The Beauty and the Nerd (Normila AU)

18.

Normani's POV
"Are you sure about this?" Ally asked Zayn as we all stood outside Masi's house the next night. Zayn, who was attaching a microphone to the inside of my jacket, looked over at Ally.

"I'm positive," Zayn said, nodding his head,"I thought this plan out all day. It's foolproof."

"I just don't want Normani getting hurt," Ally said, still sounding unsure.

"Don't worry, Smallz. Zayn knows what he's doing, besides Lauren's the one who really came up with the plan. Zayn just made the gadgets," Dinah said.

"I had some ideas too, DJ!" Zayn argued.

"But I did most of the thinking, right, babe?" Lauren said, smirking at her boyfriend. Zayn rolled his eyes but smiled and nodded as he pulled out a pair of nerd glasses from his jacket pocket.

"Right," he said as he went back to put the glasses on my face.

"Whipped!" Zendaya and Dinah whisper shouted in unison. Zayn rolled his eyes.

"Shut up," he mumbled.

"So what's the plan again?" Zendaya asked, speaking from her place against the hood of the van.

"Normani knocks on the door and of course, Masi will be the one to answer since his parents are out of town. Normani will seduce Masi and try to get him to confess to Arin framing Camila," Lauren began explaining.

"When he confesses it will all be recorded due to the mic," Zayn said tapping the mic on the inside of my jacket,"It will go straight through to my computer and we'll give it right to the cops after."

"As soon as he confesses you can book it out of there," Dinah said,"I'll be waiting right outside for you. So if he tries anything I'll kick his ugly ass before he can manage to lift one finger," Dinah spoke as if that wasn't her cousin she was threatening.

"Okay," I sighed, nodding my head.

"Are you ready?" Zayn asked, shutting my jacket hiding the mic.

"Wait," Lauren said, pushing Zayn out of the way and stepping in front of me. She places an earpiece in my ear and fixes my hair so that it covers the piece.

"We'll be talking to you through this. Guiding you through everything,"If the mic in your jacket doesn't work for some odd reason this one does, so if a problem occurs just speak into his and we'll hear you. But other than that just listen to me, okay?" Lauren said. I nodded my head.

"Good," Lauren said, she fixed my jacket and my hair,"Just be your hot confident self and think about Camila. We're doing this for her. I promise you, we'll get your girlfriend out. We just gotta do this. And then she'll be back."

"Yeah! And you guys can go back to making out in the oddest places," Dinah said, smirking. I laughed at this and nodded my head silently.

"Okay, I can do this," I said, smiling softly.

"You got this, Mani," Zendaya said from her place on the hood of the van.

"Please be safe, Normani," Ally said.

"If anything goes wrong I'm right outside," Dinah said.

"It's time," Zayn said from inside the jeep,"Everyone but Normani and Dinah get in the van."

Lauren, Ally, Zendaya, and Zayn climbed into the van. Dinah and I walked across the street and up to her cousin's door. Dinah hid in the bushes. I looked over at her and she nodded her head, urging me on.

I took a deep and knocked on the door. I waited for a second, biting my lower lip nervously. Then the door opened and there appeared Masi.

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Normani?" he said and I felt myself try to resist the urge to roll my eyes and be like 'no Frankenstein.' Like who the hell else would I be? There's only one Normani Kordei in the world. Like damn, slow ass mother fucker.

"Hey, Masi," I said instead, forcing myself to smile flirtatiously.

"Hey, Normani, what are you doing here?" Masi asked me.

"Tell him you wanted to just stop by. Get him to invite you in,"  Lauren said into my ear.

"Just wanted to stop by and say hi," I said, biting my lower lip as I looked up at Masi through my lashes,"Can I come in?"

"Y-Yeah sure," Masi immediately stepped aside. I smiled at him and walked into his house, I turned to watch him close the door behind me and then lock it.

I gulped, but took a deep breath I needed to maintain my cover. Masi slowly turned around and smirked at me, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You must really think I'm stupid, huh, Normani?" He asked me.

I felt myself stiffen at his tone. He took a step closer to me.

"Normani! Normani! Can you hear me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said, biting my lower lip nervously as I took a step back.

"Yeah?" Masi asked me,"Is that why you have a mic on?"

I felt someone's arm wrap around my body and pull me against them, they reached into my jacket and yanked the mic off of me.

"Good job, Masi," said an all too familiar voice.

My eyes went wide as I saw Arin walking into the hall, he walked with a limp and he looked really beat up. My eyes went wide at the sight of him.

"Nice try, Normani," said Arin, as he smirked at me,"But I know all you and your little friends tricks."

"Normani! Normani! Come in!" Lauren shouted into my earpiece.

Arin limped toward me, reached forward, and grabbed the earpiece from my ear, yanking it out.

He looked at it then dropped it onto the floor, stomping on it.

"Now, time for us to have some fun," Arin smirked. My eyes went wide and I let out a scream.

"HELP ME!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
