Monday, June 3

I heard someone knock on my door. "Yes?" I say, lying off my bed to open the door. May was there. "What, May? Shouldn't you be sleeping? It's already ten." May's a "good" girl and she sleeps at nine. Misty also sleeps early since she wakes up early to run around the neighborhood.

"Well I made brownies and they were just finished," May said. "Do you want some?" I shake my head. "Okay, well good night! Oh yeah, and it's your turn to wake everyone up tomorrow."

"Alright," I said. "Good night, May." She walks off and I shut my door. I go back on my bed and open up my journal. Why am I thinking of him so much? We're done. I have Niall; and Gary has, um, his fangirls. "Screw this," I mumbled. I closed my eyes.

I think back to how Gary was in sixth grade.

"Gary!" the teacher yelled, watching the eleven year old boy walk into the classroom. "You're covered in scratches and mud! What happened?" I gasped when I saw him. No, not another fight. "Leaf, please escort him to the nurse's office."

"I'm going home," Gary interrupted, flashing a suspended note. "I'll see you in three days, miss." The bell rang, and I stood up and ran to Gary immediately. I grabbed his shoulder and I noticed him wince. "What the he—"

I slapped his mouth. "Shut up, Gary. We're in school. Can't you behave? Tell me what happened." He refused to tell me and I crushed his toe. Gary yelped in pain. "C'mon, Gary."

"The eighth graders wanted me to give them money," Gary said. "I refused. They were going to hit me but I beat them to it, and a teacher caught me."

"Why didn't you tell the teacher it was their fault?" I asked.

He shrugged. "It's not like she'd believe me. Besides, it doesn't matter. At least they won't bother me anymore."

"Gary, go stand up for yourself," I continued, glaring at him. "Quit acting like you're the bad boy. Because you're not." Gary shoved me against the locker and I gasped. His arm was under my chin, pushing against my neck.

"Shut up, Leaf!" he yelled. "What do you know about me!" his eyes were angry, and I couldn't speak. "Quit butting into my businesses! You're just a brat!" he let go and stormed off angrily. I felt tears fall down my eyes.

"That was then," I mumbled to myself. "Gary wouldn't do that."

Wait. He didn't he do that a few months ago when a guy tried to hurt me?

"What the fuck are you guys doing?" Gary yelled kicking the unknown guy off me. "Don't touch Leaf, you bastard!" he kicked his stomach and hit in square in the face, causing heaps of blood to fall out of his nose. My eyes widened and I yelled at Gary to stop. "No, Leaf! He deserves this."

"Stop Gary!" I screamed. "You're gonna kill him!"

"Who cares!" Gary yelled.

I shake my head. "Stop Gary!" I yell once more. "You'll get expelled and that'll ruin your future, Gary!"

"Shut up!" Gary yelled, hitting my shoulder. He used too much strength that I fell to the ground, my arm unable to move. "Shit! Leaf, are you okay?" he ran over to me and tried to help me up, but I backed off.

I held my shoulder, squeezing it tightly. "Don't touch me."

We fought after that. I remember, the next day, he had three girls eating lunch with him, kissing and flirting with him the whole time. He tried to make me jealous and get him back, but I did my best not to care.

I open my journal. You would hit me, too, even if I tried to help and stop you.

Tuesday, June 4

I mean, Gary was nice, too. But at times (most times) he would be a jerk. I heard a knock on my door and it was Dawn. "Hi, what time is it?" I asked. She would never wake up this early.

"It's five am," Dawn said, laughing nervously. "I just heard something fall down so I went to check on you."

"Oh, it's fine," I said. "I woke early because I realized I forgot to do my geometry."

"You better hurry!" Dawn said. "By the way, I'm going to school with my boyfriend today."

I roll my eyes. "How many boyfriends have you had already?"

"I think this is the one for me," Dawn said, her eyes were pretty much twinkling. "His name is Paul Shinji. He's a hottie. He's the leader of the judo club."

"Judo?" Leaf asked. "Our school does judo?" but of course, this school has everything. "Kay, well I have to finish my homework. Do you wanna cook breakfast?"

"No way, Leaf!" Dawn said. "I have to get ready."

"Whatever," I say, closing the door.

