"So," Drew said as they stood at the counter. "Avengers or—"

"Avengers! That's it! Go!" May said, laughing. She playfully pushed Drew closer to the booth, feeling excited.

He chuckled at her behavior. "Alright, alright don't be so pushy!" he turned back to the lady, "two tickets to The Avengers, please."

"I'll get us some popcorn." May said, before leaving Drew's side.

"You're a little whipped, aren't you?" The lady teased, as the tickets printed.

"Oh, she's not my girlfriend. She's my best friend." he corrected, with a small blush on his cheeks.

"Not for long I hope." she said, giving Drew the tickets and his change, "you two make a cupte couple."

Drew scoffed "Trust me, you and me both." he said with a slight smirk on his flushed face.

After the movie, they went out to a small bistro nearby to have some dinner, it was so nice out, that they decided to eat outside. After ordering their desired food, they started talking, mostly reminiscing about old times in high school.

"No you didn't!" May said with a laugh, "you so didn't!"

"I did too Maple! I was the one who threatened them to back off Simon and they did!" Drew swore. Simon was their high school resident geek who was not only the youngest in their class, but also the certified mama's boy.

"Grass-head, no offense, but you were a stick in high school" she said, with a tiny giggle. "if anyone would have even been intimidated, it would be a stick itself…and maybe Simon."

"Fine, if you don't want to believe me…" he leaned back in his chair with a smug look.

May took a sip of her iced tea before looking back up at him. "You know what I still can't believe?"

"What?" he asked her with a grin on his face.

"That I actually passed Chemistry in my junior year. I honestly thought I failed, because I don't remember ever getting a good grade in anything in that class. But surprisingly I got a D."

Drew's face fell, like he knew something that May didn't. "Maybe Mr. Smith wasn't as bad as we thought."

"Yeah, I know he's a good guy, but I never thought he was THAT nice." She then noticed Drew's face, and added "What is it?"

Drew shook his head innocently, "Nothing."

She pointed her finger at him, "You know something!" she insisted. "What is it? Tell me Drew!"

Drew sighed, giving in. "You were supposed to get an F, but I talked Mr. Smith out of it." he said, rubbing the back of his neck embarrassed.

She furrowed her eyebrows at him, "talked him out of it?" she echoed, not believing what she was hearing.

"Okay, fine. I worked for it." he admitted, sighing softly.

"What?" she asked, raising her eyebrows in astonishment.

"Well, I did try to talk to him about it: telling him that you were a good student and you were trying your best. But he wouldn't say yes. So, I told him I would do some extra credit for it, for you—you." he stuttered a bit, and then cleared his throat "I was his servant for a week."

"Why the hell did you do that?" she asked curiously, she didn't know if she was supposed to be offended or touched.

"Because I knew you were having a hard time taking in your grandfather's death and I didn't want a failing grade to add to that." He said shyly, averting his eyes away from hers.

May's face fell, not expecting that answer. She stared at him with a look she has never given him before.

He finally looked up at her, and added nervously "Are you mad? Please don't be mad…"

"No… I'm—I'm actually touched." She admitted, smiling softly at him. "Thank you that was very sweet of you." her face changed suddenly.

"BUT it's still demeaning. You owe me!" she demanded.

He glared at her playfully, "For what?! I was a man's foot stool and I owe YOU!?" he scoffed in disbelief.

"Yep." She nodded her head. "Because you made me actually believe I was smart enough to pass Chemistry!" she whined, and Drew laughed at her denseness.

"Alright." He said playfully, smirking at her. "So, I owe you. What do you want me to do?"

"Dairy Queen after dinner!" She grinned wickedly.

He rolled his eyes, "If that's what it takes to win your heart back, then fine." he said while chuckling.

May giggled at his expression.

After they bought their ice cream from Dairy Queen, they went for a walk in the park. There was barely anyone there, since it was 10:30 at night.

"So, have I paid my dues?" Drew asked, breaking the silence.

May savored the scoop of vanilla ice cream on her red spoon, "I'll be the judge of that."

"So, I haven't?" he pouted at her playfully.

"Maybe…" she grinned, winking at him. She then walked down a small hill and faced the lake in the park. It glistened in the moonlight. "Hayden! Get over here!" she called him over.

Drew arrived beside her, eating his own ice cream.

"The lake at night is beautiful…" she whispered softly, looking around in awe.

"Yeah, it is." Drew said, agreeing but instead of looking at the lake, he was staring at her under the moonlight.

"So, I'm gonna ruin it for you!" she rubbed a spoonful of ice cream on Drew's cheek before running away, laughing up a storm. Breaking the silence of the quiet night.

"Hey!" Drew wiped off the frozen dessert from his cheek and chased after May, "that was very unnecessary!" he complained, shouting after her.

"You wanted to pay your dues, didn't you!" she shouted out, laughing. She continued to run. She took her spoon, scooped some more of her ice cream and shot it at Drew. It now landed on his chest.

"Hey, now that's just childish play, Maple! You're asking for a war!" he took a scoop from his own cup and aimed it at her. It landed in her hair and she squealed loudly.

They went on with the game, shooting ice cream at each other, until they were all out. They were sticky and sweat and reeked of vanilla. They were seated down on the grass, uncaring of the dew seeping through their clothes. It was almost midnight.

"I missed this." May whispered.

Drew looked at her, wanting so bad to just be able to kiss her, "What did you miss?" he whispered back.

"Us, you and me. No worries in the world, just us two having fun." She fiddled with her fingers, suddenly feeling shy. "I just miss us messing around like kids do…"

"Well, we could still be kids." he laughed, throwing an arm around her shoulders comfortably.

She leaned into him, like it was the normal thing to do. "Yeah, at this age? We're not carefree teenagers anymore." She laughed dryly.

"Why can't we just be carefree? We're not THAT old, May." he said, nudging her playfully.

May shrugged it off.

"And for the record" Drew added. "I missed us too."

May leaned her head onto Drew's shoulder. "Then promise me something…"

"What?" he asked looking down at her.

She glanced up at him with glassy eyes, "Promise me that you'll never leave me again."

'I would never leave you, ever' he thought. "I promise." he said, kissing the top of her head.
