I am sooo happy I actually have six reviews! I wanna thank Clydell Humphries and RANDOMNINJA2398 for reviewing the last chapter. They're both really talented authors and you should check out their fanfics. Anyways, on with the story!

LEAF'S POV

I spent the rest of Saturday and practically all of Sunday holed up in my room crying about how Gary won't like me that way and how we're just friends, how lucky Misty is to have boyfriend as far as I know, and I started thinking about my dad too. All the crying and tissues made me sick. I got a cold, threw up, I'm not going to get into details. It was pretty nasty.

It was a sunny senior break, and I had to waste it in my house. Mom worked from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. I was irritated because she insisted I have a "babysitter" because if something happened while I was sick, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Misty was too busy with her gym training, exams, and Ash. I hadn't seen Trina since that Saturday morning, and she didn't answer when I called her. I didn't know what she was up to. Ash was, well, Ash. Then who did my mom send to watch me, because I was pretty sure I listed everyone. It didn't help for her to make me confused and sick.

I heard the door open, heels click out the door, and someone coming up to my room. I decided to pretend to be sleeping. It always worked. Someone knocked on my door. I just laid there quietly. The person entered my room and I heard them laugh.

"Wow, Leaf. You really think you can fool me?"

I was completely under my covers. Oh no, it can't be. I groaned. Crap. Way to blow your cover Leaf.

"Come out before I come in."

I slowly emerged.

He laughed again. "You look great."

Fixing my hair and tying it up, I said, "Thanks, Gary. I appreciate it."

He sat on my bed. "I'm now your babysitter for the whole week. You do what I say or I'll tell your mother who will put you on a time-out."

"Shut up," I said while punching him playfully.

I coughed. "Ugh, I hate being sick."

"Is it because I'm here?" he said, obviously being sarcastic.

"I feel terrible. You don't make it any better."

He got up. "Maybe I'll leave then."

"No! Take me downstairs!" I whined.

"Come on them."

I stuck out my tongue. "Give me a piggy-back ride!"

"No way."

"Is my mom paying you?"

He looked back at me with a puzzled expression. "Yeah, why?"

I smiled. "I can change that."

He sighed. "Fine."

I smiled even wider. Gary is so in for it.

XXXXXXXXX

Mom came home late that night and talked to me after Gary left.

She asked, "How was your babysitter?"

I looked at her with that Are you serious? look. "Gary's my babysitter. How do you think it went?"

She was silent for a moment before speaking. "I'm guessing fighting was involved. Look, sweetie. I asked all your friends if they could watch you. Misty had gym stuff, I didn't have Trina's number and I'm pretty sure she's busy, I didn't even ask Ash. Gary was the first yes. I can't leave you alone when you're sick. Now go up to bed. Goodnight, Leaf."

I went up and laid in my bed. This is gonna be a long weekend. I have to hang out with a guy I like who only likes me as a friend. I guess I'll just act like me.

God help me.

Tell me if I made any mistakes cuz I don't feel like checking my spelling and stuff right now. Pretty please review with extra cherries on top!
