Paul turned around immediately when Misty shut the door. He could hear Misty and May laugh hysterically. He felt frustrated and a little embarrassed. Paul turned back to face the girl sitting in bed. "I'm here to tutor you," Paul said.

"Oh," Dawn said, surprised. Dawn knew she had a fever coming, or her face was just warming up from embarrassment. "Sorry that my friends bothered you and thanks for coming."

"It's nothing," he said.

"You can sit there," Dawn said, pointing at the chair Misty was sitting on earlier. "My textbooks and notebooks are on my desk. You can scoot a further away from me since I'm sick." Paul didn't move the chair, and took a seat next to her. He was literally next to her. "Did you hear me?"

He nodded. "Wouldn't you feel offended if I backed away from you?" Dawn shrugged. Paul sighed, grabbing a textbook from the nearby desk. "I can't believe you got sick. How late have you been staying up?"

"Like eleven to one-ish," Dawn answered. He sighed again and Dawn gave a nervous look. "Sorry. I mean, I really wanted to pass. If I study hard, I can get it in a week. I've been really lazy this year and last year."

"I figured," Paul said. "I always see you in the teacher's office after school. It happened last year, too.

Dawn blushed. "You noticed?" he shrugged. Dawn didn't know if she should feel embarrassed or sad. First, she felt embarrassed since the guy she likes always sees her in the office in trouble. Second, she felt embarrassed because Paul noticed her. Well, people always notice her since she's famous, but Paul doesn't care about that stuff. He doesn't even know who Misty is. And Paul actually looked at her.

"Your house is big," Paul said. "As expected from four famous girls."

"Yeah," Dawn said, shrugging. "We make a lot of money."

Paul flipped through her textbook. "I'll ask you questions. Answer them."

"What subject?" she asked.

"Geography," he answered. Dawn groaned. "You're so troublesome. This is easy; it's pretty much a review from eighth grade."

She pouted. "Sorry." Dawn pointed at the glass of water on the table, asking Paul to pass it to her. Once he did, Dawn's hands slipped and the water spilled all over her shirt. "Crap!" she yelled. She was wearing white. Again, she was wearing white. What happens when white clothes get wet?

They turn see through. Paul, even though this never happens to him, blushed when he saw Dawn's underclothing, her bra. "I'll leave them room and let you change," he said, heading for the door. His hand arrived to the doorknob and he failed to turn it. It wouldn't budge. "What the hell? Your friends locked it."

"What?" Dawn yelled. "I have a lock on my door?"

"Apparently," he said.

They didn't move for minutes, and Dawn finally let out a sneeze. "Um, Paul," Dawn said. He waited for her to continue talking. "Can you go to my closet and give me a shirt? I don't care which one." Paul didn't talk and opened the closet, and it was a really long walk in closet. Paul's face was filled with amazement. There were two rows of clothes on each wall, several drawers, and some hooks for hats, belts and scarves. As expected of a celebrity, he thought.

He took a pink shirt that felt comfortable to his fingertips. Paul walked out and shut the door. "Your closet is amazing," he said, throwing her the shirt.

"Thanks," Dawn said. Paul nodded. Dawn stared at him, and he frowned.

"What?"

"Nothing," she said. "Just, can you turn around?"

Paul turned around immediately. What an idiot; the reason why he gave her a shirt in the first place was so she could change. What was he doing? Paul knew he was starring at her, her white shirt was… Paul stopped his train of thoughts. There's no way he could be thinking of these things.

"I'm done," Dawn said, throwing the white shirt in a bin of dirty clothing. "Let's continue studying?"

"Alright," Paul said, walking back to the chair that was next to her.

What am I doing?

November 14

The next morning, Leaf was awoken by someone's hands on her waist, tickling her. "Oh em gee," she said, kicking the teen. He laughed. "Geez, what a friendly way to wake me up, Gary."

"I know," Gary said. He bent down to pick his shirt from the ground. "Maybe I should wear a different shirt, huh?" Leaf was about to ask 'why?' but she kept her mouth shut. Gary smirked. "You know why." Gary read her like a book. "Cuz it smells like sweat, huh?"

Leaf wrapped the blanket around her, and she rolled over to face the other side of the room. "Shut up."

He laughed. "That wasn't cute. Leafy, aren't you going to give me a good morning kiss?"

"No," Leaf said. "After I brush my teeth and—"

"Get dressed?" Gary finished. Leaf blushed and threw a pillow at him.

"Get out!" she yelled, her face totally red. "Or go in the bathroom or something."

He walked towards the door after slipping on an undershirt. "I'm going to my room to get dressed and then I'm coming back." Leaf nodded, and Gary opened the door and saw Laura walking by. He walked past her.

"Gary?" she said.

Gary felt annoyed. He felt annoyed seeing her after a "good time" with Leaf, and he even had to hear a voice. Gary ignored her and went right into his room which was two rooms away from Leaf's. He shut the door and looked in the mirror.

It's only been about one or two weeks since they got back together. He already felt great. Gary smiled at his reflection and opened his luggage. Gary picked out a casual outfit. He combed his hair, washed his face and brushed his teeth. Gary put the key to his room in his pocket and he exited the room.

