Dear Crush,

13. The plan

Day by day has come and Carol still can't forgive Ashley.
"She's changing." That's what she said to Karen.
"How about she do it on purpose?" Karen ask Carol.
"Which one? Date Jack or betray us? Tell me which one she did on purpose? She also knew both of them are driving me nuts. I can't believe her anymore." Carol said. She was pissed off.
"Hey, just wait and see. Every drama leads to good or bad ending let's just follow the flow of this drama." Karen said.
"What if the ending was bad?" Carol ask Karen.
"Just be patient." Karen said. She also pissed off with Ashley now but she need to make Carol happy at the same time.
They both finished their drinks and went back home.

Scott is at Ashley's house because Mrs. Taylor invited him for lunch. After Mrs Taylor leave them, Scott start the convo.
"Aren't you sorry?" Scott ask Ashley.
"Of what?" Ashley ask him back.
"Betraying you friends?" Scott said and cut the beef and stuff them into his mouth.
"I'm not. They're the one who betrayed me." Ashley reply with an annoyed face.
"It's up to you then, I'm leaving." He said and stand up.
"Already?" Ashley ask.
He nods and walk slowly to the door with his sticks.
Ashley waves at him but he just silent and ignore Ashley.

"Wanna make a deal?" Scott text Carol.
"Urgh please, just be friends with Ashley I'm not her friend anymore."
"Me too."
"What? She likes you"
"Yeah, i know but she being so mean lately"
"K"
"Only k? You wanna make a deal or not?"
"Huh, what deal?"
"I want Ashley to be mine and you want Jack."
"Wait how do you know that."
"Urgh just shut up and read my text"
"Okok"
"Let's make both of them fells apart."
"How? Wait, but you like Ashley too?"
"Yeah, okay let's meet up after school tomorrow."
"Okay where?"
"At the cafeteria near my house."
"Duh, I don't know where your house at." Carol lie.
"Beside Ashley's lol."
"Oh"
"You know the cafeteria?"
"Yeah, but can I ask Karen to follow?"
"Sure."
"Nice, tomorrow after school okay?"

"Hey jack!" Ashley replies and take her textbook from locker.
"So... cafe? After school?" Jack ask.
"Sure pick me up and we go straight to the cafe after school." Ashley said and smile.

Ashley gasp and blushed.

After school Jack horn in front of the school. He's driving a sport car. He caught everyone's attention in front of the school so do Carol,Karen and Scott.

Ashley then smile and get into his car.
"Yeayyy you found my car." Jack cheer.
"Is this your new car?" Ashley ask.
"Nope."
"So why don't  you use this car when our first date?" Ashley ash him.
"At that time this car need to be serviced." Jack told her.
They then arrived at the cafe.

They sit at the same spot as their first date. As they chatting and laughing, Carol, Scott and Karen open the cafe's door. The seem don't see Ashley and Jack yet but Jack saw them.
"Hey what's they doing here." Jack whispered at Ashley.

"Why?" Jack ask her and look at them three.
"Nothing. Let's act sweet together." Ashley said.
"Um okay?..." Jack smile weird.
"Tell me something funny." Ashley whispered.
"Um. Why does the chicken cross the road?" He ask Ashley.
"To get to the other side. Duh. That's not funny." Ashley said and laugh hard.
"Knock knock." Jack said.
"Who's there?" Ashley replied smiling.
"The chicken!" Jack said it out loud and they both burst into laugh.

"Write your suggestion. Let's make a checklist." Karen's suggest.
"Good idea." Carol said.
