AN: I'm really sorry that this chapter is just...terrible. I've been so sick lately, it's really hard to concentrate. But I did make a promise to myself to have chapter two written by the end of the week. If there are any errors or whatever you catch, let me know and I'll fix 'em up right away.
Life with Drew--Chapter 2
It was a Monday morning as May cheerfully skipped into the kitchen getting out a bowl and a box of her favorite cereal, Coco Puffs. Walking toward the fridge with the bowl of cereal in her hand, she went to get the carton of milk out. Reaching for the handle of the fridge, Drew jumped in front of her and grabbed the milk himself.
"There's a thing called personal space, sis."
Her annoyed expression quickly changed to a disgusted frown as Drew began chugging down the milk from the carton.
"Ew, Drew! Why don't you be less of a caveman and use a glass, I need to use that milk for my cereal." Though, now May didn't think she wanted it, knowing her step brothers lips have tainted the delicious substance.
Still drinking from the carton, he looked at her, and then at the cereal in her hand. He leaned over May's bowl with milk puffing up his cheeks, spitting it out into the bowl.
"Happy?"
May swallowed the puke the came up from her throat. "That's not what I meant!"
While the two bickered, Drew's little sister, Leah walked into the room. She stood in front of them, watching Drew wave his hands around at May like some crazy new yorker who was stuck in traffic. Leah jumped for the carton of milk, snatching it from Drew's grip, which made the quarreling duo stop.
"Thanks for spreading the wealth, bro." She rolled her eyes shaking the almost empty carton before putting it against her lips and drinking what was left. May couldn't believe it, to think a female would drink out of a carton, let alone one that Drew drank out of.
Leah looked up at May, feeling her gaze on her. She laughed nervously, "Sorry May, but I thought you were done with the milk." She pointed at her cereal bowl before walking out of the kitchen.
Drew snickered, patting her little sisters head boyishly, following her out of the kitchen. "That she does Lee, that she does."
May opened her mouth to yell at Drew, but stopped seeing him disappear out of sight. Sighing, she looked at her cereal bowl gagging a bit before placing it in the sink. 'I wonder what else these unsanitary people touched with their lips...' She shivered, feeling goosebumps grow on her arms. May was a total and complete germaphobe, and while living in this house, learning something new and disgusting from the Ontario's everyday, made her feel very unclean.
"I'll just grab something in school..."
"May!" Max, her brother called out from the doorway leading outside. "You better hurry up, because Drew is about to drive off without you...again!"
"That..UGH!" She would scorn him later, racing out of the kitchen she almost ran into her mother, who had her backpack in her hand. Caroline knew too well of Drew's...daily habits. "Hi mom, bye mom!"
"Take care sweetie!" Caroline waved, watching May bolt out the door, hoping that this time Drew wouldn't drive off without her.
Drew saw May through his rear view mirrors running towards the car, he smirked, pushing the gas petal. "Better run faster May..."
Leah and Max sat in the backseat, glaring at Drew expectantly. "Drew...don't."
Drew's eyes shifted to his step brother, "Do what?" His voice was so innocent sounding, so fake. Max and Leah sighed in unison. "He would."
May felt relief seeing that Drew might actually be waiting for her for once, and not drive off. She walked over to the red jeep wrangler, panting. Reaching for the door handle of the passengers side, Drew stepped on the gas, speeding away from her.
May stomped her foot, throwing her backpack beside her. Even from a distance, she could still hear Drew's mocking laughter. "I knew it was too good to be true!"
"DREW!" Both the younger step siblings shouted. "You do this everyday, you know that school is five miles from here!"
Drew rolled his eyes, "Give me a break, you're lucky I was nice enough to not leave you two behind."
"I think otherwise.." Max muttered, pushing his glasses up. Leah giggled, nudging Max playfully.

