his teasing and bragging. I laughed silently. My tiredness had taken over me completely and soon, I was sent into dreamland.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!

My eyes fluttered open. Nap time was over. I checked the time. It was 5:15 pm. I yawned loudly and stretched myself. Coming out of the bed, I washed my face and went down to the kitchen to prepare some snack. After preparing it, I went and sat on the couch and started eating. The sun was still up and it was bright. So, I decided to take a walk after snacking. Walking up to my room, I removed my previous clothes and wore a full-sleeved T-shirt and some pants. Since it was evening time, the air outside was a little chilly. So I also wore a jacket and walked out of the house and onto the street. Stuffing my hands in my pockets, I walked towards a nearby park. The crowd had diminished, so the park was almost deserted. A few children were running around and laughing, their mothers calling them, to return home. The swings and the play rides were completely deserted. As the sun began to go down, its light fading towards the horizon, the street lights as well as the park lights flickered on. I went and sat on a swing, swinging slowly by myself, back and forth. I checked my watch once again. It was a little past 6:30.

"Didn't expect to see you here," a voice spoke up from nearby. I looked around and saw Drew standing, leaning against a pole. I certainly wasn't expecting anyone to be here, let alone Drew himself.

"Oh. Hi Drew. I didn't expect to see you here either," I said, swinging.

Drew smirked crookedly and sat on the swing next to me. "You know, it isn't exactly safe for young girls to be out, alone, at this time of the day. Shouldn't you be at your home right now? Your parents must be worried."

I smiled slightly. "My dad's not at home right now. He's a police chief, so he's at the station right now, he probably won't be back before 8: 00."

"What about your mother?" he asked.

"She's back at Petalburg, with my younger brother, Max. I live here alone, with my Dad," I explained, saying the last part, as though it's been ages since I live here.

"So, you stay at home alone, until 8:00?"

"Well, yeah, but sometimes, his time of coming home exceeds, that is, if he has an important case at hand."

"Oh," he said. I was glad that he wasn't teasing me for once. Instead, simply conversing in a normal manner.

"You should go home now. It's getting dark and it isn't safe for airheads to roam about at this time. I can drop you if you want," he offered. I ignored the airhead part, since I really wasn't in the mood for that. But, since when is he being so nice?

"Thanks, but why are you so concerned about my safety?" I asked curiously.

I could tell that he was caught a bit off-guard by my question, but he regained his composure and smirked. "Now November, don't you think it's my duty to ensure the safety of my fan-girls or lovers?"

I fumed. "My name's May and I'm not your fan-girl or your lover, grasshead!"

"Let's take you home now. Maybe you can give your brain some rest, that is, if you have one, and-"

"Shut up!" I roared.

"Think about me in your dreams and scold yourself for denying your love for me," he finished.

"Enough! Please just drop me home now!" I exclaimed.

"Okay okay. Jeez! You should learn to control your temper!"

"I'll do that after you learn to control your arrogance!"

"Okay, let's go home now," he said and started walking toward the exit of the park. I followed him and soon enough, I was standing at the front door of my house.

"Thanks Drew, for dropping me home. It really is dark, and I'm not really fond of darkness. It gives me creeps," I said, smiling warmly at him.

"No problem. Now should I escort you to your room too? You know, being the airhead you are, you may have thrown a banana peel or something on the floor and may sustain some serious head injuries after carelessly walking around and slipping," he said smirking.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'll able to walk to my room on my own. And secondly, I haven't eaten any bananas, so there's no chance of its peel being on the floor, so you can relax. Now please just get out and leave me alone before you make me mad!" I said, glaring at him.

He smirked and walked out of the gate. He turned and threw one last look at me. "See, you admitted that my I'm so handsome that I make you mad at my sight alone, December!" Saying so, he walked out of the gate, raising his right hand, as if to say goodbye.

"It's May! And there's nothing about your looks that make me mad, so you can stop dreaming!" I screamed, raising my voice a bit for the last part. In response, I only received a laugh. I 'hmph-ed' and shut my door and went in to prepare dinner.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Drew's POV:

I watched as she screamed about her name. I laughed. May is so amusing. I was glad that I met up with her at the park and escorted her to her home. I thought about her insults and shook my head. I had more important things to worry about right now.

I quickly walked back towards the forest to the east of La Rousse. All the other vampires had decided to meet up there to discuss some important things. You see, a lot of murders have been happening here at La Rousse, and we suspected it was because of some vampires at work. Obviously breaking rules. This was madness. If May would have stayed out there any longer, she might have become a victim to one of the vampires lurking around. And that was the something I'd never want to happen. Since she was new here, she was oblivious to the murder-chain taking place here. Her dad, since he's a police chief, should take longer to come home, so I decided that after the meeting, I will go and keep a look on her. The area around her house is deserted and there are chances of vampires hunting there for their prey. So once I reach at meeting I'll-

"Aaaaahhhhhhh!"

And yet another cliffy! This chapter is probably bigger than the others. I hope you like it.

May: I liked it. It's great, Ayesha!

Me: Thanks a lot May. I appreciate it.

Drew: I'm a vampire.

Me: Yes, you are. Atleast in my story.

May: What do you mean by Atleast?

Drew: She means that I'm a vampire in real life too.

May: What?!

Drew: (making a scary face) Yes. And I want your blood! Gwaaah!

May: Aaaah! *runs out of the door, screaming like crazy*

Drew: She's such an airhead. (Raises his voice) I'm coming for you, May! *runs out of the door too*

Me: And that's their love story.

Arshiya: (yawns) Good Morning, Ayesha. Where are May and Drew?

Me: They are having fun. And it's not Good Morning, my dear. Good Night, Arshiya.

Arshiya: What?! Night already?!

Me: Yes, now go home. We're going to sleep. Anyways, did you like this chapter? Rate it on the Scale of 10. I'll be updating soon!

Arshiya: And pweez review! Good Night!
