Ahh, 11th edit! MUST FINISH ALL BEFORE CAMBODIA!


May was stuffing in her food, mumbling about some random stuff. Anabel looked at May worriedly, her eyebrows raised. "Um…May?"

May scowled at the lavender-haired girl, and at her best friend's scowl, Anabel instinctively shifted closer to Whitney and Jasmine, both equally afraid of what their best friend could possibly do with her temper.

Whitney looked at May cautiously, then continued combing her hair, in preparation for a date with Brawly. She took out a mirror and admired her face. "No guy could ever resist me like THIS, man. Oh, yeah, I'm so hot." She praised her face.

Jasmine was watching Volkner nearby. She blushed when he made eye contact and smile at her. It was simply electrifying. Something that could hit down that steel-hard heart of hers.

Solana stormed towards her circle of friends, and sat next to May. She plopped her plate down and started shoveling food like May, mumbling some very scary things.

Jasmine looked at Solana. "Um, Solana…?"

Solana gave Jasmine a scowl.

Anabel rolled her eyes. "Girls and guys. They may never be able to understand each other."

Whitney looked at her in shock and mild amusement. "No way, girl, I totally understand Brawly. He likes my hot-ness." Then she continued combing her hair, while commenting on how beautiful she was into the mirror.

Anabel sighed dejectedly. "Why do I have a feeling that there are only 2 sane people here?" she asked no one in particular.

Brendan and Drew soon joined them. "Make that 4 sane people here." Brendan piqued in. He sat down, looking at Ash worriedly. He was still poking his already mutated sausage, the cheese in it all flowing out and making the scene even uglier.

Drew looked at Ash. "Add one emo guy, 2 insane girls, and with the 4 sane people, you got us." And he promptly sat down. "Well, it's a unique combination, no?"

May looked up at the words "emo guy" and she stopped her shoveling and started poking her empty plate. She cringed.

Solana finished her food (and her mumblings) and she huffed.

"I'M NOT INSANE." She announced. Then she gestured at May. "She's not insane. Just emo."

May frowned. "Ugh, whatever. I'm off." She shuffled away, leaving 2 boys and 4 girls.

Solana grabbed a passing Lunick and made him sit down.

"We need to talk about the emo couple in our hands, guys." Solana slammed her fist on the table top in determination. "What in the world happened today?"

Brendan mused for awhile about that morning. "Well…" His face was a big blank for a moment.

Jasmine looked at Brendan's face. "Is he really thinking…?"

Misty, as new girlfriend of Brendan, joined in. "He looks stupid."

Solana rolled her eyes. "Yeah, like that super nerd in the class."

A reply from Brendan convinced the whole group that he was insane. "CHEEEEEEESE!"

Everyone sweatdropped.

Solana groaned. "Thanks for your wonderful comment." She added sarcastically.

"We can all learn from this…valuable experience." Drew murmured.

Misty got so mad over Brendan's…dumbness, she slapped him.

"KYAAAAA!!" she slapped him again. And again.

Everyone covered their eyes from the very violent scene.

Brendan cowered in fear, bracing himself for another blow. "OKAY, OKAY I JUST REMEMBERED! ASH RAN DOWN TO SEE MAY AND ALMOST KISSED HER!"

Complete silence. Misty dropped to her knees, at Brendan's level, and hugged him as a reward for remembering.

"Okay, Solana, what's our plan?" Brendan asked, immediately standing up, offering Misty a hand at the same time. She accepted it gracefully.

Solana grinned, and grinned so insanely that everyone froze.

THIS was going to be evil…


PHASE ONE:

Ash kicked a random stone that happened to roll past. He sighed.

He looked up at his classroom from below. Ugh, this was going to be a LONG day.

Meanwhile, Solana was busy writing a note.

A note of apology and a love note at the same time.

And, no, it's not for Lunick. It's for Ash, and it's not going to be from her. It would be from a person, nicknamed "A-Z" so Ash wouldn't know who in the world the person would be (Brendan was dumb enough to ask if Ash knew a girl whose username started with a number).

May got a similar note herself, written by Drew, because he was the ladies' man, and he knew the laws of sweet-talking:

"Why can't you just put a simple sorry instead of a poem?"

"Ahem, Brendan, Rule #459 (o.o) of the Law of Sweet-Talking, beat around the bush with excellent vocabulary. And Rule #468 (how much our water fund was worth…and that's just ONE of them…oh, wait, this ain't my Project work. Damn.) of the Law of Sweet-Talking is that poems are the key to any girl's heart."

"…Exactly how many rules do you have?"

"Um…wait, wait……507."

Yes, it's freaky.

Ash kicked his…18th random stone/rock/paper/frog aside as he shuffled into the classroom, violently yanking his chair out and then slumping in it. Life's like that. You get your ups and downs. It's never happy all the time.

