AN: Full disclosure: I'm going to be completely honest and say that I base what pairings I write in the chapter based on what I'm hearing/ what the majority of what you readers want (so please don't feel bad for telling me which ships you want, it actually helps me come to a decision. Don't think it's a bother, it's actually nice knowing people care enough about that tbh)… xD Cause otherwise, it most likely would be strictly friendship between everyone (I mean, I guess you can argue that it's all just friendship now - it pretty much all is lmao), but yeah… so forewarned, there will be a lot of advance (a little bit of pearl and contest too) and another funny ship. xD

Chapter 6:
Collection
.
Ash grinned.
"You ready?" he asked, feeling better than ever.
May groaned.
"No…" she grumbled.
"Come on, May, it's a great day!" Ash said, beginning to stretch his arms.
"Oh sure. Hey, aren't you supposed to be the sleepy one?" May asked, annoyed and cranky. Ash continued to grin.
"Yeah, well, I have you to thank for that!" Ash said, his fingers meeting his toes as he took a deep breath of the crisp air. Early morning runs were never May's strong suit, however, today especially was not a good day for her. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to go to sleep early, trying to finish impossible homework. I think I even aced my last quiz! Thanks again, May!' Ash said gratefully, reaching his arms in the air and stretching his triceps.
"You're welcome," May smiled back, grateful for that at least. At least she knew it was kind of working. He definitely seemed more confident about algebra.
"Great! Now let's get to running, we still have to get you on the girls' basketball team, and you still need a lot of work!" Ash called, starting to run in place before taking off, feeling energized and ready to take on the world.
"Hey, wait up!" May called out groggily, trying to keep up. May was just trying to not get crushed by the world, tired and struggling.
"You better get into the swing of things quick! We need to make up for all the lost time we missed last week!" Ash said, grinning wildly. "Let's just say there are going to be a lot of burpees in today's practice."
May inwardly groaned, wondering if he was intentionally trying to torture her.
The jerk.
Someone just kill her now before Ash does in practice.
.
"Come on, May! Match my speed!" Ash called as they continued to pass the ball back and forth, moving sideways across the basketball court.
"I'm trying to keep up!"
"You're going to have to keep up during actual practice, when you make the team! Come on, May, let's go!" Ash encouraged, continuing to pass the ball with ease. May nodded, panting as she tried to increase her speed.
"You need to learn how to pass well if you're going to make it to the team," he said. May nodded, passing the basketball back to him and heading to the other side of the court once more.
Today's practice consisted of a number of passing and shooting drills. She needed to get better if she wanted to get the position she wanted.
After practice, Ash stretched, feeling tired himself. Still, he smiled at May, proud of her hard work.
"Wow, great job, May!" Ash complimented.
May fell to the grass, exhausted.
"That the hardest I've ever worked," she said in between heaves.
"I can tell! Maybe that break did you good," Ash thought, walking over to her and handing her a water bottle. May smiled.
"Thanks," she said, before taking it and chugging it down.
She was getting through practice surprisingly fine.
It was the rest of the week that would be kicking her butt.
.
It was a new day, and May was tired.
"Hey, pay attention," Drew urged, eyeing her sternly.
May stared at Drew with a sneer, really dissatisfied in him telling her what to do, because no one tells her what to do.
Especially Drew.
"You're the one who needs to learn this stuff, not me." Drew shrugged, and May groaned, banging her head against the table. She hated when he was right. It was just so hard to focus anymore. She shook her head however, determination in her eyes once more.
"Okay, I will not give up! But still, this chapter is really boring." Drew rolled his eyes, giving a small laugh.
"You're telling me. I almost pulled a Ketchum," Drew said in thought, making May raise an eyebrow. "Oh, it's nothing," Drew said, figuring she wouldn't know what he was talking about. May let it go, since she did not need Drew to know about her lessons from Ash, or even suspect it. But still, his words made her wonder.
"Okay, so if I need to find what the function of this is, I just do this," she paused to concentrate on the problem, using arrows to help her figure out what she was doing. She looked at Drew. "Right?" Drew shook his head.
"No, you actually just have to do this," he started, writing the correct way to finding the function. "And what you're actually doing here is finding the domain of the function."
"This seems like, way too advance for me."
"Don't we all know it." May glared at him, while Drew gave a soft chuckle. May paused for a bit, her eyes averted as she looked down to her lap.
May grew frustrated, hating this. Absolutely hating this. How could she even think this was a good idea?
Sure, she was learning algebra 2, but at what cost?
