Oh my gosh guys, I am so so so sorry! My freaking grandparents took my computer away and I finally got the oppurtunity to go to the library and type something up!
That's why the chapter is so short too, I typed this in literally forty five minutes. Please excuse any typos, I just really wanted to get something out there.
Also, if you've been seeing my reviewing and not updating it's because I can still review on my phone luckily.
Finally, THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH FOR ALL THE REVIEWS I'VE BEEN GETTING. I LOVE YOU GUYS! (I do not own Pokemon!)
I gripped the sides of the table and I saw my knuckles turn white. What was Brianna doing here? And for that matter, why?
I glanced at Drew the same time he looked at me and our eyes locked for a moment. Drew gave me a look of sympathy before taking my hands of the edge of the table and holding one of them. Naturally, I relaxed at his touch.
Looking back at Brianna I wondered, how could she be so hateful? The girl that was standing in front of the class looked as though she couldn't hurt a fly with her hands innocently folded in front of her and her lips set in a sweet smile.
"Brianna, I know you will love Miami Coast High and all the students too. You'll definitely make friends here," Professor Birch assured her. Brianna smiled again.
"Oh I know I will, Professor." She laughed and covered her hand with her mouth that had most of the guys thinking she was adorable. I could practically see them almost falling out of their chairs. "So where do I sit?" She curiously asked while scanning the room, her eyes landing on me for a brief second.
"You can go sit in front of Ms. Miracle and Mr. Hayden." Professor Birch pointed to the chair right in front of me and Brianna happily walked over, her reddish hair swishing.
Throughout all of this I was trying to not flip out. I should play this cool and treat her with kindness right?
Throughout Geometry I couldn't focus. My eyes kept diverting back to the girl sitting in front of me. I sighed from relief when the bell rung. Thankfully, Brianna was too busy flirting with guys to jab anything at me yet.
"You okay?" Drew asked quietly, not wanting anyone else to overhear our conversation.
I nodded and smiled, attempting to show him he doesn't need to worry about me. "Yeah, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me." Drew rolled his eyes.
"Of course I should worry about you and then you will proceed to punch me because I'm worried about you. It's how it works," he shrugged and leaned back in his chair. I laughed and then ironically punched his arm.
"You are a pessimist." Drew just laughed at that and then the bell rang, signaling the start of Biology.
Professor Birch went through the usual routine until he sent us off. As Drew and I were walking out of the room he stopped us.
"Yes Professor?" I questioned.
"I would like to know if Brianna here could join your group? I'm sure it would be no trouble would it?" He asked or rather stated that she'd be joining us. Hurriedly, I looked at Drew and he looked calm and collected as usual. I felt the urge to roll my eyes but decided against it.
"As much as we'd love that, May and I have already finished. The poster board is at my house waiting to be turned in," he replied smoothly with a flick of his green hair. Silently, I thanked him for being so quick and polite to deny her entry to our group.
"Oh, seriously?" Professor Birch asked, not sounding like a teacher at all for a second but more like a teenager who found out his homework was due today. I laughed quietly to myself and nodded.
"Seriously," I laughed again. Professor Birch chuckled and turned to a not so happy Brianna.
"Well, it looks likes I'll have to find you a new group. Come on, let's go," he ushered her out of the classroom. I still caught the glare that she threw me though. Once me and Drew were the only people in the classroom I turned to face him.
"For once, I'm going to thank you for being so arrogant and smooth," I teased. A smirk began to play on Drew's lips.
"Oh, you think I'm smooth huh?" Drew flicked his hair and held out his hand for me. When I didn't take it right away he looked at me. "You coming, August?" I punched his arm before taking his hand and walking with him through the empty hallways.
Throughout class we avoided the topic of Brianna and Drew and I both decided we'd tell the rest of the group about Brianna when we got frozen yogurt after school.
The day went by dreadfully slow, especially because Brianna was in most of my classes except for art, music and Spanish. Finally the bell rung at the end of history and Dawn and Drew made there way over to me. But Brianna didn't…
"Ready to go eat some yogurt with high sugars and calories in it?" Dawn squealed with enthusiasm. I laughed at her and playfully rolled my blue eyes.
"Oh yeah, for sure. Can't wait to eat the good stuff," I joked right back.
"You guys are both like twenty pounds," Drew scoffed. Dawn placed her hands on her hips.
"It's only natural to think about this stuff. We're girls who have to work out to stay twenty pounds while you guys are endless black holes of nothingness!" She exclaimed getting louder and louder, trying to get her point across. Luckily no one else was left in the classroom so she wasn't getting those odd stares like usual.
"Okay then. You can go ahead and think that," Drew smirked. "Because guys totally don't have to work out to get the amazing abs that I have." It was my turn to put my hands on my hips.
