I'm alive! It seems like forever since I've updated and I want to apologize greatly for that!
But, I hope this chapter makes up for the days that I didn't update. It's just that I went out of town and stuff... Before you start the next chapter though, I just want to say one thing.
KANGAROO JERKY AND ALLIGATOR JERKY IS AMAZING!
*Ahem* Excuse me... Anyway~ Enjoy this new chapter!
WAIT! I do not own Pokemon or any songs that I have used or will use in this story! Also, I didn't have time to edit this so sorry for typos!
"Goodbye Maxie," I bent down to give my little brother a kiss. "I'll see you soon, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll miss you too sis. Please don't start crying though," he said with pink cheeks. I laughed as a stray tear slipped down my cheek.
"Aw, are you embarrassed by your big sissy-wissy?" I teased.
"Yes I am actually," he retorted but still gave me a hug. Now that Halloween was passed and Max had to get back to school he was leaving to hit the books.
"See ya soon ya little freak," I teased once again before letting him go.
"Right back at ya," he joked right back before pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose and getting into the taxi that would take him to the airport. Mom had already bid her farewell a few minutes ago.
After he left I went inside my house only to be interrupted by my phoning ringing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"What's up May?" I heard Leaf ask from the other end.
"Nothing much, I just said bye to Max. He's off to boarding school again," I explained to her. "So did you need anything?" I asked.
"Yeah, I was wondering since it was Friday, would you want to come to a sleepover at my house? All us girls will be there and we've never had a sleepover together before!" She exclaimed. I laughed before talking again.
"I'd love to Leaf. What time do you want me to come? Oh and where do you live?" I laughed again as I asked her that question. We'd known each other for a couple months and I still didn't know where she lived. Now that I thought about it, I didn't know where anyone lived other than Drew.
"Whenever you want and I'll just text you my address once we get off the phone," Leaf paused for a second. "And a little birdie told me that the guys were all staying at Gary's house. I think this totally calls for Double S." I took the phone away from my ear and stared at it weirdly before bringing it back.
"Double S?" I questioned. Leaf sighed.
"Why of course! Spy then Sabotage!" she said as though it were the most obvious thing.
"Okay I get it now. Need me to bring anything particular?" I asked. But you couldn't exactly blame me for not knowing what to pack for a sleepover. I've never even been to one.
"Aside from normal things like clothes I would say black clothes, a flashlight, a camera, anything else you want and then your beautiful self of course!" Leaf told me and I could tell she was getting excited. I hoped she wasn't planning anything too big to do to the guys.
"Uh, okay? Anyway, I'll be over there soon. See ya later!" I hung up as Leaf told me goodbye and immediately got a red duffel bag with May written on it with black rhinestones. I'd gotten it as a gift from my friend Iris back in Hollywood for my birthday a couple years ago.
Running around my room I began to pack all the things that Leaf instructed me to including silly string and toilet paper. I'd always seen girls in movies silly stringing or TP-ing something so why not?
Once I was ready I went downstairs to ask Mom if I could go.
"May, what in the world are you wearing?" I heard her voice from behind me as I stood in the kitchen. Blushing, I turned around and laughed.
"Nothing, nothing," I assured her with another laugh. She probably thought I was going to do something stupid considering I was wearing black army boots, black leggings, a black tank top and a black bandana on top of my flowing hair.
"Are you sure? You seem a little excited…" Mom began while walking ahead of me and began cooking some brown rice.
"Actually, I was wondering if I could sleep over at Leaf's house with the girls," I asked, folding my hands behind my back. I didn't know if she would say yes or no.
"Of course, honey. Why are you cowering away like a scared puppy?" She questioned, still not looking away from the dinner she was preparing.
"Really? Cool! Thanks Mom, see ya!" I yelled while running out of the house. As I was running out I heard Mom laughing at me from behind.
Glancing down at my phone, I checked to see where Leaf lived. It wasn't too far away from my house. Maybe a ten minute walk.
