I woke up tired and groggy. I couldn't sleep at all. All night this stupid bet was on my mind. 'What should I do to get her to fall for me?' 'I shouldn't have done this' 'what if I lose?' and my mental rants go on and on and on.

I heard a knock on my door and female giggling outside. "I hope it isn't Charlie and Eliza" I said "they always want to play house and I am sick of being the child"

I got dressed and opened the door. And to my surprise (and relief) it was not Charlie and Eliza, but almost every girl on the island. Julia, Lanna, and Natalie were standing at my doorway. They ran inside and practically made themselves at home.

"What are you girls doing here?!" I demanded to know.

"We heard about the bet between you and Chelsea and we want to help you win" Julia answered.

"Why would you want to do that?" I simply asked. I had no idea why these girls would want to help me. I rarely ever talked to them, so why?

This time it was Lanna who answered me. "We are Chelsea's best friends, and we have been ever since we came to this island. But for three years she has never once been with a guy and we think she needs to settle down with a nice one. And this is a perfect chance! And since we all have boyfriends we could give you ideas".

"You all have boyfriends" I asked, starting to get interested.

"Yeah" Natalie answered "Julia has Elliot, Lanna has Denny, and I have Vaughn"

"Whoa! Wait a minute, your dating Vaughn?!"

"Yeah. I'm pretty shocked myself"

"Can we please get back to the subject?!" Julia screeched. She is quite terrifying when she's mad. I don't know how Elliot stands it. "Now, we have to think of a way for her to like you…" Julia went off into her train of thought.

"Hey look!" Lanna said pointing at my clock "It's lunch time, let's think this over at the Diner"

"Okay, let's go" said Natalie, dragging along a very dazed Julia.

Once we were at the diner we all ordered something to eat. I, being pretty stressed out, sat down and started banging my head on our table (were the only ones at the diner).

"Hey Pierre, what in the world are you doing?" Julia asked, probably wondering why I was currently banging my head on our table. I looked up at her and she had to cover her mouth to suppress the laughing. Apparently the look of my little kid pouting expression and the newly formed big purple bruise on my forehead was funny. Lanna and Natalie started laughing to.

"Hey, wait a minute" Lanna said, still fighting back giggles "this might work for us"

"How could this work?" I asked seriously wondering how a bruise on my forehead could possibly make her fall for me.

"She has always had a natural motherly instinct" Natalie said "She always helped stop fights between me and Elliot when we first got here"

"Hmmmm… But I say we need some tears to sell the whole child act" Lanna said.

"Well, how am I suppose-" I was cut off by the loud bang of Lanna stomping on my foot. I immediately clutched my foot and started screaming at Lanna. "WHAT IN THE NAME OS THE HARVEST GODDESS DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!"

"My, my Pierre. That is one big mouth" Lanna joked.

"Still, why did you stomp on my foot?" I asked, stating to get the feeling back into my foot.

"To make you cry" Lanna said simply, as if it was a perfect explanation.

"Well, it didn't work"

Lanna was about to stomp on my foot for a second time when Natalie stopped her (thank you Natalie). "You know, I don't think making Chelsea motherly will help her fall in love with Pierre, but instead make her treat him like a little kid"

"Yeah, nice going Lanna" Julia said sarcastically.

"Well I don't see anyone else coming up with idea" Lanna countered.

Right after Lanna finished talking Chelsea walked in with Denny. This made me very angry but Lanna surprisingly stayed calm.

"Hey Lanna, that's your boyfriend, aren't you mad?" I asked. If I was mad because someone who was not my girlfriend was with another guy, wouldn't she be mad if someone who is her boyfriend was with another girl?

"Nah" she said "Denny said their just friends"

Just hearing this made me fully relieved because now I might actually have a shot with her. That is, until I saw her blush.

"Or maybe not" Natalie said When Chelsea blushed. "They look like more than friends to me"

Now Lanna and I were both trembling with anger. Denny saw me shooting daggers at him (not literally, of course) and saw Lanna glaring at him. I could hear him say an excuse to Chelsea and he left as fast as he could. Chelsea looked over her shoulder to say goodbye and saw me at the other side of the diner and started to walk over. The girls had "conveniently" abandoned me and when looked at Chelsea she had a worried expression on her face.

"Are you okay?" she said when she finally got here. I wondered what she was talking about and then I suddenly remembered the bruise on my forehead.

"Y-yeah" was all I could manage to say while fighting back the blush that was slowly forming on my face. She touched her hand to my bruise, asked if I was okay one more time, said bye, then left.

"Well, I think that went well" Julia said as the girls walked back over.

"Say thank you" Lanna said.

"Why?"

"Because I was the one who thought of using the bruise in our plan"

"Thank you" Julia said in the most sarcastic voice I ever heard.

"Let's go back to Pierre's house and think of more ideas" Natalie said. And with that, we left.