"What abs or muscles in general?" I asked with an arched brow.
"I'll show you later," Drew said lowly and then winked. Dawn whistled and then giggled.
"It's getting hot in here," she teased.
"Shut up both of you," I muttered, my cheeks turning pink.
"You're so cute!" Dawn told me. My cheeks only turned darker and I shook my head. Dawn laughed again and the three of us began walking to Frogurt. "Don't get so flustered," Dawn said.
"Easy for you to say when you're not the one getting picked on all the time," I pointed out.
"True," she finally agreed.
We joked for the next five minutes until we arrived at the yogurt shop.
"About time you guys got here," Gary told us from the booth after we had gotten our yogurt and sat down.
"Eh, you have to wait for those cooler than you," Drew said arrogantly. Gary rolled his eyes.
"At least we're all here now," Ash said and glanced at Leaf he was stabbing her cold treat with a spoon. "Aw c'mon Leaf, you're still upset? A B seriously isn't bad at all," he reassured her. Leaf rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but you know my parents. We've been neighbors since birth," she pointed out.
"Birth, schmirth," Ash waved her off.
"Easy for you to say when you and Gary get straight A's," Leaf muttered.
"WHAT?" Everyone chorused except for the three neighbors. Leaf cracked a smile and laughed for the first time all day.
"Oops!" She laughed some more.
"You," Misty pointed to Ash, "And you," she pointed to Gary, "Get straight A's?" Her eyes were wide. Gary looked offended but Ash just shook it off and took another bite of yogurt.
"It's not that hard to believe. If I want to be a Professor when I'm older I have to get in a good college. Getting into good colleges means having good grades," Gary said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"AW MAN, BRAIN FREEZE!" Ash cried out, scaring all of us and making me jump a little. My laughter bubbled through my lips and most of the table was laughing at his expense except for Paul and Misty.
"You, get straight A's?" Misty questioned her boyfriend again. He nodded his head while pressing his thumb to the roof of his mouth.
"Sure do, Mist," he responded, still trying to get rid of the brain freeze. Suddenly Misty smirked.
"So all the help with studying was really an excuse to spend some time with me?" She asked slyly. Ash blushed and ate more of his yogurt. Drew and Gary both let out a low whistle.
"Never knew Ash had a dirty mind," Drew observed. Gary nodded.
"Yep, he's definitely hiding something under that hat of his." I laughed at that and so did everyone else.
"Hey, yogurt really does make everyone happier," Leaf smiled and scooped up some her chocolate flavored frozen yogurt and popped the spoon in her mouth.
"I knew it would," Dawn told her smartly. Leaf smirked.
"Don't get cocky like Drew over there," Leaf pointed out. Dawn rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Me? Cocky? Psh, what are you talking about?" Dawn asked pretending to be shocked. It was absolutely amazing how much better you could feel after talking to your friends and eating yogurt.
"You know who hasn't been cocky though?" Misty asked. "Drew," she said, not waiting for people to even ask who.
"Hmm, you're right," Dawn said.
"And May's being quieter than Paul," Ash observed and pointed a finger at Paul who was sitting next to Dawn.
"Maybe I don't want to take part in this conversation. It's not really going anywhere," Paul told us.
"I will pay you money if you take part in one of our conversations for at least ten minutes," Gary said, already digging for his wallet. Leaf swatted his hand away from his jeans.
"We are getting off topic!" Leaf exclaimed. "Now, why are you being so quiet May?" She asked, bringing the whole tables' attention on me.
"Well, I didn't tell you guys everything that happened after the dance," I started out quietly.
"Lemme guess, Drew knows?" Misty asked. Drew put his hands up in surrender before Misty could get our her mallet.
"In my defense I was with her, so it was kind of hard to avoid."
"Well, you could have walked away," Ash said. Drew's gaze hardened.
"And leave May with some chick who slapped her and called her a bitch and a skank?" He spat out. Everyone's eyes widened including Paul's.
"Who did what now?" Dawn raged.
"Guys, don't get worked up over this," I told them, not wanting to make a huge production over Brianna calling me a few words.
"Was that why your cheek was all red? I thought it was just S&M," Gary said with fake shock. Leaf slapped his arm.
"Shut up you pervert! There is a bitch after May and all you can think about is sex?" Leaf exclaimed and punched him again before turning around. "Now what were you saying?" She asked politely now. My mouth was still hanging open but I quickly snapped it shut.
"Wait," Dawn said. "Who's the chick that did that to you, May? Could it be…"
"Brianna," Leaf and Misty said to each other. I nodded my head.
"Why did she say all of that stuff to you?" Ash asked, getting interested into this conversation.
"Do you guys know Brendan Birch and what happened between me and him?" I asked. Dawn's hand shot up in the air and so did Paul's but he only lifted it about an inch off the table.