The sun was still bright by the time I walked up to Leaf's house. It was an average size house that looked big but also small enough so that you'd feel welcome. I knocked on the big wooden door and heard yelling before three teenagers came up to the door and flung it open.
"Hey May!" They all shouted. I covered my eyes as they gave me a bear hug.
"Why are you guys so excited?" I asked, still laughing.
"Because there's exactly two months until you leave. You are leaving on New Year's right?" Dawn questioned, cocking her head to the side and tapping her chin.
"Yeah, that's right." A small awkward silence filled the air before Leaf spoke up.
"I see you're wearing the proper attire," she smirked mischievously.
"That I am. I see you guys are too," I noted looking at my friends. Leaf was wearing black skinny jeans, a black V-neck and black Converse. Misty was wearing some black Nike shorts, a long-sleeved black t-shirt and finally black Nikes and black Nike socks that guys always wear. Finally, Dawn was wearing the black sweats that scrunch up in the middle of your calf, a black off the shoulder shirt, and black Nikes like Misty. They all had black marks under their eyes too.
"May, come here! Let us put some black stuff under your eyes!" Dawn called as she bounded up the stairs.
"Dawn, did I give you permission to go to my room?" Leaf teased as she rolled her eyes. Dawn screamed before running into a room, which I guessed was Leaf's.
"Come on," Misty waved her arm, signaling me to come and join her. We walked up the stairs together since Leaf and Dawn were already in Leaf's bedroom.
"So what's Leaf planning to do to the guys?" I asked.
"You know, I don't really know," Misty laughed. "But she is Leaf so who knows." I laughed and nodded my head at that fact. "Oh, her rooms right here," Misty told me, pointing to a wooden white door.
"Oh okay." Misty opened the door and we walked into a green room. The floors were hard wood and there was white bunk bed with a desk on the bottom part. A light green blanket was on the mattress on the top bunk. Fuzzy green bean bags were in a corner and surrounding them were magazines and textbooks. Finally, I saw a dresser that had objects varying from trophies, books, old homework assignments, an IPod and perfume and makeup.
"Nice room," I commented.
"Thanks! I love this place!" Leaf sighed as she not so gracefully fell onto a bean bag.
"Oh chill out, Leaf. It's just a room," Misty shrugged before grabbing some black stuff and putting it on my face.
"Just a room?" Leaf asked perplexed at the thought. "This place is sacred! A girl's best friend is her room!" She said exasperated.
"I thought chocolate and shopping was," Dawn pointed out. Leaf thought for a bit.
"That too," she decided. Suddenly, she popped up from the beanbag to a standing position, fist in the air. "Okay guys! It's almost dark. It's time to tell you my plan!"
Squealing Dawn enthusiastically agree, "Yay! What is it?"
"Okay, we're going to challenge them to a game of Hide and Go Seek Tag… after dark style." Leaf smirked with her hands on her hips.
"That's why we brought the flashlights?" I asked.
"Of course," she stated. A thought popped in my head.
"Hey, how about we also say that we can set up traps too? I brought silly string and some rolls of toilet paper." I felt myself starting to get competitive and all three of my friends smiled at me.
"We like the way you think," they said simultaneously.
"Weirdoes," I joked.
"We know," Misty began.
"But you can't help," Leaf added.
"Loving us," Dawn finished. All four of us shared a laugh and I glanced out the window and saw it was dark.
"Who's ready for a challenge?" Misty smirked, playing with her flashlight.
"Damn straight I'm ready," Leaf said as she twirled her flashlight around in her hand.
"Those guys aren't going to know what hit them," Dawn said in a surprisingly edgy tone. One of her eyebrows was arched and she was smirking just like Leaf and Misty. They all looked at me expectantly.
"Let's do this," I whispered, holding the flashlight under my chin, casting a ghostly image of my face. Giving each other a high five we ran out of the house and once we were out we shushed each other.
