Bens POV

Biology was crazy I got Melissa McCormack's number, she touched my shoulder and I'm meeting her later. I speedily walked all over the school trying to find Mandy I saw her going down a hall.

"Mandy...Mandy!...Mandy!!" She finally turned and looked very confused.

"Hey Ben? why the speed"

"I got Melissa McCormack's number!"

"What?" she asked stunned.

"Yeah," I just know I was beaming, "Oh I totally forgot to ask how's The Harvard Plan?" If you aren't up to speed Mandy is acting completely delusional but as her best friend, I have to support her. Her plan is to convince Graham Lansing to let her tutor him, and charm him and his father to get a letter of rec for Harvard.

"No progress. But I do have an idea" She dragged me out to a lunch table. "Charles! Zenobia! come here" She then asked about Graham and Zenobia told us he is failing AP psych. "Perfect!" Mandy squealed.

"Okay, so how are you going to casually bring up his failing grades?"

"Well there is a party tonight, The whole grade is going... except well you two"

"Not anymore" Mandy said mostly to herself.

"WHAT?!" I asked shocked.

"Yes, we are going," Mandy said finishing her notes.

"No, we are not" I replied, Charles and Zenobia had left at this point.

"Yes. It is not up for discussion" Mandy said lifting her bag and leaving.

"Shit," I said to myself before leaving to go to the library to meet Melissa McCormack.

I got to the Library and got a table near the back. It was still lunch so I decided to wander around the books. I went to the different sections, I walked over to the science books to find one on cells for the project.

"Boo!"

"Shit!" I yelled. I turned around to see Melissa McCormack.

"Scare you, Ben?" She said giggling.

"N-no" I stuttered. "L-let's j-just do the p-project," I said walking over to the desk I had chosen, Melissa McCormack followed and sat beside me putting her chin in her hand and leaning close to me, she looked cute.

"I have an idea for the project" She said smiling.

"Oh, g-go on" I hate stuttering around pretty girls.

"We could draw the cells and write what they contain below with compare/contrast boxes" She was leaning over me to show where we could put things on the page, she was so pretty.

"You-hoo? Ben you there?" she was clicking he fingers and waving her hands in my face shit.

"Oh yeah, that's a really good idea" I was smiling at her like an idiot.

"Do you wanna draw the plant or animal cell?" she asked opening her pink notebook to a clean page.

"I-I can't r-really draw" damn it the stutter is back.

"The plant cell is more complicated so I could do that one" she said writing it in her notebook "and we can do the notes together"

"p-perfect" I said unfortunately giving an awkward double thumbs up.

She giggled at my awkwardness and smiled at me. She looked at her phone. "Ben I'm so sorry I have to go meet Maddie" she said touching my shoulder before packing up "I will text you ok?"

"ummm yeah for sure!"

She left after that and I looked at my phone to see Mandy had blown it up with texts yippie!