"My sister, remember?" Paul said when everyone was staring at him.
"Oh," was mumbled.
"I just know it because I watch gossip shows," Dawn shrugged her shoulders and smiled. I returned her smile before continuing.
"Care to explain what happened for us that don't watch it?" Gary asked. I nodded my head.
"A little while ago Brianna and Brendan were going out and they had for the past four years almost…" I began telling them what I told Drew, not forgetting to leave out a single detail.
"I can't believe the nerve of that guy," Leaf said while shaking her head. Misty nodded her head, agreeing with Leaf.
"That's why I don't really blame Brianna for what she did," I told them.
"Huh?" They all asked. I looked to Drew and silently asked him if he could explain. He nodded his head.
"May has this theory that Brianna only did that stuff because she's just upset. Along with the fact that May thinks its her fault and neither Brendan's or Brianna's which no offense May, I think is complete bull," he said.
"Aw, May, why do you think it's your fault?" Dawn asked curiously. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Because I could have gotten Brendan off of me if I tried harder," I said, giving them the same answer that I gave Drew.
"Poor May," Leaf said.
"So you don't want us to go after her?" Misty asked.
"Yeah, because we gladly will," Gary assured me. Laughing, I shook my head.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'll be fine," I told them.
"You're welcome!" Dawn chirped.
"Hey, thanks for telling us this," Misty told me. Ash nodded his head.
"Yeah, we'll be here whenever you get tired of Drew," Ash joked and Drew rolled his eyes while I openly laughed.
"I'll remember that," I told them.
"Aw, this is just too sweet!" Brianna's voice filled the room as she approached us. Every single person at the booth stiffened except for me.
"Hey Brianna," I tried to say as nicely as possible. She shook her head.
"Don't act all innocent when you just ratted me out," Brianna said while narrowing her eyes.
"Listen here-" Misty began but I stopped her a smile and a shake of my head.
"It's not what you think," I told her.
"Whatever May. I'm just here to tell you that I'm not only going to make your life hell but I'm going to make all your friends' lives hell too!" She said happily and giving me a dazzling smile. Misty and Leaf arched a brow while Dawn narrowed her eyes. The guys were keeping their cool.
"I'd rather you ruin my life," I told her.
"Where would the fun in that be though?" She asked while cocking her head to the side.
"Please-" I was going to say more but was cut off by Paul.
"When you mess with my friends that means I mess with you," he said dangerously. Brianna looked taken aback.
"If you do that then you should remember I have the whole world in the palm of my hand," she said smartly.
"I'm terrified," he said in a monotone voice. "Get out of here," he said harshly. Brianna narrowed her eyes.
"I'm going after your girl first," she said and then turned on her heel and walked away. When she was gone I buried my face in my hands.
"I'm so sorry guys," I mumbled.
"It's not your fault, it's Brianna's," Leaf assured me.
"You have no idea how much I want to kill her," Misty spoke up.
"Ditto," Gary and Ash said.
"May, it's fine. She's just letting her anger blind her. It's not your fault," Dawn tried to soothe me and I felt Drew's hand let itself rest on my knee.
"It's not okay though. She's going to make your guys' lives miserable too," I looked up with teary eyes. I felt responsible for this whole mess. "I don't maybe I should just go back home so she'll come back. The paparazzi will be bad at first but it'll go away eventually," I told them, trying to cover up my watery eyes with a small smile. All my friends looked at me with looks of sympathy.
"Don't go," Paul said.
"Huh?" I looked at him. That ghost of a smile came to his lips again.
"If you go then she wins," he told me. I smiled slightly at that.
"You're right, but I think I'm still going to go early. Go home, think some stuff over. See ya'll tomorrow," I said, letting my accent come back to me a little.
"I'll walk you home," Drew told me as I got out of the booth.
"Kay," I shrugged and waved goodbye to my friends. Once outside the door, I let the tears that were building up flow freely. Drew sat me on a bench that was a little ways from Frogurt.
"May, it's not your fault," he told me while stroking the tears away. I nodded my head and tried to smile again.
"I'm sorry," I laughed. Drew looked at me with curiosity in his eyes.
"What? Why?"
"Because I'm crying," I told him and then pointed to my face. He gave me lopsided grin.
"You don't have to apologize for that, December," he teased me while he wiped away the last tears.
"Back to months now are we?" I questioned, a smile playing at my lips.
"Definitely," Drew said with a flick of his hair. My hand reached up and caught one of Drew's locks.
"You know, I never told you that one day but your hair really is soft," I told him as my fingers continued to play with his hair.
"Really now? I try," he flashed me his classic smirk before leaning towards me and kissed my lips.
