Chapter 1

Hey. My name's Leaf Green and I just moved to Kanto. Why did I move? Because I was expelled from my old school in Hoenn and mom and dad thought we should start fresh in a new region. Oh joy.

Why did I get expelled from my old school? Well, you see, I don't exactly go by the rules. If somebody messes with me or threatens me, I'll take action. I got expelled for getting into a fist fight with this one drama queen.

She was the one that threw the first punch and, according to law, I can fight to defend myself, so I did. Of course, I ended up beating that snippy attitude right out of her. And what did that get me? I got expelled and she got suspended for TWO days. It was only because she was one of the teacher's daughters.

So now we had to move here. I don't know why we moved though. It won't help anything. I'm still going to be a malignant 'little girl' who can't get along with others. Where had my parents gone wrong?

Anyway, my mom is making me wear this super girly tank top and mini skirt and knee socks. I hate how girly it is, but she's forcing me to where this to school today. She says I need a new image. How stupid.

Now, I'm taking my first steps into the school. As I open the doors, I sigh angrily as I walk in.

All the students around me stare at me as if I'm the hottest girl in the world. Must be these dorky clothes mom made me wear.

I just ignore all the stares and grab my notebook. I flip to a page where I wrote down info on this new school. I had locker 444. I think it was just down this hallway.

I quickly found my locker and stared down at my locker combination. As I twist my locker open, old memories flashed into my head of when I used to break into other people's lockers to pull pranks and stuff. Those had been some fun times, but they were behind me now.

Just as I finally swung my locker open, somebody slammed it shut. I spun around and glowered at the culprit.

The guy who closed my locker had a smug look on his face. He had spiky brown hair, green eyes, and baggy clothes. He looked like the 'cool guy' on campus.

"Hey there, babe," he flirted, angering me immensely. "You're new here aren't you? I'm Gary Oak. I can show you around."

I grunted. "The only thing I'd like you to show me is the way out."

Gary inched closer to me. "Don't you know who I am?"

"You just said your name was Gary Oak. Why should I care?"

Gary laughed. "That's just it. I'm Gary OAK. Grandson of the great Professor Oak. I'm sort of a legend around these parts."

He was trying to show off, but it didn't impress me one bit. Great! An egotistical aristocrat known for nothing other than the fact that his GRANDPA, not him, was famous.

"Yipee! You have famous last name. Now get out of my way and quit slamming my locker shut."

Just as I tried to open it again, he shut it once more and it almost jammed my finger. Ok, now he was starting to piss me off.

"What's your problem?!" I spat at him, venom in my words.

Gary looked really irritated. "No, what's your problem?! I'm Gary OAK!"

Oh? Was I hurting his little ego? Well too bad so sad. If he didn't get out of my face soon, I was going to open up a can of whup ass.

I snarled at him. "Just because your grandpa's famous doesn't mean YOU'RE famous! Now get out of the way of my locker. You're going to make me late on my first day!"

Gary looked completely appalled. I knew then that I'd won the fight. I pushed his arm of my locker and reentered my combination. This time he didn't shut it.

I grabbed my books for Science which was my first class. Gary suddenly looked very, VERY pleased. I had a foreboding feeling.

"Science? Is that your first class?"

I really wanted to lie, but he clearly saw the textbook in my hand. I tried using sarcasm to piss him off. "No. I was just going to use this to swat a fly!"

It worked. I'd pissed him off. "Are you this rude to EVERYONE?"

I nodded and began to walk away. "Pretty much, so get used to it!"

He ran after me and with out really realizing it, I began to race away from him. I'm not sure why, but I ran from him until I got the Science room.

I stepped in just before the bell rang, so I wasn't counted as late, but I was being stared at by the other students. That wasn't unusual. I was the new girl. Why wouldn't they be curious?

Gary didn't end up as lucky as me and rushed in, panting after the bell had already rung. He groaned.

The teacher turned to face us. Their name tag read: "Ms. Erika." She looked really pretty. She seemed nice too.

Surprisingly, she didn't scold Gary for being late. All she said was, "Gary, go take your seat."

Then, she walked over to me and placed a friendly hand on my shoulder. Normally, I wouldn't want anyone touching me, but I just stood there.

"You must be our new student," she said, smiling. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

I tried hard not to glare as I saw all the guys gawking at me and most of the girl cursing my name. Geez. Jealous girls are like foul demons.

"I'm Leaf Green," I said, not putting much emotion into my words.

Even though I hadn't done anything remotely special, all the guys began to swoon. This place was already way different than my old school. Everyone over there had been afraid of me.

Ms. Erika nodded and pointed somewhere. "You can take a seat next to Gary."

I frowned. That Gary Oak guy who'd just irritated me in the hallway? There was no way I'd sit next to him! I scanned the room for any other available seats, but I found none.

I walked over to him slowly, wearing my most evil glare. He chuckled as I plopped down next to him.

He leaned back in his chair. "Looks like we'll have lots of time to get to know each other."

Yes. And I'd hate every minute of it.
