AUTHOR'S NOTE: I have a really good idea (in my opinion) for the next few chapters and i think that it will work out great! Please read this chapter and let me know what you think! :))

It was after dinner, about 9:15pm that night, which the idea sprung into Lennox's head. She was just doing her French homework almost falling asleep at her computer, when she realised something. She knew that for years now, Mel and Joe had loved each other, but they were way too stubborn to admit it, so all she had to do was come up with a plan to get them together! She would need help of course, from Ryder, but that would be easy, she could just threaten or blackmail him or something. She raced into Ryder's room forgetting to knock and burst in on Ryder with his girlfriend, kissing in a corner. "Ugh, gross! Sorry!" She moaned and then quickly backed out of the room. She would have to tell him in the morning, which meant that she could spend the rest of the night jotting down ideas in her notebook for as how she could get Mel and Joe together.

She grabbed a pen and wrote: Ideas for M&J, knowing that she would have to keep this from them. The best thing was to make sure that they were alone and neither Ryder nor her came and interrupted them like they had before on several occasions. It would have to be at the right setting as well and both of them of course had to be single; Lennox could fix that in a few minutes. Maybe she could lock them in the basement and "accidentally" lose the keys, either they would strangle each other and die or they would admit their true feelings for each other. Lennox decided that either situation wasn't so bad so unless she came up with a better idea, she was going to do that. By about 1:00am, Lennox was lying on her bed fast asleep with the notebook slipping out of her hands. It read:

Ideas for M&J

1. Make sure they are alone – Ryder and I WON'T interrupt them.

2. Deal with any girlfriends/boyfriends they currently have by bad mouthing them to their dates.

3. Blackmail Ryder into helping.

4. Choose the right time, when they are both in the house, maybe in the evening and accidently lock them in the basement. I will lure Aunt Mel in and Ryder will get Joe to go in there then I will lock the basement, "forgetting" that they're in there and "accidently" "lose" the keys.

5. We will keep them in there until they either strangle each other or tell each other how they really feel.

6. Depending on the outcome, congratulate myself and pat Ryder on the head for being a good boy.

At breakfast the next day, Lennox shoved her meal down her throat as quickly as possible, grabbed Ryder by the collar and hauled him up the stairs before her aunt or Joe could protest. She locked them in her room and took a deep breath before saying, "Ryder, I need your help. I'm plotting to get Mel and Joe together but it will only work if you're in." She had to practically choke the words out; it was a rare occasion she asked him for anything.

"Why would I help you?" He asked, smiling slightly.

"Ah, well if you don't I will post your browsing history on my Instagram, twitter, Facebook and my blog!" she grinned triumphantly, knowing there was no way he could refuse.

He gritted his teeth, his face a look of surprise and managed to say, "Fine! I'm in! What do I have to do?"

The next ten minutes was spent revising the plan that Lennox had written up last night. "We're doing it tonight," She whispered, "As soon as Aunt Mel comes home and has had her glass of wine, you stick to your side of the plan and get Joe in the basement, make sure you're not in there with him. I will then get Aunt Mel to come in and we lock the door. Understood?" She asked her brother, hoping desperately this plan of hers would work.

Ryder nodded and they rushed down the stairs, where an impatient Joe was waiting for them. Despite the fact they would be late for school and would probably get told off, Lennox knew it would be worth it in the end.
