One Love, One Heart

Chapter 4: Girl Crush

"You forgot about me May; you left me on my own. Seeing you now just makes me realize the poor excuse of a friend you are. Don't bother showing up in my life again," the aggravated shadow of a black-haired boy spoke.

"You can't do this! Please, I admit I love you! Come back! What about our friendship?" The brunette exclaimed, breaking into tears.

"Too late for that, and you can forget that we ever had a friendship. Now go back to Drew," the serious tone of this shadowy figure continued to go on.

"I don't love Drew! I love you!" cried out the girl with the red bandana.

"Save it for someone who cares," the boy rudely answered and threw out a Poké Ball that revealed a dragon-like fire Pokémon. "Let's get out of here," the fire type nodded and flew off once its trainer got on, leaving the lonely girl behind.

"Ash, come back I need you!" May shouted out to the boy who had disappeared out of her sight. Suddenly, the forest surrounding her lit into flames and was soon cornering her. She would share the fate of the entire flora that turned to ashes.

"Ash, help!" May called out, and the flames covered the whole image.

"Ash!" May jolted up from her bed, calling out her former traveling companion's name.

May looked around the area, acknowledging where she was, and realized it was only a dream. "Whew what a nightmare, I hope I never dream like that again," May said to herself.

She then noticed an irritated ice-type lying on the floor. Glaceon immediately sat up and hissed at her trainer, having fallen off the bed when May had hysterically woken up.

"Oh Glaceon, I'm so sorry for waking you up like that. Can you forgive me?" pleaded the innocent brunette.

The Pokémon at first appeared unforgiving, but then leaped onto the bed and purred while rubbing herself on May. "I'll take it as an apology accepted," May giggled. She looked at the Jigglypuff clock and read 8:02 a.m. "Oh, it's still too early to get up now. At least I won't get any complaints from Mom and Dad about being an early bird today," sighed a displeased May.

The brunette slowly got out of bed and decided to put on something similar to her Johto attire, except her top would be red instead of orange. First, she planned to take a shower, leaving Glaceon behind, who thought it would be best to make up for the lost sleep. She collected her clothes, including the green bandana, and headed straight to the bathroom on the second floor.

"No one is even awake yet, but when I'm not awake everyone is," the young girl stated, obviously annoyed, and continued forward.

Once she was in the bathroom, she got undressed, anticipating the refreshing shower. As she slowly got undressed, she noticed how developed her body had become throughout her journey.

She noticed that she had an hourglass figure. A figure any girl would like to have and a boy would want to hold. Embarrassed, she thought in her mind of how her figure seemed to belong to that of an eighteen-year-old female, from head to toe. When she was ten, she had already started going through puberty, apparently very fast.

By that age, she already had breasts and had to ignore the fact that this was something all girls went through. Then she recalled a mortifying conversation with her mother on the female anatomy and how boys would treat her differently.

After that, May never wanted to learn more but was aware that this was what her mother had spoken to her about all those years ago, before starting her travels. She never noticed boys paying attention to her, except maybe Drew, but that was only an assumption and she never considered him that type of guy. Nonetheless, she had no desire to become aware of the male gaze.
