A/N: Presenting to you*drumroll* Estrella! Aka the lovely America Ferrera. I'm going to start from Estrella's POV, to Nikita's POV, then finally at Maeve's POV.
''This is AMAZING!" I exclaim. I begin to side step and snap my fingers in joy. Maeve and Nikita stare at me, looking at me peculiarly.
''Um? How are you guys not acting happy? We're blessed a bunch of hot, bad boys for a MONTH!" I state. Nikita and Maeve sigh.
''You're right, Estrella. It would be nice to be with a sporty guy. Like me." Nikita replies.
"I call dibs on a clever guy. Nerdy but cute." Maeve tells us.
''I like my guys that are fighters. You guys have such cliche ideal types that it's making me sick. " I made a gesture where my finger is on my tongue and start making gagging noises.
''Okay boys, come out, come out wherever you are!" The woman exclaims. I had anticipated this moment even though this woman had told us the news only 5 minutes ago. I listened to the sound of their footsteps and clenched onto the hands of Maeve and Nikita. I felt their bones crack and they glared at me. I didn't care.
I stared at the 3 boys approaching.
"Pinch me to make sure this isn't a dream." I feel a sudden jolt up my hand.
"Ow!" I whimper and glare at Maeve who was smirking.
A muscular guy, dressed in a sports jersey and sneakers, flung onto Maeve. Her smile turned into a frown. I watched where each of the boys went.
Uh oh. Nikita is not going to like this. That was her ideal type.
Another boy who held boxing boots and gloves in his hands approached Nikita.
NO! THAT WAS MY GUY-MINES! And now he goes to...Nikita. That must mean I'm going with the nerdy guy.
I sigh obnoxiously and stare at the dude with glasses awkwardly sitting himself near me.
"Okay men. Now, introduce yourselves to these ladies." The woman yells. The boy in a sports jersey stood up.
''Hello ladies. I'm Carter." He aimed a wink at all of us.
''So I used to be captain on almost all sports team in my old high schools. But you know, stuff happens..." He bit his lip seductively, and Nikita looked like she was literally about to drool on him.
Ri-dic-u-lous. Too cocky. Besides who does he think he is? Not even that cute.
The nerd walks up, and grins at me.
Yea I'm not turned on right now. I feel nauseous instead.
"Name's Mason. Got in big trouble because I got caught hacking into...something on my computer." He smirked.
Maybe...just maybe he might hack into my ex's account and find a way to embarass him...
The boy with the boxing boots ans gloves stood and looked at all of us. I smiled as I looked at his abs, revealed through his thin cotton shirt.
Before speaking, he stopped and winked at me. Maeve and Nikita rolled their eyes, and I muffled my giggles, ignoring Nikita and Maeve's glares.
''I'm Lenny. Got in trouble. Knocked too many lights out...all you need to know."
''Hey you. The name's Estrella. Call me. I'll give you my digits." I hold up the call me gesture with my pinky and thumb. Nikita pulls him over to her chair.
I pulled out a tissue in my pocket and a pen as I wrote the digits on the sheet. I passed it to him and he just stares at me, in the corner of my eye I see the tissue crumbled into a ball by his fist.
Well I got screwed over. But the question is...how did the woman who planned this out alreasy know our ideal types. I dont remember filling out a survey about dating.
"Hi." I said emotionless
"Hey. " He responded awkwardly.
"So...like what would you like to do?..."
"Nothing! Now leave me alone." I mutter.
He remained silent and I sighed.
Oh gosh. This kid is painfully awkward.
"Look I'm sorry...I'm just pissed. I wanted to be paired up with someone else." I showed him my puppy face, but he wasn't convinced. Mason chuckled instead.
"You really think you can convince me with that? Come on now! Try harder." He said smoothly.
Whoa. I never thought I couldn't persuade him to switch partners...I Mean it's looks like its so easy to take advantage of him...
"You know what I am genuinely sorry. And if you don't believe me that's no longer my problem!" My voice was filled with fury yet I was trying to sound calm. I dig my nails into my palm and groan.
"I'm sorry. I just have a temper. That's all." I mutter.
"I see. But the thing is-" Mason leans in "You are cute when you're mad. My specialty is being a jerk so I'm very lucky."
I begin to make gagging noises and I'm feeling very uncomfortable.
Who does he think he is? Shy boy transformed switched up pretty quick.
I took out my phone and texted Nikita and Maeve.
Estrella: Hey guys...how did it go with you guys so far ? Mines was horrible?
Nikita: Why? What happened?
Maeve: Uh oh...Estrella, you didn't knock him out or anything right?
Estrella: No but I should've...
Nikita: Good. So what happened then?!
Estrella: He was trying to be nice but I was still kinda mad about the pairing up situation....You're so lucky, Maeve. I wish he could be mines. Anyways I freaked out on him a little and I apologized. But I guess I wasn't be genuine and I also gave my notorious sad puppy face. He didn't believe me. Apparently I need to try harder.

"Piper, where have you been?"
"In the building nearby, I'm doing a project." I said nonchalantly.
"For what?" My mother had responded, her eyebrow raising skeptically.
"For...um...scientific purposes." I replied.
"Oh alright...don't get into any trouble..." My mother warned.
"I won't." I said, attempting to reassure her.
15 minutes later, we were already home. I guess we will meet back at that place tomorrow then.
Well today didn't turn out to be good...Oops.
