How To Be A Heartbreaker

1//This will be our inspiration

Chapter 1

It was the weekend after Valentines Day and I felt like a changed person. I stopped feeling sorry for myself and decided that I couldn't let the sadness control me, I'd have to control it.

After a few minutes of just laying there, I decided I didn't want to be late for school. I rolled out of my nice, warm bed and trudged to my bathroom. After I finished my morning routine, I changed into jeans and a chunky sweater. Then I slipped on my favorite combat boots. I skipped down the stairs and started making some quick pancakes.

Just as I got finished eating, my phone vibrated.

You ready to start the plan?

I read the text from Dahlia and quickly replied with a yes. She told me she'd pick me up soon, and I slipped my phone into my pocket.

I thought back to a few nights ago when my heart was torn out and stomped on. That'll never happen again. I won't let it, I promised myself.

That's when Lia and I created the plan. We decided that I would turn into a heartbreaker. I'm going to think like a teenage boy, except I'll be the one breaking their hearts this time. It's been too long that guys have been able to act carelessly with girls' hearts. We aren't toys that are made to be broken and then thrown away.

Im going to give them a taste of their own actions.

I'm still slightly confused on how I'll be able to do that, but I'm trusting my best friend to help me.

I heard Dahlia pull into my driveway, so I grabbed a jacket and scarf and made my way to Lia's car making sure that I locked up.

"Hey, chica!" She greeted me. "Let's get this party started," with that she put her iPhone into the dock and soon enough How To Be a Heartbreaker by Mariana and the Diamonds was blasting through the car's speakers. "This will be our inspiration throughout the plan," she told me in a no-nonsense type of tone.

We decided that today would be our first planning session. We'd pick our first target, look up 'battle' tactics, and practice. By tomorrow we'll be able to put the plan into action.

Once we got to school, we got out of the car and walked up the outside stairs into our high school. I passed by Jason and he gave me a cocky smirk. Instead of averting my gaze I looked him right in the eyes and smirked back. He looked surprised for a minute but quickly regained his composure.

Dahlia and I parted ways to go to our lockers. Before I knew it I was sitting in my first period class. I had no idea what any of the math on the board meant, it might as well have been in a different language.

I was still copying down notes when my teacher got the class's attention.

"For the next month, you will be working on a Pre-Calc project with a partner," he said while everyone started to look at their friends. "Don't get too excited, I picked your partners for you," he quickly said after he noticed everyone's excited faces.

I zoned out as my teacher explained the project and looked around. Jason was sitting on the other side of the room, and he was the only person I really knew in this class. I crossed my fingers under my desk hoping that I wouldn't get partnered with him. Then I heard Mr. Koch's voice start to announce the partners.

I tried to wait patiently, but my anxiety was slowly starting to build up.

"Jason..." He said, dragging the name out. I swear my teachers loved to secretly torture me. "Kimberly."

I let out the small breath I didn't even realize I was holding. But if I'm not with Jason, who am I with? I wondered. I listened closely as my teacher started to say the last pair.

"Finally, Sheyla and Roman," I felt my face contort into confusion. I've never heard of a guy named Roman in this class. Everyone started to pair up with their partners when the dark-haired beauty from the mall started walking towards my desk.

He's my partner?