Especially when he ends up looking at her and she just focuses in on the pages of the book, trying not to let him know that she knew he was looking at her.
He must have been getting a good laugh, she figured.
It gets super awkward. Like, super awkward.
She could not handle awkward, at all.
Sure, she was usually an awkward and quirky person herself half of the time – correction, all the time.
But there's no way she can be weird like this with Drew of all people.
She absolutely refused to be, not with him. Not after the fact she had declared Drew as her biggest rival ever.
"I...I have to find another way to learn this stuff. This is becoming really embarrassing, these library days with Drew," May thought. She kept thinking about other problems that could arise. She started thinking that maybe finding a better tutor for Ash would help him in the long run. When Ash asked May something she didn't know, sometimes, she had to make stuff up, and she figured that wouldn't be the best. She never knew what Ash wouldn't understand, so if she didn't get it completely, the only one who would suffer would be Ash.
She frowned, knowing there had to be a better way to go about this.
Asking Drew would be completely out of the question. She tapped on the algebra textbook, ideas beginning to formulate.
"May," Drew caught her attention. May shook out of her stupor, sheepishly chuckling.
"Right... right," May groaned, continuing to learn all about even more functions and other math equations she wasn't planning to learn until later in life (if ever, hah).
Still, she had to learn it. For now at least.
She focused, continuing to take in as much information as possible.
.
When May finished studying at the library, she staggered all the way to video / photography club. She was too tired from learning algebra 2 to be excited for the club.
She could see why Ash fell asleep in his class so easily.
She rubbed her eyes, making her way in, only to see Trip and Conway already there, on the computer once more – like always.
"Oh, you're back?" Conway wondered, fixing his glasses. She could see the glare from the computer screen, making his face even creepier than before. She shivered, finally awake.
"Yeah, I'm back. Hey, why do you guys always have the lights off?" she wondered before switching them on. Conway hissed as though he was actually a vampire, while Trip rolled his eyes by the dramatics.
"Yeah, it's easier to focus."
"It's easier for me to fall asleep," May corrected, giving a yawn for good measure. "So, what are you guys up to? Still working on the yearbook?" she asked. They both nodded.
"Hey, can I help?" she asked excitedly, walking towards the boys. The boys nodded.
"I thought you wanted to film?" Trip thought, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm going to have to learn how to edit videos and photos sooner or later. Plus, schedule much? I thought Serena was going to use it today?" May wondered.
"Well, as you can see, she is not here, so you could-" Just then, as if on cue, Serena ran in.
"Hi, sorry about being late! Culinary club always runs late. Especially when I'm not finished making treats! I hope you guys like these," Serena said in between huffs, opening a plastic container filled with different pastries.
May's face instantly lit up, a deep blush rising at the kind gesture.
"This is my favorite part of the day!" she gushed, immediately taking one before the boys had the chance.
"You were going to use the video camera today?" Trip asked. Serena placed the plastic container on a table, while she went to take the camera from Trip.
"Yeah! And May, would you be able to help me?" she asked, and May nodded.
"Sure thing!" May agreed.
Serena smiled, excited to start making her contest entry.
.
While May was going to her club, Ash and Dawn decided to do their homework in a classroom once more.
"Hey, race you to the room," Ash said before running off.
"Hey, no fair!" Dawn called, before running after him.
Ash had obviously won.
"You cheated, though. So it wasn't much of a win," Dawn said in between breaths. Ash laughed, soon taking his tongue out.
"Nah, I still won fair and square. I'm the fastest still, remember?" Ash reminded, and Dawn rolled her eyes, crossing her arms as they walked into the empty classroom.
They both found their seats from last time, before Ash scrolled through his music.
"Hey, why don't you pick out some music this time?" Ash asked, before settling down and figuring out what he had to do for his classes. Dawn frowned, feeling the very real social anxiety that comes along with picking music.
"Hmm," she said in thought, before scrolling through her playlist. "Well, what kind of music do you like?" she asked, biting her lip a little. Ash shrugged.
"Anything is fine with me," Ash said. And Dawn gulped, knowing that when someone said anything, they don't really mean anything. At least, that was how she felt. Dawn paused thinking for a bit before deciding to play a particular song – one she thought that might be familiar to him. Ash grinned.
"Hey, is this a new song?" he asked, before Dawn pouted. She was hoping this would surge his memory, but she guessed not. She sighed, shaking her head.
"Nope! Actually, a pretty old one now," she explained, before deciding to just let it go and focus on what she had to do.
