As soon as I woke up and realized it was finally Friday, it was like the clouds opened as the light from Heaven shone down on the earth. So basically my mood increased by about one hundred percent.

I moved to my closet, tugging down what my hands grabbed first, which proved to be rather dressy. Whether that was a good or bad thing was unknown to me.

I slipped on the white dress that went around mid-thigh and had a sweetheart neckline and then put on the mustard colored cardigan that was the same length as the dress. Lastly, I put on a skinny brown belt around my waist and slipped my feet into brown ankle boots.

Once I was completely done getting ready, I saw it was a quarter past seven. Seeing that school started in thirty minutes, I walked out of my room. As I saw Mom was still sleeping, I walked quietly downstairs. I grabbed my backpack and a granola bar and I walked outside, the morning air cool. As I was scrolling through my phone, a message popped up with Dawn's name in my phone ("My Bluenette Love", if you'd like to know).

Yeah, okay, whatever floats you boat. Still, we're waiting to hear all about it. See you soon, May c:


I shook my head, locking my phone and slipping it into my bag that was hanging off my shoulder. Honestly, I wasn't sure whether or not they were teasing about me and Drew anymore. And for some reason, I didn't mind all that much.

Shrugging my shoulders, I continued to make my way to school, kicking small pebbles along the sidewalks and singing to myself under my breath. I felt the familiar twitch in my fingers as I longed for my guitar. As I continued to hum, I took out a notebook I took with me everywhere and began scrawling out chords and lyrics across the paper - none of it in any particular order.

When I got to school, I stuffed the notebook back in my bag and raised an eyebrow as I saw not only Misty, Leaf and Dawn, but also Gary, Paul, Ash, and Drew. I began walking to the stairs of the school, only to be met with Dawn halfway there.

I adjusted my bag. "I hope you know I'm not giving you any juicy details. There aren't exactly many," I confessed.

Dawn's smile didn't falter. "Oh, I'm not too worried. It'll happen soon."

"Hey, what are you-"

"Let's go!"

She grabbed my hand, tugging me up the steps, keeping a hold of me until we were with everyone. It's not like I was going to run away or anything.

"I brought a special friend," she announced, bumping her shoulder into mine. Her small frame didn't do much to me, though.

"Special's the right word," Drew said teasingly, his arms crossing over his chest. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Shut up."

"Oh, what a comeback."

I rolled my eyes at him, but the small and barely there smirk made my lips quirk up as well.

"Stop flirting," Gary said suddenly, a couple laughs erupting from the group.

Drew rolled his eyes, just like I'd done to him a couple seconds earlier. "Dude, do you want me to make it so that you wish you'd never spent so much time on your hair today?"

"You wouldn't," Gary said, narrowing his eyes and bringing his hands up to shield the chestnut spikes.

Leaf reached over and tugged on his hair, bringing his head down to hers. "Well, I just did, so ha."

Crossing his arms, Leaf only laughed, releasing him from her grip.

Misty cleared her throat, her cheeks a light red that showed she was laughing. "Leaf, we've got to get going - class is in three minutes."

"Hey, I'm in your class too!" Ash commented, looking offended.

"Uh, me too," Gary added, placing a hand over his heart. "I mean, how could you ever forget someone like me? I'm so charming it's unhealthy."

Leaf and Misty both scoffed, turning on their heels. "Then come on," they said in unison.

I laughed at the scene in front of me, seeing Ash and Gary trail behind like little puppies.

When they turned the corner, I turned around, but only saw Drew with me. I jumped in surprise at how close he was to me, only a step away. He didn't seem to notice though.

"Where'd Dawn and Paul go?" I asked, licking my lips and trying to swallow the sudden lump down my dry throat. Drew's hands fell on my shoulders, and I jumped slightly, goosebumps growing on my arms.

He stared at me, his green eyes studying my movements. "Why're you so anxious all of a sudden, Miracle? They just said they were heading off and then left." He narrowed his eyes at me. "Come on, you have art first, right? My class is next to it."

"Uh, yeah, okay," was my smart reply. Still giving me a strange look, Drew took the lead and I followed him as we walked past lockers and the classrooms that were quickly filling with people.

"I do not want to go to art," I groaned as we walked.

"Thought you liked it," Drew commented.