"Wait, where does Gary live?" I asked. Misty jabbed her thumb to a house to the right.
"Leaf, Ash and Gary are all neighbors," Dawn clarified for me. I nodded my head and Leaf did the same to signal us to move.
We silently walked over to the side of his house and saw a balcony. Leaf told us that lead up to his room. Luckily there was a giant tree that we could use to easily access Gary's room.
"You good at climbing?" Leaf asked me.
"Of course I am, I grew up in the country," I winked.
"Let's get moving then!" Dawn yelled-whispered. I looked up and saw Misty and Leaf were both already halfway up the large tree. Misty waved her hand telling us to join them. Dawn climbed first and I went up after her. Skillfully, all of us leapt off the tree and on the balcony on the balls of our feet. No sound was made.
Leaf knocked on the door and almost immediately Gary and the rest of the guys were spraying us with water guns.
"What the hell?" Leaf screamed.
"Ash Ketchum, you're dead meat!" Misty screamed.
Meanwhile, Dawn and I were skipping around while they were squirting us. Might was well enjoy it while you can.
"You seriously didn't think that we didn't know you guys were coming over?" Gary asked with a perked brow.
"Oh shut up," Leaf grumbled as well as overdramatically wringing out her damp shirt. "We actually came here for a real purpose." Gary eyed her up and down.
"Dressed like that?" Drew butted in.
"For your information, we came to kick your asses in Night Strike," Misty said matter-of-factly.
"That's a challenge?" Paul asked, seeming a bit interested.
"Of course it is,," Dawn stated in the same tone as well. I guess that all of them took stuff like this seriously so I decided to join in when the boys didn't respond.
"What, are you guys chicken?" I teased while crossing my arms over my chest.
"What made you think that?" Ash asked while twisting his red baseball cap backwards, a determined look in his eyes.
"The fact that you guys won't talk," Leaf pointed out smartly.
"We'll be out in five," Drew stated.
"And we'll be waiting," Dawn said before all of us swung off the balcony and held on the edge with our hands.
"See ya!" We all chorused before falling about ten feet to the ground.
Once our feet hit the ground we cracked up.
"That was so awesome!" Leaf cried out while clutching her stomach and kicking her feet in the air.
"I know! We were so in sync up there it was creepy!" Dawn said while mirroring Leaf's actions.
Misty tried to choke back her laughter so she could cough. "You know, I wonder why we're so competitive about this game." Misty pursed her lips in thought and we all stared at her.
"Probably because we're all couples now," I began. "I haven't been here long but sure in the past when you played this it felt great to win against the guys but now since you're an item… it's like the win is ten times better just because their your boyfriend," I finished explaining thoughtfully.
"The thing is that we only started hanging out with the guys when you came, May. Sure, we'd talk to them but we weren't really friends," Dawn explained.
Shrugging my shoulders I said, "Then this is the time where you make up for all the lost time."
"You know, you should be a philosopher or something," Leaf said seriously. I crinkled my nose.
"Seems like a fun job, but that's not the job for me," I told them.
"Oh of course, because your Little Miss Charming right?" Dawn joked.
I grinned before saying, "For sure."
Five minutes later just like the boys said, they came out with flashlights and dressed in black t-shirts and jeans and tennis shoes.
"Okay, so how are we going to be doing this?" Gary asked.
"No bases or anything like that and whenever you're hit with a flashlight you're out. Simple as that," Misty explained.
"Sounds good to me," Drew said. I nodded my head and planned that I wouldn't go after Drew. It was expected for me to go after him so instead I'm probably going to go after Ash or something.
"How about thirty seconds to hide and then we start?" Dawn questioned as she played with the ends of her somewhat damp hair.
"Sure," everyone chorused.
I eyed everyone before saying, "Ready, set… go!" All the girls took off in different directions and I hid under a bush on the side of Gary's house. My arms wrapped around my knees and brought them toward my chest so that I would stay hidden under the leaves.
