Well, today's my birthday, so I'm going to update! This also happens to be my favorite shipping! Contestshipping! :D
Anyhoo, let's start the chapter!
Chapter 20
May's POV
I felt like I was weightlessly floating through air aimlessly. I felt trapped at the same time, though. When I tried breaking out and stretching some kind of invisible force held me back. I felt like I was struggling against nothing.
"Ugh, this is so unfair!" I said folding my arms across my chest.
Drew's POV
May's friends all left to their homes. Misty stayed an extra 30 minutes, but eventually left me with her. I stared at May. Was she moving? I rushed to her side and saw her struggling. I started brushing her hair. Her eyelids slowly fluttered opened revealing her sky blue eyes.
"May?" I said relieved.
"Drew, is that you? Where am I?" She said getting up weakly.
"You're in the hospital." I said helping her up.
"Why?" She muttered.
"Well, you fainted." I said recapping the incident.
"Really, what happened?" She said as her eyes widened.
"Well, my father or should I say Dionysus, took over your body. I'm still not sure why, but that's what happened and I guess when he left your body you passed out from exhaustion." I said resenting my father even more than I thought possible.
"Wow, just one question, who's Dionysus?" She said tilting her head.
"You know, May, for a demigod you sure don't know your gods." I teased.
"Hey! I was just wondering!" She said defending herself. 'Well, at least she's fine.'
"If you must know, May, he's the god of wine." I said smugly.
"Wine? Well, that's weird." She said.
"May, you're one strange girl." I said calmly waiting for May's protest.
"Hayden, you are so asking for it." She said gritting her teeth.
"Asking for what?" I said smirking. She got up and pounced on me.
"Don't you dare make me." She said angrily.
"I always knew I was irresistible, but this is a little bit too far, don't you think." I said smirking.
May blushed realizing the position we were in. I chuckled at her expression. She got off of me. I was slightly disappointed.
"So, why are you here? Not that I mind it's just I expected my friends to be here." She said breaking the awkward silence.
"Oh, so I'm not your friend?" I said dramatically placing my hand on my chest with a hurt expression. She giggled at me.
"No, you are my friend!" May said in a panicky way.
"Heh, good." I said flipping my hair.
"Why do you do that?" May asked.
"You mean flip my hair? Well, I do it because I want to." I said.
"Okay?" May said. She must've been still tired because her legs caved in. I reached out and caught her before she could reach the floor.
"You know, you might want to sit down." I said helping her up (again).
"Heh, thanks." She said sitting on the white hospital bed.
"No problem." I said flipping my hair (again).
May's POV
I was actually surprised to see Drew here instead of my friends. Speaking of my friends where were they?
"Hey, Drew, where are my friends because I'm pretty sure they would've been worried about me." I said lying down on the bed.
"They're sleeping at their houses, where else?" He said arrogantly.
"Then why'd you stay?" I questioned. I rolled over to look at him. His face was slightly red.
"Your friends made me." He said lying.
"You know, Drew, you're a really bad liar." I said laughing at his uneasy expression.
"Yeah, I figured even you wouldn't take that lie." He said regaining his cockiness.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I said angrily.
"Nothing." He replies smirking.
"You are the most arrogant, self-conceited, cu-." I cut myself off.
"What was that?" He said putting his hand to his ear.
"I wasn't talking to you." I replied.
"Oh, yeah, then who were you talking to?" His smirk grew wider than before.
"I was talking to the um plant, yeah the plant." I said nervously.
"You're a bad liar too, you know?" He said flipping his hair.
"Well, how do you know I wasn't talking to myself?" I replied hotly.
"I thought you were talking the plant." He said sarcastically.
"Urgh!" I said angrily.
"Calm down, Maple." He said grinning.
"Why are you calling me by my last name?" I said confused.
"Well, I'm off." He said walking away. He tosses me a blood red thorn less rose. I catch it. I stare at the rose as if I were waiting for something to happen.
Drew's POV
'Why did I stay longer than the others?' I pondered over the question while I walked home. I breathed out and shivered.
"It's gotten colder." I said wrapping my arms around myself. I was passing through the forest when I thought I heard some eerie sound. I walked toward the possible paranormal activity. I peeked through some bushes. It was just a nymph, a nature deity.
Her skin was a pale green. Her hair was a sort of mud brown and her clothes were merely flowers and their petals. She was being chased by a satyr, a half goat and half man creature. I shook my head at them and headed home.
My thoughts drifted away to the picture May drew of me. 'Why'd she draw that picture? Is there a chance she could possibly like me?' I told myself that was a 'no'.
When I got back to my house, I was surprised to see Gary there.
"Gary, why are you here?" I said regaining my composure.
"Oh, so you're not happy to see your best friend." He said smirking
"You know that's not what I meant. We have a problem don't we." I said getting out my sword.
"Bingo." He said releasing his sword.
"C'mon let's go." He said running toward the school? I ran after him.
"Care to explain where the monster is?" I said running at the same pace as him.
"If you haven't noticed it's in the school." He said pointing up ahead.
"What the heck is wrong with our school?" I said sighing.
"Hey, that's not the spirit." He said getting ready to charge.
"Pfft, what spirit?" I said doing the same. Gary and I tackled the doors at the same time
"Ouch." Jimmy said behind us. Ash was trying not to laugh and Paul merely rolled his eyes.
"Let's go." I said. We separated and each took a different room. I went into the art room. All I saw was drawings and paintings. Even though there weren't any creatures, I went to observe some paintings. I spotted paintings of people, Pokémon, and a rose? I looked at who signed it. May.
I smiled at it. I took a glance at the next painting. A Telchine? Wait, it was a telchine!
"Crap!" I muttered. The telchine had a dog head and seal flippers for hands. It had a hammer in one hand. I'd be lucky if he possibly didn't want to kill me and destroyed a painting because he wanted to make adjustments to my sword.
"Let me guess, you're not here to help me are you?" I said preparing to strike.
"Yup." He said swinging his hammer at me. I sidestepped too late. It slashed the side of my arm.
"Wow, for a mutt you sure are strong." I said seeing my blood soaked arm.
"I dare you to say that again." He growled.
"Mutt. Mutt. Mutt. Mutt." I said in a sing song voice. He scowled and charged at me. This time I rolled and sliced his head off.
"Good thing you're the only one." I said. Poking it with my emerald sword to make sure it was dead.
"Wait, then what are Gary, Ash, Paul, and Jimmy doing?" I said running out of the room looking for them. I found them all in the same room fighting about a hundred Telchines.
"So much for splitting up." I muttered. I ran over to them slicing heads off Telchines on the way.
"So, how's it going?" I said helping them kill as many Telchines as possible.
"Oh, you know Ash tried eating one of them 'cause he thought it was a 'doughnut' and Jimmy had to pry Ash off a Telchine's head. You know nothing out of the ordinary." He said jokingly.
"Hey, it looked like a doughnut and I was really hungry!" Ash protested.
"Like always." Jimmy said rolling his eyes. His arm had a bite mark from Ash's 'mistake'. Paul summoned his skeleton army to do the work for him, so he just stood there ready to attack any that made it past his army.
"Paul, that's nice. At least try to fight them by yourself." Gary said wagging his finger.
"Fine." He released the souls and they disappeared in a fog of gray smoke.
"That's better." Gary said slicing through a Telchine's chest.
"Let's just get this done with.
An hour later
We left with hardly any injuries. My arm was half cut off and Jimmy had a 'Telchine' bite mark as Ash says.
"I swear my arm's going to be messed up for a year!" I said cleaning out the wound and putting it in a cast.
"At least you weren't mistaken for a doughnut!" Jimmy said wiping 'Telchine' spit off his arm.
"Yeah, that's why you have Ash duty. We all knew Ash would find a way to do something stupid." Gary said laughing at the memory.
"Hey!" Ash protested raising his hand in the air. I rolled my eyes at them, but laughed nonetheless. They eyed me as if I were crazy.
"Something wrong?" Jimmy asked looking at me strange.
"You." I said simply. They looked at me like I was strange again.
"I think he's gone crazy." Ash whispered to Gary.
"Yeah, we seem to have that effect on people." Gary said.
"Yeah, you guys are pretty crazy." I said wiping a faux tear with my pointer finger.
