What You Went Through

"So did he ever tell you what he said in the other room?" Marinas asked excitedly as she sat before me on my fuzzy green rug. I sighed and rolled my eyes at her, but I smiled anyway. She's been in interigating me for the longest time and I'm trying to fill in every detail for her that I can. I've only been home for two hours and I'm getting the third degree by someone who doesn't even live with me.

"For the third time no, but I'm just as curious as you are to know. I'll have to ask him next time I see him." I said thoughtfully as I stretched out my legs in front of me. A smirk spread over Marina's face and I quirked an eyebrow in response.

"Next time? You actually plan on speaking with him again? I thought he was the jerk that made school a living hell for you." She said smartly while crossing her arms over her chest. I scoffed and waved her off in a nonchalant manner.

"Don't get me wrong. Drew is definetly not the first person I would go to." I began.

"That would be me of course considering I'm your best friend." Marina inserted in a matter-of-fact tone. I smiled and nodded. I feel like I knew everything there was to know about Marina. She was my best friend. She was my first friend that I made in this city and she's practically my only friend since I'm around boys all the time and they are all on the side of Drew.

"Of course, but Drew is just so…arrogant and confident." I said cringing a bit as a felt a shiver run up my spine. Marina tilted her head in question.

"Arrogant I can understand because it speaks for itself but he can be confident in many ways." She said as her smirked reappeared. I felt my cheeks heat up as I blushed. She and I both know what I was saying when I said he was confident.

"Please don't make me say it." I whined.

"Say what? You need to explain." She giggled. I groaned and pulled a pokemon plushy off my bed and screamed into.

"C'mon Marina!" I exclaimed throwing the plushy at her. She ducked and let it hit the wall behind her. I silently apologized to my Skitty plushy for that.

"Just explain!" She countered laughing openly. I glared at her before sighing in defeat.

"He likes to come on to me a lot! I'm not so dense that I can't see it." I said blushing deeper as I wrapped my arms around myself in a tight hug. She shrugged as if it were nothing. "I don't like to be toyed with Marina! He probably does that with every girl."

"If he does, how come he doesn't do it to me?" She countered. I thought for a second…that was a god question.

"Because your Jimmy's." I said slyly as a smirked came to my lips. Marina sputtered as her face flushed and I giggled at her reaction.

"That is way off topic! Drew never acted like that with any girl before. He was much more different before you showed up May. I don't know much but Jimmy does. You should ask him on Monday while we head to the shore."

"I think I might." I said crossing my arms over my chest. Could he really have changed after I showed up?


I watched carefully for the moment I would walk up to Jimmy and ask the question that Marina implanted in my brain and has been depriving me of sleep. I was excited about our trip also but this was awkward for me. Me and Marina being the only girls out of thirty classmates wearing bikini's wasn't that appealing but Marina demanded that I wear one for the sake of fashion, she says; I think she just doesn't want to be the only one in a two piece.

The bus was in motion and the teacher that was surprisingly on this trip with us didn't care what we did compliments of Drew's manipulation, however I'm still being careful not to be seen getting up from my seat and walking a bit to the back. I wanted to be cautious about that evil looking bus driver.

"Go already!" Marina demanded pushing me out of my seat. Of course she was sitting next to me and she was also being very forceful with me asking this question. I guess she wanted me to know just as much as I do. I sighed and snuck to where Jimmy was sitting next to Ash who was luckily on the inside seat. Drew was sitting right behind them with Paul and Brendan. He was listening to music and he looked asleep so there was no chance he would hear this…I hope.

"Hey Jimmy." I said kindly as I smiled as sweetly as I could, Jimmy smiled back. After a while I managed to get into the favor of him, Ash and Brendan. I could consider them friends but I have to keep remembering they are under Drew's rule. Paul…he really didn't care about anything, especially me.

"What's up May?" He asked gesturing for me to sit down. I smiled again thankfully and sat myself on the very edge of the seat. I glanced at Marina who gave me a thumbs up, encouraging me to go on.

