Chapter 3

"May come on...You've been ignoring me for almost three days...Don't you think we should make up now..." Drew begged as he followed his girlfriend through the school's cafe.

May didn't say a word as she continued walking trying to locate Dawn. It was Friday, a whole 3 days had passed since Drew had informed her about being replaced. At first she intended to talk to Drew about the situation, but the more she thought about it the angrier it made her thus leading her to give her boyfriend the silent treatment for the last few days.

"I understand your mad May, but please..I did it because it's the best thing for the play. It isn't anything personal." Drew tried to justify his actions as he continued following May.

May's anger rose a bit at those words. "It's always about the play Drew! When will it be about me?!" She finally snapped as she turned around to face the green haired boy who was clearly caught off guard.

"May. I love you! You know that, but I have to make sure every play is as perfect as possible! The college that I plan to attend after senior year is finally taking me seriously. If I blow this chance I might never get the opportunity again." Drew explained happy that May was finally letting him explain himself.

The brown haired girl briefly loss a bit of anger, but it quickly returned. "I get that Drew, but still being obsessed and treating the people who care the most about you badly isn't a way to reach your goals!"

Drew frowned. "I know..I'm sorry May... I wasn't thinking about how it would make you feel...I just figured you wouldn't mind to be honest during our last practice you didn't seem into it and hell ever since you've been replaced you haven't even shown up..." he began.

He did have a point there the past week her mind had been completely on Ash, as much as she didn't want to admit it. She had been continuing her math lessons and swimming lessons everyday for the past three days while skipping practice wanting to avoid Drew. The times she was with Ash were really the only times she wasn't focused on being angry at her boyfriend.

"Listen May. During senior year I promise we will star in a production together. As long as you promise to put your all into it." Drew tried to compromise.

May hesitated for a few seconds before responding. "I'm not mad because you took me out of the play Drew. I'm mad because it seems like you always prioritize the play over me...It hurts..." she admitted a few tears managing to come out.

Unknown to the couple they were completely visible from the table where Ash, Gary, and the rest of the basketball team were sitting.

"Feeling a little jealous Ash?" Gary teased as he knocked Ash against the shoulder. "Seeing her cry over another dude."

Ash made a sound as he continued eating. "We're just friends Gary. Why would I care if shes crying over that plant." he finally replied as he lifted his water bottle to take a sip.

Gary laughed at Ash's insult. "You sound like girl." he replied taking note on how Ash had insulted the green haired boy for no reason.

"You have a thing for May?" A purple haired boy joined the conversation taking interest in it considering Ash never showed interest in any girls.

"Hell yeah he does Paul. You should see them in my pool every day." Gary answered for Ash causing the ebony haired boy to groan.. Didn't Gary remember it was suppose to be a secret.
