*Chapter 3: David's Friend… Martin's crush*
2 weeks passed by, and Mae and David became very close friends. Mae really liked David, and since her mom visited Monica almost everyday, they could see each other very frequently.
One day they were at the Williams' summer residence in the center of Haddonfield. They had a huge swimming pool, and while the grown-ups were chatting in the tables near the pool, Mae was swimming. David, Martin and Teddy were watching her.
"Mae's a great swimmer" Martin said "What do you think, David?"
"Yes, Martin. She's very good" he smiled.
Martin watched Mae as she swam. She was wearing a navy blue swimsuit, and was doing laps in the pool. "She's really pretty", he thought. Even when she was 2 years younger than him (she was 11 years old and he was 13), he liked her an awful lot. But he couldn't tell her because they never had the chance to be alone, her family or David were always with her, especially David… and he didn't like that…at all.
"But how can she like him? He's a mecha, he's not real" he thought, and then he felt a splash of water on his face.
"Hey, guys" Mae said from the pool "Wanna swim?"
"Sure! Come on, Teddy!" David said.
"I can't swim" Teddy said.
"Um…well, you can watch us…is that okay, Teddy?" he suggested, and the bear nodded.
David jumped into the water, and was going to reach Mae, but Martin stopped him.
"One sec" Martin said "I go first" he added, going into the water.
"Okay" David said and he swam close to Mae. Teddy was watching everything from his seat.
-------------------------------------------
Martin, Mae and David were swimming together. Mae was talking to David more than to Martin, and he didn't like that. So he decided to dare David. so Mae would pay him more attention.
"Wanna make a competition?" he proposed "If I win, she'll like me more" he thought.
"It sounds good" Mae said.
"Just David and me" Martin said, looking at David "Let's see if he chickens out…" he thought.
"Okay" David said.
"Ready…? GO!" Mae said, and they started swimming.
David was a good swimmer, but Martin tackled him, David stumbled in the water and Martin won (A/N: What a brat, isn't he?). They got out of the water and Martin talked to Mae.
"Well, it seems like I won" he said with a cocky smile, but Mae looked at him seriously.
"Yeah, IT SEEMED" she said, and left him alone to reach David (A/N: Way to go, Mae!). Martin stood there, frozen.
-------------------------------------------
"You're a great swimmer, David" she said, hugging David.
"But I lost" he said, sadly.
"It wasn't your fault" she comforted him "Martin did it, didn't he?"
"Yes"
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal" she said with a smile, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. David surprised a bit, and kissed her cheek too. She blushed and smiled (A/N: Aw…how sweet!).
-------------------------------------------
Martin was still in the border of the pool, thinking about what happened. He had just dared David, he had won him… and the girl didn't talk to him but to David?! In his opinion, it was too weird.
"What does she see in him? I know! I'll tell her the truth, and we'll see what she'll do…" he thought, with an evil smirk.

Author's Note: Okay… tell me what do you think… isn't Martin a bad boy (at least here)? And everything is because he's jealous of David, now that Mae likes him more… what will he tell her about David? Don't miss Chapter 4!
