The Boy Who Stole My Dreams

Chapter 8: The Master Plan

"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe,

Shaking, Falling down to my knees,

And now that I'm without your kisses,

I'll be needing Stitches."

~ Shawn Mendes

So what was Jennifer's master plan you ask?

Oh, oh, oh where do I begin?

So, to start with, Aaron is supposed to attend Sophie Davis' party on the coming Friday, which Jennifer had seen Sarah RSVP for on Facebook. At Sophie Davis' house, Aaron is to walk straight to the fountain in her backyard, with a drink in his hand and stand with a Casanova pose. Both Jennifer and I are to be stationed at strategic places in the house, where we can spot the guests entering. As soon as we spot Sarah arrive, Jennifer will communicate with Aaron and I am supposed to channel Sarah towards the Backyard.

How I'm going to do that? I don't really know. I'm just depending on my instincts to help me when the time arrives.

Coming back to the plan, Aaron is supposed to flirt with a few girls when he spots her, making sure she is looking.

How is Aaron flirting with other girls going to help Aaron get Sarah, you ask? Yeah, I had the same question to which Jennifer had a surprisingly feasible explanation. According to her, it will make Aaron look like the popular bad boy, and when he approaches Sarah, it will make her feel special. Then, on talking to her, she will realize just how down-to-earth he is and she will make a good impression of him.

I know right? That's where Jennifer actually uses that part of her brain which normal people usually use in school. I should really ask her to consider taking up Human Psychology sometime.

The next step is for Aaron to accidentally bump into Sarah and 'notice' her. After 'noticing' her, he must start a conversation which will somehow lead to some talk about music. The tricky next bit is for Aaron to somehow get Sarah to tell him about her YouTube Channel. After this is when the fun begins.

Aaron must get her to sing a song and should softly beat box to it, slowly increasing the volume at the chorus. Basically his job at this point is to prove to her that they could make a good duo. And I was dying to watch him do it. Knowing Aaron's skill for beat boxing, which was pretty damn amazing, and also his tendency to choose flight when adrenalin hits him, this was a sight I couldn't miss.

This plan was pretty complicated which I had heard Aaron complain about several times already. It's trick was in sticking to the plan as much as possible. Aaron was so impatient to get her that he was ready to walk straight up to her and ask her out. Jennifer choked on her juice when she heard him say that and she flatly refused.

Jennifer's theory was that Sarah wasn't just some 'ordinary' girl who a guy could just 'hump and dump' to be exact. She had to be courted or wooed. Jennifer managed to convince an obstinate Aaron to follow her plan by mentioning that if he really liked her as much as he had told us, then he would be more than enthusiastic to do it. They argued on for a while like that and Jennifer's rather dominant character got the better of Aaron and the plan was to be put into action the coming Friday.

All this time spent on planning had taken its toll on me. I was working overtime to stay up to date with my Chapter uploading schedule. Research was going on pretty well. Skyler and I hung out whenever I wasn't with my friends or in class, provided, he wasn't busy with his friends. In fact, today he had called me over to join him and his friends for lunch. When I had declined saying that I couldn't ditch my friends, he insisted that I bring them over too.
