Hello everyone! Yes, tis true, I am back!

Sorry for the extreeemely long pause in my writing, I only just realised how long it'd been since I last updated.

Oh well, here you go, chapter six!

Enjoy!

LEAF POV

I was in the middle of standing up to move desks, when Gary pulled me back down.

"And just where do you think you're going?"

I should've seen it coming, it was so predictable. Well, it was the price I had to pay.

"What do you want, Gary?"

The bastard smirked that arrogant smirk of his as he leaned back in his chair.

"Oh, nothing outrageous. I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable after all."

"Believe me boy, I doubt I could get any more uncomfortable," I replied to his suspiciously untrustworthy remark.

"Fine, I'll just get straight to the point then."

Oh, how considerate of him.

Gary turned his body towards me before leaning forward and placing both his hands on each of his knees, "I want you to go out with me."

Should've seen that coming.

"Yeah, uh, no thanks," I answered as I again began to stand and switch desks. This guy never gave up and I wanted to strangle him for it.

"Oh come on! I just helped you out!"

"Yes and if I had known it would result in this then I probably would have just accepted the creep's invite to the House of Boring."

"Look, all I'm asking for is one date, one, and then I'll leave you alone for the rest of the year." He was beginning to seem desperate, and I couldn't help but consider his offer. After all, it was exactly what I wanted.

"Really?" I shot him a raised eyebrow to show that I was skeptical.

"Yep."

"The entire year?"

"Uh-huh."

"No catch?"

"No catch, however if the date does change your mind and make you realize that your head over heels in love with me, I'm sure I could schedule you in for another." He winked suggestively and it took all I had in me not to beat him with my shoe.

"Only in your dreams and my nightmares, boy." Yep, I took the high road with a snappy comment. I was all class.

And at that exact and perfectly chosen moment Professor Rowan burst through the door, immediately ending all conversation and stopping me from actually having to make any plans with the pervert. Life was odd, yet good.

"I heard talking!" the professor eyed us all with his beady pupils, the white hairs standing up on his head, "This is detention! You may not speak!"

With that traumatizing bundle of screams, he stormed over to his desk and plomped himself in his chair, arms folded and eyes glaring. Thank god for mentally unstable assholes.

With nothing else to do, I began to ponder my current situation as my mind wandered from reality. Thanks to the teacher I was now able to sprint out the door and away from Gary without him being able mention any form of 'date'. The idea would be gone and I could live my life knowing he would always be there, hiding in the corner awaiting the next opportunity to win my affections. However, if I went through with it and gave him what he desired, I could successfully end all fascination in me and live my life free of Gary Oak. And what would it cost? Just one night with the jerk, trying my best not to break his stupid nose. I could do that, right? And, considering my other option, it would be the preferred choice. So, why not? What have I got to lose? I can only gain from this, right? Yeah, this could work.

I had made my decision. Now all I had to do was make the plans, preferably without any personal contact with the boy I hated so passionately. Suddenly, the perfect plan sprung into my head. I swiftly grabbed a scrap of paper from my desk, took out a pen and began scribbling. I was a genius.

GARY POV

Well, this sucked. The perfect opportunity had finally found its way into my lap, yet all had been ruined by one cruel, old man. This sucked big time.

That was it, I was done. Leaf would never allow herself within the same airspace as me, and I had no other form of contact. I had lost my big moment, and it wasn't even my doing. It was over. I would never get the girl. I could no longer call myself the Master of Love. My life would become a lie. No more could I pride myself on my ability to get any girl. No more could I bask in the glory of my own irresistible good-looks. No more could I – hey, what was that?

I raised my hand to the side of my head where it felt like I had been hit by a small, yet quite hard rock. I scanned the floor and spotted the blue eraser lying by my foot.

That angered me. Who had the nerve to throw something at such a godly figure as me? But there was only one answer to that question, and I winced a little at the thought of it.

I turned my head in Leaf's direction. Sure enough, she was playing it cool, staring off into the distance, as though she hadn't just assaulted my precious head. She couldn't fool me.

I shot her a dirty look, which I preyed she didn't see and turned my head back to my desk.

Something was different. On the top corner of the desk I spied a lined piece of roughly folded paper. I raised my eyebrow suspiciously, what could that be?

I quickly grabbed the paper, swiftly unfolding it to observe the messy yet elegant handwriting.

Text me tonight with the date and time.

Let's get this over with.

Following that was her phone number. I glanced over the digits, suppressing the urge to burst out into a glorious musical number that expressed just how blissful this feeling was.

I could feel Rowan glaring at me, so I wiped the scrunched up smirk off my face and returned to my usual without-a-care attitude. But this was far from my state of being, as the excitement overtook my body as the wheels in my head conjured up the perfect date for a resistant girl.

THAT NIGHT

Okay, this was harder than I'd thought.

I sat on my laptop, searching the internet for ideas on the perfect date. But nothing seemed right. I mean sure, they would've done for any ordinary girl, but Leaf was stubborn and critical, not to mention she hated my guts. The night had to be beyond perfect if I had any shot of hooking up. Which was, of course, the ultimate goal. Unfortunately that meant I had to make the girl like and trust me before the evening was over. That was the tricky part.

But this was me. When other guys would admit defeat, I would bounce back with a plan ten times greater than the last. Gary Oak never gave up, and Gary Oak never lost. I would win over the girl, and I would achieve my goal and then be free to continue my conquest for every last girl in the school. Sure, I had hit a minor speed bump along the way, but nothing that could stop me in my tracks. Leaf was just another girl, and soon I would be done with her and onto the next.

I decided I needed a walk to clear my head. Thinking had begun to hurt and I needed a break.

I grabbed my jacket, threw on some old sneakers and walked out the front door. It was late, but the air was cool and refreshing. I followed the line of streetlights down my street, no destination in mind as I walked. I placed my hands in my pockets and drew in a deep breath of crispy air.

This was bad. I was running out of time. I needed a plan soon.

I withdrew my phone from my pocket to check my sent messages.

I'll see you tomorrow night at 7:00.

Can't wait babe.

To this she replied an hour later with her address and a hurtful remark. That girl sure was feisty. Still, it was idiotic of me to have given the plans without any idea as to what we would actually do.

The anger at my stupidity suddenly built up inside of me and I felt an overpowering urge to throw all of my energy into a wild punch. Sadly for me, this punch was directed at a large tree on the edge of the road. I yelped in pain as my fist was met with a hard force of wood. I drew my hand to my face, examining it for any serious damage and attempting to nurse it better with puffs of air.

I looked up at the tree with fury. This, however, shortly dissolved as I spotted a poster stapled to the old bark. I ripped it off and held it with disbelief.

Oh yes, this was perfect.

I made a fist with my undamaged hand and threw it into the air with joy. I had done it. I had discovered an amazing place to take a gorgeous girl. Everything would work out once again. Nothing could stop me. After all, I was Gary Oak.

Sooo? did you enjoy? I wanna hear all about it in the comments! Go crazy!

I'll try to update ASAP but, knowing me that could be in 10 years D:

Kidding!
