Hello awesome readers guess who's back! Thanks to everyone who reviewed last chapter i love you guys! Well on with the show...
May's P.O.V.
"Hey May why don't we go for a walk. We could get caught up since we haven't seen each other in a long time." I wonder how many years it's really been. Okay so he said that he stopped after his third region. That would match up to me after the Johto Region. Wait, except that he's a year older than me so it would have been after Kanto. Now I'm about to enter my sixth region so it's…
"May it's been seven years, you can stop trying to figure it out now." He was laughing as he said it. I don't blame him. Duh! I'm going to be sixteen this year and he left when I was still nine so it is seven years. What the heck was I trying to do before going by regions? No wonder Drew thinks I'm an airhead; I can't even do basic math right! Somehow he can still win even though he's not even here! I shook my head. This is getting to be ridiculous.
"Psh, I wasn't trying to figure out how many years it's been. Now what would give you that idea?" I even sound like I'm spacey. Or just a really bad cover upper. Okay by the end of this new region I am going to know how to lie efficiently.
"I know you better than that, we grew up together in case you forgot. Plus you're a really bad liar." See? My childhood best friend even says I suck at lying! This is a very, very sad day.
"So how about that walk? Because that sounded really good to me." Subject change! As soon as possible please!
We walked out of the greenhouse and ran into Max and Dad fighting about something. By the looks of it they were spying into the greenhouse too. Why would they be looking from outside if they could just oh… my brain must be taking a nap or something because they're so obviously spying on me! Well, not very well since they haven't noticed I'm not in there anymore. I turned to Brendan and signaled for him to stay quiet and follow my lead. As we crept closer I could hear what they were saying.
"I bet twenty bucks that she likes Drew." Oh this was going to be an embarrassing and awkward conversation to bust in on. I wonder… is this what every family's like? Going around spying on each other and all that kind of stuff? Somehow I highly doubt it.
"Okay son, I bet twenty dollars that-" Okay he's not going to have the chance to finish that sentence! Because the name that is going to finish his sentence is standing right behind me! Plus no need to make Brendan feel all awkward afterwards in a conversation that would go like this:
him-so you like me? Me-no my dad just said that because he wants me to like you. Him-so you don't like me? Me-no, I'm actually crushing on my long time rival who I can actually never stop thinking about. Him-okay I'm leaving now bye. Me-…
As you can see this is a very bad/awkward conversation even in my brain.
"Were you guys spying on me!" They both turned and gawked at me. Haha I caught you! Can you spell dead? D-E-A-D!
"No sweetie we were just um… training! Yah that's it we were training." I rolled my eyes. In my head I sang: oh you two are busted! B-U-S-T-E-D busted! On repeat.
"Oh really? Then where's all of the Pokémon?" I accused them. Max sweat dropped. Be afraid little brother, be very afraid. I may not be a Soledad when I get angry, but she's taught me a few new tricks last region and I'm just dying to test them out. Cue evil smile!
"Dad you really shouldn't open your mouth to speak ever." He whispered to dad. I agree 100% with that statement, especially when Drew gets here and he's going to want to kill him. He can learn to keep his comments to himself!
"Now you tell me. Okay we need an excuse to leave." He whispered back. Um, there is no excuse in the world that could get you two out of this one! And there is only one person on this planet that could stop me and he just so happens to not be here at the moment.
"I can still hear you!" what are you both stupid or something? I'm right here!
"Um, Max and I have to go do our training for the day now bye!" he grabbed Max's arm and started sprinting into the woods. That's right you better run!
I turned to face Brendan and saw that he just got off of his pokédex with someone. Funny, I didn't hear his ring. Am I really that spacey? Or maybe he just pretended to be on the pokédex with someone so he could pretend like he didn't just see my temper tantrum. Nah, I really don't think he's creative enough to do that. Drew, on the other hand, would totally do something like that. Wait a second, Drew did do that to me before!
"Look May that was my dad. Something happened at the lab and he wants me home right away." I blinked. What perfect timing Professor Birch. I wonder what happened that was so urgent, but it's none of my business so I won't ask.
"Okay, I guess I'll see you around then." I just smiled and waved.
"Wait before I go I have to tell you something." Um, okay then?
"What is it?" I wonder what he wants to say.
"I um like you." Stop the press! This just got ten times more awkward then it ever needed to be! And to think that earlier I thought he had a girlfriend! Boy was I wrong. Seriously how can you have a crush on me when I haven't seen you in seven years!
"Oh, I like you too Brendan you're my best friend in the whole world." Yah, I'm going to play the stupid card right now and maybe he'll drop this conversation and just leave because I really don't want to have this talk. Imagine what would happen if I slipped and said something about Drew! The embarrassment!
