Ash had thought of May as a great friend, and never really thought of her as anything more. "I'm not really sure… I never really thought about that stuff," Ash told Richie. Ash knows May is amazing and is always cheering for her, but he is like that with all his friends. He didn't know what to say to her. This was so sudden for Ash and he wasn't sure how to handle it.
"You should probably start thinking about it more now, Ash," Richie told him. Ash said nothing as he stared into the ground. Richie sighed as he watched Ash. But then Jessie and James caught their attention. They were both sneaking around looking for May.
"What are you doing?" Richie asked.
"It's none of your business, twerp," Jessie said. After that they ran off.

Gary turned around and glared at him, but then the bell signaling one minute till class rang again. The kids around them hassled to their classes, but Gary and Blue didn't care about getting there on time.
"Of course I'm not copying you. I wouldn't waste my time," Gary said. After that Gary left. Blue glared at him with his arms crossed. That guy really pisses him off. Blue decides that he'll show him after school is over. After the bell rang again, Blue left for class. Once he arrived at class, he casually walked in and sat down. The teacher turned around, and it was professor Rowan.
"You're late," he told Blue.
"Whatever," Blue replied. Rowan let out a sigh and then explained to him the importance of being of time, though Blue didn't really listen to a word of it.
"Right then, time for roll call." Everyone seemed to be here except… "May… May are you here?"
"Oh no! Where could May be?" Ash wondered.

It was lunch time and May still couldn't be found. So Ash thought it would be a good time to look for her. Ash started searching franticly everywhere, but then accidently bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry. I-!" When Ash looked up and saw who it was, he couldn't believe his eyes. They both looked at each other with surprise. Then Ash quickly got up and shrugged it off. "I'm looking for a friend. Her name is May. Seen her around?" Red shook his head "Man, where could she be?" Ash thought about it. Then he noticed Drew. "Hey Drew!" Ash waved at him. When he turned around, he saw both Ash and Red with a slight shock on his face.
"Ash had a brother?" Drew wondered.
"Hey Drew, have you seen May anywhere?"
"No."
"Well, she hasn't been in any of her classes, so can you help me find her?"
"I'll see." Then Drew left.
"Really…" Then Ash faced Red again. "Anyways, I'm Ash. Who are you?"
"Red…"
"What a weird name," Ash said. "Well, nice to meet yea! Would you like to help me find May?"
"Sure…"
"Alright! Thanks! Let's get going!" Ash then dashed off again.

"What's May up to?" Drew thought. Drew scanned the whole cafeteria, but he didn't see her at all. He wouldn't admit it, but he was really worried about her. Drew wondered if it was all the rumors that scared her off. The whole letter thing didn't really seem that funny to him. In fact, it irritated him that people were making such a big deal out of it. He also wondered why she would even like Ash, since they haven't spoken to each other much. There's also the fact that Ash is a reckless idiot who acts like he knows everything, in Drew's opinion. He wouldn't say he's jealous or anything, just that he doesn't understand. Drew then started to look outside. May was nowhere out there ether. Drew stuffed his hands in his pockets and then started to walk around the school. Then she suddenly saw her. May looked pretty sad.
"May!" he shouted. She stopped moving turned away from him.
"What is it, Drew," May said. She sounded very upset.
"Heard you were skipping class, so I thought you were doing something stupid." May huffed.
"Anyways, Ash is looking for you." Drew then continued to walk away with a frown. Drew always thought she was pretty smart and cute, but he also took his contest seriously too. But now if May really does likes Ash…

Red kept his distance and watched Ash shouted everywhere for her. In some classrooms, the library, the, girls bathrooms, everywhere he shouted for May. Red just kept his distance as he watched him with a frown.
"What an idiot…" he thought.
"Hey Ash!" May shouted. Ash turned around and saw her.
"May!" They ran towards each other. "I was so worried!"
"I'm sorry Ash. I didn't mean to worry you…" May looked away with a blush.
"Listen May, you're a great friend, and I want us to stay that way, okay?"
"I guess you heard about my letter…" May looked away, but then looked back at him with a smile. "Well, I'm fine with being your friend Ash. I'm glad our friendship didn't get ruined over the letter."
"Same."
"Hey, have you gotten anything to eat yet?"
"No, I haven't."
"Well, then let's hurry before we miss out!"
"Yeah!" They both ran to the cafeteria. "So May, where did you go?" May stopped in her tracks and had a worried look on her face.
"Listen Ash, just a little warning. Don't skip classes."
"Huh?" Ash looked at her with a confused look.
"Trust me."
"Okay…" Then they ran to the cafeteria and scarfed down some food. "Hey…" Ash looked around.
"What is it Ash?"
"There was a guy that was helping me find you, and I forgot to thank him."
May sighed. "Ash, I wonder about you sometimes." Jessie and James sat down at their table and grinned.
"What do you want?" Ash shouted.
"So, this is Ash this time," Jessie said. Then they both laughed, along with the people around them. May looked away from everyone.
"Hey, leave her alone!"
"Aww. Is the amazing and sweet guy getting protective of his girlfriend?" Ash was starting to get angry.
"She's just my friend!"
Jessie laughed. "It seems it wasn't meant to be!" Then Jessabelle appeared and tackle-hugged James.
"Help me!" James screamed.
"James isn't it nice to see me again?" Jessabelle asked.
"No!"
"Oh, you're so silly!"
Everybody started laughing at James now. Jessie just left and went to tell everybody the news about May.

Red sighed as he ate his lunch.
"It has been a busy day, hasn't it, Red?" Daisy said.
"Weird is more like it!" Blue said. Red nodded in agreement. "I mean, how did that Gary guy made people believe he's professor Oak's grandson?" Daisy shrugged.
"That is very strange. Also, I've been getting accused of lying when I said I was his granddaughter." Daisy put her hand in her check with her elbow on the table and sighed. She still couldn't believe how mean so many where to her when she said that. Though lucky, Red and Blue helped her out with that.
"Wow, that's crazy! But wait, what happened to Red?" Leaf asked. Daisy explained to her what happened with the whole letter incident.
"Man, that girl wasn't very bright," Blue said.
"That sounds so embarrassing…" Leaf said. The bell rang signaling that lunch was over. Everyone started to get up and leave to get to class.

It was the end of the school at last and everybody was getting their things together to go see where they were to stay for school. May walked slowly with her head down. She never thought things could go so sour for a top coordinator, and just because of a stupid letter. Then she put her head up.
"I shouldn't let this get to me! I've been through worst things than this!" she told herself. Then she saw Drew.
"So Ash rejected you huh?" Drew said. Jessie had gotten the word around fast.
"Yep, but it's no big deal…" May said. Though May says that and does want Ash to be happy, she at least wished that Ash feels the same so the whole thing wouldn't be as bad, and she would have someone to hold on to. Drew put a hand on her shoulder.
"Everyone will be over this after a while."
She smiled and said, "Right, thanks Drew." Then she decided to change the subject. "You and your Pokémon were great during the Hoenn contest tournament!"
"Of Couse! We did win it after all!"
"Though you were lucky I was in the Sinnoh torment, because I would've beaten you for sure!"
"Oh really? How about we see whose better in a contest match once we arrive at the place we are going to?"
"Deal and if I win, you have to buy me dinner."
"And if I win, you'll have to do my homework for me." He said with a smirk.
"Well I know that won't happen, so you got a deal Drew!" May has now forgotten all about the whole letter thing. She now couldn't wait for the free meal she was getting from Drew.