When she took out her agenda in her bag, she looked through her homework. Ash couldn't help but notice, his eyes in awe at her neat notes.
"How do you manage to do that?" Ash wondered, completely shocked. Dawn shrugged, a small smile on her face.
"I just write down any homework I have. No big deal," she said, before looking at her first classes homework. She grabbed her folders and began writing.
Ash frowned. "I need to get organized or something. I have to figure out when I'm going to do anything. I had to get reminded today that I have a big group project I need to work on. I haven't even talked to my group partners about it," Ash said, frowning.
"No need to worry, you got this. There's still time, right?" Dawn tried to reassure. Ash nodded, figuring he could start on his part at the very least.
"Yeah, you're right. Can you help me?" he asked. Dawn nodded.
"Yeah, of course!"
"Thanks, Dawn," Ash said, before looking through his history textbook. He hasn't even gotten a hold of his group mates. He shrugged, watching Dawn work, and deciding it was a good a time as any to start working.
It was a good 30 minutes before Dawn received a call.
"Hold on, Ash. I need to take this – my mom," she explained, before she answered her phone and greeted her mother. Ash could see her face fall as she nodded as she agreed with something her mom (he figured it was out of habit, seeing as her mom couldn't see her nod her head).
"Alright, bye mom," Dawn said before hanging up her phone and turning to Ash.
"What's up?" he asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just have to leave early. My mom needs me for some errands. Hey, can you tell May my mom was calling for me and I had to leave early?" Dawn asked as she began packing her bag.
"Yeah, definitely," Ash said, before continuing to finish his homework.
.
"May, are you alright?" Ash asked, a frown etched on his face as he continued to pack up his bag. May sulked, nodding.
"Yeah, yeah," she grumbled crankily.
"You're starting to act like me when I get no sleep," Ash laughed.
"Not that. I get plenty of sleep. Just been studying more," May admitted. Ash smiled, chuckling more.
"That's great! If you're as good in your other classes as you are in math, I'm sure you don't need to study all that much," he complimented. May grinned, no one ever complimenting her intelligence like that. She scratched her cheek, wanting to literally pat herself on the back for a job well done. However, a part of her felt bad, knowing that deep down, she wasn't the best when it came to her studies.
Still, it was nice having one person think so – albeit probably not for long if she can't keep this up.
"Wow, thanks, Ash." Ash nodded, his backpack swung over his shoulder before he motioned that he was ready to leave.
"Hey, so are we going to your house this time to study?" Ash asked. May nodded enthusiastically, excited to show what she learned – well, what Ash is going to learn. May stopped, however, looking around the empty classroom.
"Hey, where's Dawn?" she asked, wondering where she had run off to.
"She had to leave early. She told me to tell you, that her mom needed her," Ash explained. May nodded in understanding, knowing that happened a lot, so she wasn't too concerned.
Time for round two of tutoring!
.
"Okay, so, basically, this is how you do this problem." May made sure to show him how the example problem was done with great ease.
"Aah, okay. Yeah, I've actually paid attention in class. I get the rules of figuring out the difference between functions… and those that aren't. The only thing I'm having questions about is why. Well, I'm just having a bit of trouble with the math part of it, like figuring out the stuff with the domain. I get it when you graph it, but after, it's weird for me," he said, staring at his book and eyeing the problem with frustration as he continued to try to solve it. He scratched his head, frustrated.
"Oh, I think I know this. If I remember correctly, it's..." May trailed off, too focused on the problem to finish her statement as her pencil raced across the paper. She handed it back to Ash so he could look it over and figure out what she did. His eyes brightened.
"Aah, cool!"
It was 45 minutes into studying, and Ash looked over to May pleadingly, in desperate need of a potty break.
"Hey, May? Where's your bathroom?"
"Go down the hallway, third door on your left," May said. Ash nodded, walking through her house. It was rather big, very nice. It seemed like no one besides them was home besides –
"Hey, are you May's boyfriend?" a small kid with glasses asked.
"What? No, we're just friends. She's helping me with math," Ash answered. He raised a brow at the little kid. The boy in question looked on in disbelief.
"May helping with math? May? Hah! That's funny," he said, fixing his glasses as he continued to chuckle.
"It's true, she is," Ash defended, eyeing the boy suspiciously. "She's really smart. Who are you anyways?"
