Why Can't I

"We now have the results…." The announcer said making everyone in the room quiet down "the final eight that will be participating in the next part of the contest are…."
The photos of the eight people were as follows: Zoey, Misty, Dawn, Drew, a girl named Holly, a boy named Ian, Paul, and May.
"Alright you guys we did it!" Misty yelled out excitedly.
"Yeah we all did" Dawn replied as she glanced at May who was smiling brightly.
"Awesome we all made it!" May said and without realizing what she was doing she turned and hugged Paul tightly.
Dawn yelled out in surprise and Drew just stood where he was at rooted to the spot as he glared angrily at Paul who was hugging May back blushing.
"Makes me wonder who is going up against who?" Zoey asked making everyone look back at the screen showing their pictures.
Back on the screen the pictures were flipped and scrambled around and as soon as they flipped over, everyone was in shock.
Drew flicked his hair smirking.
'Looks like I get to go up against Paul. He's going to be sorry he ever messed with me' Drew thought to himself as he and Paul looked at each other with hate in their eyes.
'Perfect I couldn't ask for anyone better!' Dawn said as she looked at May.
"Looks like im up against Ian and you're up against Holly, Zoey" Misty said ignoring the looks that were being thrown around at other people behind her.
"Yep looks that way but even though im participating I can't wait to see how the other battles go" Zoey said as she looked at the boys and Dawn.
Misty looked at them and sighed.
"Well it looks like I'm up first anyway. Wish me luck you guys!" Zoey said as she started to make her way to the stage.
"Good luck Zoey!" the girls replied at once.
Both Misty and May decided to sit down and watch Zoey's battle.
"It's clear who's going to win. As long as I've known her she's been the type to really give you a fight and not back down easily" Dawn said as she took a seat on the other side of Misty.
May nodded.
"I don't expect anything less from her. She knows what she's doing." May said.
"How do you know May?" Misty asked.
"I've seen her battle before" May replied as she watched as both coordinators let out their Pokemon.
After awhile May got up and said that she would be back because she needed a drink of water. As she went to look for the water fountain she noticed that Paul was nowhere to be seen. She sighed as she quickly found the water fountain and took a drink from it. When she was done she turned and accidentally bumped into Paul.
"Oh Paul I didn't see you there!" May blushed "what are you doing over here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for you battle?"
"I just….needed to talk a walk that's all" Paul told her a little hesitantly.
"Oh I see…" May looked at him "Well, why don't you come see Zoey's battle with me? We can sit somewhere else" she quickly added remembering that she was sitting next to her friends.
"Thanks" Paul smiled at her "Um May? Do you….." he hesitated.
"Do I what Paul?" May asked.
"Uh….nothing never mind"
"Oh ok"
'You idiot if you don't tell her you like her that dude with the green hair will!' Paul yelled at himself in his mind as he saw that she was turning to head back.
"Come on Paul lets…."
Paul grabbed May's arm and whirled her around, pulling her into his arms, and quickly gave her a kiss. May's eyes grew wide, but she slowly closed them as she melted into his arms and was kissing him back refusing to stop.
"What the…?!"
Paul and May broke their kiss as they turned and saw that both Drew and Dawn were standing there. Anger was flying in both their eyes and just as they were getting closer to them, Misty showed up.
"Guys it's over Zoey won the match!" she said excitedly as she grabbed both Paul's and May's arms dragging them both back to where they were at leaving Drew and Dawn standing there as anger started growing more inside them.
'He is dead I'm going to make him wish that he was never born!' Drew growled as he shook with rage.
Dawn went back also shaking with anger.
