Leaf's Pov
A few days had passed, and now it was Thursday. Over the past five days, everyone was doing their own thing, of course we met up and hung out, but we were very busy. At least we had time now.
I was walking to class with May, Misty and Dawn late. "So, remember how everyone was talking about a new student? Well today, that new student is joining our class." May said, smiling. I smirked, "Is May May excited? You think he's going to be cute, don't you?" She rolled her eyes. "No, but I'm just curious." Whatever you say May~
We walked into home room, sitting down. I looked at Gary, who was smiling like an idiot. "What are you so happy about?" "I'm just happy because everything is going good, we'll be able to go to Lavender and nothing will ruin it." He said, smiling at me.
I blushed, while he chuckled. "Okay class, today we have a new student. Please, come in." A tall, somewhat built male came in. He had scarlet red spiky hair, and brown eyes. He wore a black shirt, and black pants. "Introduce yourself."
"My name is Lance Wataru. I'm from Blackthorn City, and I'm 17." He said, bowing slightly. I could already hear the whispers.
"He's cute!"
"Not as cute as Gary though!"
"Thank you Lance, you may sit in front of Leaf." I raised my hand, Lance's eyes widening slightly as he looked me over, before he sat down. He turned, smiling. "I'm Lance, but you probably already know that." I giggled, "I'm Leaf, nice to meet you." I heard a growl next to me, seeing Gary glaring daggers at Lance, who didn't seem to notice it.
"Well, it's nice to meet you Leaf, I hope we can be friends." He replied, his smile growing bigger. I giggled, he seemed really nice. He was cute to. Although I think Gary is hot, so..
Speaking of Gary, he had this murderous aura around him that was kind of freaking me out. Maybe he just remembered something. "Leaf, I was wondering. May I sit with you during lunch?" I thought about it. I guess we could sit somewhere else, my friends wouldn't mind, right? "Sure!" He smiled once more.
He smiles a lot. He must be a happy person or something.
Ms. Sabrina let us talk, everyone moving around to talk to friends. Lance sighed, chuckling. "This school seems.." "Lazy? Disappointing? Weird?" He nodded."You'll get use to it. This school is probably the weirdest school you'll ever attend."
"Leaf. I need to talk to you. Now." I looked at Gary, who was staring at me, a serious look on his face. "I'm sorry, I'll give you two privacy." Lance walked off. Hmm, respectful to. "I don't like him." I stared at him in amusement. "Why not? Afraid he'll take away your spot as hottest boy in school?" He glared darkly at me, making me shiver. He seems really angry..
"I don't want you near him." I stared in surprise, before giving him a glare of my own. "I can be around whoever I want to be around. I don't know why you hate him, he's respectful!" Gary's eyes narrowed more, while he growled. "Then that means I'll have to be there. I did say I would protect you and all."
"Gary. I don't know why you are so angry, but please. I'll be fine, plus I'm just eating lunch with him. What's so bad about that?" He grumbled something, sighing and looking away. "Whatever, Leaf. Do what you want.." I frowned, seeing him turn his back towards me. Silent treatment, eh? Fine, I don't care.
I still wonder whats wrong with him though..
Gary's Pov
I can't believe her! New student comes in, and she treats him better than me!
I glared darkly at him. I don't care if his name is Lance. He's nothing to me. What does he have that I don't? Why would she want to eat lunch with him and not me? Why am I feeling this way..?
I sighed, getting up as the bell rang. Ash walked up to me, Drew and Paul smirking knowingly. "What are you guys smirking about?" I grumbled. Ash chuckled, "You do know that it was obvious, how much you wanted to kill that Lance guy, right?" I shrugged. I don't care. "Are you, by any chance, jealous?" Drew said, snickering. I glared at him, walking away.
I'm not jealous. There is nothing to be jealous about. I don't like Leaf, not in that way at least. Who cares if that Lance guy hangs out with her? I don't! Who cares if she leaves us for him? I don't care at all! Who cares if she gets married to him and-
"You do know you said that out loud, right?" Ash said, while Drew was laughing his ass off, Paul trying not to laugh. "S-so?!" Ash sighed, smiling sympathetically. "You know, if you wanna talk about how much you wanna kill the new kid, you can come to me." He said. I sighed. "Thanks.." Ash nodded. While Drew frowned. "Hey! We care! Right Paul?" "Hmph."
Sure you do. Laughing at my misery means you care a whole bunch. "Yet you were laughing at me. Some friends you are." Drew grumbled something. "Sorry.." "Uh huh." I walked ahead, Ash calling me as I ignored him. I don't want to be around people who will laugh at my misery.
I walked into Gym class, feeling my blood boil as I saw Lance talking to Leaf, who was leaning against the wall. I walked over to them, Leaf noticing me first. "Finally over your little tantrum?" I glared, making her eyes widen in surprise. "Hey, don't glare at her, she's just joking around with you." Lance said, trying to calm me down.
He better get away from me. I don't like him. I glared once more at Leaf, before walking away.
She has to choose. Us, or Lance.
Dawn's Pov
The first thing I noticed when I arrived to gym class was a furious Gary. I also noticed an amused Paul, and Leaf talking to that new kid. I walked up to Paul, who was watching Gary in amusement. "I'm confused, Paulie. What's going on?" He glared at me, "First off, don't call me Paulie. Second, Gary is jealous." He didn't call me troublesome! "Why is he jealous?" Paul pointed to Leaf.
"He's jealous because Leaf is hanging out with the new kid, and had agreed to eat lunch with him. She also said he was cute apparently." I don't like that new kid!
He's ruining one of my OTPs! How dare he! Although this does make for an interesting love-triangle~
"I can't believe this! Leaf better not choose Lance over Gary! That'll ruin one of my favorite shippings and I can't have that!" Paul rolled his eyes, mumbling something about how crazy I am. "Paul! We need a plan! We must not let the new kid mess up GaryxLeaf!" He stared at me like I was crazy. "GaryxLeaf? Troublesome. I don't care about your little plans." HOW DARE HE? DOES HE NOT SEE THE BEAUTY IN GARYXLEAF?!
"Paul Shinji! You will help me! Or I'll cry and cry until someone calls you a horrible person! I'll force you to carry my bags!" He sighed, seeming to think of it. "Either way, you'll get everyone in on your little plan, and I'll be dragged into it. Seems like I don't have much of a choice then." He said. Yes! Plan OldRival is in action!
Get it? They used to be rivals in a way? Like, uh..
OH JUST FORGET IT!
~Time skipz, lunch~
I sat at the table with the others, glaring at the new kid. How dare he ask Leaf to sit with him?! "Dawn, you said we needed to talk, that it was urgent. So tell us, instead of glaring at the new kid. Gary stop glaring as well." Misty said, making me and Gary sigh and look at them.
"Right! We must not let Lance interfere with one of my OTPs! So, I need you guys to agree to my plan, and help me prevent this horrifying thing he is trying to create!" Misty face palmed, sighing. "Dawn, I have no idea what you mean by that. Just explain it normally." I sighed, drinking some water.
"Okay, I don't like how Lance is trying to get close to our Leaf. So I made a plan to interfere and take him out!" "I'm in." Gary immediately said. We all stared in surprise at him. "I'm surprised Gary, why do you want to destroy him?" I asked. He blushed, looking away. "..Personal reasons.." Oookay then!
"Who else is in?" Ash, May and Drew raised their hands, leaving Misty there, with no answer. "Misty! Do you not want to see Leaf happy with the guy she loves? Or are you on the enemy's side?!" She sighed, raising her hand. "I'm guessing it has something to do with Leaf and that new kid getting close, so I'll do it." I cheered happily. Now, I just need to explain the plan to them!
"Okay. My plan is.. That I don't have one yet!" They all groaned in annoyance, staring at me in exasperation. "What?! I didn't expect to get this far!" Ash sighed, handing a paper to Gary. "We'll need you to draw the map of the school or wherever this plan will take place at. Dawn, think something up. The rest of us will find out more information about Lance, that we can use against him." Ash said.
"Smart Ash was activated.." Misty said, giggling.
YES! I'll be able to save one of my OTPs!
Paul's Pov
After that rather stupid lunch we had, we all went to class. I was assigned to find out more about Lance's life. Why am I doing this again? I don't really care about whatever Troublesome was freaking out about.
"Hey." I said, Lance turning around to look at me. "Oh! Paul! You are in my class, right?" I nodded, while he smiled.
Something about that smile seemed off..
"I thought we could be friends. I wanted to know more about you." I said, cringing inwardly. I can't believe Dawn is making me do this. That troublesome girl. He chuckled. "Well, I'm from Blackthorn City." I don't care. "I also love history." I nodded.
"I like horror and I'm from Veilstone City." I responded. His eyes widened. "All the way from Sinnoh?! You must miss your hometown.." Not really. The bell rang, and I was finally free from having to listen to him ramble. "I'm sorry Paul. I would love to talk more, but we mustn't be late for class."
