"I have something to tell you." Chloe says nervously.

"Go ahead." I reply instantly regretting coming into school today, and walking over to her to attempt to re build our friendship.

"Well, it's just that I was thinking about having the whole group from London coming up here to meet, and I didn't know about what happened between you and Sean so I invited him as well." She tells me.

"Why don't you just un-invite him or tell him it's cancelled, or tell our friends how much of a monster he is." I snap.

"I can't," she says worriedly.

"Why can't you?" I ask as calmly as I can.

"Because they've sort of already left, as I'm having the party tonight. And you have to come because it was supposed to be a surprise for your birthday next week." She replies quickly, making almost no sense.

"It's nice you did something for my birthday, but I'm not going." I say stubbornly.

"Please, I've arranged it all, I invited Brad, James and their groups and you know it will be good because my parents have their own event planning business," she try's to tempt me.

"No, I'm sorry, but no." I reply.

"You can get revenge on Sean!" She says excitedly. "Best birthday present ever."

"What you want me to just do what he did to me, but do it back to him?" I say angrily.

"No. No, I never meant that. I meant we could just humiliate him or something, it would be great, we could everyone to gang up on him." She says still excited, and almost starting to jump around.

"And how would we convince them?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

"We could tell them what he did to you!" She shouts out, "they'd all be automatically on our side."

"Who did you invite?" I ask, wanting to know who's going to find out about this.

"Well, from memory." She begins to think.

"How many did you invite?" I ask raising my voice while she thinks.

"Right, okay I invited around fifty people, you know the people in our group and a few other fit boys in our year, but people like Danielle, Elle and Vance." She tells me.

"Fine, we can tell them, what time do they get here?" I ask, trying to think of a plan in my head.

"Well, they get here at around five and the party starts at ten." She replies. "So we have five hours to sort everything, well actually three hours, because we need to get ready."

"Wait, what am I supposed to do about what I'm wearing?" I ask worriedly.

"I already have that sorted out, there's a makeup and wardrobe team coming to my house at eight, I was supposed to invite you round." She tells me.

"Okay, but how do we embarrass him?" I ask.

"Well, there's more the one thing we can do to him tonight." She says with a wicked grin plastered onto her face. "First off, Sean wanted to hook back up with you, because you know he is your boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend, but you and a Brad are a thing, so that will make him jealous and hurt. Hopefully. But we need something, something super embarrassing, hurtful and life ruining."

"I can't think of anything at the moment, but we have the whole day to think," I say and the bell cuts me off before I can continue to speak.

"Okay, well we have class now, but think as hard as you ever have in your life." She replies still grinning and walks off in the opposite direction to me, as I go to my first lesson of the day.

******************************

I make my to the school gates at the end of the day like Chloe told me to do, I look around for Brad or James, still no sign. I haven't seen either if them all day and I miss Brad terribly even though I was with him last night.

"There you are, okay I have an amazingly great plan, it's almost like the world wants us to do this!" She exclaims as she approaches me.

"Let's hear it." I say.

"Well, I was texting Elle earlier and she told me that for your birthday Sean has bought you a promise ring type thing and wants to get back together, because he's planning of moving here to be with you." She says and pauses for a second giving me a quick glance to see if she can continue and I nod. "Right, I know it sounds a little extreme about him moving here- but what I'm going to get him to do is right when your cake comes out that he announces out in front of everyone about how much he misses you and all that shit. Then BAM he pops the question shows you the ring and you say no, go on about how much of a monster he is and run off crying. Then everyone hates him."

"I don't cry much." I begin then realise something in her speech she just gave me. "He's moving here?" I ask filled with dread.

"Only if you say yes." She says. "This isn't a proposal, just a promise ring, seems a little too over the top."

"Okay, good. It's on," I reply.

"Great!" She exclaims. "Right, let's go and inform the others." She says and grabs my arm taking me with her.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"To my house, don't worry I checked with your parents." She tells me. "And everyone's at my house already apart from all the boys that are friends with Sean and all of Sean's admirers, I sent them all to some vip bar shit that was expensive, but we can't let this secret get out." She tells me.

"How come your so prepared?" I ask.

"Well, we were all supposed to go to the bar, but now we're doing this humiliation thing and I've only had one class today so I've been messaging everyone all day." She explains.

"Okay." I say.

"By the way can you keep things with Brad a U." She says.

"I believe the sayings PG." I tell her laughing.

"I know, but I want you to keep it at the U rating." She says sternly.

"Okay." I say smirking now.