As his lips massaged mine, my hands traveled from his hair down to his toned chest. Drew's tongue slyly slipped into my mouth and I fully allowed its access. It was a good thing that the trees were covering where we were sitting or the public would probably think we were some crazy teenagers. But I guess we were.
My hands finally moved and rested on Drew's stomach and a smirk came on my lips as I pulled away from the kiss much to Drew's dismay.
"You do have nice abs," I winked before laughing. Drew smirked and then shook his head.
"You're so weird," he told me as I continued to poke his stomach.
"I bet you're dying to see them without my shirt on," he joked. I removed my hands and turned my back to him.
"In your dreams, Grasshead." Drew wrapped his arms around me and brought me close to him.
"But you love your Grasshead," he reminded me.
"Totally. You're my lovable Grasshead," I teased before getting up.
"How about walking me home now?" I asked him. Drew rolled his eyes.
"Always so needy!" He exclaimed but wrapped his arm back around my waist.
"Thanks," I said after a little bit. Drew's green eyes locked on my blue eyes. For a second I wondered what color our kids' eyes would be if we ever had them. I blushed and shook the thought away.
"For what?" I stopped walking and stood up on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
"For keeping me smiling," I told him. Drew smirked and then kissed my nose. I squeezed my eyes shut in delight.
"Only for you," he told me. My eyes opened and I smiled.
"You're so cheesy!" I accused him. Drew perked a brow.
"I don't see you objecting." I chewed the inside my cheek before walking again.
"You've got me there," I grumbled in defeat.
"Don't I always get you?" He asked arrogantly.
"Don't push it," I warned him as we arrived in my driveway. He just smirked and leaned down to kiss me again. When he was about to say goodbye I stopped him.
"I don't want you to leave me yet," I told him truthfully as a thought came to my mind. "Want to meet my mom?" I asked with a hopeful tone.
"I thought you didn't want me to meet her because you'd get embarrassed," he reminded me, obviously trying to get me riled up.
"That was before, this is now," I told him, trying to get him to stay.
"I don't know," he trailed off. Suddenly I thought of a good plan and I smiled devilishly.
Standing on my tiptoes again I brought my lips only a millimeter away from Drew's but didn't fully kiss him.
"If you don't meet my mom, no more kisses for you," I warned him. As Drew tried to lean in I pulled away as fast as I could.
"You know I was going to stay anyway," Drew pointed out.
"Sure you were," I drawled out before reaching up to plant a chaste kiss on his lips.
"See? Now you'll get unlimited kisses," I said.
"I'll take up on that offer," he smoothly told me before walking to my door. "Am I going to meet her or what?" I rolled my eyes but skipped up to the door with Drew. I opened it and stepped in, ushering Drew in too.
"May, is that you?" Mom asked, coming out from the kitchen. She stopped when she saw Drew standing next to me. "My oh my, who do we have here?" She asked with a slight smirk on her face.
"Maybe it wasn't a good idea for you to meet her," I whispered to Drew but Mom caught it.
"Nonsense, I want to meet him," she said walking towards Drew.
"Yeah, May. You're mom's lovely. You guys could pass as twins," he said politely and gave Mom a dazzling smile while I face palmed. Sure, it was obvious I got my looks from Mom but twins? Please!
"That's what I tell her!" Mom exclaimed before talking again. "By the way I'm Caroline and obviously May's mom even if I don't look like it. And you are definitely Drew," she said before hugging him.
"That's me," he laughed.
"You know, May talks about you a lot," Mom said while smiling, trying to embarrass me on purpose. Drew turned to look at me and then back at Mom.
"Really? What does she say?" He asked curiously.
"All sorts of things. I've also heard her talk on the phone with Dawn and them about you." She stopped talking and noticed we were still in our entry room. "Wait, why don't you come in and we'll talk more?" Mom asked before walking into the kitchen. "Come on in! I'll make some drinks," she said before disappearing completely.
"I have no idea why I wanted you to meet her," I sighed and Drew kissed my nose again.
"Well, I like her. Our moms would get along well. Both like to be embarrassing," he laughed.
"For sure," I laughed with him but then a serious look came to my face. "I'm just wishing you luck when you meet my dad," I warned him before dragging him to the kitchen. For some reason though, I was happy even if Mom was leaking embarrassing facts about me.
Then again, it's not like my life has ever been private.
Crossing my fingers, hoping you all loved it as much as you love the other chapters? Sorry, if this seemed like I was dragging on it's just that it was already so short, I needed to keep going.
Also because the library computers don't have a word count so I can't tell. CURSE THOSE COMPUTERS! Hopefully I'll get my copmuter back soon. Until then, I'll be going to the library frequently.
Review? Please? For me?
Thank you all so much for the reviews I do get, they are greatly appreciated:)