"I have a question for you." I said lowering my tone so it was just above a whisper. He nodded, silently telling me to continue. "Well it's about Drew. A source tells me,"

"Marina." He said more as a statement and less as a question. I quirked an eyebrow at him and he laughed lightly glancing over in her direction. I did the same and she blushed as he smiled at her. She threw me a look and I shrugged.

"Yea, well she told me that Drew acted different…"

"Before you came." He said finishing my sentence and cutting me off again. If he was going to do that I would rather try to pry the information out of Paul.

"Yes." I said sternly hoping he would get the impression and not interrupt me again. "I wanted to know…exactly how did he act?"

"Well you might not know this but Drew never opened up to anyone when his father first got him to set foot into school. He was silent and withdrawn but frightfully smart. It wasn't until I became friends with him that I realized he acted that way because he lost the only friend he had and that was his mother." He said in a hushed tone.

"I knew Drew didn't have a mother but I didn't know that she died." I whispered sadly as a glanced back at Drew who was still peacefully sleeping with his music player still on.

"Yup. Worst of all she was killed by his father's ex lover." I cringed at those words. That was just beyond horrible. "Basically his mother was what kept him stable because his father didn't care. He was all about what income he had and how smart the students at his school should be, however he knew it wouldn't look good that he didn't have a relationship with his own son, better yet his students, so he gives Drew what he wants hence Drew's control over practically everything."

"That's not the way to connect with your kid." I muttered shaking my head. He shook his head as well.

"No, it's not, but it was what his father did. Drew remained secluded although he did find friendship in me and the others, mostly because we were all some of the most talented and experienced in the school. He had us but he still remained closed off to some extent and then…just a few weeks before you came he actually jumped off the roof of the school." I gasped out of shock and resisted the urge to scream my next words. I just said them in a harsh whisper.

"He what!?"

"We didn't understand it either. He was lucky enough to have survived. He actually said he was going to do it again…the day you showed up actually, but I think you stopped him."

I blinked stupidly as my mouth hung open. I didn't exchange more than a five sentence conversation when I first met Drew…how the heck could I have stopped him from killing himself. I know if he had tried I would have surely tried to stop him. Either that or jump with him just to make sure he would at least survive…even if I would break half the bones in my body. That school is huge!

"There's something about you May, something that actually got Drew to open up. The battle he had with me was the first time I ever battled him and he actually challenged me after you told him he was good at coordinating. He actually laughed when we mentioned you falling in the pool with him. To be honest I've never seen Drew happier when it comes to you. He never acted that way around a girl."

"So I've been told." I mumbled as my face flushed.

"I think there's something special about you May. I just hope that you don't take what everybody says to heart. Drew isn't the jerk people say he is."

"I guess he's not."

"One could even say that he liked you."

"Now let's not get carried away." I laughed nervously while waving my hands before me. He laughed at me.

"I'm serious. I'm sure it's obvious to you." He said smirking.

"Not at all." I said figidting.

"The question is, do you like him?"

"Oh I think Marina's calling." I said quickly before rushing back to my seat. I let out a sigh of relief and Marina smiled at me.

"So…what did he tell you?" She asked me.

"A lot, Marina. He told me a lot."


"Why would you tell her that!?" Drew snapped coming out of his pretend sleep and whacking Jimmy upside the head. "All that was none of her business!"

"Yea but all of it was true and you know it." Jimmy laughed lightly looking back at him. "It's obvious you like her too."

"Yea and you like Marina but I don't put you on blast, now do I?" He retorted.

"I'm actually open with the way I feel, unlike you. You like to play games which is a first for you."

"Not to her."

"Good point."

"You need to know when to keep your mouth shut."

"It's better that she knew anyway."

Eh May and Drew didn't talk directly but I find this cute

Sea: Yes, May completes Drew.

Drew: No she doesn't.

May: Yes I do and you know it.

Sea: Can't beat that logic.

Me: Pweez review