An hour later, my homework was finished. I felt my phone ring, it was my alarm. I went to Misty's room. "Hey Mist. Time to wake up!" I said, opening the door. Misty was covered under five blankets, even though it was June. "Misty, you're gonna DIE in there!" I lift her blankets up and throw them off the bed.

"Stop it, Leaf, I'm cold," Misty mumbled, getting the blankets back. "I have a fever."

"Holy crap," I say. "Well don't make it worse. Only use one blanket! Your temperature will get higher and you WILL DIE." She groaned when I took four of the blankets off her. Seriously, where did these blankets come from? "Do you need one of us to stay home and look after you?"

"No," Misty said. "Now go away. I wanna sleep more."

"Kay, night," I tell her, even though it's already morning. I shut the door and I walk to May's room. May's room was all red, green and yellow. She didn't do it on purpose, but when she buys something it's usually one of the three colors. "Hey May! Are you ready for school?"

"If you gimme some pancakes," May mumbled.

I sigh. "You want pancakes today?"

"What are you talking about?" the brunette continued to mumble. "I said I wanted waffles!" this girl is so stupid. She loves eating, but she's smaller than me in height and weight. "Don't forget the syrup…"

"SHUT UP AND WAKE UP, MAY!" I said loudly. Her head shot up and she frowned in confusion. "Morning, darling. Time to get up."

"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?" May asked in annoyance, getting out of her bed. At that moment, Dawn ran out of the bathroom, causing her and May to collide. They hit each other's head. I laughed. "What are you doing?" May yelled.

Dawn lifted her liquid eyeliner. "Leaf, let me borrow your liquid liner. Mine's out."

"Okay, stop crying," I said, going to my room.

"Why don't you just ask me?" I heard May ask.

"Because your makeup isn't the brand I like," Dawn said. I came back and handed it to her. "Thank you so much!"

"Dawn, don't use too much makeup," I advise. "You're gonna look like one of those bitches I really hate. Plus some guys don't like girls who wear too much makeup."

May nodded. "Dawn, aren't you pretty enough without makeup? Your eyes are pretty, your dark circles never show and you have long eyelashes. Why do you still need makeup?"

Dawn shrugged. "I don't know. I don't feel confident without it."

"Just wear a little," I say. I hear Misty cough and groan. "Oh guys, by the way, Misty has a cold!"

May and Dawn gasped. Then the two idiots looked at each other grinning. "Let's call Ash!" they said in unison. I told them to quiet down a little so the redhead couldn't hear them. May went into her room and dialed Ash's number, while Dawn went back in the bathroom to fix her makeup. "Hello, Ash?" I heard May said. "It's May. Yeah morning! No, I didn't eat breakfast yet. WHAT? YOU HAD BACON? LUCKY! Leafy, can you make bacon?"

"Do you remember why you called Ash, May?" I asked and she nodded fast.

"Ash, guess what?" May said. "Misty has a fever. It's pretty bad." I told May Misty was using five blankets and she was burning, and May told Ash. "What? You're gonna skip school to visit her?"

"SUCCESS!" I heard Dawn yell from the bathroom. May and I laughed.

"Um, okay I don't mind," May said. "She's sleeping right now. Thanks!" she shuts up of android and shoves it in her pocket. "Looks like we're good," May said. "Misty might kill us." Ash and Misty has been best friends since preschool. They grew up in the Kanto region, and Misty helped Ash with everything. Misty used to babysit Ash even though they were the same age, which was kind of dumb. Misty has a crush on Ash, but he's so stupid he doesn't know.

Dawn's phone rang. "Hello? Oh hey Paul! You're outside? Okay, I'll meet you in a minute." She shut her phone. "Guys, my boyfriend is here so I'm gonna go, kay?"

"Isn't it early?" May asked. "It's like six thirty. School starts in an hour."

"We're gonna stop for a breakfast," Dawn said, grinning. "Bye!" she grabbed her bag from her backpack and ran down the stairs. I heard the door slam.

"I wonder what kind of guy it is this time," May said. "Well, I'm gonna brush my teeth. But Leaf, seriously, can you make bacon?"

"No," I said. "Let's just have cereal or something." May pouted and walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I heard the doorbell ring and I ran to get it. It was probably Dawn.

