CHAPTER 2.

MAY'S POV.

"What is wrong with you?" Ginger growled.

"Ginger, I don't have to feel intimidated by you anymore, they're sort of my friends now." I explained.

"Friends? Friends? No, I'm your friend! They're the enemies."

"I dont know."

"Listen May, if you want to survive Gilroy, you better-"

"Hey mini munch." Zeke appeared in front of her bedroom door.

"Beat it pitt sniffer."

"Calm down, I just came by to bring May a little something." he handed me a basket full of sweets.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Okay...now that you did...beat it!" she barked.

"Whatever you say, Gings. May, see you at Don's tonight?"

I nodded as he left. I looked at the basket and grabbed a piece of chocolate.

"This isn't going to work May, either you're my friend, or his." Ginger explained.

"Why not both?" I asked. That was my mistake.

-As I stood outside Ginger's door, I realized something. One, she's right. I can't hang out with both of them, and two, I really need to stop eating chocolate.

I put the bar down and left outside to knock on the garage.

"Hey, May!" Luther opened the door.

"Nice shirt." I pointed.

"Thanks, do you wanna wear it?" he took it out as I came inside.

"Luth, put your shirt back." Zeke sighed.

"Ginger kicked me out." I explained, sitting down on his bed next to him.

"Yeah, she's probably gonna prank you too now."

"That sucks..." I grabbed a piece of jerky from the basket.

"You know she hates us. Right?" Luther sat too close to me.

"Yeah, I had an idea." I nodded.

"Luth, you're too close." Zeke backed him up.

"What are you talking about? You're too close!" Luther snapped.

"No, I'm not. Okay? She sat next to me."

"Yeah? Well I sat next to her."

"So what, that doesn't prove anything."

"And what point did you proved?"

"That I'm not the one getting too close!"

"Guys!" I yelled. They both stopped and looked at me. "I think it's best that I'll go." I stood up and headed to the door.

"May, wait." they both stopped me.

"Take care. And, see you at Don's tonight, Zeke." I smiled and closed their door.

-LUTHER'S POV.

"See you at Don's tonight?" I looked at Zeke.

"Yeah, I sort of asked her out. No biggie. Just to tell her about Gilroy."

"Sort of asked her out? Zeke, you know I like her, right?"

"Luth, that's impossible, you just met her."

"Yeah, well, you just met her too and you're already asking her out."

"It's different."

"How?" I crossed my arms. He stood quiet for a moment.

"You can't like her, Luth." he finally said.

"You can't tell me who to not like."

"I mean, you can't like her, because I like her."

I gasped.

-MAY'S POV.

"Hey sweetie." my mom pinched my cheeks as I came in the house.

"Ready to unpack?" my dad asked. "What's that?" he looked at the basket.

"Oh, it's a little welcome gift from Zeke." I explained.

"Zeke?" my mom stopped unpacking for a moment.

"Who's he? Is he your boyfriend?" dad asked.

"No! Dad, we just met. He's just a friend, I promise." and with that, they both continued to unpack.

"Um, I'll be back. I'm gonna go to Don's, need anything?" I grabbed some money from my purse.

"Don's? Whats that?" my parents looked confused.

"It's a donut shop...right across our street...Do you know anything about this place?" I smirked.

They both looked at eachother and shrugged.

"I'll be back." I nodded and left.

-"Hi May. What will it be?" Don asked.

"How do you know my name?" I asked a little bit surprised.

"Kojo is putting up flyers for everyone to see." he showed me a piece of paper that read "I LOVE YOU!" and a picture of my face. "I didn't know you we're dating Kojo."

I gasped a little, and turned around to face Kojo.

"Hey sugar, I see you read my letter." he smiled and did that weird thing again. "WATCHA!"

"Yeah, I think everybody read it..." I moved him aside.

"Our love can't hide any longer, June."

"My name is May."

"Whatever, July. It doesn't matter, I still love you." he hugged me.

"Kojo, yeah, I can't date you." I pushed him away.

"Why not? What's keeping you away from all this?" he winked.

Just then, Luther appeared and sat down.

"Because, I'm already in love...with Luther!" I went to hug him.

"Huh?" Luther looked surprised.

"Luther?" Kojo gasped dramaticlly. "Well, I never this could happen but, I'm jealous of you, foolio. Take care of her...and remember August, I'll always be here." he ripped his own flyers and left.

"My name is May..." I sighed and let go of Luther.

"What just happened?" he asked.

"I don't know...I'm sorry I dragged you into this, I just needed to-"

"Do you like me?" he suddenly asked.

I looked at him, do I?

"I...I don't think so. I mean, I do, I do like you." I tried explaining.

"I like you too, May." he smiled.

I blushed, Luther's too cute and sweet for me to break his heart. It's best if I ignore it.

"Thanks." I nodded and decided to leave.

"Wait...you were gonna order something?" he asked.

"I was, but then Kojo showed up..."

"Oh, well, what do you want? It's on me." he smiled.

"No, it's okay."

"C'mon, Zeke gets to have a date and I can't get the honor of buying you something?"

"How do you know about Zeke?" I sat down next to him.

"We, sort of fought about it."

"Fought? Over me?" I blushed.

"Well, I just got mad because he told me I couldn't like you."

"Why would he say that?"

"He likes you too."

I froze. "Oh..."

"Don, can you put two pickle smoothies on my name?" he ordered.

Pickle smoothies?

"Well, did Zeke said anything else?" I asked.

"Not really." he looked down at the counter. I could tell he was feeling uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry I'll stop talking about this." I grabbed his hand.

He looked up and smiled as Don put two smoothies in front of us.

"Thanks." I took a sip, forgetting what the smoothie flavor was. It tasted amazing.

"Do you like it?" Luther asked.

"It's good...It's really good...Thanks. I owe you." I smirked.

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do."

"Can I walk you home? It'll be like you repaying me."

I blushed again and nodded.

-"I can't understand why Kojo is all over me." I said.

"I can." Luther smiled and nudged me a little. "It's a guy thing."

"Really? Tell me more." I laughed.

"I'm afraid I can't."

"Then I won't tell you girl things." I nudged him.

"I don't think I wan't to know those things anyways."

"Aren't you funny?" I smirked as we stopped in front of my new home. "I live here."

"Seriously? Wow, are you like, rich or something? These houses are huge and expensive."

"My dad owns a company in New York." I explained.

"That's awesome."

I nodded a little and held his hand. "Thanks for walking me home. I feel alot safer." I admitted.

"Thanks for letting me walk you." he smiled.

"Hey, I gotta tell you something, come here." I made him bend down a little.

I kissed his cheek and whispered "Thanks" to his ear.

"Have fun at Don's tonight, okay?" he smirked, then left.

I watched him skate away as someone opened the garage door.

"Who was that, May?"
