Author's Note:

Okay, once again, I would like to thank TEMPEST for her generosity in letting me write this story, seeing as it is her idea.  I really appreciate it.  Besides being bored at work, I have had complete writers block, until your story came along.  I am sure you can feel me there.  ; )  I really have enjoyed letting my mind explore the possibilities with this, it's like writing another teen movie.  : P

Ok so on with it then.

I hope this flows correctly.

DeAnna went around getting information that would be useful to them.  She went to her regular sources for information.  She was careful not to seem too obvious when asking various people about Jacob.  She spoke to the usual people who were good for information, which included, Fulton, Russ (of course) and Vicki.  All of who were friends of hers so, when she dropped little questions here and there no one thought much of it.

Ainsley had her way of getting information about Jacob, and Rebecca and Dean as well.  (As far as Dean's real reputation with the ladies is concerned.)  She had class with Adam so sometimes she would drop a few questions in about the team and how everything was going and about the playoffs and how they were doing in getting ready for the "Big Game".  Every game in the playoffs was a big game, but this one was the BIG one.  Everyone knew the Ducks were going all the way, so the last game would be the toughest one and they just had to win it so they could be the champions for all 4 years that they were there.  So that particular game held more than just the championship for that year.  It held the opportunity to continue their 3-year winning streak.

(Besides Adam was a hottie in his own right.  She knew she had a secret crush on him since she first saw him step onto the ice with varsity when he was a freshman.)

Jessica too was doing some sleuthing of her own.

She got her information from Charlie, and decided that Dean was a good guy.  He never treated women badly; he was just a thug sometimes.  But since he came to Eden Hall he had matured a lot and acted older than his years.  Jessica secretly thought of hookin' up with Conway.  Being the girlfriend of the captain of the Varsity hockey team would be awesome.

Charlie was happy to help, he liked Cammy and didn't like that she was being mistreated.

As she talked to him, and to her other friends and sources, she was careful not to let it get to be a big deal, so she kept her meetings with Charlie a secret. 

It was time to meet up with Camryn and let her in on the info they had gotten.

"Hey girls, what's up?"   I asked when I came into Jessica and Ainsley's room.

"Oh plenty," Jessica said.

"Ok, here's the plan," started DeAnna.  "There is a dance on Friday, we are going to see if we can get anything on him while you are there with him.  When you dance for a while, go ahead and let him think he may get somewhere with you, but be careful not to act suspicious.  Then you will go to the bathroom, and I will have one of my people, go up to him and talk to him." 

"Okay, sounds easy enough."  I said.

"He's going to be at Kelly's Diner on 5th and Chapman at around 4pm.  You can meet him there, smooth things over about him assuming, and make sure he asks You to the dance on Friday." Informed Ainsley.

"You have to make that window though," said Jessica, "because he has an appointment to get fitted for a suit at 5pm down the street at Camden's."

"How do you guys know all this?" I asked.

"We have our ways," the girls said in unison.

 It only took a second then they started busting up laughing.

"Right well, it's 3:28 now, I guess I better freshen up and get going."  I said. 

"K we will help you.  And while you are out grab a bright 'kiss me' color lipstick."  Advised Jessica.

"Alright, I don't know what good that is going to do, but fine."  I said.
