A/N: I forgot to ask you guys last chapter; how did you like the song Drew wrote? Well, I actually wrote it but still. 3 Let me know what you though of it. Thnx
The day went by slowly, but the lunch period seemed to drag out the longest. There was a slight break in their usual lunch tradition. May ate alone at a separate lunch table. Drew tried to ignore this but found that he couldn't. All of lunch, he sat watching her glumly, wondering why she was acting this way and why whenever she looked up and their eyes met, his breath caught in his throat.
Eventually, lunch ended and their afternoon classes began, but Drew couldn't concentrate there either. May was in all of his afternoon courses and in none of them did she speak a word to him. By the end of the day, Drew was miserable.
Kate had to stay after school for tutoring, so Drew's only option was to find May and apologize.
May had bolted out the door the moment the bell rang, but the hallway traffic slowed Drew down. By the time he got out of the big double doors of the school, May had disappeared down the road.
Drew began to run and he found her almost immediately. Way up ahead, she was walking briskly, holding her books to her chest, face turned up to the breeze. She looked so content that, for a moment, Drew faulted, unsure on whether to bug her now. He decided this couldn't wait any longer. He raced on ahead, calling her name as he ran.
May recognized the voice and sped up slightly. She wasn't really ready to face Drew at the moment and wasn't sure what would happen if and when she did. She knew that the outcome, however, probably wasn't going to be good.
Soon, May heard the sound of shoes slapping pavement as Drew began torn faster. Drew had obviously noticed her increase in speed but that didn't lower his spirit. He didn't stop until he was ahead of May. Then, he turned and spread his arms out, giving her nowhere to go except straight into a fence, backtrack, or dive into rush hour traffic.
Seeing this, May came to a halt. "Can I help you with something?" She said in and icy tone.
Drew found he couldn't think of what to say. He chuckled nervously and dropped his arms.
"Listen May, I know you're ticked and possibly hate my guts right now but-"
"Hate you?" May asked, her tone changing immediately. "Who said I hated you?"
"Well," Drew stated, now stated, now slightly flustered as May looked at him curiously. "You haven't spoken to me much at all today, just now you practically ran away from me, and you looked like you were nearly ready to bite my head off."
"But-But I don't hate you," May said, looking him back in the eyes, causing Drew's heart to race again. "I was just a little upset. I could never hate you, Drew. In fact," May said, getting a little overexcited, "I think I lo-" She clapped a hand over her mouth.
Drew cocked an eyebrow. "Huh?" he questioned, now eyeing her with a hint of curiosity.
"N-Nothing," May mumbled, her face bright red. "Forget it."
"Oookkkaaayyyy….." Drew shook his head before putting a hand on her face and tilting it up toward his own. His deep emerald eyes searched her bright sapphire ones. "I really am sorry…May." There was a sincere look in his eyes and May thought she saw a tear brim, too.
Glancing down at her feet, she whispered, "I know, I know."
Drew smiled. "Good," he whispered back, dropping his hand and following her gaze to the ground.
After a few moments, he swapped his bag to his other shoulder, awkwardly and cleared his throat.
May looked up. "Huh? You say something."
"What? Huh? No. Nothing."
"Oh…." May tilted her head back to the sky and breathed in deeply.
Again, Drew cleared his throat.
"Why do you keep doing that?" May questioned, not turning to face him, but speaking to the sky.
"Doing what?" Drew asked her, confused.
May cleared her throat. "That."
"Oh….I don't know," Drew answered, shrugging. "It's quiet,"
May giggled and looked at him, causing Drew to chuckle as well. She twirled around in a circle, still giggling. "It feels good to laugh."
"What do you mean?" Drew asked, smirking as he watched her spin.
May began to laugh harder, spinning faster and faster. "I don't know. It just feels like I haven't really laughed in ages." She let her hair down from the ponytail and continued to spin, her brown hair swirling around her.
"Stop before you hurt yourself," Drew laughed, catching her by the arm in mid-spin.
Dizzy from all the spinning, May collapsed into Drew's arms. He caught her around the waist and toppled over, landing flat on his back, May on top, much like the night before.
"Um…"May said nervously, heart racing, as she looked down at Drew. "Oops?"
Drew cracked up at the look of innocence in her eyes. "Why does this always seem to happen to us, May?"
May grinned down at him. "Beats me."
Drew grinned back. "Well maybe if you weren't such a klutz…"
May gasped, still smiling. "Me, a klutz? You're the one who fell!"
"So?"
"So it's you're fault!" May laughed poking him on the nose.
Drew laughed, too and hugged her, like he would hug Kate, tightly, head smothered in her hair. He could feel his heart rate increasing and felt May's beating along with his own. May blushed, a smile tugging at her mouth, as she hugged him back, burying her face in his shirt. They stayed like that for quite some time.
Then, after they had pulled out of the hug, they just laid there, staring into the other's eyes.
"What are we doing?" May whispered, her eyes scanning Drew's face, heart still pounding.
"I-I'm not sure," Drew replied, also whispering, turning his head away for a moment, but his eyes seemed drawn to her eyes.
How come I never noticed how beautiful she is? Drew asked himself, staring deep into May's eyes and becoming lost. And her eyes……
May placed her head on his chest again, enjoying the rhythmic beats of his heart. Drew smiled and stroked May's hair, placing her chin on top of her head.
A couple more minutes passed in comfortable silence. Then, they pulled back and smiled at each other.
It wasn't too long after that that their lips came crashing together. Drew smirked into the kiss, wrapping his arms around May as she placed her arms around his neck, giggling.
He was enjoying the feeling of May's lips on his own so much that, for a moment, Kate completely vanished from his mind.
They rolled over and continued kissing, but then Drew realized he was doing something horribly wrong.
"May….I….I….cant," Drew whispered between kisses. May ignored him until he pulled back.
"I can't," He repeated, turning his head away from her and beginning to stand up.
"No!" May said, yanking him back down and kissing him again. Drew shook his head and pulled away.
"No May…" Drew said, standing up and brushing himself off. "I-I can't do this to Kate. I still love her." And with that, he turned and ran down the street in direction of home.
A tear slid down May's cheek. "Kate….please….take care of him…"
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky….
You probably hate/love me for this don't you? Lol. Sorry but I just had to make them kiss. It would confuse Drew even more. XD Oh and now since I am officially OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMA!! I'll have much quicker updates (hopefully :D)
R&R
Luv Ya,
