"can i ask you something?" regina tossed her hair back as she eyed scarlett up. "you've made my life miserable for long enough that i don't think you have to ask my permission for anything," scarlett commented, not bothering to look up from her phone. she had spent most of the afternoon scrolling through heather's social media's as regina tossed out either half-baked ideas that would never work or ideas that scarlett would never be on board with.

"be serious for a second," regina rolled her eyes at the girl. "ok?" scarlett placed her phone down on regina's bed before meeting the blonde's eyes. "why do you like heather?" regina asked. "what is it about her that has you trying to secretly split her relationship up?" scarlett frowned at her. "well, why do you like aaron?" she shrugged. "i'm not the only one trying to split a relationship up." regina shook her head. "i asked you first." scarlett snorted. "so mature," she said. "it's just the feeling i get when i'm near her, i guess." regina tilted her head ever so slightly like she still didn't really understand. "i know this probably sounds weird and you're definitely going to use it against me but even just her presence makes me forget that anyone else is even around."

"i'm not going to use that against you," regina sighed. "it wouldn't surprise me if you did," scarlett muttered under her breath, when she realised the way that regina flinched at her words she couldn't help but feel just the tiniest bit guilty. "why do you want aaron back so badly?" she pressed. "i don't know, the same reason i guess." scarlett rolled her eyes. "that's all i'm getting?" she teased. "maybe you just took the words right out of my mouth with your explanation." regina paused for a moment. "it's funny how someone can make you feel that much, right?"

"yeah," scarlett nodded slowly. "it's also a little scary." regina raised a brow. "why's that?" she asked. "well obviously i'm a hopeless romantic and i like to think that everything works out but it's just a lot to feel about one person when everything could come crashing down," scarlett replied. regina caught her bottom lip between her teeth. "you think it's going to come crashing down for you?" scarlett shrugged. "i'm hoping not," she let out a small laugh. "you think it'll come crashing down for you?"

"yeah i do."
"oh gi that's-"
"did you just call me gi? have you forgotten that you're supposed to hate my guts?"

scarlett blushed furiously, unaware that she had somehow created a nickname for the blonde and used it to her face. if there was ever a time for the ground to swallow her whole, she would've been perfectly fine with it happening at that moment. "and why do you think i hate your guts?" she crossed her arms. "you've only acted like a bitch towards me since forever." regina studied her for a moment, her eyes travelling over the girls face. "whatever," she cleared her throat. "anyways i was thinking i could get one of the varsity guys to make a move on heather, if you could just get aaron to the auditorium."

"um, maybe?" scarlett narrowed her eyes at the girl. "isn't aaron friends with them?" regina shrugged. "yeah but they're obsessed with me, they'd do anything for me." scarlett bit back her laughter at that. "i'm serious," regina grinned. "i can pretty much get shane oman to do anything." she pulled out her phone. "don't text him," scarlett reached forward and snatched the phone from the girls hand. "what if he shows someone?" she dropped regina's phone onto the bed. "it won't work," she continued. "heather isn't the cheating type."

"right because you know heather past your little delusions," regina raised a brow. "what's your bright idea then?" scarlett considered her options for a minute before she let out a small sigh. "i mean you could flirt a little with aaron," she said. "somewhere private enough that no one will be around but me and then i can snap a picture, we can anonymously upload it and make sure it gets to heather." she met regina's eyes. "heather might be immune to shane oman or any of the varsity guys but aaron samuels has never been immune to you."

"that's not the worst idea," regina said. "i mean, it's not as fun as my ideas but i can work with it." scarlett scoffed. "yeah and i can make it worse when the picture gets to heather," she shrugged. "i can say i've heard you talking about him and that it sounds like he really wants you back, if she starts arguing with him, he'll flee right back into your arms." regina nodded. "and heather falls right into yours," she finished. "exactly," scarlett replied. "you in?" regina smiled. "of course i'm in."