"No I mean I like you as in I have a crush on you." God, he couldn't have just said oh nothing, it was nothing? Really? I mean come on just my rotten luck! Brendan you have failed me.
Oh dear this is uncomfortable! Now how do you tell your best friend that you don't like him back because you're crushing on a certain green haired, emerald eyed, rival? Wait do I like Drew like that? Hm… I'm almost positive that I do. But what if it's just one of those childhood crush things? Boy I hope it's not because Drew got even more amazing looking since he hit puberty. I wonder if he likes me back. I hope he does, but what if he doesn't? Now that would be an awkward conversation. I really hope he likes me. Then I would really feel like a princess. Now what was I doing before I got distracted by Drew thoughts? Hm… think May! Oh right back to Brendan. Poor guy, he just told me he has a crush on me and here I am busy thinking about Drew. I'm going to have to work on controlling that.
"I'm sorry Brendan, but I just don't like you that way." That was a nice way to put it. No need to tell him I like Drew? Yah I better leave Drew out of this, at least for now.
"I just had to tell you before you left again. I guess I understand. Friends?" Aw! He looks so sad! Oh, I feel bad now, but it's not my fault that I don't like him right? At least… I don't think it's my fault. God I hope it's not, but if it is then I somehow indirectly blame Drew for it.
"Forever." Being friends with guys is way easier than being more than friends. Look at me and Drew, I'm not even sure what we are anymore. Yah, we're traveling companions and rivals and really close friends and definitely possibly more than friends. So where do I stand with him? I have no fricking clue. I just wish he would ask me out already so we would have a title. That way when people ask me who he is I can just say my boyfriend, instead of my friend/rival. You wouldn't believe how many people give you a funny face when you say that.
"I'll see you around May." He started walking away but stopped and turned around. "Be sure to tell him, whoever he is, that he's a lucky guy to have you." With that he walked off into the distance. How is it possible that everyone knows I like Drew? I never even see Brendan and he knew! Wait! Maybe he can read my thoughts! Oh, that would be really bad. But I don't think that he can read my mind at least I hope not. I'm probably just bad and hiding my emotions. Yah, that's it! Note to self learn how to lie better. ASAP!
Max's P.O.V. (spying on May (again) with Norman in a tree)
"Ha! I told you she doesn't like Brendan! Pay up!" I whispered. That's right keep walking down that road Brendan!
"I still don't see why?" he whispered back. Isn't it completely obvious? It's a four letter word. Starts with a d and ends with rew.
"It's because she likes Drew." I knew it.
"Why would she like a boy who has green hair?" I'll give you that one. Green hair is a bit weird.
"Well why would she like Brendan? He has silver hair!"
"He's a grass head!"
"But Brendan is a snow head! Snow is cold making him a cold person. I win so pay up already!" Come on old man give it up already!
We were both getting so worked up over this that we fell out of the tree and landed right in front of May. We really should pick better hiding spots.
"Were you two spying on me AGAIN! Just wait until I tell Mom." She spun around and walked off towards the house. We turned and looked at each other and ran after her.
"May please don't tell mom!" I don't want to get grounded and have to start my journey a month late!
"Sweetie you don't really want to get your Dad in trouble, do you?"
"You should have thought about this before you decided to spy on me." True, but I wanted to find out some stuff. It was worth it… kind of. Oh shit what am I going to do now!
"Hey May I'm here!" called a voice from the sky. Yes! It was Drew riding on Flygon's back. I mentally thanked him for possibility saving my life from my sister's and mother's wrath.
"Yay! Drew you're back!" shouted May. He hopped off of Flygon's back before he touched down trying to look cool. And he did, until May tackled him in a hug.
"Um… I missed you too May?" He looked a little uncertain of what to say. I don't blame the guy. One wrong move and all that previous anger will be directed at him.
"Well, you better have!" she said playfully.
"And this is for you." He handed her a single white thorn less rose.
"Why thank you." She twirled the rose a few times with her hand and frowned.
"What's wrong, you don't like it?" Poor Drew, he should have stuck with red roses.
"No, don't be silly, I love it. I'm just wondering why it's white instead of red."
"Well then it'll give you something to contemplate… or something for you to look up later."
"Did I just hear May's boyfriend?" questioned Caroline as she walked out of the house. "Oh look I was right! It is Drew!" She had one of her over hyper happy smiles on. Now I was scared of Mom more than May.
"Mom! Drew is not my boyfriend!" May whined, but the pink blush spreading across her face was a dead giveaway she was lying. Oh, I so won the bet. Now what to buy with my newly obtained twenty bucks?
"Yah, she just wishes that I'm into her like that," Drew smirked and did his signature hair flick. What is with this guy and touching his hair? I thought girls were the ones who played with their hair. Whatever, if May's into that kind of thing I will just have to deal with it. Better start now than after they get married…
