"You know...I thought I was just being a good friend by telling you. But no...I just wanted you for myself right? I didn't care about your feelings?"
Even though he didn't want to admit it, the truth hurt him more than he hurt her.
Elise Gardner is...
But I nod my head nonetheless. "Yeah. I'll try" I say.
He slaps my shoulder, "that's the spirit. How are you going to do it?"
I shrug my shoulders. I have no idea but whatever it is, it has to work.
*******
As I pace endlessly in my room thinking and contemplating, I find it absolutely useless as I can't seem to think of anything. I don't know why I thought it would work. I've seen people do it and they seem to get the most brilliant ideas. But then again, I've only seen people in movies do them.
There's so many things that could go wrong. All of which involve them ending with me being rejected. I should be fine right? We've been friends long enough for her to be my date to prom?
I pace faster and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. This feeling is the worse.
"Jayce says stop pacing. You're creating a draft" James says interrupts my thinking.
I scoff and roll my eyes. "Not the time" I growl.
"Damn...you need to relax" he starts, "you have plenty of time...."
"I don't! There could be other guys out there that are thinking of asking her too. I have to do it soon before she's taken" I interrupt.
He lets out a sigh and for once, has on a serious expression. "You'll come up with something, and when you do she's going to say yes".
I slow my pacing and slow my breathing trying to tell myself that I shouldn't worry too much. James heads out to where Jayce is leaving me alone with my thoughts once again.
Will she say yes?
I sigh as sit on the edge of my bed. I unlock my phone and see that the picture of me and her at the zoo was still open. As I continue to stare at the picture, something in my head clicks.
I know how I'm going to ask her.
*******
"So you're positive that this plan of yours is going to work?" Jayce questions.
I ponder on the many things that could either go right or wrong but in all honesty, I have no idea if this is going to work. I have so many things to prepare for before I could even get things set in motion. My plan is quite big and will require all the help I can get but it's not impossible. But it could still end up being that way if one thing goes wrong.
"Of course I'm not if this is going to work," I say answering his question, "but it's the best I got so it has to work".
"Or if all else fails, you could just go the old fashion way and just simply ask her" James intervenes.
He says this while scrolling through random things on phone so he doesn't see the incredulous look I send his way. Just once, I wish James could take things seriously for more than five minutes. I'm not saying that what he said isn't a good idea. Keeping it plain and simple could be the more sufficient way to go without having to go through all of this. I guess I'll result to that if this first plan doesn't, well, go to plan.
I hope this'll work.

A/N: Hey!
I'm so sorry for giving you guys false hope that I'll be finishing this book when I actually don't. I'm trying to get to it I promise because I really want to start my new book but I know if I do, I'll forget about this one. Good news though, there's only a one or two more chapters left (I still haven't decided). But thank you again for still keeping up with it!