"You must not be the sharpest tool in the shed either if you think that," Max teased, making Ash glare. "And the dork with the giant pokemon collection? Please! Oh? You didn't know? Check it out for yourself," he said, opening the door opposite of the bathroom, and revealing a kind of clean, kind of messy room. And the little boy was right. Ash's eyes widened when he saw a mass of Eeveelutions plushies on the bed. Max walked in, ushering Ash to go in too. Ash took a few steps inside, still in awe at the giant pokemon collection.
"That's my dorky sister, May's room. I'm Max by the way," he said, fixing his glasses some more with an evil smirk on his face. Embarrass older sister? Check. He giggled to himself, knowing the rule that little siblings had to embarrass their older siblings in front of their friends was the number one rule. He was doing a darn good job, if he did say so himself.
Ash looked around the room in disbelief. "Woah," he whispered, completely shocked. Max stared next to him, not shocked, but pleased with himself, patting himself on the back at a job well done.
"Max!?" May scolded, running through the hall. She quickly grabbed his ear, her eyebrow twitching and her eyes glaring daggers his way.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch," Max whined.
"May, you like Pokémon?" Ash asked excitedly. May let go of Max's ear, flustered as she turned her head the other way, her cheeks darkening in embarrassment.
"Ummm, I kind of do, a little, maybe?" May was clearly embarrassed, knowing that it was not all that cool to be such a big Pokémon fan during these times. Only Dawn knew this (Dawn having a piplup plush herself, mind you). She cringed a bit, Ash seeing her Pokémon collection not in today's plans.
"I love Pokémon too!" Ash confessed, grabbing her stuffed eevee and touching its soft ears.
"R-really?" she asked, her eyes wide at the revelation. Ash vigorously nodded.
"I love everything Pokémon," he admitted. "I actually have a stuffed pikachu. I had it since I was ten," he said, clearly enjoying her plush eevee, along with her little torchic. May stopped for a moment to completely process his words, before she grinned.
"Wow, Ash, you're such a nerd!" May teased, giggling. Ash furrowed his brows, clearly annoyed at how hypocritical she was being.
"I'm not the one with the stuffed eevees and torchic on my bed right now," Ash commented. "Anyways, Pokémon is super cool. Like super cool! Honestly, it is nerdy now, but just you wait, one day, everyone is going to love it again. I don't get why anyone would stop," Ash predicted.
May scoffed, "Yeah right. You'll always be a nerd in my eyes, Ash Ketchum."
"If I am, then you are too, May Maple." They both laughed, May rolling her eye.
"Did you get the new Sun and Moon games? I have Moon!"
"As if I have time to play them. But yeah, I obviously do – I have Sun. I just haven't played yet. I'm waiting till break to do that," Ash said, already knowing she was planning to gasp in utter disbelief. And that, she did.
"Ash Ketchum, first thing you're doing when break happens is playing your Sun game!"
"Yeah, Mom," he teased. Both laughed, continuing to talk on the floor as May continued to share her various Pokémon games, cards, and plush.
"Hey! I actually have Pokémon plushes and games too," Max interrupted, wanting to be included – especially since he loved Pokémon just as much as them.
"Then bring them, I want to see!" Ash said, while May just rolled her eyes.
"Excuse my brother," May said, hoping he wouldn't be too worried about dealing with a little kid like Max – especially after he completely embarrassed her.
"Haha, he's cool," Ash said, instead following Max so he could show him his collection of ralts, slakoth, and mudkip plushies. May glared at her brother, before getting over it and continuing to explain why Ash needed to obviously play the new Sun and Moon games.
Anything about functions or quadratic formulas was long forgotten.
.
May looked fascinated, hanging onto every word Conway said as he explained to her how to use the camera… again.
"You understand?" Conway asked, fixing his glasses. May nodded vigorously.
"How many times are you going to explain it to her?" Trip grumbled to himself.
"Ahem," May coughed loudly, motioning for Trip to shut his trap. "Actually, yes! I can't wait to start filming about my adventures!" May started, grabbing the camera from Conway and trying it out herself. Her tongue stuck out, trying to focus and remember exactly what she needed to do in order to work it. "Okay, so this is to turn on the flash, this is to adjust brightness, right? And this button will zoom in and out. Okay, I think I got it!" May exclaimed, holding it up to her eye before she pressed play and began filming.
"Today, on May's expedition, we get to take a better look at the video/ photography club and their inner workings! I'm here now with the president of said club, Conway!" Conway fixed his glasses out of habit, turning away from the camera.
"I-I'm not one for the spotlight," Conway tried to say, hiding his deep, embarrassed blush.
