The Brendan Boys

Chapter 2

The pic above is just a doodle I made.

"So. Girls, we need battle plans. AND WE NEED SOLID ONES!!!!"

Misty and I sweatdropped. "What..."

I was hanging out with my two room mates Misty and Dawn. As of now, Misty and I thought Dawn was going a liiiiiittle crazy.

She rolled her eyes. "To get our crushes to ask us to the dance! Duh!"

I just shrugged. "It's not like he will ask me if I try to get his attention or not." I said it rather calmly, but my emotions were anything but calm.

Misty raised one eyebrow at me. "Get his attention? Get his attention!?!?"

"Uh... Yeah?"

Dawn face palmed. "May, you've had his entire attention since you first met him. It's him who has been trying so hard to get yours!"

"Huh?"

"Have you ever wondered why he only really teases you?"

"Yeah, I guess. He likes to mess with other people too, but he does mainly tease me. What of it?"

"May. Teasing is typically a guy's way of flirting. He does it because when he teases you, he gets your attention way more than if he was always nice to you."

I stared at them blankly.

"He loves it when you explode on him. He loves it when you hang out with him. He just wants your attention in return for all of the attention he gives you!"

"I... Guess. But why would he want my attention? It's not like I'm pretty, cute at most. The average Drew fangirl is minimum, oh, three times prettier than me? He's bound to fall for one of them."

"Unless he's already in love." Misty muttered under her breath, but me with my super hearing, heard it.

She must have meant hypothetically. Drew's not in love with anyone!

------------------------

-Drew's POV-

"And so why would I take Misty to the dance?"

I groaned and face palmed yet again.

"The same reason Paul would want to take Dawn."

"I do not want to take Troublesome. Besides. Dances are annoying. They're loud, there's a bunch of flirting girls, and people expect you to dance for enjoyment."

Would someone remind me why I'm living with two hopeless romantics? Oh right. 'Cause they're my best friends. Other than May.

"I still don't get it."

"You would take someone to a dance because you like each other. It's kind of like a school wide date."

Yes, I know that you don't necessarily have to have a date, but Principle Cynthia's rules says otherwise. She personally tests to see if you're a couple. In other words, no kiss, no entry.

I mean, Principle Cynthia's awesome and really nice, but... She can be kind of... Wacko sometimes. Putting things mildly.

"So you're taking May to the dance?"

"The feeling has to be mutual, Ash."

"But it is!"

"Do you even know what that word means?"

"Yes! Wait... Why would Misty want to go with me?"

I give up.

------------------

I lay in my bed, staring up at the ceiling.

I have so much on my mind...

(🎶I gotta say what's on my mind... Something about us... Doesn't seem right these days.🎶 Sorry, that just popped into my mind as I was reading over this!)

The dance, the play, the kiss... All of it revolved around May.

May...

The girl I had been crushing on for, oh, THE PAST FIVE YEARS!!!!

The one girl who could never like me back. I mean how could she ever like me?

She's my rival. I always tease her and taunt her when it comes to really anything. I never call her by her real name, and over all, I'm just kind of a jerk to her.

Besides, I bet she likes that Brendan guy who's known her way longer than I have. Apparently they were childhood friends and it's so obvious he likes her.

I won't get in the way. If they end up as a couple... Then at least she'll be happy. Although it should be me...

'You're just jealous.'

Who's there?!?!

'I'm your conscious, oh smart one.'

What do you want?

'Weeeeeeeell, since you refuse to step up in your love life, I am for you,'

My love life is just fine, thank you very much.

'Suuuuuuuuure it's just fine. I finally show up to find you moping in jealousy over a girl who you think likes someone else.'

W-well, she doesn't like me!

'Are you going to ask her to the dance?'

Of course not! She would turn me down, and our friendship would be ruined, then she'd go with that Brendan guy!

'So he's the guy you're jealous of?'

I'm not jealous!

'Please! You're moping! And you never mope!'

How would you know that?

'Because I am you, genius.'

You can lay off on the sarcasm.

'That's what you sound like.'

O.o

------------------------

Chapter two IS UP!!!!!

Not a lot of action, but sort of setting up for the plot.

Lol, Drew got a taste of his own sarcasm.