"I agree." Paul said speaking up.
"Well, that's what you get when you became friends with us. A gorgeous and hilarious one, a black hole for a stomach one, an emo one, a hyper one, and a I'm too cool one." Gary said making him sound the best.
"Wow, way to make yourself sound better than us." Jimmy scoffed.
"That's because I am hot and hilarious!" Gary said flexing his muscles.
"You wish." I said rolling my eyes.
"I don't have to wish. I'm hot, hilarious, and I have a girlfriend unlike you guys. Well, Jimmy's isn't official yet, so I'm the only one who's got one." He said acting like he was the king of the world.
"Gary, you are so full of yourself." Jimmy retorted.
"Well, I'm just saying the facts." He said grinning.
"The facts of lalaland?" I replied.
"How come you guys are all against me?" He said dramatically.
"Not all of us. Ash is trying to convince Paul to have a staring contest." Jimmy said chugging down a soda. He started twitching. Then running in circles.
"Oh, Zeus, he's hyper." I said remembering the last time Jimmy was hyper.
"Ash, go get the rope! Paul, uh never mind. Drew, you and I are going to get Jimmy!" Gary yelled. Ash dashed for his bag. Gary and I tried to restrain Jimmy and Paul just watched us like we were all crazy.
"Ash, hurry! I don't think I could last any longer!" I said.
"That's what she said." Gary joked. I rolled my eyes at the perverted joke.
May's POV
I was at my house watching TV. I heard the door open and glanced at who it was. It was Max.
"Hey, Max." I said.
"Hey, so what's up?" he said.
"Nothing much. I'm just tired from today's exhaustion." I said remembering everything that happened that day.
"What'd you do? 'Argue' with Drew?" He said quoting his fingers at 'argue.'
"No, I only argued with him 4 times today!" I said.
"Yeah, right. I bet in a week you're going to say you love him." He said smugly.
"AM NOT!" I blushed; making it obvious I liked him.
"May likes someone! May likes someone! May likes Drew! May likes Drew!" Max ran out the door yelling that. I chased after him. Misty, Leaf, Marina, and Dawn were outside giggling their heads off. I rolled my eyes at them and ran after Max.
"Max, I swear I'm going to kill you!" I felt like yelling 'redrum,' but the neighbors might've thought I was a psychopath. I giggled at the thought. Max was almost out of the neighborhood. Sadly, Drew lived in the next neighborhood.
"Max, come back here!" I yelled. He didn't stop. In fact, he ran faster! 'Ugh, I'm so going to kill him when he gets back here!'
For a little kid he sure could run. I was out of breath before I got there. I glanced up and thought I saw some green before I tried catching my breath again.
Drew's POV
My cell phone was ringing. It was my mom. I answered.
"Hey, mom. What's up?"
"Drew, honey, I think there's a little boy outside our yard screaming 'May likes Drew.'" I blushed.
"Do you want me to come home?"
"If you can get rid of the screaming boy then yes."
"Okay, I'm coming, bye."
"Bye." I told my friends I had to go and left.
At Drew's house No one's POV
Max continued yelling and May couldn't catch him. Drew's mom tried to stop Max from screaming and Drew walked home.
"May likes Drew! May likes Drew! May likes Drew! May likes Drew!" Max yelled.
"Honey, why don't you stop?" She said politely, but annoyed.
"Max, shut it!" May yelled trying to catch a fast Max.
"May likes Drew! May likes Drew! I'm bored. I'm going to go home, bye!" Max said running away from an angry May. May ran after him and Mrs. Hayden was slightly confused.
Drew got home and saw his mom looking confused, but no little boy.
"Hey, mom, where's the screaming boy?" He asked.
"He left with his sister." She said staring at the sidewalk.
"Oh, okay?" He said confused.
Weirdest. Day. Ever.
May's POV
I found out Max had drank a pack of Redbulls after school. Of course, I took all his 'energy devices' and thought of a way to get revenge. I couldn't think of anything good, so I just hid his glasses. Unfortunately he had emergency glasses.
All I know is this was the most embarrassing day ever.
Okay, guys this is my early update gift for you! It's my birthday today, so as a present won't you guys review!