I nodded my head. "Of course I do. But remember that whole inspiration thing I told you about earlier? I have no idea what to do on it, so for the last month I've been avoiding Juniper and doodling in the back. And let me tell you, it's not fun."

Drew chuckled lightly. "Well, have fun. It looks like we're at your stop."

"You're kind of a loser," I told him, hugging my books close to my chest and looking at him through squinted eyes.

"Yeah, okay. Go to class." He shoved me into the room, walking away before I could say anything. Rolling my eyes at his usual behavior, I walked into the room just as the bell rang, making my way to Dawn at our table.

The bluenette immediately began talking, as per usual. "Juniper is giving us the option to go to the library if you still haven't figured out what you're doing your project on. She says everyone needs to start working by the end of the day," Dawn explained, eyeing me with a smirk.

I stuck my tongue out at her. "It's not my fault I haven't thought of anything!"

She laughed. "Don't have too much fun without me."

Giving her a teasing shove, I went to Professor Juniper so she could give me a library pass before walking through the halls and entering the library. To my surprise it was completely empty. I expected at least a couple classes to be working at the many tables. Guess not.

Walking farther into the library, I raised a brow when I spotted a certain grasshead occupying a table off to the side. Shrugging, I decided to join him and pulled out the chair next to his to sit down in.

"You again," he said, not taking his eyes off the paper he was writing on. He flipped a page in a book next to him, ignoring my presence.

"Wow, what a warm welcome," I said with heavy sarcasm. I looked at his paper. "What are you working on?"

He looked up, locking eyes with me. He flicked his hair out of his eyes and simply replied, "Work. What are you supposed to be doing up here?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Well, Drew, I'm glad you're so descriptive. I'm supposed to be researching and brainstorming on what inspires me so I can start my project for art."

"That project again?" Drew asked, placing his pencil down for a moment. "Haven't you had that for almost a month?"

"Shut up," I said, a slight blush forming on my cheeks. "I just don't know what inspires me. I already told you that much. I've been lacking inspiration for awhile now."

Drew perked a brow at me. A smirk began to grow on his face. "Well then you better start working on it, huh?"

I hit his shoulder with my notepad. "Then stop distracting me."

"So you admit that I do indeed distract you."

That earned him another hit.

For the rest of the hour, the two of us worked quietly side by side. We didn't talk anymore, and only looked up from our work when the librarian would pass through, sorting books on the shelves or when a person would come in and out of the room.

And when the bell finally rang, the both of us stood up, packing out stuff. I groaned.

"What?" Drew asked, pushing his chair in and walking out of the library with me.

I looked up at him. "Algebra," I said simply while my brows furrowed in distress.

"Really, Miracle? It's just math. It's not even that hard - well, for me. I guess it's different for you."

I glared at him, but he only smirked at me. Drew was obviously proud of his ability to get under my skin so easily. What a loser.

"It's not like I'm bad it it, it just takes effort and-!" I was quickly caught off by a speeding brunette running straight into me. Said girl gripped my shoulders and when I could finally open my eyes, I saw it was none other than Leaf. "Leaf? What's up?" I asked as I lightly laughed from her aggressive actions.

"More like what's right, May! I got a date to the dance," she announced, a bright smile on her face.

"Dance?" I asked dumbly, raising my brows. No one had told me about one.

Leaf let go of my shoulders and smirked, resting a hand on her hip. "Yeah, it's the Fall Ball. It's on the fifteenth. Haven't you seen the fliers?"

I shook my head. "No. Don't they talk about it on the announcements?"

"Only the week before the dance," Leaf said.

Not even realizing it, I began to smile. I'd love to go to a school dance. Check another thing off my "Live a Life of a Normal Teenager List" because this was right up there.

"Oh," I said suddenly, "who are you going with?"

Drew decided to step into the conversation. "If the obvious is correct, Leaf's probably going with Gary. And Misty will go with Ash. And Dawn will go with Paul. Somehow," he informed me with a flick of his hair to get his shaggy bangs out of his eyes.

Leaf rolled her eyes and laughed. "Don't forget about you going with May, loser," she pointed out. Seriously, too. She wasn't joking.

"I'm not going with Drew," I said, shades of pink dusting my cheeks.

