Mmkay. Thanks for reviewing. ;)

Media has been getting really annoying. Brendan didn't bother helping me or telling the media that we're dating. He would just walk silently by my side. We were still in the city because Brendan said he had something to do. "Okay Brendan. Tell me why we're still here?"

"My dad video phoned me," he said.

"And…" I said, crossing my arms.

"Dad sent my friend over to watch me," Brendan muttered.

"How much longer till that person gets here?" I asked.

He shrugged. "About now."

"BRENDAN!" a girlish voice squealed. I looked up to see a girl with wavy, long dark brown hair, green eyes and pale skin. Let's just say she was a beauty. The girl blushed and hugged him. "I missed you so much!" I raised an eyebrow at Brendan, who was blushing madly.

"Hi Cindy," he said, patting her head. "I missed you too."

The girl, Cindy, let go and glanced at me. "So how have you been doing, Brendan?"

Brendan bit his lip and looked at me for a second. "Good. Why did my dad send you here?"

"I told him I was lonely without you with me," the girl pouted. "So then he told me that he'll send me to you! I was so happy!"

"Yeah?" Brendan said. "Anyways, I want you to meet…my girlfriend." Cindy took her arms back and looked at me.

She stared at me and threw her hair behind her shoulder. "You mean this slut?"

Nice.

"Hey watch it," Brendan said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I smiled at him. "This is May Maple. May, this is Cindy Renay. She's my childhood friend. Cindy's a Pokemon artist."

"Artist?" I ask. I looked at her and saw a large sketchbook in her bag that was sticking out. "Well, of course. I see the sketchbook." Brendan laughed.

"So?" Cindy asked. "I can't believe that this person is Brendan's girlfriend."

I shrugged. "I can't believe you're here."

Cindy rolled her eyes. "Anyways Brendan, you should know that this girl is cheating on you. She's dating that Drew Hayden."

Brendan shook his head. "That's a lie." My cell phone started ringing again.

"Hello?" I said.

"May! Hey!" the voice said.

I grinned. "Ash? Is that you?"

"Yep!" he said. "If you're wondering, I got your number from—"

"I know, I know," I said. "Dawn told me about it."

"Anyways, don't forget to add me to your contact list," Ash said. "So what's up?"

"Traveling, coordinating, the usual stuff," I said.

Cindy snorted. "See Brendan? Look! She's on the phone with a guy!"

"Cindy, Ash is May's friend," Brendan said. "Chill."

"Ash I'm busy at the moment," I said. "Bye."

"'Kay!" Ash said. "Talk to you later!"

"Yep, bye!" I said. I hung up. I went to his number and added it to my contact list. "Well," I said. "Now that the person's here, do we go now Brendan?"

Brendan sighed. "I think… Cindy is traveling with us now."

"Okay…" I said. I don't really like her. She's so rude; she should be much more polite. Although she's a beauty, that girl should have some manners. "I don't mind."

"Sorry May," Brendan said.

"You should be happy that you're with me Brendan!"Cindy whined, clinging onto Brendan's arm. I laughed at her. "What?" Cindy said to May sharply.

I shook my head. "Nothing, you're just kind of amusing me," I said, Cindy glared at me. "Let's go now!"

"Cindy, can you please let go of my arm?" Brendan said, trying to get his arm back from her. Cindy shook her head.

"I want to be as close as you as possible!" Cindy exclaimed. "By the way May, are you a coordinator?" I nodded. "Well the town we're going to doesn't have a contest—do you want to see my battle with the coordinator?"

I shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

"Brendan already got that leader's badge," Cindy said.

"Okay," I said. I don't really care, to be honest. Cindy tugged Brendan's arm.

"Let's go now!" Cindy said. I saw Brendan roll his eyes and we left the city.

"Cindy, did you get this badge yet?" Brendan asked.

Cindy shook her head. "Not yet." [A/N: REMEMBER, I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HOENN. I'M NOT SO GOOD WITH THE MAPS AND STUFF, OKAY?] "Ready Wallace?"

The old man nodded. "Of course." Brendan and I walked to the seats.

"Careful Cindy," he yelled. "Wallace is pretty hard."

The referee nodded. "This battle between Cindy Renay and Wallace will be one on one!" the referee was a boy who was probably 6 years old. How cute. "Ready, go!"

"Go Minun!" she yelled, throwing a Pokeball.

"Milotic, go," Wallace said calmly.

"Quick attack!" she commanded. The small and cute mouse quickly ran to Milotic, who was probably 15 times bigger than Minun.

"Dodge Milotic," Wallace said. "Use Aqua Ring."

"Hit em with Thunderbolt!" Cindy yelled. Minum hit every attack with Thunderbolt, and finally it hit Milotic.

Wallace took a deep breath. Cindy smirked, knowing that she was winning. "Spark!"

"Dodge," Wallace said.

"Oh no you don't," Cindy mumbled, tossing her long brown hair over her shoulder. "Agility!" it was a perfect hit. "Swift!"

"Safeguard," Wallace called out.

"Quickly!" Cindy yelled. "Do thunder!"

And she won.

I stood there, not knowing what to say. She was… amazing. Ash was still better; but Cindy was probably better than Gary. And Brendan. Even Paul. She's a brat and everything but… why's she such a good trainer? I stared at her and she turned to me and smiled.

