Play With Your Heart Strings (Re writting from Chapter 7)

Chapter 4

"Everyone, shut up and sit down, I have a smashing head ache so I just want you all to listen." Everyone shuts up and takes a seat, Ash and I moving back to our seats, leaving Courtney in hysterics. "Apparently we have a new person in our class so for their information I am Miss. Dare and I am your drama teacher, I was at a boring meeting thing on Friday so that's why I wasn't here." I nod, I have no idea why but I just did. "Now today we will be doing male and female stereo types. You will split up into groups of four, two boys and two girls. The boys will pretend to be girls and the other way around. By the end of the lesson you will have a skit ready to show the class, get ready now." Miss. Dare says taking a seat on her chair and letting the class do its thing.

I walk over to Mia, who has stood up and walked to the middle of the stage.

"Who do you want to be partners with?" I ask as I approach her.

"Us." Ash's voice says from behind me. He flings his arm around my shoulder and Rick does the same to Mia, Mia looks down, letting her copper hair fall over her face.

"This will be fun." I smile. pushing Ash's arm off my shoulders.

~*~*~

As the last performance about girls jumping around screaming for Taylor Laughtner finishes, it's my groups turn to go on. We get into our positions.

Get ready to be bored  out of your minds audience!

Rick and Ash take center stage and face each other.

"Ohmigod! Barbie I haven't seen you in ages!" Ash says, leaping into Rick 'Barbies' arms.

"Ohmigod Cindy, I luv your shoes!" Rick says, pointing down to Ash's ripped up converses.

"Why thank you!" Ash says, flashing a cheeky smile. "Have you seen Taylor Laughtners new movie New moon, no shirt Barbie!!" Ash says, pretending to drool.

"O.M.G!! I have to see it! Do you want to go sit down?" Rick says. "Yeah!" Ash says, enthusiastically running over to a chair but slipping over, he quickly stands up and walks over shaking his hips. Then Mia and I walk on. We pretend to crash into each other.

"Oh hey man." I say, fist punching Mia. "Hey." She says. "What have you been up to?" I ask.

"Ah yeah, just been doin'..." Mia hesitates to think of something. "Stuff." She finally says. "You?"

"Um, I met this really hot waitress."

"Oh yeah."

"Yeah, I totally hit that!"

"Oh yeah!" Mia says as we give each other a high five. I look over and see 'Barbie' and 'Cindy' sitting on the chairs laughing and giggling like maniacs.

"Hey look at the hotties over there!" Mia says pointing over to them.

"I want that one." I say, pointing to Ash.

"But I want her!" Mia argues.

"Oh yeah, wanna take this out side?!" I yell, swinging a punch at Mia purposely missing her. All of a sudden, we are fake fighting. Then the boys stand up and walk out the door.

"Oi man, they've left." I say, mid punch.

"Damn!" Mia says, letting go of the front of my shirt.

"Next time." I say walking away. "Yeah." Mia says, walking away to. The audience claps. We all take a seat, and just as we do the bell rings. The class scatters out of the room like ants.

"Good job." Mia says. I give her a high-five.

"Seeya Mrs. Player!" Ash says, wandering out the door.

"Mrs.player?" Mia asks, as we walk out.

"Yeah, I play people." I admittedly say. Mia frowns.

"How many guys have you played?" She asks. I look up at the sky in thought. "30." I reply, opening my locker door. Mia's eyes widen.

"How do you do it? And don't people call you a slut?"

"I do it so people don't find out. Pick the right people. I have a 4 step rule." I smile. "What is it?"

"Flirt, tease, date, dump. Do you want me to teach you?" Mia nods her head.

"Alright, the first step is flirt. The things you need to focus on is your walk, laugh, and your sticky-eye-wink around your target." Mia looks confused. We stop next to the gym.

"Part one walk. The way you're walking right now, how do I put this gently? You look like you're walking around with a bag of bricks. You need to stand up straight and shake your hips a little." I say, demonstrating. "You try." I say, walking back to her. She walks. "Alright, you don't have to look like my brother drunk." Second time she does it perfectly.

"Next is your laugh. Show some teeth with your mouth open. Show me." She does and is also perfect at it. "God job. Now last but not least, definitely not least is sticky-eye-wink. Sounds really stupid but is like the transparent part to your web. So you look at him while walking. And just as you have to pull away, you wink at him, easy. Now you put this all together. You walk, laugh and sticky-eye-wink." Mia nods. Part two?" She asks.

"part two is tease. Tease him by being all over one of his best mates. Be all over them, make them touch your ass, what ever works for you. Then you push that guy away, walk away. But with your body language, get him over to you. Then do what ever. Kiss him all that crap then walk away. He'll chase after you and be like 'What the hell and that's when you say. 'I thought you were a five second guy.' And then he will ask you out on a Date." I beam. "Then what?"

"Date him for 5 days at the most if you really like him stay with him. 3 days at the least." Mia nods. "Do you wanna go try this out?" "Yeah!" "Let's go then."

 ~*~*~

As we approach the guy that Mia wanted to play Mia gives me some shocking news.

"I can't fake laugh." She says, suddenly remembering. "I will say a word that makes every shiny laugh." "Shiny?" "Beginner. Now here it goes." I say the word and as presumed she cracks up laughing. But remember to do her player laugh. When she finishes flirting I begin to walk away.

"I'll meet you at the library."

"What, you're gonna leave me?" She asks shocked. "You have to do this on your own kiddo. Meet you there!" Mia swallows hard and begins to tease. I smile.

Go Mia!!

~*~*~

"I did it!" Mia screams running toward me but it didn't end well sice she's wearing heels. She face plants but laughs. I help her laughing ass off the ground.

"Well done." I say as she brushes off the dust from her clothes. Mia still laughs.

"Mia, I'm going to a function on the week-end, do you want to come?" Mia stops laughing, a bit.

"Sure!" She replies.

"Alright, come to mine on Friday after school and we can get ready together." Just as I say it the bell rings.

"Seeya!"

~*~*~

I pull on my motor bike helmet and start up my bike, but am soon aproached by Courtney.

What the hell does she want?

"You bitch!" I pull off my helmet and she pimp slaps me. I look at her and smile. I stand up and walk up to her. She begins to look intimidated.

"Do you wanna do that again?"

"Sorry, I thought you were someone else." She says, running away. I smile.

Thought so.

This is going to be a happy ride home. I pull out of the car park and begin to drive home. Half way there, Ash pulls up next to me, driving at my pace.

"Hey babe!" He yells over the motor of the bike.

"What do you want?" I yell back. "I just saw you driving and wanted to say 'hi', so. Hi!"

"Bye." I say, speeding away.
