A/N: Sorry for a kind of slow update! I actually was supposed to update this on the 28th of May but then I decided to break this chapter into 3 parts, since it was too long for one chapter! Which called for a lot of changing and switching around…. Sorry but chapters after this will take quite a while since I have only 1 week to make a musical instrument and finish my HSIE assignment which are due on the same day! Sorry for any inconvenience !
DEDICATION: To Readeh2Rawk for being my 100th reviewer! What are the odds of that, since she already has I think… 5 dedications in my stories!!
Chapter 9: It's a Boy Thing
Drew woke up that fine morning and yawned. Prank week… those two words radiate such a good feeling thought Drew smirking. Drew then withdrew from his warm comforts and made his way over to the bathroom. On the way there, he met with is mother, Laura. "Drew dear, remember to call Brendan for that guy's day out thing… and remind him to bring over Kimberly… May once in a while needs to do some girl talk.. don't you think?" said Laura smiling that warm smile.
All of this came crashing down on Drew. A million thoughts raced through his head. What? When did this happen? Dam it! I wasn't thinking straight! I'm fine with a guy's day out, although prank week will be delayed till tomorrow… oh no! Kimberly and May will kill each other! Thought Drew, fully aware of Kimberly's intentions towards May.
"Yeah… sure" said Drew shakily as he continued on his trip to the bathroom. What do I do now? Thought Drew.

As Drew made his way down the grand staircase the heavenly aroma of food wafted to his nose. His stomach growled, pulling him faster towards the source of this delicious luxury. His eyes met May in the maid uniform. She turned her head slightly and smiled. Drew felt a slight tingle vibrate through his body. He turned his face away slightly, not wanting her to see that slight pink that suddenly appeared on his face.
Drew! You can't blush! The Drew never blushes! Drew mentally scolded himself. After a few seconds lingered by, the blush disappeared and Drew seated himself. His eyes met ….. spaghetti. This… poor, low costing, commoner styled food give off such a mouth-watering aroma? Impossible thought Drew. Drew gave May a disgusted look. May quickly glared at him.
"I knew that you would complain about it not being too luxurious and too commoner style and me being a hopeless cook!" said May in the tone when you recite something. "It's either you eat it, or you starve" said May simply. Drew wasn't use to this tone of voice and didn't like it. Rule 1# of the Drew handbook. The Drew never is bossed around or threatened.
"The almighty Drew is never bossed around, cook me something else" said Drew simply. May was fed up with this 'daily routine' of theirs. Drew comes down stairs. May gives him food. Drew complains about the usual 'commoner style', 'non luxurious', 'a cook with no talent chasing a pointless dream' and loads of arguing afterwards.
Drew then droned on and on how it simply didn't work that way. May grabbed the spoon, grabbed Drew's face and turned it in her direction and shoved the spoon into his mouth. May beamed when he actually swallowed it. May then noticed how close their faces were. May quickly turned away. "Excuse me" May muttered as she fled from the room.
May hit herself. "What were you thinking just grabbing him! You were just inches away from him!" said May to herself.
A/N: Italics is the voice of love and the normal writing is May's thoughts.
You should have kissed him said an arrogant voice.
Who are you? My conscious? If you are, why do you speak so unlike me? Questioned May.
I'm not exactly your conscious, more your voice of love… And I'm guessing you don't have a clue since you are v-e-r-y dense! I'm usually in the back of your mind and in the center of your heart…. I only start appearing when the special emotion is unlocked…. Or I'm also unlocked when you are currently in a love situation and you are experiencing problems.
You're not very nice are you? Aren't you more supposed to speak more like me? You're very Drew-ish. Ummm… er…. I don't really understand your explanation of 'voice of love'. Don't use so much technical words, what do I look like, a doctor? What is the special emotion anyways?
In other words, you're just stupid! I'm different because you need a stronger minded person to help you go on the right track! Since you're just stupid! To simply put it, I only talk to you when you fall in love and I help give you advice!
Don't have to be so blunt… you're hurting my feelings!
Tch! You and your feelings, I mean grow up! If you're going to be like this for the rest of your life then I'm leaving! I just can't be bothered!
Geez! Alright, I'll act a slight bit more mature then!
Right then, Drew passed by smirking. May's eyes adjusted. Is that…. Tomato sauce on his lips… finally a flaw in Drew's so called 'perfection' thought May as a smirk escaped her lips. Drew's smirk grew wider. "I see that you just want to be like me now… I mean you even plagiarized my smirk! I know what you're thinking… I'm irresistible" said Drew flicking his hair.
"Yeah right" said May glaring. May then unconsciously flicked her hair. Drew gaped at her, which soon turned to a broad grin. "You even copied my trademark pose, I'm oh so honored" said Drew with heavy sarcasm. May then realized her actions and stared at the ground embarrassed.
"By the way you and Kimberly are going to have some girl time all by yourself today since Brendan and I are having boy time" said Drew as he walked away without another glance. It took a while to sink in.
I told you your stupid acts would one day get you into trouble!
Shut up! You're supposed to be kind and helpful but all you're doing is being another Drew x2!
And with that May completely shut out the voice. What will I do? Thought May as she bit her nails frightened. Will I make it after today? Or be eaten alive or maybe locked in a closet and never found? Thought May as wild ideas came flooding into her head.
Her thoughts disappeared as quickly as they came when May stared at that red spot on his cheek. It was so difficult to imagine Drew having a flaw…. Especially an eating flaw!
May couldn't help but stare. She knew her next actions were risky but she decided to take a chance. She moved closer to Drew, and put her hand on his cheek and rubbed away the spot. May was too engrossed to get the spot off to notice that Drew was burning up. Drew didn't like their proximity as it made him to the extreme of uncomfortable. He just wasn't use to these kinds of things.
Drew then saw his chance. It was an act on impulse. He began to lean in. May being her dense self didn't realize his intentions. Inner May, also known as the voice of love decided to shut up on this occasion, fully aware that things were going well.
May then suddenly moved back and darted off, not wanting to know what Drew would say after she wiped off his spot of tomato on his face. Drew sighed. Plan A failed thought Drew. Unbeknownst to May, Drew had set it all up. I mean, the Drew being a messy eater?
As May ran away, her inner voice was shrieking over and over.
You idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Simply, idiotic! You didn't realize the real intentions did you?
May was simply confused. What did she do wrong?