Is she bragging? It's not like a care; I'm a coordinator not a trainer. Maybe Cindy should give some tips to Max.

"She never changes," Brendan mumbled.

I raised an eyebrow. It kind of pissed me off that Brendan knew so much about her. "What do you mean?" I asked, wanting to know more.

"She loves showing off," he answered. "She only has a mom who loves Pokemon. Cindy and her mom always played with Pokemon. Minum was her first Pokemon and they're best friends." I nodded. Hopefully I'm not jealous. No freaking way I am.

"Brendan!" Cindy yelled. "Come over here!"

I looked at Brendan and he waved. It's good that he didn't go there immediately. "You coming to May?" he asked.

"She was calling you, not me," I told him, laughing. Brendan rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand.

"Come on May," he said. "Don't be depressed."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "Like hell I am." Cindy stared at us, eyes dull.

"What's up Cindy?" he asked when we walked up to him. My cheeks were burning because his hand was still tightly around mine. Cindy's eyes were on me, and yes, there were daggers in her eyes.

"Look at my new badge!" Cindy exclaimed, turning to Brendan with a cute smile. "Now I only need one more badge to have them all!"

"Good job," Brendan said.

"How many ribbons do you have May?" she asked.

"I have four," I said to her. "Like you, I only need one more ribbon." I smiled at her. "Your battle was awesome, you're really strong. Have you ever battled Ash yet?"

"Nah," Cindy said like she wasn't interested.

"You children," Wallace said. "Can you please leave so we can clean the gym?"

"Sure," Brendan said. We walked out of the building with Brendan's hand still on mine. Cindy glared at me, grabbing Brendan's hand. I let go and he smiled at me.

"Hey Cindy," I said. "Are you Brendan's cousin?"

Cindy narrowed her eyes. "No, I'm his childhood friend," she said. Then she mumbled: "hopefully soon-to-be-girlfriend." I raised an eyebrow at her and she rolled her eyes at me.

.oOo.

I didn't even want to talk about Cindy while we were traveling. I felt like nothing mostly because Brendan and Cindy were having their own conversations.

Is this what they call… being jealous?

When I started to talk, Cindy would just start another conversation with Brendan. Brendan would always give me looks to ask if I was okay, but I just smiled at him so he knew I was fine. "Umm…" I started.

"Brendan!" Cindy interrupted. "Have you ever tried my mom's brownies? They're delicious!"

"Cindy," Brendan said, trying to withdraw his arm from her. "May was in the middle of speaking. Didn't I already teach you not to be rude?" she pouted.

"Meanie!" Cindy said. She clutched onto his arm and my heart thumped loudly, it hurt.

"What were you saying May?" Brendan asked.

"How many more minutes until we get there?" I asked, not knowing to say.

Cindy rolled her eyes. "May, you asked the same thing last time."

"My goodness, was I not allowed to?" I mocked.

"Shut up," Cindy said, giving me evil eyes.

"Just a few," Brendan answered. I nodded and he gave a worried look.

"I'm fine," I mouthed to him. He nodded, not convinced.

When we finally made it, Cindy stopped walking. "What's wrong?" Brendan asked.

"I want to talk to you Brendan," she started and looked over at me. "Just us, no one else. Is that fine if we just leave May for a while?"

"Cindy," Brendan said. "We travel together and—"

"It's fine Brendan," I interrupted. "You guys mean a lot to each other and haven't seen each other for a long time. Go on, I'll be fine."

Brendan sighed. "You sure May?" he asked. I nodded. "Alright then." He walked over to me and pecked my cheek, I flushed and I felt evil eyes from someone. "Meet you at the Pokemon Center okay?"

"Gotcha," I said, waving. I walked away, not wanting to see Cindy flirt with Brendan.

I saw next to a nearby bench and sat down. My cell phone buzzed. "Hello?"

"Hey May," the voice said—Drew. "It's Drew."

"I know," I said.

"I just saw Brendan walk off with a brown haired girl," he said. "Are you okay with that?"

I sighed. "I know. That's Cindy, Brendan's childhood friend." I looked up to see Drew in front of me. I narrowed my eyes at him and hung up. "Why the heck did you call me?"

Drew laughed. "Sorry May. It's not like we're wasting any minutes, we have the same phone company."

"So what?" I said, laughing. He sat down next to me.

"The girl's flirting with him," Drew said.

"I know," I said.

Drew gave me a look. "Then why didn't you stop her?" I didn't answer. "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it." I laughed. "What?"

"Nothing," I said. "It's just funny you're all of a sudden so nice."

"What's wrong with being nice?" Drew asked, smirking.

"Nothing," I said again. "Just saying."

Drew took a rose (from nowhere again) and handed it to me. "To cheer you up," he said.

I blushed and took in, out fingers touching for a second. I felt electricity when my fingers touched his…haha, maybe it's just my imagination. "Thanks Drew. You're the best."

He nodded and patted my head. "I know."

Hmm… this is starting to get epic. Brendan's off with Cindy while May's off with Drew? Isn't that just perfect? Stupid Drew, why didn't you make a move on her just now? D: you're so slow.

Wow, I'm on chapter 15 and Drew and May aren't together yet. That's terrible.
