Drew ignored the whispers around the cafeteria.
"I'm not sure what's been happening around here, but throughout my stay here, I've been labeled as some sort of cheater," Drew said.
People started shouting, "because you are!" Conversations got louder.
To try to get everyone attention he shouted, "but since that has turned everyone against me..."
Some people quieted down to hear what he was saying.
"I realized, that I actually... really do have feelings for someone," Drew said.
Everyone started chatting to each other, some believing it's more lies while others are saying that what he says might be true.
"Now that I know this, I'm done playing these games that some of you are playing on me." Drew grabbed onto the rail with both his hands as he glared into the crowd. "So I'm just fine with letting you all know who the only girl I care about now, and that girl is May!"
People started loudly talking to each other about what Drew said. May starred at Drew with a blush. It really surprised her that he actually did it. She slowly walked up toward him with a small blush on her face. Drew turned to her and looked down a bit.
"So..." Drew started. He wasn't sure if that was enough to proof to her on how he felt, but he sure hoped so.
May looked up up at him and tried to say something. But all she got out was, "I... " She looked away a bit, before she slowly walked over and gave him a hug.
Drew slowly wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm sorry... It took me this long," May said.
"No, I understand. If I was in your position, I'd have a hard time trusting too with what all happen." Drew backed up a bit to get a look into her eyes and held on to her hands. "I'm just glad that I was able to get you to finally trust me."
She smirked at him. "Well, if I do catch you messing around with another girl, you're gonna have more problems than me not trusting you anymore."
"I'm sure you don't have to worry about me with another girl, May." Drew looked down at the crowd, which was still restless from what he just said.
May laughed a bit. " Right." Then she just realized something. "Harley... I bet he had something to do with those girls giving you a bad image."
Drew looked at her and asked, "why do you say that?"
"Well, back at that restaurant we were at when we first arrived at were we were staying after school, he whispered something along the lines that you like to use girls! Then not long after..."
Drew looked around in the crowd and found Harley talking to Ash and his friends. "So, he was behind it all..." Drew thought.
Harley left Ash's group after awhile and went to meet up with the rest of the Fabu Meows.
"Guess you all saw that, huh?" Harley asked.
"Yeah. Guess we'll have to help get dirt on them?" Ursula asked.
"Sounds good. Though splitting them up now seems like it'd be impossible, but like I care ether way. I'm just fine if we can make them miserable." Harley looked up at Drew. "That was pretty bold of you Drew... But this isn't over yet."
Ursula nodded. "Also, it seems Gary is hiding from me. Guess I'll have to make sure he listens to me next time when I say to meet me here..."
"So you'd like me to give you another picture? You sure are sweet!"
She shrugged with a smirk. "I have to do what I can to keep him in place, or he might get outta line."
After school, Cilan tutored Iris on one of her classes. They worked on it till the time they got back from school till the time it was for dinner.
"Okay, now I get it! That's so simple!" Iris shouted.
"Yes..." Cilan let out a sigh, but then he gave her a grin. "Well, with an A-class student like me, I can make any subject seem simple!"
Iris groaned a bit and mumbled, "not that again."
Iris saw how exhausted Cilan was. Iris barley understood what the teachers was saying, so she doesn't really do anything. But Cilan works hard in his classes, and then has to continue helping her with her work. "That's a lot for him to do... but he didn't stop till I got it," Iris thought.
"Well, we better go get some dinner," Cilan said.
Iris nodded. Then they both left the library.
"Hey Cilan, since you're doing this for me, I think I should do something for you!" Iris said.
Cilan laughed. "Come now, Iris! I'm glad to help out! After all, you are a close friend of mine."
"But I can't help but feel... like I'm taking advantage of you, since we are close friends."
"Oh... Well, I..."
"People have been talking a lot about the dance lately." She looked to the ground. "I'm not one for those kinds of things usually. But I heard there's free food and good music there! Plus, Ash is going to be there, so we might be able to run into him there."
Cilan looked at her for a bit before he started to chuckle.
Iris crossed her arms and glared at him. "Whats so funny?"
"Ah well, it almost seems that you'd want to go to the dance with me!"
Iris got red and gasped. "T-that's not true! Like I said, it was just a way to thank you for the help!" Then she stormed off, leaving Cilan behind.
"H-hey, wait! Iris!" Cilan ran after her.
"Me, wanting to go to the dance with you? Ya right!" Iris crossed her arms.
"A-alright, alright! I didn't mean to anger you!" Cilan said.
Kris and Ethan both sat at the same table. Kris let out a sigh.
"What's the matter Kris?" Ethan asked.
"I wanted to ask Silver if he'd like to go to the dance with me... but it just seems like I bother him more than anything," Kris said.
"Kris... Everything bothers Silver," Ethan said.
Kris laughed a bit. "true. But even so, I still like him."
"Yeah, I know..."
Kris told Ethan long ago how she felt about him and why. Right now, he saw both of them as good friends, and would be fine with seeing them together happy. But Silver always seemed to preoccupied on his own thing to notice her.
"Maybe you can help me out, Ethan?" Kris asked. "Like, talk to him?"
"I'll try... But I'll probably get as far as you have."
"But he seems to listen to you more than me so..."
Ethan laughed a bit. "I'm not so sure about that. Though, I'll do what I can."
Kris smiled and said, "thanks, Ethan." Then she looked at Silver from across the cafeteria with a with a smile. She hopped that he feels the same to. She remembers when she first meet him, she completely despised him. But as she traveled, she got to know him more and more and saw a different side to him over time. She wondered if Silver feels the same as she does, but from the look of things he doesn't. But she isn't about to give up. Kris has high hopes that she'll be able to get through to him someday.
Ash sighed as he recalled what happened when they arrived back here today. Gary was with Ursula holding hands, and Ash questioned Gary about it. But he just told him not now, and that got Ursula going. In the end, Ash found out Gary and her were dating. Ash was now in his room starring at his ceiling. Pikachu could see something was troubling Ash, so he rubbed against his face.
Ash smiled a bit and said, "who would've thought Gary and Ursula would of ended up together, huh buddy?"
Pikachu gave him a confused look.
"...and he didn't even tell me."
Ash rubbed Pikachu's cheek, and smiled at him. "He's criticizing me being with Misty, but he himself looked miserable being with her!" Then Ash frowned a bit. "Though I wonder... If that has something to do with what he can't tell me," Ash muttered.
Pikachu just listened to him talk quietly, but had no idea what he was talking about. Ash could tell Pikachu wanted to know what he meant.
"Well, I don't know much about it now. All I know we need to help Gary out later... cause someone will be in trouble. But that's all I know."
Pikachu gave a worried look.
"But I guess he or she is fine now, so there's no need to worry!" Then Ash pulled the blankets more toward him and said, "Well, tomorrow I have to get up early again... to meet Misty so we can have breakfast." Ash groaned a bit. "But I have the next two days off, so I might be able to spend more time with you! So goodnight buddy!" After that, Ash turned over Ash Pikachu stretched and closed their eyes.
