After consulting with Jackie, Chad quickly sprung into action with his plan. He headed to his next class, which he happened to have with Kyle, and sat down next to him. When the class got quiet for a minute as the teacher wrote on the board, Chad spoke.

"Dude...you're not gonna believe what just happened to me!" he whispered, letting a stunned look spread across his face to play it up.

"Well tell me then!" Kyle was engaged immediately, exactly how Chad had hoped.

"I uh...I ran into your...your Crystal in the hallway just now." Chad stuttered over his words on purpose to make his statement more believable.

"Okay...and? What's so unbelievable about that?" Kyle asked impatiently.

"You didn't let me finish! She uh...I don't know how to tell you this man. But she was being really flirty with me," Chad lied through his teeth and Kyle's eyes blew wide.

"What!? Are you sure Chad? What did she say?" Chad tried not to let the smile that he felt creeping up spread onto his lips and searched his mind for something to say. He hadn't had time to think this far into the plan.

"She said she liked my haircut!" Kyle raised an eyebrow as if waiting for Chad to finish. Clearly this wasn't enough for him.

"And then I uh...I thanked her of course. And then she...she said that I 'look good with any haircut'. And I didn't really know what to say, but then she asked to touch it!" Chad's voice had gotten louder as he spoke and a few of their surrounding classmates "shushed" him. Kyle's look of bewilderment morphed into one of anger and his mouth opened for a second as if he wanted to say something before closing again tightly. He turned his head to face the board again and squinted his eyes.

"Are you gonna do something man? Aren't you gonna say something to her?" Chad tried to encourage his friend. Kyle stayed silent for a second, considering his options.

"I don't know what to say, but I do know that there's no way I can sing with her for the callback."

"Well that's great dude, now you don't have to miss the big game! Dicks before chicks anyways!" Chad exclaimed, being shushed by the class once again.

"Yeah, i guess. Whatever," although Chad knew he was doing the right thing, the morbid look on Kyle's face made him feel a little bit of guilt. Not enough to change his mind about the plan though.

Meanwhile, Jackie took their plan in an entirely different direction, because the more she thought about it the more she realized there was a better way. She waited for Crystal after school, like she did every day, leaning against her car so that she could drive the brunette home.

Crystal took a little longer than usual, because she might've bumped into a certain blonde on the way out, which Jackie didn't need to know, but was soon walking towards the car.

"You look awfully happy, you have a good afternoon?" Jackie asked, noticing the way Crystal's face was lit up.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Crystal smiled at the pavement of the parking lot, the blush that spread on her cheeks not going unnoticed by Jackie. She just got into the drivers seat of her silver Honda, signaling for Crystal to get in the car as well, and pulled out of the spot. As soon as they were out of the parking lot and on the main road, Crystal turned on the radio and cranked the volume up. Jackie quickly turned it back down so she could speak.