"Oh, come on! It's going to get us a lot more people to join! Imagine if we had a cool commercial that we can show everyone, or put on the school website!" May reasoned, continuing to film him.
"W-what?" Conway stammered, even more nervous.
"You just have to get in your element! Okay, tell me a little about yourself!" May tried, hoping this interview style filming would work. Conway fixed his glasses for the hundredth time it felt like (more so now out of uneasiness), feeling extra nervous. May sulked, wondering why he was being so shy. He was definitely not like this before.
"Um, okay, tell me about... the quadratic formula, or... Oh, tell me about solving for a function and or other algebra stuff!" May said, laughing at herself at the ridiculous thing. All she could really think about was math after her study session with Drew, so it was the first thing to come to mind.
Conway, surprisingly, wasn't so shy anymore, fixing his glasses he asked her what question. She shrugged, handing him a paper with a problem. Conway immediately began to explain said problem in full detail, even going to the dry erase board and writing the problem May suggested.
"What the... woah, you're like, an encyclopedia or something," May complimented, continuing to film him completing the problem with the camera. She was in complete shock. Conway smirked, fixing his glasses once more with confidence this time.
"Well, when you're in AP Calculus, this stuff gets ingrained in your head. Geometry, algebra, and trigonometry are a piece of cake for someone like me." May stood there, still completely out of it as she tuned Conway out and started to think of a plan.
Conway was a junior, yet he was in AP Calculus, so he had to be a genius (in May's eyes). It was the perfect opportunity to get Conway to help tutor Ash without Ash being none the wiser. She knew it would be difficult to keep up trying to tutor him by going to Drew all the time. Plus, she couldn't just ask Drew to help tutor Ash, that would defeat the whole purpose. It felt like a light bulb went off in her head.
"I just need to find a way to get Conway to agree," May thought, feeling as though Conway wouldn't be easy to sway.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask him. I can be very persuasive at times," May said to herself, thinking back to how she was able to persuade Ash to help her. But then again, not everyone was like Ash. She shrugged regardless, hoping to ask him after film club was over.
She decided to just keep practicing with the video camera, knowing she needed all the training she could get.
.
"May, are you done using the camera?" Serena asked, smiling politely. May grinned, nodding.
"Yeah, all yours! Only, I just need to find a way to save what I recorded. It will actually be very helpful!" May exclaimed, not letting this opportunity of having Conway explain that algebra concept so easily pass her by. She was sure it would definitely come in handy.
"I can help with that," Trip said, moving away from his desk for a moment to retrieve the camera and help her upload the video on the computer, so she could email it for herself.
"Don't you have a flash drive or something?" Trip asked, rolling his eyes at her incompetence. Seriously, who uses email like that anymore?
May looked flustered, retorting with a shaky, "I lose them too often," before going back to typing in her email address. She pouted when she realized the size of the file was too big to send.
"What good is email if they can't even send big files?" May crossed her arms, annoyed. Trip shook his head.
"Here, use this flashback for the time being. But I expect it back." May's eyes grew watery, completely taken back by his surprising generosity. She didn't think Trip liked her much with how sarcastic and I-don't-care personality he gives off.
"Wow! Thanks, Trip!" she said, happy that she finally had something to help.
"I expect it back asap, and I expect you not to lose it," he warned. May nodded eagerly, surprised with Trip yet again.
May then walked to Conway.
"Hey, Conway!" May greeted, before Conway turned to her and fixed his glasses.
"Yes?"
"Well, I was wondering, I have this friend that needs a lot of help in algebra 2, and-"
"Let me stop you right there," he interrupted. "I only accept cash payments for tutoring. I have a list of price ranges, if you want help. Sorry, my genius comes at a cost," Conway said, holding up his list of different rates depending on how much was paid upfront, how many hours was needed, and what class it was. Conway was no joke – he knew how to manage his time and get paid. May yelped, exceptionally sad by this fact.
"You gotta be kidding me!" May sulked, feeling down.
"Hey, gotta pay for new equipment somehow," Conway said, giving her a smirk. He shrugged.
"But, I don't get any money!" May exclaimed.
"Well, sorry. I mean, I'd help you, but yeah, doesn't come cheap." She sighed, wondering what she was going to do.
She was going to be stuck with Drew for all of eternity it looked like!
Plus, May knew Ash couldn't get everything with just her mediocre help. She frowned.
"There has to be something I can do to convince him," May whispered to herself.
"May!" a voice came from the other side of the room. Dawn walked in, waving at her friend.
