Ryan's POV:

All four of us were leaning on the the ugly red lockers that adorned Hillsman before the start of lunch.

"Ry, how are we even going to pull this off?" Brendon asked, twiddling his thumbs.

"Nervous, Brenny Bear?" I teased.

"Uh.. No. I mean sorta, but I-" he stuttered.

"It's all good. I have it under control." I reassured him.

"Yeah, but how?" Dallon remarked.

"Patrick, though he is good at hiding it, has a short temper. We just have to make him angry. As simple as that! If he blows up, Claire will see him for the monster he is. That's when she'll break up with him."

"Not too bad, Ryan." Spencer complimented.

"Thanks, Spence!"

The lunch bell rang and we all stood up a bit straighter.

"Show time, boys."

Lets do this.

Brendon's POV:

While we were walking to our usual table, we discussed the plan.

Ryan called it the 'Four Step-One Day-Break Up Plan' or;

"FSODBUP, because it's shorter, guys." He said.

This boy, I swear.

We motioned Claire and Patrick to our table. Today, Patrick didn't complain. Good.

He just doesn't want Claire to find out he secretly hates us because we might foil his evil plans.

I mean, he's right, but still.

Step One: Dallon

"Hey Patrick!" Dallon said.

"Hey Dal!" Patrick gave one of his signature fake smiles.

Dallon's nickname sounded so wrong coming out of Patrick's mouth.

"Do you want to compare English notes?" Dallon asked.

I was already internally laughing.

A chuckle slipped out and Claire gave me a confused look.

"What? I can't laugh at the voices is my head, Claire?" I joked.

She just laughed and turned back to Patrick. When I did the same, I saw Patrick pulling out his English notebook. The plan was working.

Dallon grabbed it and pretended to look at it's tattered pages. He grabbed his chocolate milk carton and brought it halfway to his mouth before 'accidentally' pouring it all over the spiral.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry Patrick!" Dallon yelled.

Not bad acting Dal.

"Oh. It's alright! I'll just have to go to Claire's tonight to get her notes." He chuckled and winked at Claire.

Her cheeks we tinted with a light pink and she looked so cute- wait. Step One failed?

Are you kidding me?

Step Two: Ryan

"Hey Claire!" Ryan shouted from across the table.

"Hello Ryan." Claire gave him a bright smile.

She is so beautiful.

"I just wanted to tell you that you look lovely today." He said.

"Awe Ry, you're so sweet! Thank you!" Now she was really blushing.
