Here we are, I'm updating early because your authoress is extremely hyper and bored out her mind. Presenting… the even longer awaited Contestshipping chapter 5! Part II of the date: A Game of Cat and Mouse.
Me: Guess what song is stuck in my head? Here Without You by 3 Doors Down.
Drew: Who cares! Everyone has been waiting for this chapter for like a month, especially all my fan girls! They deserve the Drew!
May: They can have you; no one wants you over here.
Paul: Why am I on steroids?
Me: Wrong story Paul. You're on steroids in PokeHigh: Sins Result in Chaos.
Paul: Fine, I'll go comment over there then.
Dawn: I find a prophecy! Ha, I feel important.
Drew: The story please!
Misty: The only way you can have it is if you do the disclaimer.
Drew: SurferGurl14 doesn't on Pokémon.
Me: On we go! Chapter 5: A Game of Cat and Mouse. Some of it is in May's POV
May: I wonder who the mouse is….
Outside the carnival three guys stood watching four couples walk into the brightly lit lights.
"Hey look, it's Drew Hayden with the new girl May Maple," said one of the guys.
One of the other guys looked up with a glint in his eye.
(May's POV)
Drew smirked over at me, "Hey Red, I bet I can beat you at those games." He pointed over to where people were playing games and winning prizes.
Red, I was getting annoyed by that nickname. I'm also getting annoyed by him, but that's a whole other story.
"No way Drew," I said.
We both walked over one of the games. Looks like all you had to do was knock down some bottles with a baseball. Seemed simple enough but I wasn't really in the mood.
"How about this?"
Drew was looking at me.
"Nah, you can do it."
He smirked. He was just going to show off. Now would be a time where my mind-reading powers would have come in handy.
What was up with Drew? First he pisses me off, and then he acts like nothing happened and is all nice. And now we are on a date and he's showing off in front of me. Is this how he gets girls? It's really pathetic.
But for some reason that bothers me so much.
Acting like he hates me then caring for me.
Is he bi-polar? Multiple personalities? She could make a case for the latter.
I remembered what Dawn told me when I told her why I was so mad yesterday, "Sounds like he's getting to you."
I had sighed. "So how have you found anything to why we can't read their minds?"
Dawn's mouth turned to a grim frown, "No. I haven't figured out anything. But I promise that I won't rest until I do."
I smiled. That was Dawn. If she had a mission, she sought out to complete it.
Dawn was probably secretly investigating right now.
That was another thing that bothered her. They couldn't read their mind. That never happened to them before except Leaf.
Leaf told them her story last night. May felt so bad; it seemed like Leaf was dying on the inside. Either from heartbreak or love.
In three days, these boys have managed to turn their lives into utter chaos.
Clack!
She almost about Drew. He ended up hitting them on his first try.
"So May, which animal do you want?"
"Uhm," I looked at the stuffed animals till my eye caught a red animal, "The red snake."
The guy handed it to me and I put it on like a scarf.
Drew looked over at me, "That looks stupid."
Here's mean Drew again.
My anger was growing, "It looks better on me than it ever would on you."
Suddenly an idea clicked, I was going to turn this around.
"So Drew," I said flirtingly, "Why did you decide to go on a date with me?"
Drew was shocked, "Uhm, uhm, uhm…."
I smirked. "Face it Drew, you think I'm amazing."
He turned to me coldly, "No. You're nowhere near amazing."
"Really? Why are you being so mean all of a sudden?"
Drew suddenly looked smug.
He slipped a hand around my waist and pulled me closer. He brushed some hair away from my forehead.
"Forgive me, I don't mean to be so uninviting." His hot breath tickled my ear.
He then looked at me. "I'm not making you feel uncomfortable, am I May?"
I froze. He planned this. I wasn't going to let him win.
I grabbed his collar and pulled myself closer to him.
"I'm not uncomfortable at all, Drew darling."
He smirked, he leaned his lips closer to mine. I braced myself until I heard someone clearing their throat.
Drew let me go and we spun around to see…
"Brendan Birch," growled Drew, "What are you doing here?"
He shrugged non-chalantly, "Just walking around, until I saw the beautiful May. I was surprised to see her on a date with you Hayden."
"Well she is on a date with me. Problem?"
"Not with me, but May looked uncomfortable. I thought I would play prince charming and save her."
What as Brendan really doing here? I read his mind. 'Ha, Hayden's in a tight spot. I should just leave with May just to piss him off.'
I growled. That jerk! And I thought he was actually okay.
"Actually Brendan, I wasn't uncomfortable at all." I glanced over at his shocked face.
He looked straight at me, "I apologize for interrupting your date, May."
Then Misty should up with Ash. She winked. She had come to my rescue!
"Guys, I lost one of my earrings in the arcade. Could you help us find it?"
"Sure," I said quickly.
"Yeah," Drew said.
"I'll help," Brendan added.
Ash cleared his throat, "I think three of us should look downstairs and two upstairs."
Brendan took my hand, "May and I will search upstairs."