1 Hour Later
May was sitting in the grand ball room for Kimberly's arrival. She figiteded every few seconds and couldn't sit still. May began to play with the hem of her maid uniform. She had screamed at Drew and bothered him for the last hour to cancel the whole thing. Drew wouldn't even budge. Even with her puppy dog eyes at level 10, the maximum level.
Plus fake tears! This was the first time that it had backfired. Who knew why it didn't affect Drew? In the end, Drew promised her that if she didn't run away he would not be mean and say snide remarks for 3 days. 3 days of solid heaven.
Unknown to May, this was exceedingly generous for Drew as he had planned plans within plans of pranks install for May. Also unknown to May, her puppy dog eyes affected Drew by a lot. And I mean a lot!
She then heard the opening of the grand doors. May held her breath. She could see through the crack of the door of the ball room that Kimberly as per usual had that smile on her face. A smile that actually produced this glitter when smiled! She bounded up to Drew and leaped on him in a crushing bear hug. "Drewy Bear" said Kimberly cheerfully.
Drew smiled back. May practically crashed then. Drew… smile? It gave her a sickening feel at the pit of her stomach. He actually returned the hug as well. May felt…. Hurt ? She really couldn't look anymore. May held back the tears.
Look at what your idiotness did Einstein! This is bound to happen in the end… so here's a lesson to learn in life… to never fall in love…. Especially to someone out of your league or an idiot.
May didn't even bother to retort. May quickly wiped away the tears, they just weren't worth it. Was loving Drew and requited feelings really a pointless dream? Thought May sadly. May put on a smile, a forced smile. May then took a few deep breaths and walked out of the ball room and into the main room. She could feel Kimberly's penetrating glare, yet it was slightly different than usual. More judging than hateful.
"Well then, Brendan and I shall be back in the late afternoon have fun!" said Drew as he pushed a drooling Brendan out the door. Pretty much Brendan thought May looked too cute to be true. A heavy and uncomfortable silence filled the room. The silence was eerie and weighed down on both of them. May desired to speak, but didn't find the strength to find her voice.
Kimberly glanced at May. Boy, did she have so many tricks and pranks in stall for her!

It was now around midday, Brendan and Drew hadn't had this much fun in ages. There were no girls around either, so they didn't have to be dragged on major shopping trips, being asked where they 'looked good' or 'is this cute' they could just do guy things. I mean, it's a boy thing right? So far, they'd seen a movie, shot some hoops and horse back riding.
Now they were sitting in a bar drinking some apple cider since they were still not of age to drink anything containing alcohol. Brendan was still thinking it over. Should I really confide in Drew? Thought Brendan. In the end, Brendan decided to confide, since Drew was his best friend after all. "Drew…… I like, no love May… but I don't know how to express my feelings" said Brendan his eyes fixed on his apple cider. He just felt that he couldn't face Drew at the moment.
Drew froze. No way thought Drew. Drew didn't know what to think. How could he love her when his best friend loved her? It would crush Brendan, as strong as he seemed he was quite delicate and fragile on the inside. How would Drew feel living with the guilt of breaking his best friend's heart?
Now Drew had to come down to terms…. Should he take May…. Or give her up?

I was thinking of writing the continuation of
The boy's day out but I decided to continue on the next chapter!
I decided to use both Girl Talk and Should I let Go since I separated