"Yeah, okay," Leaf laughed. "Anyway, my class is on the other side of the school. See you during lunch!" With that, she was off.

Sighing, I looked up at Drew who was still standing beside me. He was a mischievous look on his face with the way a smirk was tugging at the corner of his lips.

"What?" I asked, tugging at the ends of my hair, my cheeks warming at the way he was looking at me.

"You wouldn't want to go to the dance with me at all? Even if I ended up asking you?" he asked. He seemed to notice how flustered I was becoming with made me that much more.

I'd never had a boyfriend. There, the truth is out. And it was weird because I could somehow see Drew as a good boyfriend. For me.

Immediately, I stopped my thoughts and tried to ignore the way my palms grew clammier.

"Well, it depends," I said, trying to sound like the idea of going to a dance with him as my date wasn't a big deal.

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a rose. "You seem to like these," he commented, handing it to me. As always it was thorn-less and the perfect color of red.

"They're alright," I murmured. Still, I took it.

"May," Drew said suddenly. I looked up at him. "Would you like to go to the dance with me?"

Letting my head tilt to the side, I asked, "And you're not just asking me this to prove that I'd go with you if you asked?"

"Nope," he laughed, a crooked smile replacing the smirk.

"Well," I said, stretching the word out, "yeah, I'll go with you."

Suddenly, Drew grabbed my hand in his and began running down the hall. "I'm not hitting on you by holding your hands," he commented, "but there are only thirty seconds until class, and I don't want a detention."

I squeaked a noise of surprise, but ran right along with him.


Sooner than I expected, the school day was over and Dawn and I parted ways so we could go to our lockers to deposit our books. When I was done with that, I made my way to the front of the school and was a bit caught off guard with I saw not only my three best friends, but also four familiar males. I guess they were really becoming friends again and this morning wasn't a one time thing.

I skipped down the steps and while approaching them I greeted, "Hey guys."

"Hey," Misty said, waving to me.

When I finally got to them, I couldn't stop my surprise from filling my body. Not only was Gary's arm wrapped around Leaf's waist, but Ash had Misty's hand in his own. How much could have happened in the time of one school day? And Dawn and Paul didn't seem too far behind, as Paul wouldn't tear his gaze from the shorter girl.

"May."

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Drew say my name. He came up to me and nodded in the direction of the rest of our friends. "Since they're all doing something, how about we work on our project today? We're almost done, anyway."

I nodded. "Sure. My house?"

"Yeah," he agreed with a shrug.

Everyone began to say goodbye and part ways. Leaf, Gary, Misty, and Ash were the first to go but Paul and Dawn weren't too far behind.

I turned to look at Drew. "Are any of them dating officially yet?"

"Nope. But they sure are acting like it," he said. "It's weird."

"Why?"

"You know the story of how we were all friends and then we weren't. And then suddenly we are and everyone is splitting into couples. All because of your arrival," Drew said, giving me a pointed look with a grin.

Blushing, I said, "I didn't do anything."

"Sure. Are we going to your house now?"

"Yeah. Are you driving?" I asked.

He stared at me. "No. I'm going to make you walk and I'll drive myself."

"I bet you find yourself hilarious," I said dryly, but started to walk with him as he began going towards his car.

"No, I am hilarious."

I ignored that comment, but did let a light laugh slip through my lips.

After the short ride, Drew parked at the curb by my house. Getting out of the car and entering the garage, I let a sigh of relief pass through my lips.

"What?" Drew asked, coming up behind me.

"My mom is gone. Which is good. Because if she were here, she'd completely flip," I explained.

"And why would she do that?"

I blushed. "Well, she'd most likely assume you're my boyfriend."

"I see," Drew breathed, smirking to himself.

"Hey," I said, with a sudden thought. "Do we have to work on the project? You even said we're almost done. So we can afford one day off, can't we?"

Drew stared at me with those sharp eyes. For a second, I thought he wasn't going to say anything and keep staring at me. But eventually he shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, I guess we can afford one day."

I smiled at that. It's not like I've never hung out with anyone, it's just it had been so long since I had. Two months ago was the last time I did and it was only for a little bit with my friends Marina and Jimmy.

"You skateboard?"

The question was so random that it caught me off guard. I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to see Drew standing with my old skateboard in his hands. I shrugged.

