Chapter 4
I sighed as I heard Mei and Hilda flip out as the two guys walked over. They weren't into Gary, but they liked these two clowns? As long as they're nothing like Gary, I approve.
Hilda's crush was the first to speak up, talking to me. "Hey! You're the new girl, right? Hi! My name's Hilbert!"
"And I'm Kyohei!" said the other guy. "How do you like the new school?"
I shrugged. "It's okay."
Hilda snorted. "It's OK! You just got yourself the two coolest and sexiest friends in the world.
Mei, Hilbert, Kyohei, and I all sweatdropped.
"That's a bit much, Hilda," giggled Mei, feeling awkward.
Kyohei smiled over at Mei. "Yeah. Hilda always speaks her mind now matter what weird things she might have to say."
Hilds scowled at Kyohei. "Whatever! I'd rather be weird than normal! Being normal is such a bore."
Hilbert nodded. "I agree."
With all these people flirting at once, I soon became a third wheel. More like a 5th wheel I guess.
Not wanting to interrupt their bonding session, I wandered around the cafeteria until I found the lunch line.
Grabbing my wallet out of my pocket, I walked through the line and bought myself a lunch. It included a small steak, rice, and a cookie!
I nibbled on the cookie like a Bidoof as I walked back over to the lunch table where my four friends were seated.
"Sorry. We left you out of our conversation," Mei apologized.
"We didn't mean to steal the girls from you," added Hilbert.
I shook my head and sat down. "It's fine. So...are you guys all dating?"
All four of them were shocked. Their eyes widened as they stared around at each other.
Hilbert and Hilda stared at each other and so did Mei and Kyohei.
"Do you like me?" Hilbert asked Hilda.
Hilda blushed. "Maybe..."
"And do you like me, Mei?" Kyohei asked.
Mei nodded. "Uh-huh..."
And just like that, the four of them went from single to in a relationship. I never thought I'd be such a great match maker.
Lunch went by pretty quickly and before I knew it, the day had reached its end. The only downside to my first day is that I had EVERY class with GARY OAK. And now I was going to meet him behind the gym...
I took a deep breath as I walked outside the school, directing myself towards the gym. I didn't know what he wanted, but I'd beat him if he wasted my precious time.
I wasn't surprised to see him leaning against the pockets, a smirk on his face once he caught my gaze.
I sighed, regretting my decision to meet up with him. He walked over to me, raising a hand to say hello.
"You actually came," he laughed.
"Tch!" I scoffed, turning away from him. "Just tell me what you wanted to meet with me for."
Gary shifted uncomfortably. "Well...I was wondering if you wanted to come to my upcoming party."
I raised an eyebrow. "That's it?"
"Yeah. Do you want to?"
I shook my head. "Nah. Parties aren't really my scene."
Gary's eyes saddened as he made a puppy face at me. "Please, Leaf?"
I pushed him away. "Why do you even want me to come?"
Gary shrugged. "I thought it would be an opportunity to get to know you better."
Gary's face was pur red. I'd never seen him look like this before. But then again, I'd only known him for a day.
I sighed. "I'll come to your party on one condition."
Gary's eye's lit up. "What?"
"You have to invite Mei, Kyohei, Hilda, and Hilbert. If they don't come, I won't either."
Gary nodded and extended his hand. "It's a deal!"
We both shook hands and everything was set. I'd go to his party as long as my friends could too.
Then, he asked, "Where do you live?"
I smacked his arm. "Why do you want to know that?!"
He sighed. "I was wondering if you wanted me to walk you home."
"No," I said, trying not to sound rude. "I'm fine. Maybe some other time."
Gary nodded, understanding. "See you tomorrow then, Leaf."
I waved good-bye. "Bye!"
So then, I walked home, thinking of Gary all the way. I wonder why he was so nice to me back there? He had been such a jerk before.
I shrugged it off as I entered my house, kicking off my shoes and running upstairs. Right now, Gary didn't matter. I'd deal with him tomorrow.
Happy Halloween guys! Thanks for reading my story! I hope you get lots of candy and have lots of fun! I promise to update soon.