After about five minutes of hiding I got bored so I rolled myself from under the plant and then silently stalked around the yard. I wonder how far the boundaries went…
Soon, I spotted a tall oak tree that would serve as a great hiding spot. The sound of my steps was silent as I slinked over to the tree, wondering if I should climb it or hide behind it.
When I stepped behind the tree, my back hit something that wasn't the tree. I quickly turned around and turned on my light the same time that they turned theirs on and other lights flashed on as well.
"I got you!" We both screamed at the same time. I then noticed it was Ash.
"No, I got Ash!" Leaf yelled from a couple feet away.
"I got May," Gary informed with a light too.
"Wait, I got Leaf," Drew came up with a light.
"What? I got Gary!" Misty said.
"Shut up, I got you," Paul called out.
"But, I got Drew before all of you got someone!" Dawn emerged from the other side of the tree. We all turned off our lights with confused expressions before a light shined over all of us.
"You guys forgot that no one got me," Paul smirked.
"What?" We all chorused.
"What just happened?" Misty asked.
"Paul outsmarted all of us as usual," Ash said.
"Well, this was a waste of time," Gary spoke up.
"Not really. Even though it lasted a mere ten minutes, I had fun." All eyes turned to me. "What?" I asked, growing uncomfortable with my friends staring at me.
"You're too optimistic," Leaf grumbled.
"Oh… is it a bad thing?" I asked as I grew confused.
"No, not really, we're just all wondering how you do it," Dawn explained to me.
"I don't really try I guess…" I trailed off before speaking again. "So, what should we do now since as Gary said, this was a total waste?" At that remark Gary childishly stuck his tongue out at me.
Dawn's hand shot up in the air like she was at school. "I know! Tag you're it!" She poked Misty in the side and then ran away laughing evilly. We stared after her until we registered what had happened. Misty was it for tag.
"Run!" Ash, Gary and Leaf screamed. Drew and I looked at each other and then ran in different directions while Paul just stayed standing.
"Oh, that troublesome girl," I heard him mutter.
The sound of my alarm made me fall out of bed on this glorious Monday morning. My hand reached over to turn off my alarm and grab my glasses to give me the ability to see.
I lazily got out of my bed and threw on the first article of clothing my hands touched; White capris, a red of the shoulder shirt and red Converse.
Once I was done, I headed out to go to school. To my surprise, when I walked out of my house I saw a familiar truck sitting in my driveway. The muffin I was eating fell out of my hand. Why was Drew here?
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked him through his window.
"Taking you to school," he told me while flicking his hair.
"Oh," I mumbled and blushed. "You don't have to. I don't mind walking." He shook his head and got out of the car.
"I'm your boyfriend though. I'm supposed to do stuff like this," he reminded me before giving me a quick peck on the lips, as if he was reminding me that he was in fact my boyfriend.
I sighed. "Whatever you say," I told him before I went to my side and he got back in to his side. He smirked a little.
"It seems like you don't want to see me," he told me. My eyes went wide and I shook my head.
"No! I love seeing you," I told him as I saw his smirk broaden. "It's just that I've never had a boyfriend so I'm not used to this stuff." Drew looked at me through the corner of his eye for a second before diverting them back to the road.
"You've never had a boyfriend?" I shook my head and slumped in my seat a bit. "I thought you would have. I don't watch those celebrity shows so I guess I never really paid attention to see whether or not you were single."
"Why did you think I've had one before?" I asked. Drew faintly blushed a bit before talking again.
"You're not ugly May. Quite the opposite. In all honesty you just seem like the kind of girl that guys would be all over." I blushed and was about to say something but Drew wasn't done with his speech yet. "Face it, you're charming just like how you're known for in Hollywood. Not only that but," he stopped at a red light and looked at me, "you're the greatest girl I've ever met." By now I could tell my face was on fire and that he could hear my heart beating. It was beating so hard I thought it was going to beat right out of my chest. I also couldn't ignore the tingles that shot up my back or the butterflies in my stomach. It was amazing that he could do this to me with just a few words.
"You're too sweet, Drew," I told him as I smiled a little. I didn't really know what to say to that but I was touched so I reached for his free hand and held it in mine.
"I know," he said cockily before sending me a dazzling smile. Then I thought of something to ask him. A question that made me nervous even.
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" I asked quietly.
"I've been on a few dates but I've never had a girlfriend. No one ever caught my eye until you showed up," he told me, his eyes still on the road. We were pulling into school now and he parked his car. "Yeah, they've shown interest in me but I've never really given them much thought." His words comforted me a bit and I relaxed.
"Oh," I said.
"Why?"
I thought of the first thing that came to my mind about why I was wondering so much. "Well, you're an amazing boyfriend so it seems like you've had a lot of practice," I told him. Drew smirked his classic smirk and leaned in towards me a little.
"Oh? You think I'm an amazing boyfriend?" He asked. I nodded my head as my eyes darted down to his lips and then his eyes. He seemed to notice this because he laughed and then captured my lips in a sweet kiss. I couldn't help myself as I laughed against his lips. I wasn't sure why I was laughing; I think I was just happy at the moment.
Drew pulled back and leaned his forehead against mine as he smiled a bit. "What?" He asked.
"I don't know. I'm just happy," I told him again before leaning in to kiss his cheek.
"I'm glad," he breathed out. "We should probably start heading in though. School starts in ten minutes."
"Oops! Let's go!" I exclaimed before jumping out of the car and meeting Drew at the back of it.
"You've got to calm down, Miracle," Drew teased while wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me close to him. Smiling, I looked at the ground and leaned into him a bit.
"I like it when you call me that." I looked up at the same time Drew looked down at me.
"Miracle?" I nodded my head and he smiled before letting go of my waist and grabbing my hand as we walked up the stairs to see our friends in their usual spot.
"What took you guys so long this morning?" Gary asked as he winked at us. Leaf elbowed his side, looking annoyed.
"You're a pervert," she grumbled.
"Aw, don't be that way Leafy," he told her as he pulled her into him.
"What's her problem?" Drew asked as he pointed to Leaf. It was my turn to elbow him in the stomach.
"Don't be so rude," I scolded him.
"Sorry Miracle," he whispered in my ear before leaning back up to hear what Gary had to say.
"She found out that she got a B on one her geometry test this morning," he said as he rolled his eyes.
"The teacher hates me! I studied so hard for that test…" she looked at the ground sadly. Leaf took her grades really seriously.
"Aw, don't be so hard on yourself," Misty spoke up for the first time as she stood next to Ash.
"Yeah, you're the smartest person I know," Ash told her truthfully and he received some glares from other people. "What? I'm just speaking the truth," he put his hands up innocently.
"Come on Leafy, we'll get yogurt after school and you'll feel better!" Dawn promised her from her spot of standing next to Paul. Meanwhile, I was confused. I knew she took her grades rather seriously but I was wondering why she was still so hard on herself.
"You guys know it's more my parents. Yeah I care about my grades but I don't care that I got a B but my parents will," she reminded everyone. Were her parents really uptight or something?
"Just stay over at me or Ash's house for a little bit," Gary told her. She shrugged her shoulders but her eyes brightened at the thought.
"Hey, May," Dawn called my name. My head snapped up and turned to face her. "Want to head to art?" She asked.
"Oh yeah sure. I'm probably just going to go up to the library again though," I told her. My art project was almost done. It wasn't something you'd expect but I like the idea of it.
When no one was looking but me, Paul swiftly pecked Dawn's cheek and then let her come with me to the art room.
"Are you coming to the library again?" I asked Drew. He flicked his hair.
