Me And You

Wingman

Let's not talk about me for a while. Let's talk about Jake, my best friend. He too has a love life which he never talks about. In all his time, he has dated only one girl. But that was long back in high school. Whenever we ask him if he has a crush at least, he would deny it. But one day, the unexpected happened. On our way back to our hostel, Jake confessed that he had a crush. That was a mind-blowing piece of info. Heck, What he said was beyond mind-blowing. He said that he had a crush on Sandy. Sandy was the class techie. She was that non-dating type. The only one she dated was Peter, the class flirt. But that was because she lost a bet. She never liked him. And she never will. Their breakup was the funniest in the class. Since then, Sandy had been single. Getting her to date someone is equivalent to her losing a competition, which is impossible. But it was my responsibility as his best friend to get him what he wants if he feels it's right. So I asked him twice to make sure he won't turn back.

"Bro, Are you sure?"

"Yeah,"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, man. What you say or do won't change it,"
"Okay. Fine,"

I made it my mission to get Sandy to date Jake. I won't force her. But if she gives him a chance, she won't regret it.

We came up with a plan on how to make it the perfect date. We came up with one masterplan which would beat any other plan out there. But there was still one problem. Jake didn't know what to talk about to her. I told him to talk about anything they both share a common interest in. But he was too shy. We planned about it for days, but the only problem in front of us was him. Finally, we were ready. The plan was ready. We waited. I trusted him and left it all to him.

After a week, I asked him how it went. You won't believe what he said. He was shy. HE WAS SHY. I spent more effort on this plan than anything. And he abandoned it because he was shy. I gave him a mouthful. He told me that it wasn't time yet. I took matters into my own hands now. Without Jake's knowledge, I went over to Sandy and told her about him. She seemed interested. But then again, she didn't wanna date again. I asked her to give Jake a chance, and she agreed. I told her to talk to him. She said no. I then explained my backup plan to her. My backup plan was a plan made in case Jake screwed something. She agreed to talk.

"Sandy, don't mention my name to Jake. He doesn't know that I'm talking to you about this,"

"Fine,"

One Week Later...

Mission Accomplished. Sandy underestimated Jake. She pictured him as Peter. That's where she was wrong. Not all are what you expect them to be. It's nice to see them be happy.
