"May, if you keep texting the battery's going to run out," Brendan said.

"Ah crap!" I exclaimed. "Damn! I forgot to buy a battery charger. Oh wait, I have no money. I think I'll have to ask mom to send me some again. Brendan, when are we going to be at the next city?"

"I think in 3 hours," Brendan told me. I hope he was telling me the truth. I wrapped the black jacket around my body to keep me warmer. I wonder why March is so freezing this year. The jacket got its wonderful smell back thanks to Drew.

"Hmmm," I said. "Is there a contest there?"

"Yeah," Brendan said. "I already asked Nurse Joy before we left. You should thank me."

I grinned. "Thanks Brendan! I never do that stuff. You're the best!" I gave him a quick hug. I saw Brendan's smile when I let go. He patted my head. "I hope I get to see Drew."

Brendan's smile just disappeared when I said that. He kicked a rock and continued to walk down the rocky road. "Brendan?" he ignored me. And yet I thought only teenage girls get mood swings. Maybe Brendan is a mix. Hahaha, sure. I tugged his sleeve. "Excuse me! Don't ignore me. I hate being ignored."

"Sorry," he mumbled. I nodded and we continued walking in silence. How come arguing with Brendan always feels so uneasy?

"What did I do?" I asked him. His ruby eyes just continued to look forward.

After a few minutes, I was suddenly pushed into Brendan's arms and into a hug. "May," Brendan said. "Stop making me so jealous."

"Jealous?" repeated. Now what was Brendan trying to pull? Or what was he talking about? "How?"

"May, please," Brendan said, hugging me tighter. "I love you! Please don't hang out with Drew so much. Please."

"B-Brendan?" I stammered, shocked by his sudden confession. "Let me go."

"No!" he exclaimed. "Never. Please May, forget Drew and only look at me! You should only look at me, May."

I shook my head and pushed Brendan's chest away. Luckily Brendan is a weak person and I pushed him a yard away from me. "Stop it Brendan! Don't separate me from my friends. Drew is my best friend and you have no right to make me be separated from him. You may be my boyfriend, but that doesn't mean you can boss me around. Now stop," I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes. "And don't joke about love; I'd really appreciate it if you take love seriously."

Brendan gave me a light gasp. "What? You think my confession is a lie? I'm serious May! I love you! Can we be a nice, loving couple?" I burst out in laughter. "C'mon May!"

"You need to prove that you love me," I said quietly. "This is my first time a person has confessed to me." My phone started buzzing and I checked the caller ID. It was Drew. "Hold on Brendan, Drew's on the phone." Brendan narrowed his eyes at me as I picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey May," Drew's voice said. "Why'd you cut our conversation?"

"Oh sorry," I said. "I was just afraid the battery would—hey! Brendan!" Brendan just snatched my cell phone away from me. He held it to his mouth and started to speak.

"Listen Drew," Brendan said. "I just confessed to May. I love her. Stay away and stop talking to May!"

"Brendan!" I yelled. He hung up on Drew before I could snatch it away from him. I glared at him and slapped him on the cheek. Oh, how I've been waiting for this moment. "What are you doing?"

He glared back and rubbed his cheek. "I just told Drew to stay away from you."

"How does that help anything?" I yelled.

"Sorry," he mumbled again.

"I don't need your apologies! Something's wrong with you!" I yelled again.

"Can't you see I'm jealous?" he exclaimed.

"No!" I yelled. "You're just trying to get me away from my friends because you hate me so much."

"I don't hate you at all!" Brendan said, his face turning red from anger. "Can't you see I love you? Can you see I'm jealous? I hate it when I see you and Drew so happily together but when you're with me I'm either embarrassing myself or we're fighting!" I bit my lip. That's because we don't get along at all.

"You love me?" I said slowly. "I thought that was a joke. You seriously love me?"

He nodded slowly. "Yes, I love you."

"Everything about me?" I asked. He nodded again.

