Chapter 3

There were no telephones, but word spread quickly through the small town. By the end of the day, everyone in Lake May had heard that the schoolteacher had kissed the onion picker. Not one child showed up for school the next morning. Miss May sat alone in the classroom and wondered if she had lost track of the day of the week. Perhaps it was Saturday. It wouldn't have surprised her. Her brain and heart had been spinning ever since Ash kissed her. She heard a noise outside the door, then suddenly a mob of men and women came storming into the school building. They were led by Drew LaRousse.

"There she is!" Drew shouted. "The Devil Woman!" The mob was turning over desks and ripping down bulletin boards.

"She's been poisoning your children's brains with books," Drew declared. They began piling all the books in the center of the room.

"What are you doing!" cried Miss May as the mob started to burn the books "Please stop! Think about what you are doing!"

Someone made a grab for her, tearing her dress.

"Get off me! Don't belive him, he's just using all of you!" May begged but they didn't stop, but she managed to get out of the building. She ran to the sheriff's office.

The sheriff had his feet up on his desk and was drinking from a bottle of whiskey. "Mornin', Miss May," he said.

"They're destroying the schoolhouse," she said, gasping for breath. "They already started burning it, please stop them!"

"Just calm your pretty self down a second," the sheriff said in a slow drawl. "And tell me what you're talking about." He got up from his desk and walked over to her.

"Drew LaRousse has-"

"Now don't go saying nothing bad about Drew LaRousse," said the sheriff.

"We don't have much time!" urged May. "They already started to-"

"You're sure pretty," The sheriff said out of nowhere. Miss May stared at him in horror.

"Kiss me," said the sheriff.

"Not in a million years!"

Then she slapped him across the face. He laughed. "You kissed the onion picker. Why won't you kiss me?"She tried to slap him again, but he caught her by the hand.

She tried to wriggle free. "You're drunk!" she yelled.

"I always get drunk before a hanging."

"A hanging? Who-"

"It's against the law for a Pesant to kiss a white woman."

"Well, then you'll have to hang me, too," said May. "Because I kissed him back."

"It ain't against the law for you to kiss him," the sheriff explained. "Just for him to kiss you."

"We're all equal under the eyes of God," she declared.

The sheriff laughed. "Then if Ash and I are equal, why won't you kiss me?" He laughed again. "I'll make you a deal.

One sweet kiss, and I won't hang your "boyfriend". I'll just run him out of town."

Miss May jerked her hand free. As she hurried to the door, she heard the sheriff say, "The law will punish Ash. And God will punish you."

She stepped back into the street and saw smoke rising from the schoolhouse. She ran down to the lakefront, where Ash was hitching Mary Lou to the onion cart.

"Thank God, I found you," she sighed, hugging him.

"We've got to get out of here. Now!"

"What-"

"Someone must have seen us kissing yesterday," she said.

"They set fire to the schoolhouse. The sheriff said he's going to hang you!"

Ash hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't quite believe It. He didn't want to believe it. "C'mon, Mary Lou'

"We have to leave Mary Lou behind," said May.

Okay stared at her a moment. There were tears in his eyes.

"Okay."

They walked towards the lake and saw Ash's boat in the water, tied to a tree by a long rope.

He untied it, and they waded through the water and climbed hoard. His powerful arms rowed them away from the shore.

"I promise you, we will get out of here safely", Ash said.

They didn't notice that Drew LaRousse was following them. When they noticed him, Ash tried to row faster but his powerful arms were no match for Drew LaRousse's motorized boat. They were little more than halfway across the lake when Miss May heard the loud roar of the engine.

Then she saw the ugly black smoke. The Walker boat smashed into Ash's boat. Ash was shot and fell in the water. May Maple was rescued against her wishes.

May began to cry. "Leave me alone!" May said as she looked at the spot where Ash drowned. But Drew managed to catch her.

"You're coming with me!" said the guy with foot fungus err... I mean Drew.

When they returned to the shore they went to Drew's mansion and locked May in a dark room.

" I'll deal with you later " Drew said as he closed the door.
