Me: Phew Me: Phew ! It's been such a long time since I wrote another chapter !
Drew:
Me: O-kay… where the heck is that guy ? Do you know where he is, May ?
May:
Me: Brendan, are you there ?!
Brendan:
Me: Aak ! Out of all days… the day I have to post chapter 6.
Drew: (panting) Hi… Evil… we're finally… back…
May: Hi !
Me: Where were you two ?!
May: Oh, we just…
Me: Wait ! …Don't tell me… You went on a date !
Drew and May: WHAT ?! WE DID NOT !!
Brendan: The more times you say the same things at the same time, the less things I say… boo hoo hoo… Xdrewmay74X does not own anything in this story except for Drew's parents, Eva, the teachers, the other royal adults and the old couple who took care of Drew for a few years.
Chapter 6: The Second Tragedy
It was just like any other Tuesday, except for the fact that May wasn't that cheerful and lively as she usually was, Drew noticed. After all, who wouldn't be if their parents had died the day before ?
Anyway, the sun was shining, the chatots were singing… and Dawn screamed in agony.
"I HATE PAUL !!"
Paul was Drew's partner in class, and also the person that Dawn hated the most. Along with his best friend, Bryan, who played the guitar. He was at Grade 9, and put his best into it – not playing the guitar, but showing off how well he could play. To tell you the truth, it wasn't all that great.
Once, he got stage fright and half-burped, half-sang My Love by Westlife and even honked like a donkey at one point. He stuttered on his words, fell off the stage twice, and his pitch was way off.
Drew sighed. Why was he even thinking about that nerd ? He was as thin as a stick, as pale as a ghost and… oh, there he went again.
He shook his head. Back to Paul. The guy could be a real insensitive brute sometimes – well, most of the time.
Drew was real damned sarcastic, but Paul was more like a bug that kept on clinging to your t-shirt and wouldn't let go. Not to mention he LOVED to pick on Dawn. But actually, Bryan was more like… a bug with seven hairy legs, six eyes, three noses with slime drooling from them and ears that looked as if they were scrunched up little balls of paper.
Drew sighed for the umpteenth time. BACK TO PAUL.
"Speaking of Paul, where the devil is he ?" Drew wondered. If he didn't appear soon, they would be late for class. And no matter how much of a jerk or a brute he could be, he was never EVER late for class.
Then suddenly, a scream was heard. It was Dawn's. Followed by May's.
Wait a minute… May's scream ?!
Without thinking twice, Drew dashed off towards where the screams came from.
The shock was all too much. There, on the floor, lay the lifeless body of Dawn's older sister, Katie. Dead.
May: (shivering) Now THAT is what I call scary…
Drew: I guess you could say that May…
Brendan: What was your favourite part ?
Drew: My favourite part was when I kept on reminiscing when Bryan was still in 4th Grade and did his first ever performance…
Me: Me too !
May: High five !
Brendan: I agree.
Me: Bryan was so humiliated. Hah ! REVIEW !!
