Chapter 1

Arthur Pendragon aka MIDAZ...

Arthur Pendragon aka Midaz, the most popular, the most highly praised and skillful sport-jock slash model student ever.

Arthur stood out a mile with his stunningly handsome features, blonde golden hair, brilliant blue eyes and masculine athletic physique.

There was never a person that exuded more confidence and charm than Arthur Pendragon. In every sense of the word, you could have practically bottled the stuff and sold the amount of confidence and charm he exuded, not to mention an even giant size ego to match.

Anything and everything he set his mind or hand to, you just knew he was going to be good at. Known by all as Arthur but to his close friends "Midaz" Because everything he did and said was considered gold! Fiercely popular, Arthur was indeed a highly thought of student on campus and of course was never more highly thought of then by that of the female persuasion, which for Arthur, was never ever a problem. Yes, he indeed embodied all things superior for a young man of his status and more.

Rich, handsome, articulate, intelligent, fiercely independent, although he knew he could have any female he wanted at the drop of a hat, he was content with just being on his own. Yes Arthur didn't want to tie himself down to anyone or anybody. He enjoyed his independence and that's how he'd intended to stay, which of cause was so typically Midaz, young, free, and totally Single."

Arthur now stood with his mates Gwaine, Tristan, Galahad and Leon. Leon couldn't help but roll his eyes at their mates, Gwaine and Tristan as they stood egging Arthur on. They seemed to be relentless in their efforts to get some sort of a response from Arthur as both lads continued bantering…

Okay then, let's see you put your money where your mouth is then Midaz?

Tristan was now repeating what Gwaine had said, which was never surprising. Arthur often called Tristan Gwaine's puppet because everything Gwaine did or said you could be sure Tristan would either copy or follow.

And just like clock work, Arthur now listened to Tristan say..

Yeah come on Midaz, Show us what you're made of...

Arthur stared a look of arrogance at all four of his friends as he then started to say...

Oh I sure as hell don't need to prove myself to any of you bloody idiots and even if I did I wouldn't, So if any of you under bloody achievers wanna damn ride home after rugby training tonight you'd better change the subject and watch what you say next"

Giving cheek, the Lads now stared on at their friend, while they stood laughing, as closed fist hands now covering their mouths as they chuckled and continued to tease their friend relentlessly.

Oooh he's chicken, they bantered...

With a furrowed brows' Arthur scoffed and snapped back ..."Whatever!"

Gwaine, staring a grin at Arthur, then piped up saying...

Come on Midaz, weren't you the one that said that you could have any chick at the drop of a hat?

Arthur then said...

Whatever, I don't ever remember saying that!

That's when Tristan said..

Aah yeh ya did," remember that time when we were at Wendy's and what's her name...aaahh…Vivian…yeh that's it, Vivian, sent you that chocolate maltshake and you turned round to us saying that you could have her just like "that" if you wanted, and then of cause you did."

Arthur now recoiled and shuddered at the painful memory. Yes he did remember now, it was one of the worse experiences he had ever encountered. Vivian was pretty to be sure but she had a brain the size of a 'pea' all she did was prattle on about herself! and once she started you couldn't shut her up!

She just kept on and on about herself and how great she looked in the latest this and that, just a whole lot of useless information that just wasn't any use to anyone. Arthur couldn't think of anything more excruciating than having to spend time with her again. He had likened the whole experience to having a tooth extracted, useless and painful".

Gwaine then piped up saying...

Okay Midaz, here's the plan. We all know we've got, Regional Championships end of the Season Bash; of cause much thanks to your generous Pops for hosting it this Year at his very stylish diggz.

All 4 lads laughing cheering unceremoniously...

But what would you say to making this event just a little bit more interesting? Like say a little wager?...

Arthur was now listening intently to his friends, laughing to himself thinking, as if he even needed their money, but Arthur being Arthur was never one to back down from a dare or bet, & of cause when he won he would so relish in the thought of being able to stick one to his dorky mates as he then heard Gwaine saying…

We Propose Midaz that you bring a date,' but not just any date buddy', this is a date with a difference; Your date my friend will be especially hand picked and chosen by US!"

With a continued frown" Arthur stared a smirk back at his mates' and laughed, as he spat back saying..."Whatever, bring it on"...

Gwaine too laughed as he then began to say...

Hold on, hold on buddy I haven't finished Yet", should you except this mission you will have a at least a week' or maybe 2 at the very least before the Ball to make the Target fall head over heals in love with You."

Arthur looked at his mates and said...

My God! you dorks are so predictable it's laughable; give me a break for goodness sakes, honestly is that the best you two idiots could come up with'...

Surely you all know, that I don't wanna have to take your guys money?, but if your just gonna give it away," then that really is up to You's"... Arthur now laughed out loud"

Arthur then heard Tristan quickly say…

Well we'll just have to wait and see won't we,' Now if you donot complete the mission Midaz" we will collect on our wager"

With nitted brows Arthur then quickly asked"...

So what's" the wager?...

Both lads grinned saying...

How does 200 quid sound?"

Arthur grinned a laugh saying…

Oh my God you dorks are"so going down," so what are the ground rules?"

Both lads quickly chided and laughed as they heard Midaz except their little wager and turned as Arthur repeated saying...

Remind me again why you idiots are my mates"

Arthur made a mental note to himself; Make some new friends.

Smirking a grin to himself as he thought, 'Hah, this will be a piece of cake, it'll be like taking candy from a baby." as now listened mates cheer bantered and yahooed, as arthur yet again put the question to the lads' saying...

Come on, come on, bloody ground rules,what are they?

The Young Lads still laughing then said…

That's it, you've gotta week or 2 to clinch the deal before the big bash and if you don't we will collect & you my dear friend will clean and muck out our footlocker's, boots, and rugby uniforms for the rest of the Season...

Arthur stared a smirk at his mates' and then said...

Okay, sounds fairly predictable for you dorks, as he then clapped and rubbed his hands together as he began to say…

Well then if you idiot's are quite finished, let me establish a few little ground rules of my own...

Firstly I don't need your money' but I'll agree to your little wager only because I wanna teach you moron's a lesson" Plus...

"IF I Win;

1. We do extra training for the coming regional's and National championship and your all at my beckon call for whatever, whenever I say!

2. I want to be allowed extra time if needed for your so-called "TARGET", Although nothing exceeding a month.

3. Jockstrap rule will apply, meaning each of you dorks will wear a jock strap round your heads during recess in full view of all the student body for a month and during rugby training" and...

4. You will both clean my footlocker, boots, uniform and the cloakrooms for the rest of season.

5. And lastly, it's a definite ex-ney on VIVIAN, that girl just gives me the heebee geebeez!

All four lads were now listening intently while Arthur laid down his game plan and quickly came to an agreement between themselves before giving their reply, Tristan then said

Okay Midaz, DONE!...sounds fair but we want to add the jockstrap rule to our game plan too.

Plus we also agree with the ex-ney Vivian thing, and besides, we already know she's in love with you anyway…and as for the running into overtime, well we'll have to play that one by ear. If you think you'll need extra time, you'll need to call one of us to advise but yes we're all in agreement that if you do need the extra time it can't exceed more than a month or you'll have to forfeit and we win."

All those in agreement say I. "Arthur and all the Lads' then chorused saying…"I."

Oh yeah Midaz, we'll let you know who your target will be within the next 24 hours so keep your mobile on."

And as Arthur walked away he could hear all four of his friends chanting after him.

The Mi, the Mi, the Mi...daz, touch"..touch"..touch"..touch"..touch"..with a trail of laughter at the end.

Arthur scoffed and shook his head at his friends as he quickly made his way to his next class.

Guinevere Leodegrance…

Gwen had been rushing to get to her next class to try make up some time because she knew she was already late and she didn't need any more stress or pressure on top what she was already under.

A very shy, petite, attractive young woman, she had long, dark, wavy hair that fell down to her waist. Apart from looking kinda eclectic in her dress sense, which seemed a mixture of 70's retro and modern with a mix of her nana's cardy and not forgetting the pier resistance, the beautifully wide black thick rimmed reading lenses. Gwen had totally disguise her natural features well. A side from the obviously disheveled outer shell, if you looked close enough you could tell that Gwen was quite naturally beautiful, very much an attractive young woman underneath it all, she had the most beautiful coffee mocha coloring skin tone, a beautiful round clear skin face with the brightest smile and the most beautiful large brown almond shaped eyes with long thick eyelashes.

Being one to never make a fuss of anything, Guinevere had always been a very shy and humble quiet person but when the moment called for it; she could more than confidently articulate herself brilliantly and showed a level of intelligence beyond her Years.

A fanatical book and library buff, Gwen's favorite things to do; was watch movies, eat lots of popcorn, read a thrilling mystery poetry or History novel, depending on her mood, and last but not least her most favorite thing to do to relax was to sing in the show and listen to the most fantastic singer, "In the whole world!"...

"CHAKA KHAN"...

Yes, Gwen was an absolutely fanatical Chaka Khan Fan" she totally idolized the woman" Gwen loved her voice and anything she sang. She had all Chaka Khan's records and CDs and spent far too much time singing her favorite Chaka tunes in the shower. She based her life on one of her favorite Chaka Khan songs...

"I'M EVERY WOMAN"

Apart from that the only other place she spent far too much time in was the LIBRARY,You guessed it, a real geek to the core, doing far too much reading and studying than one would deem normal. Gwen couldn't help it, she'd always tell her best friend she loved the library. It was always her safe haven and it made her feel like all the books on these shelves were her friends, & besides that, she absolutely loved the smell of the place.

Merlin Wyllt…

Merlin was now looking at his best friend saying,

ewoh! Girl I cannot believe you just said that!...My God' that is just so not right, to love the smell of this place...

OMG! You so need to get a life, and get your damn head out of them books and concentrate on what's more important, Like' actually getting a LIFE!

Merlin and Gwen had been friends like forever, since as far back as they could remember. Merlin was like one of the girls', but more than that he was Gwen's best friend. Merlin was always truthful with Gwen and whether she knew it or not he was about to be brutally truthful and honest with her, right about now...

Look Gwen, I am so totally into hanging out with you and all that; But I am so totally over spending my weekends with you in the bloody library, Look I am so sorry; I love you, you are my best friend in the whole world but if I have to spend another friggin weekend trapped in this God forsaken library with you, I am so going to punch someone!"

with furrowed brows Gwen stared grin at her friend, as she let Merlin continue barrating her about her current social Life or lack there of, as she now listened to to him saying...

Look things have just got to change girl", You are so going to get a life, even if I have to date you myself, God damn it!"

Well I can't help it Merlin, You know I don't do crowd situations and you've seen for yourself what I'm like.

I always turn into this bumbling babbling fool when I'm with them; or in that kind of situation.

Merlin looked at his friend and said, You know you can say it Gwen, People, they're called People Gwen"

Gwen frowned saying, Yes, well you know I'm just not good with crowds.

furrowning at his friend, Merlin then continued to say...

Oh my God', I am so sick to death of you using that same old excuse'.

Honestly excuses, excuses Gwen; it really is' getting so old..truly...

Gwen looked back at Merlin with pleading eyes as if to say...Please don't try to fix me up with anymore of your friends please".

With arched brows Merlin then said...

Now I know when you say crowd situations, what you really mean is…"men" The opposite of your gender Gwen, the male species.

Gwen laughed at Merlin and said,

Well I think' you remember what happened when you fixed me upon that date with, what's his name"...aah...

Merlin quickly said, "Michael Hammond"

Yeh that's it Michael, The poor guy couldn't get away from me quick enough!"

Merlin said, Well yeh, that's because the guy was a complete moron anyway, and I should never have fixed you up with him in the first place.

But Gwen, honestly I'm really starting to worry about you, please you really do need to get out of this library.

Gwen then looked at her friend saying...

Okay, okay Merlin. Look don't worry, I promise we'll do something different, something of your choosing and you can pick the day time and weekend whatever...'okay?

Merlin smiled and looked at his friend saying...

Great I'm so glad you said that because we've been invited to this huge end of the season bash slash function thingy, in a 2-3 weeks time.

Gwen rolled her eyes, can't we just go to the movies or something?...Like I said; You know I'm absolutely useless in those types of situations."

It was now Merlin's turn to roll his eyes at Gwen, as then continued saying...

It's an end of the Season winter spring Bash, and there're actually called parties and we are going whether you want to or not!

Gwen groaned, Alright, alright, already, God' you are so damn pushy' Mr Willyt my gosh...

Later that Day.

Gwen had been busy texting Merlin: IM L8T 4CLS,C U L8TA…as she was rushing down the stairs, reaching the bottom of the staircase. It had only felt like a split second, and she was certain there had only been a couple of stairs left to descend on the staircase.

Gwen now placed her foot on what she thought was the last step but no sooner had her foot left the step she had than realized her mistake in misjudging her footing. Now she was falling quite precariously to her ultimate shame, everything that Gwen had been holding in her hands, books, bag, pens, mobile and iPod went "flying". Waiting for the inevitable, eyes squeezed tightly shut, Gwen held her breath for the thud but then felt two strong arms catch her and hold her for what must have seemed like a good couple of minutes.

Still holding her breath, one by one, she slowly opened her eyes to peer up into the gaze of the person that had saved her as she quickly made to stand and steady herself. Two of the most gorgeous blue eyes staring down at her but she was soon brought back to reality by what the young gentleman said next, which instantly changed her mind about the person. Now frowning at her he clearly sounded more than a little annoyed and frazzled to say the least as he then said...

"You know you really ought to watch where you're going! "You know' you could have hurt yourself or worse you could have hurt me! What is wrong with you" are you blind as well as clumsy!"

Gwen now frowning, quickly straightened up and corrected her lenses, as she quickly scrambled to collect her things that were now sprawled and scattered all over the floor. She quickly shoved everything into her backpack while the blonde blue eyed fool, stood staring on at her.

Oh my God', What a complete ASS! He could've at least helped me collect my things, the stupid gaping idiot just stood staring at me, how damn rude'.

Merlin quickly rounded the corner to see his friend attempting to stand up from off the ground. He quickly walked up to Gwen and asked, Are you okay,what happened?"

Gwen sent an angry look at Arthur and walked away with Merlin as he helped Gwen put the rest of her things back into her bag.

Yeah I'm fine, just totally embarrassed, That idiot didn't even help me pick up my things, what a jerk! He just stood there staring, and I think he was checking out my butt too, the guy is a complete tosser!"

Merlin looked back at the blonde haired, blue eyed, tall drink of water and said "Hey,he's still staring at you!"

Gwen scoffed, so who cares, let's get outer here,I'm late for class.

Merlin nudged Gwen saying, "He's actually kind of a cute you know"

Gwen rolled her eyes, "You wouldn't say that if you had heard what he'd just said to me."

Merlin quickly said, "Well I don't know what you did, but you must have done something cause he's still standing there staring."

As Gwen turned to look back at the young lad, he had already started to make his way up the stairs.

Gwen huffed "Whatever"grabbing Merlin's arm she than said "Come on,I've got to get to class, I'm already late".

Arthur's Thoughts…

Arthur hadn't meant to sound so mean, he was just surprised and maybe a little frazzled as he stood there scolding this weird quirky girl. Plus he'd been too busy thinking in his mind about where he might have met this girl before or if in fact he had met her at all.

Her face seemed strangely familiar, but God she was a bit of a klutz and what the hell was she wearing! The girl dressed and looked like somebody's nan. For a girl who had fairly agreeable looks, she had no dress sense at all.

He watched Gwen straighten up and correct her lenses on her face, which looked kind of comical, as Arthur felt a slight chuckle tugging at the corner of his mouth but thought it best not to laugh, grin or smile, as the girl now looked like she was frowning at him.

As she quickly scramble to collect her things on the ground, he had meant to bend down and help her pick her things up, but had found himself spending far too much time staring at the girl's petite little form, not to mention quite a cute little derrière.

She quickly stood up and frowned at him. Arthur then only realized that he been caught staring where he shouldn't have been. He had then thought to say something and wanted to but by that time she had already made her intentions clear. She gave him angry glare as she scoffed and walked off. With some strange looking dude... Oh my God, is that her boyfriend'...

God surely, she can't be that desperate". The guy was too pale in complexion and way too skinny plus he had this real devious shifty look about him.

Arthur watched them walk away he couldn't help but think to himself 'well suppose each to their own. He then made a move to hurry off to class.

It was in that instant that his mobile beeped. It was a text from Gwaine

MIDAZ CHK YUR YRBOOK PGE 27 CAPTN:203 YUR TRGT, TXT BK TO CNFRM.

Once in class seated at his desk, Arthur pulled his year book from his bag and checked page 27 He ran his finger along and down the page scanning, caption 203, 203, 203. 'Oh crapp!'

And couldn't believe his eyes, It was her! The nanny dresser, with the bean pole boyfriend. Arthur then read the caption description below her picture

Guinevere Stacy Leodegrance; Class of 2010 History Major graduated with honours top of her class. Avid book club member and would one day like to meet her idol…

Arthur now frowned, whispering to himself, 'God, this might be a bit of an impossible task being that I think she might already hate me'.

Quickly pulling out his phone he then quickly sent his text."AFFIRMATIVE MIDAZ OUT!
