Hello! Good to be back! This is chapter 9 of Awkward! I wrote this by the way!

Chapter 9: Revenge

Misty's POV

Gary and I had been dating for about a week now! Everything was great! Taking walks in the park, making out, kissing, and going on dates…making out. Gary has to be the most important guy in my life right now.

Despite all this happiness, there has been one thing that's been bothering me since we've been dating.

Karen.

Every time she sees us together, she grits her teeth and frowns. She also makes my life a living hell. She trips me up in the hallway, she throws my books on the floor and she once she took my clothes while we were changing out of our sports clothes in the girls changing room.

Zoey has been telling me that Karen is going to get revenge. But I don't think that throwing my books and tripping me up is her revenge. She's going to do something worse.

I still decided to shrug her off so I shake her out of her mind and I go and meet Gary. At his house…meeting his family.

Gary said to me that I'm the most important girl in his life and wants me to meet his family. I know that Gary's parents are usually on business trips but even they came to see me. His grandfather is also going to be there, and his sister Daisy.

My sister (Daisy) and Gary's sister are not related. Gary's sister is more…warm.

I walk up his family's path and gulp at the big house looming over me. Gary is very rich and his family are practically in luxury. That makes them hard to impress.

I ring on the doorbell and wait anxiously. I look at my outfit while I'm waiting. Gary told me to dress up so I wore my favourite blue tank top (which is sparkly and glittery) and my dark blue skinny jeans. I wore my sky blue cardigan over it. I also wore my sliver flats to complete the look.

I think I'm finally getting used to make up as I actually applied it myself because Zoey is coming down with a cold. It doesn't look too bad. Well, at least I didn't poke my eye out trying to apply mascara.

The door suddenly opens and Gary is standing there in a white long sleeved shirt and jeans. I've never seen Gary looking like this and I find it very sexy.

"Glad you could make it." He says with a smile and I kiss him. He then invites me in his house and I step into their hallway. It's very big with a mirror and a table with what looks like a priceless vase upon it.

I very clumsy so I step out of the way the minute I see it.

"Follow me." Gary says and walks into the other room. I follow eagerly to see four people already seated at a big dining table.

The first gives me a smile. I think it is Daisy. She has brown hair and brown eyes that makes you feel safe inside.

Sitting next to her is a middle aged woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She looks tired but it seems that it doesn't stop her. I think this is Gary's Mum.

Next to her is a middle aged man with short brown hair. He has a big goofy grin on and winks at me. I smile. This is definitely Gary's Dad.

And next to him is Professor Oak. The most well known Pokemon Professor in all the regions. He was the one to give a boy called Red, a starter Pokemon (a Pikachu). And now Red has become the Pokemon Champion of this region.

Professor Oak is watching me intently and I can't help but freak out. If he doesn't like me, then I certainly won't be welcome at this household.

I look at the table and see that the table is already served. With piping hot roast dinner.

"Sorry." I apologize. "Am I late?"

"Not at all." Daisy assures me. "We've only just sat down. You'll sit next to me and Gary."

I nod and place myself between the two and wipe my sweaty hands with my trousers. Daisy gives me another grin and says we can start to eat.

I only just realised how hungry I was and started to eat my carrots and pour gravy over my food. While we were eating, the table had a very awkward silence. I could tell that Gary wanted me to bond with his family so he started up a conversation.

"Misty is in the swim team at school. She's the best there."

"I'm not the best. Just average." I tell his family with a slight blush crawling up my cheeks.

"I used to love swimming when I was in high school." Daisy tells me. "I'm now in University."

"What are you studying?" I ask.

"Pokemon history. It's very interesting. I'm hoping to have a degree in two years. I've been there for about two years now." Daisy babbles. I nod with interest.

"That sounds lovely. I don't know what to do when I'm older."

"I own a firm of department stores in Kanto." Gary's Mum tells me. "And I'm Mary by the way."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Misty Waterflower. And your job sounds very glamorous." I tell her. She shakes her head as if I don't know what I'm talking about. Well, I don't.

"Its not! Money managing is hard work!" Gary's Dad pipes up. "My name is Will."

I nod and eat my broccoli. The table, again, has a silence.

"Gary? You were telling me yesterday that for your school project that you had to have two weeks of work experience. Have you found anything yet?" Mary asks.

"No." Gary shakes his head. "Misty and I haven't found anywhere."

I smile gratefully for the mention of my name.

"You could work in my lab." Professor Oak suggests. Finally, he speaks and it's with a kind voice. My eyes go wide. Me?! Helping HIM?! THAT IS SO AWESOME!

I jump out of my seat and start doing cartwheels around the room. I stop only to realise that I'm with other people. My boyfriend's family. I awkwardly get back to my seat and Professor Oak clears his throat.

"It's decided, then. You shall come to my lab next week at seven in the morning and shall help me with tasks that need doing."

"Seven in the morning?!" Gary moans.

"Don't worry, Gare-bear, it'll be fun!" I assure him but freeze after I realise what I just called him. I hear Will laughing and Mary follows with Daisy laughing the loudest. Professor Oak just smiles.

"Gare-bear?!" Daisy echoes through laughs.

"Misty, what have you done?" Gary hisses at me. I smile and pat him on his back.


By the end of my visit, I've bonded with all the Oak family. I now have Daisy's number and I have a work experience job. I'm excited but nervous. I give the Oaks all a goodbye and kiss Gary on the cheek. He tells me that I'll see him at school and with that, I'm off home.


When I get home, I run to my room and sit on my bed. Suddenly, a rock smashes through my bedroom window and narrowly misses my head.

I jump up in fright and run out of the room. When my courage comes back to me, I see that the rock has a note stuck to it with tape.

I pick it up and read the message:

I WILL have my revenge on you.

I shudder when I read it and pace around my room, trying to think who would do this. I don't know many people who would want to get me.

This is too clever for my sisters and Zoey would never do this. She would never.

"Think, Misty, think!" I order myself. I walk around my room in circles to get my brain thinking.

I think back to someone.

And then I shudder.

I know who this is.

I know who is out to get me.

…Karen.

I hoped you liked it! I'm sorry to say, but this story is nearing an end. I will still solve this cliff-hanger, though. So don't you worry!