Laura was standing there. Before Gary could speak, she started to talk. "Why would you pick Leaf?" she asked. "I swore that we would get together. Can't you see? I'm better than her! I'm prettier, more popular," Gary laughed at that. That was false. She glared and continued. "My dad makes a hell of money and…"

"Your dad," Gary said. "Everything about you that makes you what you call great is because of your dad. You even made your dad pay the director so you can be in this movie. Leaf is rich because of her passion for singing. She is independent and she gets things herself and she doesn't do dirty plans." Laura glared. "Sorry, but I am never dating you. Go find someone else…"

"Like who?" she asked.

Gary thought of some guy he knew. He smirked, thinking of this old guy. "Alex Proyas." Gary smirked and went back to Leaf's room. He opened the door; he took the second key to Leaf's room from her.

"What the hell?" Leaf yelled when Gary entered. "Gary, I'm changing!"

Gary snickered. "Nice view." Leaf threw another pillow at him. "Okay, I'll go on the deck."

"Please," Leaf said, taking out clothes from her suitcase. After putting them on, she went in the bathroom to do her morning procedure.

Ten minutes later, she walked outside and tapped his shoulder. "Sorry for yelling," she said. Gary said it was fine and Leaf put her arms around his neck. She pushed her lips against his, and Gary was caught off guard. He then slipped his arms around her waist and kissed her back.

"That was a surprise," he said after they pulled away to breath.

She blushed, but her stubborn face still remained. "Well, who said they wanted a morning kiss?"

"I should give you one too," Gary said, bringing her closer and putting his cool lips to her warm ones. Leaf hugged him tighter.

Minutes later, Leaf's phone started to ring. "Hello?"

"Leaf Green!" the person at the other end yelled. "You better be here in five minutes! You were supposed to come ten minutes ago so we can work on your hair!"

"Okay, I'll be right there," Leaf said. She shut her phone and glared at him. "It's going to be your fault if I'm late." Gary smirked and they ran back in the room. Leaf grabbed her purse and the two went back to the studio.

May stood up and walked to the teacher, handing him her test. "What do you think, May Maple?" her English teacher asked. He always addressed her by her full name, but she didn't really care.

"Great," May said. "English is my best subject."

"I'm glad to hear," he said. "Now take a seat and do something quietly."

"Yes sir," she said, going back to her seat. She took out her phone and texted Misty: I'm done with my English. Want to go somewhere after school?

Misty texted back immediately, I have an interview with the director of MTV. He wants me to sing one of my new songs. By the way, Leaf told me last night having a band wouldn't be a good idea because we might be at different places. It's kinda too late anyways.

Yeah, I figured. Sigh… Dawn's going somewhere with Paul today. The bell rang and May's phone buzzed again.

Why don't you hang out with Drew today? Misty texted. May didn't respond but shoved her phone back in her back pocket of her jeans.

What a coincidence, Drew was there. He was leaning against the wall, looking at her. "What?" May said after she was close enough for him to hear her.

"How do you think your tests went?" he asked.

"Fine," she said. "I studied, you know."

"You're funny," Drew said.

"What?" May said. "That wasn't even supposed to be funny."

"No, your face!" Drew exclaimed. "You were pouting and angry at the same time." May punched his arm. "Want to go grab something to eat?"

May shrugged. "Sure."

"Do you have to go to your locker for anything?" Drew asked. May shook her head. "Alright, let's go." May moved her bangs from her face. "Drew, are you going to keep singing?"

"No," Drew said. "I'm not interested anymore. I kind of want to be an engineer for computers."

"Oh," May said. "I can somehow imagine that." They left the school and May turned. "Where are we going, Drew?"

"There are three choices," Drew said after he stopped walking. "You can choose a bakery, café or a fast food place."

"Café!" May yelled.

"Shh," Drew said. "People will hear you."

May glanced around but luckily no one heard. May slipped her hood over her head. "Kay, let's move. Are we going in your car?" Drew nodded and they went to his car. May sat in the passenger's seat and Drew started the engine. "How long will it take to get there?"

"Like five minutes or less," Drew said, leaving his parking spot and leaving the school. Drew caught May thinking hard and he smirked. "What are you thinking about, May?"

"Nothing, just," May said. "Misty and Leaf both has a boyfriend. Dawn is about to have a boyfriend. Well, Misty says so because she thinks Paul likes her. It's hard to tell. And once she gets Paul, I'm going to be the only single one!"

"That's too bad," Drew said. "You have a lot of fans so you shouldn't be complaining."

"April told me I'm not supposed to date my fans," May said. "Oh well. I'll focus on my career for now." They arrived at the café, and Drew didn't unlock the door. May stared at him. "Drew, won't you unlock it?"

"Oh sorry," Drew said. "I was daydreaming."

"Obviously," May said.

Drew unlocked the car and took a deep breath. What was he thinking? He almost asked May out right at the spot.

Oooooh Drew! You might wanna save it for the date this Saturday! LOL.

Yes, I added oldrivalshipping and contestshipping! I don't even know what day it is in the story… maybe it's Thursday or Wednesday. I'll just make it Thursday, whatever. I hope you all are satisfied, because I am. Cuz I made Paul and Drew [love]struck. Hopefully they do not kill me.

What else? VOTE ON MY POLL! (: AND REVIEW! If you review, I will… um, update soon! The reason I updated today is because I don't have school today so I'm hell of bored. It's like MEA week or something. I don't know.