"I mean, I used to. I was never too good at it though," I admitted a bit sheepishly.

"Then come here," Drew said, gesturing for me to follow him out of my garage.

"Do you know anything about skateboarding?" I asked, following him.

"Yeah. My sister made me teach her how to, too," he told me, setting the board down and making another gesture for me to get on it.

I set one foot on the board, noticing how it wobbled. I froze when I felt Drew's hands fall to my waist, holding me steady. Awkwardly, I placed my hands on his shoulders and put my other foot on the board. Locking gazes with him, I noticed we were the same height now. I also noticed a very faint blush on Drew's cheeks that I was sure matched my own.

Finally, I managed to choke out, "I'm probably going to fall. I'm kind of a klutz."

Drew laughed behind closed lips. "I've noticed."

"Hey-!"

One second I was on the board, and the next, my prediction came true, and I fell, bringing Drew down with me. I landed on top of him. At first, both of us were frozen, kind of just laying there. But then, we both erupted in laughter.

"What'll the neighbors think when they see us in this position?" Drew commented after our laughter had died down slightly.

With one last laugh, I shook my head. "Honestly, I have no idea. Probably think I'm a slut." I pushed off of him, and sat up just as he was doing the same.

"Nah, that word doesn't fit you. You don't have the look for a slut."

"Thanks… I think?" I said, making Drew laugh.

When I moved my eyes from his face, I noticed a very familiar car turning a corner to drive up my street.

"Oh no," I muttered, and grabbed Drew's hand in mine. "Mom alert! Come on!"

Dragging Drew with me, I pulled open the iron gate to my backyard and, without thinking, dove into the bushes, bringing Drew with me. At least we escaped my mom. But now, we were in another compromising position.

Drew leaned on his elbows to keep his weight off me as he stared at me with a look of pure amusement. "What's up with you and getting into these positions with me?"

Blushing I said, "I don't know. But my mom was driving up the street and if she saw us, she would probably freak out. Like I said."

"Did I ever tell you that my mom freaks out about you?" he said suddenly.

"Why?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowing.

He shrugged as best as he could while being on top of me. "Same reason as yours. She wants us to date."

I blushed again and pushed Drew to get off of me. He sat up and I joined him, leaning against the side of my house.

So many thoughts were running through my head at the moment. Why did I blush so much at the thought of dating him? Why was I getting less annoyed by his presence? Why was I wanting to hang out with him? And why was my heart beating so fast all the time? Was it really because I've never had a boyfriend, or was it because he was Drew?

"What are you thinking about, Miracle?" Drew asked, breaking me from my thoughts once again.

Deciding not to answer him, I considered my options. I think it's obvious that I do like him. But what if I told him and he didn't feel the same way at all? Sometimes he acted like it, but I couldn't be sure. Still, if he didn't return my feelings it wouldn't be that big of a deal, right? After the semester ends, I'd just go back home and forget about everything anyway.

"Drew," I said, gaining his attention. I felt his gaze on me. "What are your feelings for me?"

I finally looked at Drew and saw he was now looking in front of him. "Well, you're really klutzy, awkward, and random. You spazz out a lot and you're a pain sometimes."

"Oh."

"But, after knowing you a couple months, I've realized I like it. A lot."

"Oh. So, you're saying that you like me?"

He nodded, his emerald eyes locking on my sapphire ones. "What about you?"

"Well," I mimicked him, "you're really arrogant, cocky, and a jerk. You confuse me everyday and your habit of flicking your hair pisses me off. But I like it. A lot."

Drew laughed at me, shaking his head. "Good, then. What about getting out of these bushes? Can we do that?"

I joined in his laughing, nodding. "Sure."

He climbed out first, and stuck his arm through the bushes, offering his hand to me. I took it and let him pull me out of them.

I wasn't exactly sure where this left us. We both had feelings for the other, yet we weren't dating. I didn't know if that's what Drew even wanted. But I do know that whether I like it or not, I, May Maple, am falling in love with Drew Hayden.


Yay, Drew and May are kind of in a sort of way together! Did you like it? And sorry if you don't like fluff but I found out my aunt was pregnant so I was in a cutesy mood:)

Please review! My heart bursts when rainbows when you do!(If you play Zelda you'll see what I just did there!)

See ya-err, type ya later!