I didn't like this guy. Something about him just screamed not trustworthy. I sighed, walking into class as Dawn texted me.
Paulie! What did you get?! –Dawn I rolled my eyes.
First, don't call me Paulie. Second, he told me he's from blackthorn, and that he likes history. Would have gotten more but the bell rang. –Paul I saw her pout, throwing a little tantrum. Amusing. Cute.
I didn't say that.
Ash's Pov
After school ended, we all met up. Apparently, Leaf had texted Misty that she would be hanging out with Lance today. Needless to say, Misty was pissed, Dawn threw a tantrum the size of texas, and Gary growled like a feral animal. May, well...
She was threatening to kill everyone that passed by us.
"HEY YOU! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! STOP STARING!" Yeah..
"May. Calm down, we don't need the cops on us because of you." May sighed, sitting down as Dawn paced back and forth. "I don't get it! We need to talk to her! I understand that he's cute! I think he is to but he can't interfere with my OTPs!" I think I saw Paul glare at the floor for a second. So much jealousy in the air..
"I can't wait to get my hands on him, when I do I'll.." Gary mumbled, hands curled as he breathed in and out heavily. Everyone was just so mad right now, it was crazy. "Okay, before we do something we'll regret, how about we think of something that could help us." Drew suggested, while May nodded.
"I know! Let's talk to her brother! He doesn't seem to want any guy near Leaf right? I mean, he'll allow friends, but.." "We know what you mean May, but that guy is crazy. He seems like he'll really destroy us next chance he gets." I muttered.
May sighed, sitting back down. "Then how about we stalk her?" "Nah, to over used." Dawn said, pondering. "Well, we are going to Lavender in two days. Maybe by then she'll stay around us?" I said, although I sounded doubtful.
"I hope.."
~Time Skipz, Friday~
She didn't stick around us. In fact, she barely talked to us. When we walked in this morning, she was already talking to Lance, the both of them smiling as they laughed. It made Gary furious, he looked like he was ready to kill someone. I sighed. "D-don't worry Gary! They are just.. friends." I said, seeing my best friend's glare.
He really seemed upset, maybe I should talk to him later. The others could join in to.
"Ash, I just wanna be left alone right now.." He mumbled, walking to his seat.
Leaf didn't even greet him.
May's Pov
Why? Why was she with Lance instead of us? Dawn said she had called Leaf last night, trying to talk to her but Leaf just kept going on and on about Lance. It had made Dawn furious. It made me angry to. "May, calm down. She'll realize what she is doing wrong." Drew said, frowning. "Don't lie Drew. Even if you haven't known Leaf for a long time, you are still pretty angry that she isn't talking to us." Drew stayed quiet for a bit, before saying, "You are right. I'm angry, very angry. I just don't think we should let our anger get the best of us." "Sorry.." He chuckled. "It's okay, June." I glared at him, "MAY. M-A-Y." He snickered.
I pulled out my notebook, looking at the project progress. I started thinking about Leaf and Gary. How they both handled love. This project is really hard, but it'll be worth it. I saw Drew pass me a note. I opened it. Hey. Look over at Dawn and Paul. Then at Leaf and Gary, lastly Misty and Ash. I looked up, seeing what he was laughing at.
Paul was holding Dawn back, while she tried to get to Lance, growling and cursing. Leaf was staring at Gary, while Gary glared coldly at Lance, and Lance stared at Leaf. Lastly, Misty was whacking Ash in the head with a mallet, the poor boy trying to save himself from her wrath. They are lucky the teacher isn't here.
"Wow. What a nice day." I muttered, Drew rolling his eyes as we watched them. "So, when do you think Leaf will actually realize what she is doing wrong?" I felt the familiar wave of sadness hit me. "I don't know. I was hoping that she was just hanging out with him for a day. Turns out she completely gives him all of her attention. I don't like it, but I don't know when Leaf will pay attention to us." Drew nodded, as Mr Sabrina walked in.
I really hope she hangs out with us today.
~Yet another time skip~
I sat in the park, thinking of some ideas for the project. "Hey Maple. Let's go eat." I looked up, seeing Drew there. "You obviously want food, if your stomach is growling." I blushed in embarrassment. I got up, following him to a restaurant. "Hey Drew. Can I ask you something?" "Yeah, what is it?" I sighed, looking up at the building.
"If I gave you another chance, would you do the right thing this time?"
I know this chapter was short, but don't worry! The next one shall be long. (I'm going to try, that is..) I hope you enjoyed, and see you next time!
