Chapter 3: Step 1

Step 1: Get his attention

Me and Emma woke up extra early to get me ready for step 1. Get his attention.

We chose my outfit the night before, but my make up and hair was what had us waking up early.

School starts at 8:30 so we both woke up at 7 when we would usually wake up at 8.

Emma was now doing my hair while I was trying to not fall asleep. If waking up early is gonna be a daily routine for the revenge plan I'm not sure if I'm in. I am the worst morning person ever.

"Sky are you seriously falling asleep while I'm here being your personal hairdresser doing your hair? Hey if I burn your hair you wouldn't even know cause you'd be sleeping." Emma ranted.

I chuckled. What Emma said about burning my hair reminded me about a video I watched. The poor girl burned her hair off and the face she made was hilarious. I smiled to myself.

"Skylar Jones are you even listening to me?" Emma shook her head.

"Yes I am mom." I giggled.

She sighed. "Okay this should do it." she smiled admiring her work.

She placed the long, soft, dirty blonde curls over my shoulder.

I pulled her in for a hug. "Thanks Emma I don't know what I would do without you."

She laughed and placed her arms over my shoulder.

"Trust me, I don't know what you would do too."

After eating a big breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon, cooked by me, we were on our way to school.

My hands started to get sweaty and for some reason I was getting really nervous. I bounced my leg up and down nervously. If the car hadn't been running it would have been bouncing up and down. Emma was now pulling into a parking space.

"Sky."

"Yeah?" I said still bouncing my leg up and down.

"Sky stop."

"Emma I have a bad feeling about this." I replied.

"SKYLAR SNAP OUT OF IT!" She shouted.

I looked at her, surprised at her outburst.

"Sky, you have nothing to worry about. You look gorgeous and I can already imagine all the jaws that will be dropping when you walk into the hallway. Not like jaws didn't drop already before this but still. So get your butt out there. Getting his attention won't be that hard to do. Just wink at him and he'll be all over you. Just be yourself. Don't be pretend to be anyone else. Playing hard to get won't hurt though." she smiled.

"Thanks Emma. I needed that, but what if this doesn't work out?" I asked worriedly.

"It will either work out or it won't. Let's face it, your plans never work out cause someone always ends up with broken bones-" She paused and pointed at herself.

I chuckled. She obviously still hasn't forgotten the time when we were in second grade and I made a plan to steal some cookies from my cookie jar that was placed on top of the fridge. I made her climb on top of me and just as she was trying to grab the cookie jar my mom walked in, making me jump. Emma fell off of me and broke her wrist and twisted her ankle. She cried all the way to the hospital and she snapped at me for eating the cookies while she was in surgery. She didn't speak to me for weeks til I gave her a bag of gummy bears.

"-But let's just forget about that. It's not like I'm mad about it or anything. Pshh me mad? No. As I was saying, your plans don't always go well but I have a good feeling about this one." She smirked.

Well here goes nothing.

As we pushed the doors open, heads turned our way. Jaws dropped and jealous glares were sent in our direction.

A few jocks whistled at us making me slightly nervous. Be confident Skylar. I smirked their way and winked.

"You're doing good so far." Emma whispered lowly so only I could hear her.

I stopped when I was in front of my locker. Emma's locker was right next to mine. She had threatened the freshman who was originally the owner of the locker and the poor freshman immediately grabbed all of her books and exchanged lockers with Emma.

Yes my sweet, innocent bestie did that. I laughed so hard when she told me about it that day.

I scanned the hallways for Josh. My eyes stopped when they hit the hottie that just walked into the hallways. He looked like he was shining and a girl actually slid down her locker sighing at his looks. And then it hit me, that was Josh Conners. Why did he have to be so good looking.

His eyes made contact with mine. He had obviously seen me checking him out. His eyes scanned up and down my body. Perv. I looked at him disgustedly. He winked and walked into class.

What just happened? I grabbed my books and walked into class. Yeah we had 3 of the same classes today.

I made my way to my usual seat at the front row of class. Suddenly, someone sat next to me.

"Hey." Josh winked.

Okay, I definitely got his attention already.

Phase 1 of the revenge plan: Accomplished.

I turned to face him and gave him a flirtatious smile, "Hi."
