A/N : Drive Me Crazy is one of my favourite films but there was one thing that always annoys me about the end. Everybody who deserves to have somebody seems to have somebody (Chase and Nicole, Dave and Dee, Brad and Alicia, Mrs Maris and Mr Hammond) except for one guy. This story finds a girl for this one guy who deserves someone special.

I'm not sure if this is going to work out but I'm going to try anyway and I'd be very happy to hear any comments about this first chapter, so if you read, please review.

(Disclaimer : I do not own any characters from 'Drive Me Crazy' They are owned by the makers of the film, and Todd Strasser, author of 'How I created My Perfect Prom Date' (the book on which the film Drive Me crazy was based). I own one character, called Jennifer Jacobs)

Chapter 1 - The Centennial Dance

She had watched the whole thing. She was glad Nicole and Chase were finally back together. Of course, she was happy for them, but she was happy for herself too as it gave her a chance to make her own dreams come true, but it still pained her to see the guy she loved so upset.

Jennifer Jacobs was in love with Ray Neeley. Unfortunately for Jenny, Ray had the biggest crush on Nicole Maris, and with her in the picture, there was no chance of Ray even looking at anyone else. In fairness, no-on really paid a whole lot of attention to Jenny anyway. She was just another school girl at Timothy Zonin High School. A normal, plain, regular girl with nothing special about her at all. Nicole had everything that Jenny wanted. She was smart, she was blonde, she was beautiful, she knew how to dress, basically she was the complete opposite of Jenny.

However, when Nicole started dating Chase, Jenny thought maybe she'd get her chance with Ray. She hoped that he might even ask her to the Centennial Dance but it was not to be. Ray was Nicole's back up and so when the news broke out in Time Zone High that Nicole and Chase had broken up, Jenny realised her hopes had been shattered. She was never going to get her dream date with her dream guy.

'Friends, popularity and love' she thought to herself as she gulped down her fourth glass of punch, which she was pretty sure was spiked with something, 'that's all I really want' she sighed, 'is that too much to ask'.

The dance should have been a lot of fun, but not for Jenny. The few friends she had, had managed to get dates amongst themselves and so were paying a lot of attention to each other and very little attention to her. No-one asked her to dance, no-one spoke to her, everyone was far too busy having a good time to notice Jennifer Jacobs.

Eight glasses of spiked punch later, Jenny stumbled out of the front doors of the high school and into the limo her brother had rented for himself, his sister and his date. Tim Jacobs, who was hardly any more popular than his older sister, asked her if she was okay, as the car began to move. His date, Stacey, a girl who was usually equally unnoticed and unwanted as Jenny, tried to smile sympathetically but Jenny just ignored her.

"I'm fine" she snapped, pressing her face against the glass of the limo door and dreaming of how the evening might have been if only Ray would've noticed her.

When the car pulled up outside the Jacob's house, Jenny fell out of the door and into the house. She practically crawled up the stairs to her bedroom, all this time thankful that her parents had gone away that afternoon and would not be back until Sunday night, and also that her brother was too pre-occupied with Stacey, to bother her anymore tonight.

Jenny collapsed onto her bed and sighed deeply. It was four in the morning, but she had decided, she had to do it and it had to be now. It had taken her the car ride home to make the decision, but now she was determined to do it. She picked up the phone and pulled out the phone directory. Her eyes almost refused to focus on the pages but Jenny blinked hard and after several minutes of trying to remember her alphabet, she managed to find the number she needed. She picked up the phone again and dialled.

"Hello?" said a voice on the other end.

"Hi, Nicole, this is Jenny"

Nicole tried to think of all the people she knew called Jenny. It was after four in the morning and she was just staring to feel sleepy after the nights events. Chase had turned up at the dance and they had ended up in their old tree house kissing, after coming home and finding out that her mother and his father were a couple. They didn't care. They were in love and now she had been sitting her bedroom, day-dreaming about what had happened and what was going to happen, almost unable to sleep with all the excitement that had taken place.

"Jenny?" Nicole questioned, unable to place the name, immediately.

"Jenny Jacobs" the girl told her.

"Oh, hi" Nicole suddenly realised who she was talking to. She remembered sitting near Jenny in a few classes and talking too her several times but they were not close friends and Nicole found it strange that this girl was calling her at this hour.

"What can I do for you?" she asked, curiously.

"I was wondering if you could help me with something..." Jenny began.

"Okay" Nicole answered non-commitally.

"Well, it's kind of hard to explain right now, on the phone and everything" Jenny's mind was clouded by the alcohol she had consumed and the mixture of emotions she was feeling.

"Can I come over to your house later, it's important" she said, eventually.

Nicole was not really sure what to say. She didn't really want to give an answer when it was not clear what the girl actually wanted but the amount of dancing and other things she had done were starting to catch up with her and tiredness was taking over, so she decided just to agree.

"Sure, why not" she tried to sound cheery about it and Jenny certainly sounded pleased to have received this response.

"Thankyou, Nicole, it really means a lot to me, thankyou so much"

"Okay, so I'll see you around two in the afternoon, is that okay?" Nicole suggested.

"That's fine. That's great, brilliant, thankyou" Jenny was thrilled.

"Okay, well I'll see you then" Nicole wanted desperately to get off the phone, "Bye"

"Bye" Jenny answered, giggling as she hung up the phone.

In less than ten hours her plan would be put into action and then maybe Ray would notice her and she would get the guy of her dreams.
