Sweet Nightmare
chapter 9: Poke-Projects!
Leaf jolted up, panting and sweating.
"Whoa!" May exclaimed surprised.
"Huh?" Leaf said unsure of whats going on.
"Dawn told me to wake you up, its almost time for school." May said.
"Oh, thanks!" Leaf said in her usually happy tone.
"Well?" May said crossing her arms, "Get changed and go eat before I eat everything." May huffed as she went out the door.
Chuckling to herself, leaf got up and threw her green covers away from her, she had on green silk pajamas and a green cotton tank top.
She pulled out her uniform and started to get dressed.
Dawn and White were in the kitchen fixing up breakfast for everybody.
"Dawn can you get me the bread?"
"Sure!"
"White can you get me the milk?"
"Yeah."
Misty watched them go back and forth like a ping-pong battle, "Where's May?" She finally asked.
"She went to wake Leaf up." Dawn said said mixing pan-cake batter.
"Wasn't she already up?" Misty asked.
"Nah, Leaf doesn't wake up until someone wakes her, last time I tried to wake her up I had to pour ice cold water on her!" Dawn laughed.
Misty giggled, "No way."
Dawn nodded, "I'm not kidding."
"I SMELL BACON!" May yelled from the hallway.
"Damn." Dawn cursed, "I thought maybe we were going to get lucky and go un-noticed."
"You thought the all-mighty May would ignore the smell of bacon? HA! I laugh at your foolishness." May said coming into the kitchen.
"May stop talking medieval, speak like a lady." Dawn joked.
"Me? A lady? Who are you and what have you done to Dawn?" May joked.
"Very funny," Dawn said rolling her eyes, "Now sit and eat, Leaf will be here any minute now."
Like Dawn said Leaf appeared through the door way of the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs next to Misty, and banged her head on the table.
"I feel like shit." She muttered into the table.
"Well that was an interesting way to start your morning." White said stabbing her sausage.
"Leaf whats wrong?" Misty asked.
"I don't know, I just feel kinda sick I guess." Leaf shrugged sluggishly after picking up her head.
"Try eating, it may help." May said gulping down her orange juice.
Leaf nodded and grabbed her fork.
After cleaning up and grabbing their backpacks the girls walked out the door.
"So what does Riley have in store for us today?" May asked, she was just opening a packet of pocky.
"May," Dawn started in disbelief, "Didn't you have breakfast just a few seconds ago?!"
"But, that was a long time ago." May said in a lazy voice.
"Why am I not surprised?" Dawn joked rolling her eyes.
"Well excuse me for being hungry." May muttered.
"What was that?" Dawn asked suspiciously.
"Nothing!" May said a little too quickly.
Dawn eyed her carefully, "That's what I thought."
"So," Leaf started, "What does Riley have in store for us today?"
"Oh yeah." Dawn said taking her newly fixed LG phone out her back-pack and looking through the messages, "He said that we will be paired up with our targets and take this chance to get close to them." She said reading the message from her phone.
"That's it?" May whined, "No action? No kicking butt?" She said kicking the air in-front of her.
Dawn rolled her eyes, "That won't be necessary," She thought for a moment, "Unless they try to do something." Dawn said hinting something.
"Really Dawn?" Leaf laughed.
Dawn shrugged, "You get the idea."
From then on the girls stayed silent, Dawn placed her ear buds on and listened to music, Leaf was texting with White, May was eating, and Misty was playing a game on her phone.
It wasn't till they heard the ringing of the school bell that they put everything away and started running.
Once they entered the school they all parted.
"See you at lunch!" They all yelled simultaneously, and with a giggle they all parted ways.
~*~Leaf~*~
Leaf sat down on her seat, she placed her hot forehead onto the cool wood. She was so caught up on the good feeling that she didn't notice someone sit down next to her.
"Hey," A voice suddenly said, startling Leaf.
Leaf slowly raised her head, she felt hot, too hot. She looked up to lock eyes with her target. Her eyes widened at realization that she was sitting right next to him.
"Huh?" She asked unsure, "Where you talking to me?" she asked.
"Yeah, you don't look okay, are you sick?" Gary asked with honest concern. Which Leaf didn't catch.
She narrowed her eyes at him, "I am very much fine thank you very much." She huffed and turned to face the board. She was going to be paired up with him anyway, so why bother talking to him?
Gary, who raised his hands in front of him said, "Sorry," Then he smirked, "I just don't want you to puke all over me."
Leaf gave him a glare, "Your not good enough for my puke anyway."
Leaf thought about it and gave a small laugh, which Gary joined.
"Ms. Leaf, Mr. Shigeru, if your done flirting, can I pair up the partners now?" The teacher shot at them.
Turning a bright red Leaf muttered a 'sure'.
Leaf was not so surprised when her name was called, Gary though, seemed quite surprised.
He turned Leaf and gave her a cheeky grin, "Must be fate." He joked.
Leaf didn't get to hear him though, she had placed her forehead back down onto the cold wood. She didn't want to admit that she was sick, no. She just didn't get enough sleep.
Leaf must of fallen asleep because next thing she knew everything went black, it wasn't till a nudge on her side that she woke up.
She looked up to find the owner of the nudge to see Gary, looking down at her.
"What?" She said crankily.
"Your sick." He said more of a fact than a question.
Leaf gave an unladylike snort, "Me? Sick please."
Leaf didn't have time to react, because next thing she knew Gary was close, very close. Close enough that their foreheads were touching.
"Your forehead is hot." He said.
"Huh?" Leaf asked. The class was empty right about now, even the teacher had left to a teachers meeting.
Gaining some senses Leaf gave a hard shove at Gary, who surprised at the sudden shove fell onto his butt.
Leaf red faced from both fever and blush gave him a glare, " . !" She spat and headed to the door.
A wave of nausea hit Leaf hard. She didn't get enough time to react, because next thing she knew everything went black. She couldn't see, but she could feel. She felt to pair of soft, strong arms lift her up and carry her, but she soon lost sense of everything. Falling into a deep sleep.
