Mia Rain: Bayside High

Operation; Matchmaker

I'm actually thankful school's back. Mom took Jr. and Nami home. The gang and I recovered from last night. Zack's even more relieved we got school today. I did my morning routine and took a shower. I got dressed and pulled out a ticket. The ticket to the Purple Moon festival. Lisa's parents scored tickets for everyone since she eased her Algebra test. I smiled and put it back inside my nightstand. I hoped to have a chance to perform there. It could open more opportunities and doors for me. My stuff were in my backpack. I wrapped it around my shoulder. I made a beeline downstairs. Morgan was eating pancakes. Mom passed me my plate. I smiled and began eating. Dad kissed my forehead, grabbing his coffee cup. "Anyone excited for the summer? Any plans?" Dad asked. I chuckled. "Lisa's parents scored tickets for two vacations we'll go on. Walt Disney World in Florida and Purple Moon Festival!" I said. Mom raised an eyebrow. "Purple moon festival? Wouldn't they be against it?" She asked. I nodded in disagreement. "She eased her Algebra test so we earned it." I said. They both smiled and chuckled. Morgan smiled. "I wanna go to Disney World!" She said. Dad smirked. "Only if Mia brings you with her." He said. I sighed. "I'm not sure. I don't think they have another ticket." I told him. She rolled her eyes and slid her plastic bag of two brownies in her lunchbox. I patted her shoulder. Dad smiled. "Pretty great Randi's going to school with you again." He said. I nodded in agreement. "I'm supposed to be picking him up though." I said. Mom checked her wristwatch. "Exactly, duty calls." She said. She kissed dad and our foreheads. I grabbed my backpack and keys. I left the house and got in my car. I drove off to Randi's house. He smiled and got in the second front seat. I laughed. "Like old times." I said. He smirked. "Only we're in the front seat." He joked. We laughed as I drove on the way to school.

We walked in and opened our lockers. His was apparently next to Screech's. I smiled and pulled out my English notebook with a folder. Kelly, Jessie and Lisa opened their lockers and talked. They saw me and smiled. Randi waved at Kelly. She waved back shyly. I smirked, making my way to them. Lisa smiled. "Have you seen the way she looked at Randi?" She asked. I laughed. "I know! Just admit you like him, Kel." I said. She giggled. "I don't know guys. He's really sweet and all but we're only friends." She said. Jessie scoffed. "Kelly, that's what everyone says." She said. I nodded in agreement. Her and Randi would be total endgame. They bond well together and always blush at each other. Lisa chuckled. "Why don't you ask him out?" She asked. Before I could speak, the guys joined our conversation. Zack smiled at me. I returned the gesture. Slater smiled. "Aye, what you ladies talking about?" He asked. I smirked. "Kelly and Randi." I told him. Kelly madly blushed. "No we're not. Just the fact he's new at Bayside." She lied. Screech looked back at Randi then her. "Seems to me that you're blushing at each other." He said. "It doesn't hurt to go on one date, Kel. See where it goes from here." I said. Randi smiled directly at her. She sighed sadly. "I'm sorry guys." She said. She closed her locker and walked away. What was that about? Jessie sighed. "I feel bad." She said. Slater scoffed. "What's the problem? Randi's a cool guy." He said. "Yeah, Kelly would be lucky." Zack agreed. My hand intertwined with his. "It's clear Jeff hurt her so bad, she's scared to date again." I said. Lisa looked at me. "Mia, he also hurt you too." She added. I nodded in understanding. "Which is why we gotta plan to get her and Randi together." I said. Zack smiled. "Might not be a problem." He said. They chatted in agreement. "What's the plan?" Screech asked. My brain clicked. "We can arrange dinner reservations for them. I can arrange for Randi and you'll do Kelly to make them think we're having dinner. Tell them to wear a tux and dress and the only difference is that it's for their date." I explained. "How we'll know they'll fall for it?" Lisa asked. I smirked. "A little spying won't hurt." I said. They smiled, liking the idea. "I'll call Max to have the place cleared out for them." Zack added. I nodded. The bell rang. We went to English period.

English class was finished and everybody walked to their lockers. I opened mine's and pulled out my math book. Kelly still waved shyly at Randi. He returned the gesture. This idea will be too easy. Me and the gang hid on the staircase. Kelly grabbed her notebooks and walked away. Randi kept his eyes on her till she was gone. Zack's on the phone with Max. I sighed and waited impatiently. He hanged up and smiled. "He'll arrange their lovely date." He said. We quietly cheered and high five. I hugged him. He hugged back. "Now, next phase." Jessie said. Our eyes diverted to her. "Which is?" Slater asked. I chuckled. "Invite them, duh." I said. He scoffed. "I knew that." He said. Me and Jessie rolled our eyes. Lisa grabbed her phone to text Kelly.
