Second chapter being re-edited. Yay for fast. Please review!

May dribbled the ball skillfully. She passed the two defenders and then she dunked the ball in.

"Awww…" the girls all cried out together in unison.

May giggled at her juniors, who wanted a basketball match with her. And it was easy, despite the fact that there were a few dozen girls against her alone.

"Awww…May, can't you be nice to them for once?" Ash asked. He didn't seem to mind their loss, casually leaning against the tree that provided the meagre shade.

"Well, they DID want me to do my best, right?"

The junior girls nodded their heads simultaneously. Then, they saw a group of guys and immediately ran up to them to practice their flirting skills, and see if the guys notice their abnormally high skirts and high-pitched voices and cute big eyes and their makeup overdose.

The usual stuff.

Ash yawned. "Hey, you wanna go to the café again? I'm dying for some fries!" He lazily picked up the ball and tossed it away.

May sighed. "Okay…let's go…"

And somehow, someone controlling the weather in heaven or whatever you call the afterlife place was sad because his girlfriend dumped him and his mum kicked him out of sun-controlling because he accidentally angered the sun into global warming. So he started to cry and so made rain.

And the worst thing was that only Ash had an umbrella so the two had to cuddle up together and shelter their poor heads from the tears, or what they thought was only rain.

"Ah…sorry for not bringing my own umbrella…"

"It's okay."

Then they continued their trip to the café in complete silence. The duo's shoulders were touching each other throughout the whole trip, but only one of them seemed to notice.

ASH'S POV

I blushed slightly as my arms made full contact with May's. Somehow, May didn't seem affected by this…intimacy…

The whole trip was far too awkward, so when we past by the shopping mall along the way to the café, I halted the brunette.

"Uh…it's getting heavier, so we should just eat here." I said. May nodded.

And then it HAD to happen, on that very day, at that very time…

We were both deciding on whether to eat at Taco Bell or Kentucky Fried Chicken when we entered the shopping mall. Of course I'd choose the latter, it really was literally 'finger-licking good.' But young, sweet, innocent…wait, did I mention May, who is really evil sometimes, retorted sarcastically (and did I mention she had those eyes that reminds me of...kittens?) that Kentucky was a country far away and she didn't want to go there.

"But, Maaaay!" I whined, "It's Kentucky FRIED CHICKEN, not Kentucky the country! They just IMPORTED THE CHICKEN HERE!"

"If I were to eat Singapore noodles, I'd go to Singapore to try it. But not here, in the United States…even though they IMPORTED it, it won't taste as good as in Singapore! So likewise for here, I'd rather go to Kentucky to eat the Kentucky Fried Chicken!"

Good point, I thought. She should join the debate team. But she'll be ranked top in the country for having the most unusual reason for not eating KFC…

And then when she wanted to drag me to Taco Bell, she slipped and sprained her ankle. But she didn't cry though; I would have left a girl there if she sprained her ankle in front of me and started crying. That was the third thing that frightened me, next to bras and nudity. Ugh.

"May, are you okay?" I asked worriedly. Drew would be kicking her ankle tomorrow if he hears about THIS. And Brendan would be writing a story on the incident and posting it on the Internet...if he'd stopped flirting for once.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Just carry me to the bus-stop and that'll do."

I sighed. So much for food. "Sure."

So I pulled her up, slung her arm over my neck like a scarf, and then held her by the waist. She started to limp really seriously, which was freaky, in a way.

Some girls thought it was sweet (since I noticed some boys scowling at me as their girls ramble on about how they should improve), but why?

Ugh. Girls.

"Oi, Ash, you owe me a trip to a Taco Bell outlet."

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Since when? You just ruined my day. I really like chicken, you know."

May looked up at me with a frown. "Sorry," she whispered, as she pulled her lips into a grimace.

I felt this pang of guilt whacking my poor heart. And something else; I couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was because of hunger.

Or not. Hunger doesn't affect the heart. Damn, I should stop contradicting myself.

May sounded really upset that she ruined my day. "Ah, it's not your fault, May. I mean, really. I'm just...hungry. You know the saying; 'A hungry man, is an angry man', right...?"

"I'll...treat you next time?" she asked feebly. I figured the pain was killing her. Again, that weird feeling came about. Hit me in my heart, practically punctured them bad.

I felt her breath on my neck and then I felt my heart stop, taking in her scent.

"Hey, if you don't want that treat, just say so, you know?" May teased, letting out a small laugh before her knee buckled and she found herself sprawled on the floor again.

My heart just squeezed itself.

"U-Uh, you okay? You need a bandage, a massage, something?" I asked frantically. I realised that I mentioned 'massage', which wasn't really good for my pocket.

"Just get me home," she hissed through clenched teeth.

I immediately motioned for her to climb on my back, and then I took a firm grip on her legs. Then, we continued our way to the bus-stop.

The story's supposed to go further, but I think I'm scrapping the bottom part. Do note that the following text below is the previous ending I initially wrote. I don't have much of an idea for this one, so I'll be scrapping this.

THE SECRET, NON-ALTERNATE ENDING TO THE CHAPTER!:

BACK TO THE THIRD PERSON'S POV!

As Ash and May trudged out of the shopping mall, they bumped into someone May knew extremely well. And when we say 'bump', we really mean bump.

Ash saw a woman's figure running towards the two. May widened her eyes in fear.

"Ash, steer clear of the way please!" May panicked.

But Ash was trying REALLY hard not to yell out in horror because there was a CONDOM shop behind her. A condom shop with loads of nude pictures of women. It made Ash squirm alot. Like muscle spasms. A stroke, maybe.

And then the woman bumped into the two.

May and the woman gasped dramatically. "Uh…"

Ash was very confused. "May, do you know her?"

May just cringed.

END OF CHAPTER 2

Ha-ha, try and guess this mystery person! Yup, cliffhanger…

And happy teachers' day to any teacher that so happens to read this. It's 4.10 AM now...
