Ok, so this is my first actual story (:
I'm pretty excited.
And I don't own pokemon. :(
"Why now?" May asked herself. "Everything's so great! I have great friends, I don't have Team Rocket chasing me down! My grades are the best they've ever been, and I'm on my way to becoming one of the top coordinators! " She lay on her bed. "And Drew isn't even that mean to me anymore! I mean yeah, he's still an arrogant jerk, but he's learned not to push me too far. I even consider him-my RIVAL-" she grimaced at the word "-as a friend. How am I going to tell everybody?" She slammed her fists on her pillow as tears welled up in her eyes. "WHY ME?" she screamed.
The next day after classes, May gathered all of her friends up.
"I need everyone to listen" May said, her voice a little unsteady.
Misty glanced up. "Are you ok?"
May didn't feel okay. Her stomach was churning, and she felt like she was going to pass out. "Seriously, everyone!" she yelled, frustrated. Everyone shut up.
"Misty, Dawn, Ash, Brock, Paul..." She paused for a moment. "Where's Drew?"
Everyone shrugged.
May took a deep breath. "Great...now I'm going to have to tell Drew this alone...just GREAT..."
"I'm moving."
No one said anything for a moment, they just stared at her in disbelief. Finally, Misty broke the silence.
"When?"
May's inner turmoil was seriously making her nauseous. She grabbed her stomach and sat down.
"January 1st."
"WHAT?" Dawn shrieked. "You only have like, a month left!"
May checked out everyone's reaction. Everyone looked shocked, and Dawn looked as if she was about to cry. 'And why shouldn't they?' May thought to herself. 'I've only been here for a little over a year.'
Ash said what everyone was thinking: "Where you going?"
She braced herself. "Back to Petalburg City."
"WHAT?"
"But-you just got to Larousse like, a year ago!" Misty said.
May didn't want to hear it right now. She'd been in a crappy mood ever since her dad (and gym leader Norman) had said he misses the kids. 'And thanks to all this custody/divorce bull shit, me and Max are being punished.' she thought.
"So", Dawn said after everyone left, "have you told Drew yet?"
"...no, I was just about to." May replied, and stood up.
She knocked on Drew's door, and took a step back. She knew this was going to be the hardest thing she's ever had to do. She waited, and knocked again. No answer. So she went back to her dorm and lay on her bed.
Meanwhile...
Drew was playing basketball with Brock and Ash.
"Man," Ash said, "I can't believe May's moving!"
Drew dropped the ball. He stared at Ash, confused. He didn't say a word, but his facial expression said it all...
"Dude," Brock waved his hand in Drew's face, but his expression was still unchanged. "Earth to Drew!" Drew finally snapped out of it when Ash smacked him in the face. "
He brought his hand to his cheek. "May's moving." he stated.
"She didn't tell you?" Brock asked.
Drew didn't answer. He looked completely shocked.
Then he walked away.
May didn't stop trying to call Drew. She left him message after message.
"Where are you?"
"I need to talk to you!"
"DAMN IT DREW, PICK UP YOUR GODDAMN PHONE!"
The last time she called, she was REALLY going to let him have it.
"ANDREW HAYDEN, YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON..."
"Message box full."
She sighed. This wasn't making things any easier. She wondered why she was stressing over telling him this so much.
She ran her fingers through her hair, and went for a walk.
Ash was outside, still shooting hoops. "Hey Ash!" May shouted, running over to him. "Have you seen Drew?"
"Uh.." he looked away, uneasily.
"What!"
"Well..." he said sheepishly.
May stomped her foot. "ASH! JUST TELL ME!"
"PLEASEDON'TKILLME!" he cried
May's jaw dropped. "YOU TOLD HIM?" Oh no! "This isn't good..." May thought.
"Where'd he go?"
Ash looked a little uncertain. "Well..."
"ASH KETCHUM, IF YOU DON'T TELL ME, I SWEAR TO GOD, YOU CAN COUNT ON NOT EVER HAVING ANY KIDS!" May screamed, jumping up and down like a maniac.
Ash shrunk down. "OK! Ok...I think I saw him come out of his room a little while ago. He didn't say anything, but he was headed for the park. But it's a little late-"
She didn't hear anything else he said, as she was already on her way.
The park was lit by streetlamps. It was very quiet and peaceful. She made her way along the route, humming nonsense the whole time, until she saw him. He was sitting on the bench in front of the fountain, peacefully.
Her heart began racing. "Why?" she asked herself. "It's just Drew."
She took baby steps until she reached the bench, and he turned around...
AHHH! CLIFFHANGER! D:
Heh, guess you're just gonna have to wait till next time xP
Wonder what Drew's gonna do...
Please Review! (:
