A/N: So sorry it's been so long since an update! I honestly thought I was writing this for myself, so when I checked in and realized I actually had followers, it made me happy! So here's chapter two! And don't worry, I do plan on finishing this, even if it takes me forever to update. So I apologize in advance, just in case. Please review, it honestly does make the writing process a lot easier when I know what people are thinking. Enjoy!

Carter strode into class the next morning, her mind set on beginning her plan to get Donnie to go to homecoming with her. Phase One: Forgive Bull. He was her lynchpin. Without him, her entire plan fell apart, as well as her possibly bright future with Donnie. Glancing around the classroom, she spotted Bull. Bingo.

He was such a creature of habit. Every day, he showed up in homeroom nearly an hour early to do the homework he didn't do the night before. At least that was what she thought he did... If it wasn't what he did she seriously didn't want to know what it was he did do. Shaking off those thoughts, she plastered her best sweet smile on her face.

If she was going to get anything out of Bull, it would require some near prostitution. She stepped in front of him and planted her hands on her hips. When he finally looked up at her, his eyebrows were raised. "Can I help you, Little Miss Unforgiving?"

Okay, so maybe he wasn't going to fold as easy as she thought. "Well, I was going to say that I was about to forgive you, but now that you said that-" She whirled on her toes and began to walk out of the room. So she had a quick temper. Since when was that a crime? But, unfortunately for her temper, Bull wasn't giving up that easily.

"Carter, don't go." He was grinning when she turned back around to face him, her arms crossed over her chest. "I'm glad you forgave me. I accept your forgiveness and inquire the reason for your change of mind."

Carter narrowed her eyes at him. "What is wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?" He looked genuinely confused at her question.

"Why are you talking like that?"

He gave her a pitying half smile. "Like I actually have half a brain in this attractive head of mine?"

Her lips tipped up in a smirk. "Like your head is actually attractive." She flashed him one last smug smile and turned around to walk out of the classroom. She hadn't gone three steps when Bull's hand pulled her back.

"Wait, that's it?"

She raised her eyebrows at him. "What do you mean?"

He raised his eyebrows in return. "Well, I could have sworn we were flirting just then. And then you just turned around and walked away." He knew he had just put his foot in his mouth when her face darkened with fury. He just had no clue what he'd said. There was no way she hadn't been flirting with him. Those smirks were sexy as hell and the tension between them could be cut with a knife. He loved it. Mainly because he loved- no, he couldn't go there. Associating feelings with her would probably only end in disaster.

"There's no way in hell I would ever flirt with you," she snapped. "I just wanted your help on the English project."

He looked taken aback. "I would love to help you with the English project."

She looked at him skeptically, but nodded eventually. "Okay. Meet me outside the school tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock. Bring Romeo and Juliet."

He smiled. "You know that could be interpreted so many ways." She narrowed her eyes and walked out of the classroom.

"How could he think I was flirting with him?" Carter ranted, pacing in front of Rosie in her room. "I mean, I was mean to him. In what alternate universe is that flirting?"

Rosie sat there in silence.

Carter held out a hand impatiently. "Well?"

"Oh, you actually want me to speak this time?" Rosie looked mock surprised. "Because the last two times you asked for my opinion, I opened my mouth and you just kept talking."

Carter rolled her eyes at the princess. "Fine, fine. What do you think?"

"I think," Rosie began slowly, looking at Carter. "That you were subconsciously flirting with him. But it could have been just practice flirting for Donnie." She rushed to add.

Carter narrowed her eyes. "You're lucky I like you." She stormed out of the room. Rosie watched her go with raised eyebrows. There was no way Carter's ingenious plan was going to end well.
