Misty rifled around in her locker as the students surged and ebbed around her. Geography, Maths, Spanish... where WAS that Chemistry book? Her nose wrinkled in disgust as she came across the stinky gym uniform in the middle compartment. I really should get that washed sometime...
She slammed her locker close in frustration, muttering a few choice words under her breath.
An elbow slammed into Misty's side, knocking the wind out of her. She staggered back, gasping and heaving, desperate to gather oxygen into her lungs. Misty glared at a currently-laughing-her-head-off-triumphantly Dawn.
"Gotcha! You said I couldn't ever land a punch on you- yeah, right! How's THAT feel?" Dawn's grin faded when she saw that misty wasn't laughing. OR showing signs that she was the least bit amused.
"You are SO dead, Dawn," she growled- and launched herself at said offender. Dawn squeaked and stepped backwards, only to collide with someone behind her. The thre collapsed to the ground with an unceremonious thud.
May maneuvered through the current of students expertly. She stopped st Misty's locker and started talking on seeing the girls. "Hey guys, have you seen my cho-"
May stopped abruptly, doing a double take at the groaning mass of bodies on the ground. She panicked immediately, eventually managing to stammer, "I... I'm going to the toilet!" She melted into the sea of students. Dawn was just about to shout to May that she was heading in the wrong direction when the person she was sitting on called out, "May!"
Misty and Dwan turned around simultaneously to face Drew.
However, their reactions to the guy differed tremendously. "Hey! Are you looking for May? She just left. As you can see.". Dawn gestured vaguely in the direction of May's escape route, pushing Misty off with a grunt. She leapt up and watched as Drew pulled himself back together. Already upright, Misty crossed her arms, snapping bluntly, "Are you stalking May?"
Drew snorted. "As if. I was just looking for her."
"Than why was she running away from you? I've never seen her so flustered in my whole life.".
"I don't know! She's been so jumpy all day." Drew flicked his hair."Can't help it if she keeps on avoiding me."
"Yeah, right," Dawn piped in. She grinned and rolled her eyes. "You don't KNOW why. I'm pretty sure you're smarter than that, Drew. Figure it out."
"Anyway, she didn't really avoid you till the incident earlier.".
"What?"
"I won't count walking into your hand as avoiding," Dawn rolled her eyes again.
"Or arguing with you outside the school," Misty cut in.
"Or not moving away even when you sat in front of her.".
"Or asking you how to integrate 3/2x in Maths.".
The duo smirked simultaneously.
Drew gaped at them. "Wha- how did you know? Wait," he fumbled for his thoughts. "Were you guys stalking me?"
Misty sneered "Hell NO."
Dawn nodded pitifully at him."You might be even denser than Ash. Haven't you noticed so many girls hangign artound you?" Drew's only reply was a shrug.
"I can't help it if they act like that."
"Your fan club's more efficient than you think, Drew," Misty drawled. "Especially today."
The guy's evident confusion sent the girls sniggering. "You're really clueless, Drew!"
Offended, Drew glared at Dawn. "I am not- whatever!" He stomped off, even though he knew the childish act did nothing to help the situation.
