"So this is high school?" I said. This is the place where people in this word go to when they reach the certain age- like becoming a pokemon trainer. But this isn't anything like it. I highly doubt you learn anything about Pokemon here. All people seemed to do was just….stupid. Some girls and boys kept looking at their mirror ever single second. I also caught a few shorting their skirts. Some boys would skateboard down the hall, but luckily, some people- the NORMAL like ones just talked to friends.
I looked at my handbook again. Locker 101, one of the biggest locker in the school. While I was reading I didn't see where I was going and bumped into a purple haired girl. Crashing into the lockers, I tried to apologize.
"I'm sorry miss, my name's Drew, what's yours?" I asked. The girl had no answer, her eyes shot me the "what the hell" look I've gotten a few times. Confused, I was about to ask why and explain more; but then I noticed why she had the mad face.
"I'm a boy dumbass," he said picking up his books angrily. "And my name is Paul." he added in a harsh tone. That guy Paul seemed just dark…different then most of the kids in the hall socializing with friends. His eyes were cross-looking, and his shirt was no exception as it said Fuck life.
What fuck even mean? I thought quietly. I started putting all these useless books in the blue locker. When I reached in to put the last one in, I noticed a blue haired girl observing and watching my every move.
"Who are you?" I asked her. She blushed and ran off. Her midnight blue hair swinging in the breeze. It smelled like lavender, but I still think May is prettier, even though we are not dating and just rivals and friends. I could've sworn she said Dawn or something close to that. Oh yeah; she was one of the people who kept looking at the mirror and adjusting her skirt to make it shorter.
I flipped my hair confidently, "Now where is May Maple." I don't want to kill May..right now. Or, in this crazy world, sometimes she gets frustrating but I won't kill her…yet. If I could fake it, that would be great.
It's NOT that I want to see May because I love her its because she is probably the only one in this messed up world. And, to get out, I think "killing" her may be something..but I won't kill her. I'd just let her in on my plan.
"Hey are you Drew Hayden?" asked a man's voice behind me. Turning around, I saw a fat man with earrings in a few of his ears and a cap turned backwards on his head. His breath had a sent of cupcakes in them.
"Of coarse I am idiot," I said smirking, "who do you think I am? Ash Ketchum!" I replied sarcastically. Ash was the name of the guy May traveled with. Such a lucky guy to travel with her and see her everyday, watch her sleep and- what am I saying?
"Say it to yourself Drew, May is a rival and friend only, May is a rival and friend only, May is a rival and friend only." I said quietly to myself. Some idiot high school student crashed into the fat man with a grey garbage can on his head. After the last bit of paper fell out, I recognized who it was. Ash!
"Did you say my name?" he asked energetically. He seemed more hyper then usual. Maybe he's stuck in this crazy world too?
"No way Ketchum, I've seen you play last year idiot. Try basketball kid, especially after you hit the wrong ball. Gary may join in, he knows what a football actually is! You idiot." said the fat man. He's in this crazy world, but he isn't normal? But then again, I never killed anyone yet that guy said I have and I'm an assassin. I'll ask him later, he's probably freaking out about it on the inside.
"The guy lived coach!" he said defensively, "he may not be able to have a baby but come on!" He's stuck, but he isn't normal.
"That's enough Ash," said the fat guy, "Now Drew, these records show your achievements in life. Would you like to see our practice later today?" he said.
"May achievements in life?" I said. In this world, there are no Pokemon, how would he know my achievements in life? Unless in this world they gave me different records for a completely different life.
"It's my not may," said an elderly lady passing through the halls. I said may not my? This language confuses me every day.
"She keeps intruding my thoughts, I just want to see her so bad." I whined. The coach and Ash looked at each other snickering.
"The cheerleaders won't like that bud." said the fat guy. He patted my shoulder, "see you later today Hayden!" he said then walked away.
"Neither would any girl Hayden, you know, since you may need to break up with her and since love means more to you….I should take your place." said Ash offering.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR BRAIN!" I shouted at him. He didn't pay any attention and grabbed my leg, hanging on it.
"Please please, this is my dream! I have nothing in life, Gary get's all the girls!" he said begging me.
"This is pathetic, did you even hear a single thing I said?" Ash shook his head while continuing his many rants with the word please. Suddenly, an idea stuck me.
"Hey, look dude," I punched his shoulder, he touched it as if I had hurt him; "find me my girlfriend named May Maple and you can come along with me today." I said. He smiled, and let go of my leg.
"Thank you so much Hayden!" he said. I flipped my hair, smart guy you are Drew..and handsome too.
"And I've seen her, I'll get her right now! Stay right their!" he yelled. Before he went off he planted a quick, wet, kiss on my cheek. What is wrong with that kid?
I grabbed my books and waited for Ash patiently, he came back after five minutes or so. But, their was no May close by.
"Where is she? I asked him." He nervously laughed, he didn't find her did he?
"Theirs many girls in the school with the name….you go and look through and see which is the one you're looking for." he said nervously. A sweat drop crossed his face.
"Okay, how much?" I asked. He laughed nervously, "Listen, if she isn't here you aren't coming with me to watch their first practice Ash!" I demanded.
"Only thirty girls claimed to be April Pinewood he said," his voice was shaky and full of fear.
"What!" I said. I asked for May Maple not April Pinewood, and I said it clear and crisp. I can understand him mistaking it for a word that rhymes with May or Maple; but April Pinewood? That is way off!
