Natasha P.O.V.

The morning classes flew by, then lunch came. I was the first to get to the table, so I went to get food. I stood in the chicken line, when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see Gabriel. "Hey Gabriel," I said, receiving glares from most girls in the line. I ignored them. "Hey Nat. I was wondering, if I could sit with you at lunch. I don't really know anyone else," He said. "Sure," I replied. We both got the food and walked back to my table, where everyone was. "Hey you guys, this is Gabriel. He's new here, so he's going to sit with us," I announced, and glanced at the other people. Abi was staring at us, Jake was eating, and Ben looked.... Jealous? No, no, it couldn't be like that. Probably a wrong expression. I sat down and patted the seat besides me, "Come on Gabriel, sit down." He sat down, and I introduced everyone to him. Him, Ben and Jake immediatly got into a conversation about football tryouts, and Abi and I were eating when Abi said, "Nat, how did you get Babe Gabe to sit with us?" "Babe Gabe?" I asked. "He's amazingly hot if you haven't noticed," Abi said. "Oh trust me, I've noticed. Who hasn't?? And for your question, he asked me to sit with us. And I said ya," I said, remembering it. "You like him, don't you??" Abi asked excitedly. "umm....kinda," I admitted. I like him, and I'm more than sure of that, but there is no way in hell I'm goin to admit that. "Oh my freaking god, Natasha Renee Goldwin likes someone!" Abi almost screamed, until I covered her mouth. I looked around, to see if anyone heard that. Thankfully, no one heard what she said. If someone did, well who knows what that would mean.

Ben P.O.V

"Oh my freaking god, Natasha Renee Goldwin likes someone!" I heard Abi squeal, her voice muffled at the end. What?? Was she fucking serious?? I glanced at Natasha's facial expression. One glance and I knew my answer. She was dead serious. But who was the lucky guy.....? I thought of who they were talking about, and suddenly got the answer. Gabriel. I narrowed my eyes at him, thankfully he didn't notice my glare. Jake and him were in a serious conversation about football. I mean, Gabriel is a nice guy and all, but how could Nat fall for him?? My mind was swirling with thoughts, but one thought stood out the most. I was going to have to either win Nat over, or make Gabriel look bad. I glanced over at Gabriel, knowing their had to be something wrong, but couldn't come up with a thing. Which left me option. Find a way to make Nat fall for me. I knew that was going to be hard, but I could really care less. I loved Nat, and I was going to get her. But I was going to need some help. After school, I was going to Jake's to play football. I'll ask him after school for help. Hopefully, he'll help.

The rest of the classes flew by. Not that I paid much attention, my thoughts were all about how to win Nat. So far, I had come up with no ideas. Hopefully Jake was smarter than me. As the final bell rang, I practically ran to my locker, to grab my homework. When I closed my locker, I saw the person I wanted to see least. Jessy. She was in a shirt that was too little to be considered a shirt, and a skirt where... Well I could see her underwear. It was revolting. I don't get why I went out with such a slut in the first place. "Hey Ben," she said, with her hand on my arm. I removed her hand and said," Umm what are you doing here?" She sighed, "Ben, I know I cheated and all, but I wanna get back together with you." "What the fuck?? Why on earth would I want to get back with such a cheating whore??" I screamed. "Ben, come on! I wasn't that bad!" She said. "Umm look, I got to go. Jessy, we're over and I'm planning on keeping it that way." I said, walking down the hallway. "Ben, we're only going to be over when I say we'r over. You're going to come back, begging me to get back with you. All the guys do," Jessy remarked, before walking down the hallway. Wow, what a bitch, I thought as I walked towards my car. I got in and drove to Jakes, while thinking about Jessy. What was wrong with her?? And why did she think I was going to go out with her again?? These two questions remained unanswered the entire ride to Jakes. Soon, I reached his house, and parked the car. I walked up the steps that led to his small yellow house. On the front porch, was an excessive amount of flowers and plants. Jake's mom and little sister, Kakeigh, love gardening, so the house always has plants of some sort around. I rang the doorbell, hearing Cocoa and Kayla, their two puppies, bark like crazy. Jake opened the door and let me in. We both went to the living room, and I said hi to his mom and Kaleigh. Well, I thought, it's now or never. Time to ask him about Nat.

"Hey Jake, Can I ask you something?" I asked nervously. "Ya man, anything," He said calmly. "Umm.. I heard Nat talking... About who she likes.." I started. "Who??" Jake asked, worriedly. I took a deep breath and said the hardest thing I have ever had to say, "Natasha likes.... Gabriel." "Aww man, I'm sorry. I mean, I know you like her and all..." He started but I cut him off,"Man, I plan on getting her. No matter what it takes. But I need your help to think of a plan." "Oh... That's easy. Make her jealous. Go out with someone she knows out with a lot, after telling them the plan, and that should be enough," He said calmly. Make her jealous?... That won't be easy, but for Nat, it would work. "Ok that sounds good. But who??" I asked. "Umm... No clue," He said. Suddenly, a brilliant thought popped in my head. "Abi!" I almost yelled," Think about it, they are best friends, but Abi is our best friend too. She would totally help me." "Ya call her up," He said, not entirely thrilled, but I didn't care. I pulled out my phone, and dialed up Abi's number. After a few rings, I heard Abi's preppy voice, "Hello." "Abi, Hey. Can you talk for a minute?" I asked. "Sure Ben, Whats up?" She said. "Nothing much, what about you?" I replied. "Oh nothing, just came back from Nat's," She said. "Oh. So you're alone??" I wondered out loud. "Ya," she answered , with caution. "Ok , Can I ask you for a big favor? By the way, from here on out don't tell anyone the rest of this conversation ok?," I asked her. "Sure anything and I won't tell," She replied, happily. "Ok. Well, the thing is I'm in love with Nat. And I heard her say she likes Gabriel at lunch. So, I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend to make her jealous. It would take a lot of work, because she doesn't get jealous easily, but please," I said, all in a rush. "You like her?? Are you serious?? Wow... Well I'm not sure. Sure I guess, as long as you don't hurt her, Ever. I'm dead serious," She said, with all the seriousness in the world. "Abi! I love you! Don't worry, I'll kill anyone, including myself, if they hurt a hair on her head," I said very happy. Abi had to go, so she said she'll call me this weekend, so we could figure out how to make this work. Yes, I was going to get Nat! But is it the right thing to do??

So, how do you like it? Think the plan will work?? Feedback! (: Thanx for reading.