"So," he says. "Please go out with me seriously," he bowed. Oh my gosh he's bowing. He's serious. There's a boy in the world who actually loves. I stood there speechless until he asked me another question. "Will you love me back May?"

I knew I was blushing because my face was really warm. "You…" I said. "Need to make me love you. You've got to make me fall in love with you." He nodded.

"Just remember that I love you May," he said. Brendan turned around and we continued our journey to the next town in silence.

Every time I try to look at him he looks at me back and our eyes meet. That just makes me blush and turn away. Do I actually love him? I shook my head. That's silly. No. No I do not like him. Never in my life will I have a tiny crush on Brendan.

But why is my heart beating so loudly when I'm with him?

"Can we take a break now?" I ask, breaking the silence. It feels like we've been walking for a day. "How long have we been walking?"

"We've been walking for three hours already, so we… see, you can see the town now," Brendan said.

"Wanna run?"

"No," I said, yawning. "I'm tired."

He shrugged. "Whatever. Race you to the Pokemon Center." And he ran.

"Hey!" I yelled, running after him. "I don't even know where the Pokemon Center is!" Brendan ignored me and ran to the city. "I bet you don't even know where it is!" He ignored me again so I assumed that he also doesn't know where it is. Brendan went left and I went right. I kept running… until I bumped into something—or someone. "Ow," I said. I just ran into a guy's back with my face. "I'm so sorry; I'm in a hurry because I'm doing a race with someone please excuse me!"

"May, it's okay," the guy said. Wait. What?

I grinned. "Drew?"

"You racing with Brendan?" he asked. I nodded. "Where are you heading?"

"The Pokemon Center," I answered. "Can you help me find it?"

"Of course," he said, smirking. "Because it's right in front of you, May." He pointed to the right and I turned my head to the direction. Not to my surprise, it was there.

"Psh," I said, annoyed. "Why are you always right? It pisses my off."

Drew flipped his hair. "What can I say? It comes naturally."

"Anyways, I think I should go in the Pokemon Center," I said. "Or else I'll lose. And no way am I losing to Brendan." Drew laughed. I walked into the Pokemon Center with Drew following me. I greeted Nurse Joy and Drew and I went to go sit down on some couches in the lobby.

"So is the phone good?" he asks. "I assume you forgot to buy something."

"Why didn't you remind me?" I whined. He went to his backpack and took out a charger. "Thanks. You bought one while we were at the Pokemart?"

"No," he said. "After Brendan hung up on me, I went to buy you a charger. You said something about battery, right?"

I grinned. "Thanks a lot, Drew." I gasped, remembering what Brendan did to Drew earlier today. "I'm so sorry what Brendan did to you on the phone, he was pissed because I was making him jealous or something when I'm with you." I shrugged. "He probably just wants to separate me from my friends.

He shook his head. "Nope, I think he's actually jealous. He likes you."

"What?" I exclaimed. "No way. I thought that was a joke!"

"Well it's not," he says. "Brendan really has a crush on you."

"That's too bad," I said, rolling my eyes. "He says he's going to make me fall for him."

"Will you?" Drew asks, smirking. "Little naïve May is finally going to fall in love."

"No!" I yelled. "I will someday, but not with him."

"May!" a voice said. It was obviously Brendan. Here I am, having a nice chat with Drew, and Brendan comes to ruin it. Brendan's probably… A: walk up to me, drag me away and yell at me or B: walk up to us and yell at Drew. Or C: Something I am not expecting. Brendan walked over to us and glared at me. It's A.

Brendan turned around and yelled, "Why are you always talking to May?" Never mind, it's B. Brendan turned around to grab my hand, or maybe it's A after all. He turned back to me and glared.

Then, he kissed me.

Maybe it's C after all.

The end for this chapter. Please review! Remember that the black jacket is something important in the story. Just reminding you.

Please review my other story 'Mine' and give me more ideas. I don't know what to do before they have the next kid.