SOOO, anyway, Ash habitually placed his hands under his desk. Instead of feeling nothing but air, he DIDN'T feel something soft (read my one-shot Birthday in Loving you, in many ways to guess why I'm laughing when I THINK I'm supposed to do work.).

A…note in an envelope?

He extracted it out of the drawer. Pink envelope.

Ash looked behind the envelope. A heart-shaped sticker held it down firmly.

Slowly, he ripped off the sticker (I can't really say 'like most guys' because today I saw a guy in PINK! GASP! And I have NO PINK SHIRTS…the last time I wore something pink was last year…) and took out the little note.

Please meet me outside the donut shop. I need to tell you something REALLY IMPORTANT. Love you loads and loads. And just for your information, when I meant 'loads' I meant a billion kilograms worth of love.

Love you a billion kg,

A-Z (MUAHAHAHA YOU CAN'T GUESS MY NAME!)

Ash rolled his eyes. "I'll go meet this A-Z guy anyway…"


May stared, totally stupefied.

Two things stunned her. A beautiful, red rose (she always dreamt of getting a whole bouquet, but one rose was enough to make her giddy) and a note attached to it. She read it:

It broke my heart to see you so far apart from me. But we're so close, yet so far away…may I request for my wonderful sunshine to meet me, outside the quaint lil' donut shop for a nice date, and we may talk over our donuts and tea.

With tons of kisses and roses,

Z

May rolled her eyes. "I'll go meet this guy anyway…or at least I HOPE this person's a guy."

Outside the classroom, Solana grinned. Ah, May, how predictable of her to say her thoughts aloud.

She looked behind her to find Lunick, giving her a silent thumbs-up.

"Phase One is completed."


PHASE TWO

"May, remember, talk to someone whom you know down there, okay?" Jasmine told May, for the 67th time ever since May told her.

"Jasmine-"

"Oh, yes, did I mention that you should stay close and talk to someone you know there? Just in case?"

"You seem suspicious."

"W-What? Uh, uh…NO, no. Not, uh, hehe, suspicious at all! Hahahaha, why um, suddenly say that??"

"Whatever."

"MAKE SURE YOU-"

"Got it, Jasmine."

Phase Two was complete.


PHASE THREE

Solana and Lunick walked into the donut shop, 10 minutes before both Ash and May were due to meet 'A-Z'. Solana had her arm tucked under Lunick's arm. The poor boy could not stop blushing. Some schoolgirls looked at Lunick and winked at him cutely.

"HEY, THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND YOU'RE WINKING AT!"

And the schoolgirls ran off, and the two could hear a distinct "Mommmaaaaaa!!" and some wails.

The two sniggered, but Solana quickly smacked her forehead. "Lunick, HURRY!"

"Oh, yeah right. Phase three. Oh gosh, this is going to be EMBARASSING!"

Solana giggled insanely at her boyfriend, obviously quite flustered. She pecked him on his cheek to give him some encouragement.

Lunick blushed. "Ugh, fine, fine."

The two quickly walked in, like any normal couple, rambling about each other's appearance. There was only one couple present, and they looked at Lunick and Solana like they were lunatics. (Lunatic Lunick…o.o) Then, they quietly continued munching their donuts.

Solana inspected the area. "The staff can stay…not the couple. They'll give Ash and May BAD ideas…"

She walked up to them, while Lunick quickly walked to the bathroom.

"Um, excuse me, but I have to interrupt your date; my baby's up there and he just emitted a very toxic gas from his butt."

And then to add to the drama, Lunick came out, coughing loudly. "U-Ugghhh…" and then he collapsed.

That sent the couple fleeing.

Solana high-fived Lunick. "Yeah, we did it!"

They both saw Ash and May approach the store, and they quickly ran into the toilet.


May raised her eyebrows at Ash. "Hey."

Ash looked back at May. "Hi…"

"Uh…" they both simultaneously said, and then the two burst out laughing.

May interrupted the light-hearted moment. "You waiting for someone?"

"Uh, yeah. I assume you're waiting for someone too?" Ash queried, his eyes flashing with hope. But, of course, it was unknown to Ash.

"Yup."

Ash looked around. There was no one from school patronizing the quaint shops. How unusual.

He gulped. Perhaps this was a good time. "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." He apologized, wiping a bead of perspiration from his forehead.

"That doesn't really need an apology." May smiled, her cheeks tinted a light pink. "We're still friends, right? No matter what happens!"

Ash laughed. "I didn't have such a deal with you."

"Well, we'll have a deal here. We'll promise to be friends, no matter what happens! Okay?" May clenched her fists enthusiastically to show her determination in making this deal go through.

"Fine. We'll seal it with a kiss."

"WH-"

"Kidding, kidding."

And the two…not-so-newly found friends forged an even stronger friendship.
