Yeah, two chapters in one day. Amazing, right? Well, after this I'ma gonna work on my doujinshi. It'll be posted on DeviantArt. No gurantees when, though.

Brendan Alexander Birch *

She's dreaming about her mother again. That cruel woman doesn't deserve to be dreamt of. I looked at May's face. If it was a good dream she'd have a childish countenance and a peaceful slumber, but right now, her face is scrunched, her eyes have faint dark rings under, she's screaming and flailing. I should try to wake her, but I know it'll do no good.

"You sure flail a lot," I said when she woke; she hits hard, too. "Like a Magikarp."

"You sure don't feel embarrassed about being on a girl's bed while she sleeps." She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "Clueless like a Psyduck."

"I know," I grinned cheekily. She was definitely use to it like me. "Besides, we're putting aside the fact that I always do this, and we should get you some breakfast; I know you'll enjoy it more than that nightmare you just had."

I made her pancakes, her favorite.

"Thanks," she said.

I nodded and grabbed both our backpacks and held the door open for her indicating we were going to be late. We talked awhile before walking in our content silence.

We made it to class five minutes early. I knew May couldn't resist talking to me. She needs to go buy patience at the store of Life.

"And then he said that the Goldeen wasn't the right one!" We both broke into laughter, but hers stopped after she noticed the teacher. I was clutching my sides; I honestly couldn't have stopped if I wanted to.

"Class, this is-" The teacher was 'rudely' interrupted by me. I should have kept my mouth shut. "Brendan Birch, what is so funny? I'm introducing a new student right now. It seems quite rude of you to interrupt." See? I knew this would be regretted. "Oh! You are volunteering to be his guide around school for the next week, aren't you? Great, that's settled."

I moaned, but then I looked at May, "But Ms. Erika, it's only fair to have another soul join me," I stared her down. Revenge.

She shook her head forcefully to no avail as I continued, "May was quite responsible for my disruption; she can accompany me as well."

"Very well, just sit down. Mayliena, if you didn't hear correctly, you will also be a guide for Drew here. Now, if you didn't figure out yet, this boy's name is Drew Hayden. He will be joining us for homeroom; some of you will be joining him for other classes, others not so much. Please take a seat behind Brendan, Drew."

I saw her scowl at me, but she kept her mouth shut. Oh, crap, he's also sitting behind me. No more quick morning chats with May unless I want an eavesdropper listening in, too. I watched him as he painfully walked down the aisle with over thirty pairs of eyes ogle at the new kid as if he was a new Pokémon. He glanced at me; and then at May. I didn't like him already. He's not very good with first impressions.

I had wished that Arceus would hear me this once when I pleaded to it to not let the bell ring. I hope that sentence made sense, but he didn't hear me anyways. The bell sounded, too early for my taste. It was time to introduce ourselves to the new shrimp. We stood up and there was awkward silence. I love awkward silence, just not with Drew. May decided to be the social one and held out her hand.

"I'm May and this is Brendan."

New boy was quick on his feet. "I obviously know at least that much, June." And then he flicked his hair.

May stared at me, probably wanting to say, "This isn't going to work out smoothly, I hate his guts already."

I returned a gaze that said, "Then you'd better be quick for comebacks, we're stuck with him for awhile."

She obviously didn't appreciate that.

"Grasshead."

"Tomatoface."

"Piece o' celery,"

"April."

"Gah!"

She lost, or better yet, her patience lost. I grabbed her shoulders to calm her down.

Plastering a very apparent false smile, I said, "Come, Drew, Ms. Erika gave me a copy of your schedule, we all have Biology right now. Let's go."

He grunted at me. I concealed my eye rolling as we walked through the hall. Don't start with us, punk.

We walked into class and sat with our assigned lab partners. May was with Misty and I was with Gary. It wasn't much of a surprise that they'd put the two professors' sons together. Drew was at the front, clueless; serves the guy right.

Mr. Wattson finished writing on the whiteboard and turned around to see Drew.

"Oh, you need a partner, don't you," Mr. Wattson said more than questioned. "It's quite unfortunate actually, everyone already has a partner. Drew, who is your guide?"

Oh no. Mr. Wattson, both May and I beg of you… "There's actually two; May and Brendan."

"Ah, well then May, Brendan, which one of you would like to be Drew's partner?"

"He would!"

"She would!"

I glared at May, but she glared back. She blinked first. Ha! "Ha! May would most definitely want to be his partner."

Mr. Wattson looked at her expectantly. She sighed and shot an evil, defiant stare at me, but said, "Of course, Mr. Wattson."

"Misty, I do hope you are alright without a partner?" Mr. Wattson was glad it was May, I was, too. Misty was one of his best students, she would unquestionably have no difficulty with anything, unlike Gary.

And so with everything settled, we started off on another eventful science class. We also have a new project to match; lovely. I noticed May wasn't dreading being Drew's partner that much. Hmm, this displeases me just a bit. We've had too much attention starting this morning. No one ever gave May or I a second glance, now everyone is staring at us, but mostly at Drew for being with us. Not our choice.

The bell rings and only now do I realize that I've ignored Gary the entire period.

"Oh, sorry, dude," I said to him.

"No problem, Brendan, just make sure to pay attention next time or we really won't have anything done."

I saluted to him and walked over to May where she was waiting for me.

"Had a fun time with Drew?" I joked.

"Well, thanks to someone, I've realized that Drew isn't that bad, just very, very, very arrogant, and very, very, very annoying, and rude."

"Well, then," I laughed, "I'd better take some time off to get to know the guy."

"Shut it, let's just get to our next class, we don't share that with Drew."

We arrived early, again. So we started talking, again. Unlike last time, we didn't get caught.

Oh, and after this class? It's lunch. Drew's going to ruin that for us, too, eh?

I know that both these chapters are really short, but I might produce a reallly long chapter next time! Reviews?