Drew and Ash both put an arm around Brendan's neck causing him to let go of my hand.
Drew smirked, "You're coming with me Birch."
Ash and Drew led Brendan away as Misty and I followed behind them.
Arcade (Upstairs):
Misty took her 'missing earring' out of her pocket. We grinned at each other.
"You're a lifesaver Mist."
"Tell me something I don't know."
Arcade (Downstairs/ Third Person POV):
Drew pushed Brendan as soon as the girls went upstairs.
Ash went upstairs to avoid the fight that was waiting to come.
"Chill out lover boy." Brendan growled to Drew.
"What's that supposed to mean, tough guy?"
"I'm telling you to lay off May, Hayden."
"Huh? Oh. Well it's not my fault that the girls can't resist Drew Hayden. I guess I could turn the charm down a little."
"Don't push me Hayden!"
"Or what will you do, Birch?"
Brendan threw a punch which Drew avoided.
They were yelling and throwing punches until Misty, Ash and May herself walked down.
Ash broke up the fight and Brendan left bitter.
Drew scoffed, "I don't know why he got so worked up all of a sudden."
Just then Dawn and Paul walked in to take some pictures and left to find Gary and Leaf.
Drew sighed, "Its midnight, lets meet the others and go home."
They all met at the front of the carnival. Leaf was frantic with worry that only Misty and May noticed.
"Something happened, tell you at home," Leaf whispered to them.
This had to be big.
At their house, they said their goodbyes.
Gary kissed Leaf's cheek, Paul kissed Dawn's lips and Ash kissed Misty's forehead.
Everyone left to go to their respective houses, leaving May with Drew.
May turned to leave, "Bye."
Drew grabbed her hand, swiftly pulling her back and kissing her lips. Then he released her hand and started to walk home.
May just stood there. That made her so angry but something was wrong with Leaf and that was more important than Drew Hayden's multiple personality disorder.
Drew smirked as he walked home, "I still won," he whispered as he saw May enter her house.
Misty sat down. "So what's wrong Leaf? Let's have it."
"I can't read minds anymore!"
May and Misty stared at her while Dawn sat there as if she was trying to remember something.
"Maybe that was it," Dawn said, talking to herself.
Leaf looked up, "What?"
Dawn walked over to a room and returned to their living room
She held and ancient looking book. She flipped through a couple of pages till she found a even more ancient looking piece of paper folded inside. It looked slightly burnt.
"Now I understand," Dawn began, "This is a prophecy and it's about us! And the guys they are talking about must be Ash, Paul, Gary and Drew."
May groaned, "Don't mention that name in this house."
Misty shushed May, "What do you mean, Dawn? Will this prophecy explain why Leaf's powers are gone?"
Dawn looked up and firmly nodded. She began reading the prophecy,
"Four maidens will travel to a ton that is dull,
There they find lads of whom their powers are null.
These men are special for a purpose you see,
For each miss will fall in love with one of said he's.
But hardships will fall on every trail,
Always true love will end to prevail.
Recognitions of love will the powers go gone,
It will all take place during the darkness before dawn."
Misty sat taking it all in, and Leaf looked extremely guilty. May was just confused, "What?"
Dawn sighed, "Okay, the four maidens are us. We came here and found boys whose minds we can't read. Those boys are Gary, Paul, Ash and,"
May glared at her.
"And…other. But the prophecy says that we will fall in love with them and when we do we will lose our powers just like Leaf."
Misty put an arm around Leaf, "Did you fall in love with Gary?"
Leaf sighed, "I've been in love with him, and it just took me this long to realize it."
Dawn finished, "And she lost her powers at around midnight, which in this case, is the darkness before dawn."
May sighed, "Whoa."
Misty gave Dawn a sad smile, "So it looks like we are all going to lose our powers in the end."
Dawn looked up, "I guess so, and love must be more powerful than mind-reading. So we must choose, love or mind-reading and we will fall in love eventually."
Misty shook her head, "I don't think Ash is one of the guys though. I think the reason we can't read his mind is because it's constantly blank."
Leaf laughed, "You give him less credit then he deserves."
May looked determined, "Well I'm not going to fall in love and I'm keeping my power."
Leaf just stared at her, "You are going to fight a prophecy?"
May smiled. "Yeah, and who knows. I just might win."
Misty sighed, "Well I'm not going to fight it. I'm going to give Ash a chance."
Dawn smiled, "I won't do either. I'm going to try and find a way around it until I meaningfully fall in love."
Leaf hugged Dawn, "Well said."
Misty yawned, "Well let's crash. We have school tomorrow."
May smirked. 'Fighting the prophecy and keeping her powers was going to be a piece of cake. There was no way she would ever fall in love with Drew Hayden.'
I hope May realizes sometime soon that she is really fighting me. Who was with Brendan at the beginning of the chapter? What was his real reason for coming to the carnival? What will Leaf do now that she is powerless? And what is Dawn thinking about getting around?
So that's chapter 5. Sorry it was so short. I'll make it up by giving chapter sneak peeks!