"Oh, hey," May greeted, a soft smile forming.
"So this is the club you're in - the one you won't stop talking about?" Dawn asked, looking around. Dawn raised an eyebrow - didn't seem like much of a club.
"Yeah, let me introduce you! Over there is Trip, the vice president, that is Serena, a newbie like me, and that is Conway, the club president!" May introduced. Dawn smiled, before taking a step back when she looked at the gleam in Conway's glasses.
It kind of creeped her out the way he looked at her. A shiver crawled up her spine.
"Nice... to meet... all of you," Dawn said awkwardly, feeling Conway's eyes on her. She quickly turned away, knowing he was kind of a creep, especially now.
"Nice to meet you too!" May sighed, before she noticed Conway hiding his deep blush, not taking his eyes off of Dawn.
May looked between Conway and Dawn, not sure if she was reading the signs right.
It took her a moment to put two and two together.
"Oh, my goodness, it's like I've been given a miracle right in the palm of my hand!" May said, feeling like she should just get down on her knees and start praying then and there. She felt like she won the lottery.
"Ummmm, May? I'm going to wait outside for you, I'll see you later! Nice... um, meeting all of you..." Dawn said awkwardly before rushing out of the room as fast as she could, trying to rub away the goosebumps that arose.
Seriously, Conway could be such a creep at times.
When she was out of sight, Conway still held a blush, his mouth agape and his glasses out of place (nearly falling off even), yet he made no move to fix them as he continued to stare at the door Dawn walked out of.
"That's yourfriend?" Conway asked, completely stunned. May smirked knowingly.
"Yes she is, my BEST friend, actually," she stated proudly. Conway finally got out of his stupor to fix his glasses, his face still beet red.
"H-hey, you know, you should tell your friend to stop by more often... I mean, I was just thinking, she would be perfect to include for the yearbook," Conway tried to say. May raised an eyebrow.
"How about I introduce you for real..." May started. "At a price, of course! The price of tutoring lessons," May began, a small smirk on her face.
Conway fixed his glasses, coming out of his euphoric state and ready to negotiate.
"Just an introduction? No way. I'd only help with tutoring, besides money, are for dates," Conway said. "If I could go on a few dates with her, then I would tutor your friend the whole year if need be..." May's face fell. No way Dawn would go for that.
"What?"
"You heard me: only way."
"B-but!" May stammered, trying to figure out a way to get around this. She sighed.
"Okay, okay, what if I say I can most likely get you one date?"
"Five," he argued.
"One."
"Three."
"One."
"Two."
"One! And I pick the circumstances, as in location and how long," May reasoned. Conway thought for a moment, before figuring that anything with Dawn was actually better than nothing at all.
"Okay, fine, you have a deal. Only if you manage to pull this off, though," Conway said, a smile creeping up to his face. May jumped, her eyes glazed with optimism.
Her plan was going just perfectly! She may actually pull this off!
She smirked.
"Hook, line, and sinker!"
Her plan seemed to be working out just swimmingly.
Only one problem: she had to find a way to convince Dawn of this oh so "perfect" plan.
She bit her lip, hoping her friend would agree.
She gulped, knowing this might not work out so perfectly after all.
.
Dawn raised an eyebrow, wondering what May was doing.
"Um, May? Why are you in that club, by the way?"
"Because it's really cool!" May told her excitedly. "I'm learning a lot about camera work and stuff. It's really cool! I'm going to be like, a TV star, you wait and see!" May winked, and Dawn nodded, happy for her friend's passion.
Dawn stopped, feeling an odd aura, like someone was watching her.
It felt creepy.
Really creepy.
She turned and shivered, when she felt Conway's eyes on her, who was trying to hide his blush. He was by the door of the computer lab, watching longingly.
She could barely see it, but he mouthed a whispered, "goodbye."
Another shiver, for the hundredth time it felt like, ran up her spine.
Yeah, he was really creepy.
May's face light up, feeling this was her chance.
She had an evil idea formulating, excited for what was to come.
.
AN: There we go. I delivered on the next chapter hehe. Loooool, this is where all the insanity and chaos ensues for everyone (you all already got some of it in this chapter)! xD Please tell me what you think of this chapter, please! Would love feedback! ^_^
What is to come (because I'm super excited to write with how funny it is in my head): Chapter 7 – Chance; continuation to this, introduction to Barry, 60% more Paul, and more creepy Conway xD Someone asked for some Gary and Misty interaction so I'll add a little bit of that (and maybe some other crazy stuff haha).
