LEAF'S POV

I figured we lost Misty for at least half an hour after she texted me. Trina and I just kept playing Truth or Dare. Trina chose truth.

"Who do you like, Trina?"

"Didn't Misty already get that question?"

"Yeah, but Misty doesn't like anybody. She just kissed Ash. No biggie."

We started laughing hysterically until tears rolled down our cheeks.

"No, seriously, Trina. Who do you like?"

She was blushing a light pink. "I like Gary Oak," she said as she hid her face in her pillow.

I froze, and time stopped. "Y-you like Gary?" I stuttered.

She nodded with a confused expression. "What's wrong, Leaf? You look pale."

She gasped. "Oh no! Do you like Gary too? Does he not like me?"

"I have no idea."

Trina looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

I sighed. "I don't know if he likes you. I don't know if I like him. He doesn't act like he's interested in you or me. I don't know what goes on in his head. I can't read him at all."

Trina came over, sat next to me, and put her arm around my shoulder. "I like him because he's cute and has great hair. Why do you like him?"

"I never said I liked him."

I put my head in my hands. "I'm so confused! I'm frustrated! I'm tired of laying in my bed thinking about him! I can't get it through my head! He doesn't like me, he never liked me, and he won't ever like me! I'm just his friend!"I started to cry.

She sat there hugging me anyway. Trina was a good friend. Then I heard brisk walking down the stairs.

"Leaf, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

That's my mom for ya. She cares about me and worries about me all the time because I'm an only child. Her only close family member left.

Trina looked at my mom. I heard her whisper, "Boy trouble. You better just leave her with me."

All I know is that Mom went upstairs after that, and Misty came back. I wasn't crying as much now, just sniffling once or twice.

"Leaf, I heard you were having boy trouble."

I hate my life.