I opened the door and it revealed the one and only Ash Ketchum. "Uh hey," I said awkwardly. "That was fast."

"I made my roommate drive me here immediately," Ash said.

"And who's your roommate?" I asked. I forgot who it was, but I know I know him.

"Gary."

After hearing that name, I slam the door on him, locking it and walked away. May ran out of the bathroom with her toothbrush in her mouth and she opened the door. "Hi Ash! I'm so sorry, Leaf is in a bad mood."

"No I'm not! Shut up!" I yelled. "May, get back to the bathroom and finish brushing your teeth!" There's no way I'm going to let Gary in my house. I'm also not going to let him see me in my pajamas.

"I won't let Gary in, okay?" Ash said through the door. "Let me in. I wanna check on Mist."

May finished brushing her teeth and I notice that she was rushing on dressing and other things. "What's wrong, May?" I say, and she ran down the stairs while brushing her hair. "Dude, calm down." I heard Ash say 'girls are so stupid.' Okay, now I'm not letting him in.

"Sam told me to meet him at Carly's!" she exclaimed. Carly's is a coffee store, it has delicious cakes and perfect coffee. It's takes five minutes by car, so May usually just drives there. She slipped on her shoes and she opened the door. "Ash, Gary, come on in!"

"This stupid airhead," I muttered.

"Leaf, I'm taking the car!" I heard May yell. May usually drives to Carly's, even though she only has her permit. She's not that good at driving. "Bye!"

"Wait no!" I yelled, but she was already gone.

"What's wrong?" I heard Ash say.

I shake my head. "Nothing. You can go take care of Misty." Ash nodded and he ran up the stairs. I saw Gary, and he was smirking. I glared at him. "What? Get out of my house."

"Well it looks like your car has been taken away," Gary said, skipping the greeting like I did. "How about a ride with me?"

"No thank you," I rejected. "I can call my boyfriend." Gary shrugged and he walked into the kitchen to help himself with some bread and jelly. "Hey! Don't just take food from other people's houses!"

"I'm hungry," Gary said. "Ashy boy made me skip breakfast. Blame him." He sat down, not bothering to put the food back. "You should eat, too. You didn't eat yet, right?"

"It's none of your business," I said.

He raises an eyebrow. "You know if you skip breakfast, you could get a potbelly." I widen my eyes and I help myself with some bread and jelly, almost immediately. The auburn haired boy laughed and I really wanted to crush his toes. "Geez, I'm sorry."

I didn't bother to sit down, since Gary was sitting down. He was even sitting in my chair. He probably knew that already. "Now that you're done eating, can you leave?"

"No, I can bring you to school," Gary said.

"I can call my boyfriend," I insisted.

He shook his head. "He probably left his dorms already. You shouldn't bother him."

"You're bothering me," I said.

"It's okay, it's me," Gary said, smirking.

"I'm not gonna listen to that," I say. "Get out."

"Why won't you let me bring you?" he asked me, looking a little sad. Don't show me that fake sadness. It's because when I'm with you I get all confused, and I can't feel that way because we're over. I have Niall. I shouldn't even be considering you. He knew I wasn't going to answer him. "So how's the journal?"

I glared. "It's not your business."

"You did write in it, eh?" he said. He knows when I say, 'it's not your business,' it means I did do it, or I'm not gonna deny it. "Leaf, it's too late. You're gonna be late for school if you don't come with me."

"I'll walk."

"Did you just hear me?" he said. "I's already seven twenty. Are you sure you can walk there in ten minutes?"

"I'll bike."

He sighs. "Quit being stubborn." I didn't say anything after that. "Fine, I'll leave."

"Okay, I'll go with you," I said. He looks surprised. "What? You just said I don't have a choice. I don't want to be late."

"No, I mean," Gary started. "Are you sure you want to go to school in your pajamas?"

Crap.

I blushed and glared. "I can change in a minute." I ran upstairs, and I could hear him chuckled. "Screw you," I mumbled, getting and outfit. I shoved my stuff in my backpack and ran downstairs. "Done."

"Alright, Miss Bedhead," Gary says, standing up and heading for the door.

"You're mean," I mutter, slipping my shoes on.

Even though this chapter was short, wasn't it cute? LOL. (:
