Characters belongs to Stephenie Meyer. This is just a fanmade story by me.
So.. New Story, yes. Yeppers. You got that right. Haha.
Ever seen 10 Things I Hate About You? Well, that's one of my favorite movies EVER!! It totally made me fall in love with Heath Ledger..
R.I.P. Heath! Love you forever! Truly the bestest actor for eternity!
I was seriously shaking when I heard about his passing. I remember that I was on MSN, actually about to log off because I wasn't supposed to be on that late.. but I noticed my friend's PM, and I just asked her; IS IT TRUE?!?!?
I had a total breakdown because I had a MAJOR crush on him.. I still can't believe that he's gone.. But, as I love him that damn much, I'm happy that I went to see The Dark Knight on my birthday.. Totally worth it! I was afraid I was going to cry before I saw it, but I didn't though.. Barely recognized Heath as the Joker.. Ahmazing acting skillz he had! (Yoda talk - haha)
Anyways.. Enough sad stuff.. On with explaining this story.. So, yeah, as I was saying.. This story is sort of based on that movie. It's the same main plot; the dude asks another dude to take the girl's sister out so that he can date her.. Haha.
...NOW YOU ENJOY YOU SPECIAL FOLKS OF FORKS!!!
Chapter 1
Mike's POV
I found myself once again staring at the girl a few yards away from me. Her luscious, brown hair was swaying in the wind as she stood by her car, talking to her best friend, Lauren. They were the most popular girls at school and I was in love with her, the one everyone knew and wanted to be with.
Jessica.
Just thinking her name made me smile, and as I smiled I saw her turn around and she caught me staring. She waved at me, not as if she wanted me to come over, but as if just acknowledging me. A smile was on her full lips, and it made my heart skip a beat.
The worst part was that she was actually my friend. My very best friend.
"Hey, lover boy," Ben snapped his fingers in front of me, making me come back to the real world.
"What?" I said, unwillingly taking my eyes away from her and turning to look at Ben, my other friend. My best friend at school.
Jessica was in the "in"-crew whilst I was one of the nerds at the school. Well, more than what she was anyway. She'd gone from a nerd to the most popular person at Forks High. People treated her almost like a celebrity - it felt like that anyway. Not that she didn't deserve it though.
"Are you ever going to ask her out?" Ben asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Ask who out?"
"Jessica, of course," he rolled his eyes at me.
"What are you talking about?" I said, acting stupid. Of course I knew he meant Jessica, my angel-like best friend.
"Duh, I'm not stupid," he said. "I can see just how very much you want her. You're almost drooling every time you look at her! And c'mon, man, she's your friend, too! You've got a bigger shot at getting her to go out with you than any other dude at this school.."
I considered his words for a moment, and realized he was actually right. But, the thing still was, why would she want me? I'm nothing special, and she is. Everyone at this damn school knew so, too. It's pointless to even try.. I would just make a complete fool out of myself.
Wasn't being a nerd, a geek, a brainy, enough already? Should I really add something more to that list? Like, 'the dork who asked Jessica Swan out and got rejected'?
No, thanks.
"C'mon, dude," Ben suddenly hit my arm. "It's time for English!"
Reluctantly I turned away from the beautiful sight and headed into the school with Ben Cheney, the head dork of Forks High.

Lunch arrived faster than to be expected, and I suddenly felt all excited
Maybe Jess wants to sit with me today..
I bought my food, two pizza slices, water and a pear, and went to sit down at our usual table. Maybe I felt like this because I saw Jessica in the lunch queue, and hoped she would come sit with me, or because I actually truly believed in Ben's words.
Perhaps I would have a better chance at winning her affection than all the other guys here after all..
The angel suddenly turned around and saw me. She smiled again, and my heart skipped yet another beat. I watched as she bought her food and then came straight towards me.
"Mind if I sit here today?" she asked softly, that same smile still on her full lips.
"Of course not," I said, my heart beginning to pick up its pace. She'd probably be able to hear it herself in no time at all, it was beating so fast.
"So, how's life?" she asked me as she picked up her fork and began to eat her salad.
I gulped, feeling it was hard to speak all of a sudden.
"Er, same old, same old." I said awkwardly. "And yours?"
She frowned slightly. "Not that interesting anymore. Really. My dad has this new rule, you see," Jess said, playing a little with the salad before she took another bite.
"And what's that?"
"Apparently he doesn't like the fact that I like guys.."
Oh, no. I could see where this was heading already. If I would ask her out then Charlie Swan, the chief of Police here in Forks, would most likely kill me.
I gulped.
"And he's also noticed that Isabella apparently hates guys.."
Isabella was her older sister. She's one year older than us, and from what I know she's got quite the temper sometimes. Guys drool over her whilst she just hates them. I could see why they thought she was "hot" and all, as she really was so, but my heart was already taken by someone else.
Jessica Swan.
"And so, now, I'm not allowed to date! Seriously.. what's wrong with them?!"
Okay, I'd officially be dead if I ever asked her out now.
Excellent.
"What are you going to do then?"
"Well, I can't do anything! Dad's a cop, you know, and so he'll know rightaway if I ever dated anyone! And the thing is.. you know how Isabella hates guys.. well, he's said that whenever she starts dating, I can start dating.. how ridculous isn't that?!" she cried exasperatedly, and sighed.
"Yeah.." I agreed glumly, feeling just utterly hopeless. Truth is that I was afraid of Chief Swan. Every time I've been over at her place, just hanging out, he's been eyeing me suspiciously, as if I was about to steal her virtue right in front of him or something. He can definitely be intimidating when he wants to be, which is to say; all the time.
"Hey, Jess..?"
Lauren Mallory's annoying voice was suddenly interrupting our conversation. She was standing a few feet away, looking at the both of us as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Are you abandoning your best friends for that?" she looked at me in pure disgust, and it made me feel even less worthy of her attention. She was right. Lauren, that is. I did not deserve Jessica's attention, or friendship for that matter.
Jessica looked from her to me and smiled at me apologetically before getting up and walking away with Lauren, over to her usual table with the popular crew.
I sighed.
Why had I let myself fill with hope at Ben's words in the first place?
Oh, right, because I'm an idiot.
Haha. Yes, that was Mike's POV. Well, I feel that everyone's always trashing him in their fics.. and I hate that.. but that might be because the guy I like, well, his name's Mike as well.. Haha.
I think he needs some justice. Mike's a good guy, really - just very misunderstood! =)
Anyways.. you likey?? I hope you did. So.. I want your opinions! Good or bad? Or do you just want me to update quickly again?? Please, let me know!! Teehee.
Please READ & REVIEW!! Thank you very much!! =)