"Probably." He leaned down to give me a quick kiss before I turned around to walk off with Dawn.
Like always, I asked Professor Juniper if I could go to the library and of course she said I could. Once I got there, Drew was at our regular table.
"So, you said your project wasn't for me yet. Will I ever be able to know what it is?" He asked as he worked on something in a book.
"As a matter of fact, no you will never be able to see it," I told him. In my mind I gave myself brownie points at the clever thought. Of course he'll never see it, he'll hear it.
Drew looked at me with a perked brow. "And why not?" I laughed to myself.
"Because you can't." I expected Drew to give a snide remark but when he didn't say anything my expression fell a bit.
"Drew?" Nothing. I called his name again and he still didn't answer. Finally I got what he was doing.
"Are you really giving me the silent treatment?" I whined. It was uncomfortable sitting in a silent room. Drew still didn't speak. Instead he was calmly writing stuff down in the workbook and flicking his hair occasionally. I couldn't take it after sitting in ten minutes of silence. I stood up and walked over to where he was sitting and plopped myself right on his lap. He couldn't ignore me forever.
I could tell he was trying to fight a smile and when he finally spoke up and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"PDA much?" He questioned. I smiled and kissed his cheek just to emphasize what he just said.
"Oh please, it's not like you're not enjoying this," I teased him. He overdramatically sighed in defeat.
"Oh no, you've got me there May." Drew then continued to work on whatever he was working on with his arms around me.
"What are you working on anyway?" I asked. It looked like gibberish to me but in some way, familiar.
"You didn't know I take German?" I shook my head. He chuckled before saying, "That makes me feel like a creep now because I know that you're in Spanish." I laughed before saying something.
"Ich liebe dich." Drew smirked.
"So you speak German too?" He asked.
"When you go on world tours you kind of have to know a bunch of languages," I explained.
"Well in that case, I love you too." I blushed and felt butterflies in my stomach again. I loved it when he told me he loved me.
"Good," I said while pecking him on the lips before going back to my spot across from him.
The rest of the hour we sat in an enjoyable silence, one that wasn't forced this time. When the bell rang he offered me his hand which I gladly took and we walked to geometry. I didn't dread this class that much anymore now that I had Drew and I understood everything.
When the bell rang Professor Birch stood up from his desk and walked to the front of the classroom.
"Okay class, we've got a new student coming here today. Treat her with much respect because she is a very respectable person. I also expect you to treat her with kindness too and do not fawn over her." I was confused. Fawn over her? I turned to Drew and saw that he was confused too. The door opened and a short girl walked in that I was very familiar with.
"This is our new student. Her name is Brianna," Professor Birch said. Brianna smiled sweetly to the class as they gasped, excluding me and Drew.
"Hi, I'm so glad to be here! It's going to be a great rest of the year." I didn't miss the look she gave me as she said that last sentence.
Whoa, that was pretty fudging intense at the end. Suspense! Hehe, thank you for checking out this chapter and I promise you, I will update sooner this time.
About responses to reviews, I mostly did it last chapter because that was the chapter I got the most reviews on ever so that was kind of a special shout out type thing. If you want me to do them I will but I think you guys would rather get to the story. Am I right?;)
Anyway, did you see that coming? I'm so excited to start writing the next chapter! I'm thinking Brianna will be in school for maybe 3 to 5 chapters before something happens to her. And yes, she is not hiding her identity so don't get confused. Everyone knows she's famous at school!
Okay, so what should Brianna do to May? And should she be one of Drew's fangirls? I'm trying to put a little of it in but I'm not for sure yet...
Finally, THANK YOU SO FLIPPING MUCH FOR ALL THE REVIEWS I GET! IT MAKES MY DAY EVERY TIME I SEE A NEW ONE!
I love all my reviewers so much:) Thank you for spending some of your time to do that:)
Next chapter will be up soon! (and sorry for how long this A/N was!)
Typa ya later!