"It's May Maple! Not April Pinewood!" I said. The blue haired girl from recently walked up to me, she nervously put her hand up and did a small, slow wave.
"Um hi? I replied." I walked off, I saw the clock and knew it was almost time for class. Ash chased after me.
"You can't go yet dude, their's thirty girls out their you need to break the news too." he said.
I groaned, "Fine," I said. Reluctantly, I walked back to see the group of girls. My eyes widened- this was more than thirty. Hell it's more than a hundred!
From the big crowd, I usually heard; I'm April Pinewood! Marry me Drew Hayden! Hey sexy! Give me your number.
"ASH! This is more than thirty!" I yelled. He walked closer to me and pointed to the crowd nervously smiling; trying to make me forgive him.
"Sorry, well Drew break the news!" he yelled. Getting closer to me, he whispered "I can still go right?" Even though he is an idiot who I still can't believe passed any other grade under this. He tried to help. I nodded my head.
"Sorry, none of you are the girl I'm looking for. Her name is May Maple anyways." I said. The crowd appeared sad, however, soon, all girls and some boys started claiming their May Maple.
"Like come on Drew! Like really like get me like like I'm the guy you like want!" The voice sounded familiar, I looked closer to notice it was none other than Harley. It wasn't surprising honestly, he's shown signs of interest in me. Once, he pushed May in a fountain in Johto when we both appeared by a garden coincidently wearing nice clothing
She wasn't even my girlfriend nor is she because she is only a friend and rival. In my luck, the bell rang and I headed to class.
I sat down, I noticed Paul, the blue haired girl, and Ash were in my class. What a coincidence! This subject shouldn't be hard, it is math.
The brown-haired lady smiled at all of us warmly, "Welcome Class, to a new year for some of you! And a repeat for a lot." she said. Her voice shifted from happy to annoyed as she said and a repeat for a lot.
An Auburn haired boy raised his hand, his arms were on two girls sitting next to him. "Mrs. B have you tried make-up?" he said. The class giggled.
The lady shook her head, "Yes I have Oak. Now take your feet off of Ash's desk and stop touching Emily's and Adriana's shirts. Not only is it disrespectful, you are always trying to touch a part only women may have."
Gary shook his head, "Why do you even bother with life?" he said. Reluctantly, he removed his hands from the two girls shirt. However, his feet where still on Ash's desk.
The teacher gave up and went on about the school rules and what she expects from us this year. While she talked I kept thinking about where May be in the school. Suddenly, a folded up piece of paper landed on my desk. I turned around, I was guessing it was Dawn, however, her face was turned when I looked.
Opening the letter it said her number and a message. Hey Drew! I've heard so much about you. You see so sweet and cool. We should hang out sometimes-Dawn. P.S. you can call me D.
To spare her feelings, I stuffed the piece of paper in my pocket. But, I had only one girl on my mind right now. And her name doesn't start with a D.
"Watch it." I screamed at a kid who bumped into me. Some day of high school, surely one I want to remember for my whole life. I especially love how I keep crashing into lockers. But now, it was done, but my back felt sore and tired. I thought about heading over to the Nurse's Clinic, I could've broken a bone!
When I arrived a sat on the grey chair, finally some rest! A blue haired girl came out, the nurse and her kept laughing about some subject and talking about girly stuff.
"Do you think he likes me? Asked he blue haired girl. Her voice seemed very familiar, but I didn't seem to mind. Funny how she automatically becomes friends with the school nurse on the first day.
"Of coarse he does, I mean- why would he suddenly change the name to May Maple when you left? He's trying to attract you and when you left he had to make up an excuse." she replied calmly.
"But my name isn't April Pinewood…" she said sadly.
"You look like an April Dawn, but trust me, that Drew boy is crazy for you! Their isn't even a student named May Maple in the school." she replied.
My eyes widened, Drew? May Maple? Dawn? That's it! I'm dreaming, this crazy world does not exist and I am not in high school. But, if it isn't I should be careful on what I decide to say and do.
"My name is May Maple.." I said. Dawn faced the nurse nervously, however, she shot back a comforting look.
"Oh, well, do you know a guy named Drew?" she asked me. I could already guess what they were talking about know. Even if they aren't saying much words.
"Yes, he has green hair, he is a jerk." I replied honestly. Dawn looked more relaxed, however, the nurse still kept asking questions.
"Do you really think he's a jerk May?" she asked.
"Depends on his mood, sometimes he's sweet I could kiss him. Not that I would because we aren't dating or anything. Other times he's sarcastic and arrogant." I replied." Dawn appeared nervous again.
"So is he your boyfriend?" she asked me. I nearly fell off my chair.
"No, never! HE IS NOT!" I said. My cheeks turned a shade of red and pink. Everybody kept teasing the both of us about this subject. It get's really annoying, but my answer has always been the same.
"Okay then, thanks for the time." replied the nurse. Oddly, right after I told her he wasn't my boyfriend she seemed more…. Happy. At least to me, she seemed to favorite Dawn a lot. However, the bluenette looked sad. I told her I don't love him shouldn't she be happy because now she can have him? She could go and love some guy she barely knows just because he's cute. She should at least know things about him like me…
Honestly, I'm gonna stop right now but the next chapter is something I've been thinking of for a while!
It's gonna start out where Ash and Drew are after school. And I have a few good ideas for it.