Homeroom's bell finally rang, motioning the junior students to take their seats. Drew, who was crowded by his usual group of fan girls parted ways with them to take his seat in the back of the classroom. While the students were situating themselves, Drew took a glance where May was usually seated in the front row. Of course, the seat was empty. Smirking, his eyes moved to the clock, it read 8:05 a.m.
"My oh my, another tardy from little miss May Maple."
The homeroom teacher, Mr. Cowell stood in front of the class taking attendance. Looking at May's desk expectantly, he shook his head knowing that May Maple was yet again, late for his class. "Class, I advise you to not follow Maple's influence."
Drew and the rest of the class snickered knowingly.
He looked up at the clock again, "Three...two..."
The door swung opened, revealing a worn out and sweaty May. Catching her breath, she looked up at her teacher who had his arms crossed and eyebrows arched; it was very clear to May that she wasn't getting away with her tardiness this time.
"Mr. Cowell, I--"
"May, do you realize this is your fifth tardy in a row?" His voice was impatient, which only made her more nervous. Pausing, her eyes quickly searched for those dreading emerald green eyes. She found that they were looking right at her the whole time, she felt her left eye twitch, seeing that he was laughing at her.
"Mr. Cowell, it was Drew's--"
"No more excuses May," Mr. Cowell's barked, making May shut her mouth quickly. "Starting tomorrow, you'll be making up your tardies with me after school for the rest of the week."
May paled. She never had a detention in her whole entire seventeen year life, how could Mr. Cowell be so unreasonable? Besides, she never gets to explain herself, it was all Drew's fault! "B-but..."
"Sit."
"...Yes sir." Sitting down in her seat quietly and quickly, feeling all eyes on her. She began digging into her book bag to hide the blush creeping up on her cheeks. Looking behind her for a moment, she didn't hesitate to give few a venomous glare. He grinned, waving to her.
"Jerk.." She hissed under her breath.
"What was that May?" Mr. Cowell's livid voice rung in her ears, making her jump.
"Eh...nothing sir."
"Care to turn around then?" May felt herself sink even lower in her seat while the class continued to snicker.

"...and to top it off he got me detention with Mr. Cowell for the week!" May recapped her whole morning to her best and only friend in La Rousse, Dawn Ambsterdam.
"Wow," Dawn, the blue-haired teen exclaimed in awe. "Spitting in your cereal, making you walk to school, and getting you detention all within a two hour period!"
Leaning against the lockers, May groaned, reliving the entire morning again in her head. "You don't have to repeat me."
Dawn giggled, acting like she didn't hear her. "And the day isn't even close to over!"
May's eyes narrowed, "Dawn..."
"I wish Drew would pay that much attention to me!"
"Dawn..."
"He's just so cute with his hair, eyes, and that pouty frown of his! I wish I could just..."
May slapped her hand over Dawns mouth. "Dawn. Way too much information..."
"Sorry May, you know how crazy I can get with your brother. Heh."
"Step brother." May rolled her eyes, very well aware of Dawn's obsession. Before she moved to La Rousse City, she learned that Dawn has been crushing on Drew since freshman year. It's pretty weird to crush on someone that has never really acknowledged their presence though, which is a good thing in May's case. She did not want her step brother to go out with her friend, who knows what sort of trouble he'd get her into.
"Let's head to class now May, we don't want you to receive another detention today."
"How considerate of you."
"Well, not really, I just know that Drew comes in our direction, he he!" May sweatdropped.
'Figures..'

"So you're coming over Saturday?" Drew looked over to his long time friend, Brendan Birch.
"Duh dude, I haven't missed a Saturday for the last five years now, have I?"
"If you miss this Saturday, Birch, our relationship is so totally over," Drew scoffed. "You make it sound so gay man, shut it."
"How about you, you're the one that's always wanting me to come to your house," Brendan smirked. "Dude, you'd probably cry a river or somethin' if I didn't come over."
Drew laughed sarcasticly, "You wish--" Drew's eyes instantly caught step sister walking down the stairway, towards him and Brendan. She was talking above the normal volume, complaining about something very uninteresting in Drew's view.
Brendan turned around to see what Drew was looking at, seeing his step sister, "You're not planning to make her trip down the stairs somehow, are ya dude?"
"Psh," Drew waved his hand in a careless manner, looking away. "She can do that all on her own, she's such a klutz."
Birch was one of the very few that knew May Maple was his new step sister, and not very proud of it either, quite obviously. Brenden eyed May from head to toe, smiling slightly as his eyes met with hers.
May's face flushed furiously, suddenly feeling very self conscious of herself. Unaware of her footing, she missed a step below her, falling straight forward...
On top of Brendan.
"...told you she can do it on her own." Drew kicked Brendan's arm lightly, to see if he was still alive, or at least conscious.
