"Oh my God!" the cheerleader's friend, Samantha, exclaimed as Sarah tried to get her brush out of her hair. "Pryde I know you had something to do with and when I find out what exactly you had to with it, you will pay!"

Kat just sat there trying not to die of laughter. Her master plan to embarrass her arch nemesis the first week back worked. "I.had nothing.to.do with it.I swear!" she said in between gasps for breathe. Every passerby found this situation rather amusing.

"Take a picture. It will last longer you fools!" Sarah said as she began to sob. Her friends came up to her and led her away to the bathroom so she could get the brush out of the captain's hair.

Meanwhile after Sarah left the hall everyone decided to depart. Kat went to her locker to meet her friends. "Was that not the best prank yet?" Kat said to Amber and Rob.

"That was pretty good. Though I have to admit, when I saw Mrs. Rusher's face at that skeleton and the cob webs and stuff. Man I thought she was going to have a heart attack," replied Rob.

"Well, she did go to she her psychologist at lunch," added Amber.

"Your serious?" Kat inquired.

"Uh huh. I know this because she asked me to help her find her keys."

"Now I feel kind of bad. Well Kat you better be on your guard because Grey is going to be after you big time this year," Rob warned.

"Yeah because this year you not only embarrassed her but you also messed with the 'do'," Amber reminded Kat.

"I know, but this year I am not going to respond to the pranks, if I fall victim to any, like Sarah will want me to," Kat told them while an evil grin came across her face. "Lets get to lunch you guys. I want to get there early so that we can eat lunch somewhere where nobody is around so that I don't have to run into Matt," Kat said to her friends as they were pointing to something behind her as to tell her that Matt was behind her and heard what she said. A stupid grin appeared on her face as she said, "He's right behind me isn't he? Looking at my butt most likely."

"I wouldn't call it looking.more of like staring," Amber said to Kat as her grin disappeared into a deadly stare.

As she turned around Matt looked up and said, "You get prettier every time I see you."

"I'll take that as an insult. Come on guys let's go." As Kat said that Matt along with Rob and Amber followed. "I meant Rob and Amber!"

"I know.but I need to talk to you."

"No you don't you just want to either ask me out on a date or to go to prom with you. Just to let you know, my answer is no to both questions. Although, if you must talk to me you can walk with me three feet to the side of me and one foot in front of me.but that's another thing. You DON'T need to talk to me. You just want to. So good bye."

"Kat do you think you could be any harsher to him?" Amber said as they walked away.

Rob started to chuckle when he saw Matt trying to calculate three feet and one foot. Eventually he gave up his hopeless attempts and just decided to walk by Kat anyway so he could talk to her.

"Guys where do you want to sit?" Kat asked.

"How about under that oak tree?" Amber suggested.

"Sure.why not," said Rob.

The three walked over to the tree and Kat set down a blanket for them to sit on.

"So Kat, I was wonderin' if you wanted to go to the movies with me on Friday and to the prom with me on Saturday?"

"No I will not go to the movies with you Friday. And why would I want to go to an antiquated mating ritual just so that my date can get drunk and then I would have to drive them home?" Was Kat's response.

"Ok, why won't you go with me to the movies on Friday other than for the normal reasons? And ok to whatever it was you said for the prom question."

Kat whispered something into Amber's ear and Amber said, "Kat says why do you want to go out on a date with her so badly?"

Matt was taken back by the question. He thought about it for a minute and then said, "I suppose it is because I can't have her. She's hot." At that response Kat gave him a 'I am going to burn you glare' which he had sort of become immune to. "She is intelligent. And hot.did I mention hot?"

After Matt answered Kat thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you ever take an interest in my personal life. As in like, maybe become my friend or something. I know that would be impossible now because I would not let you even if you tried, but earlier, like, when you first started asking me out? It would have worked a lot better than bugging me every day for the rest of my life! I mean if Rob asked me out I would probably say." Rob got a weird look on his face like 'why would I ask you out? Your my best friend!' and then Kat went on. "Well I would probably say no," Rob's face dropped to a frown look when he heard that, "but only because Rob is like a brother to me and I would want to date my brother."

"I don't know.I never thought about it like that, but to late to change things now. So why won't you go out with me on Friday?"

"I have plans! My God do you ever shut up?!"

"Sometimes.but only when I get what I want."

At that Kat whispered something into Rob's ear. Then Rob said, "Kat asks why won't you ask Amber out?"

Matt pondered that for a second and answered, "Because I know I could have her. I want a challenge.something I can't have...again."

"Ya know he has a point. I would say yes in a second if Matt asked me out. Wait a minute.again?"

With that comment Kat waved her hand as if to dismiss Matt and his drones.

When school was out the three friends walked to Rob's house. Luke, another guy who actually wants either Kat or Amber, and neither are interested, lives in Robs neighborhood and always met the trio on their way to Rob's house.

"Hey Kat, what are you doing this Friday night?" Luke asked as he cut in front of her making her stop.

"Nothing with you.as usual. Now move," was Kat's annoyed reply.

"How 'bout you Amber?"

"Same.sorry."

"Rob man.help me out."

"Sorry dude, you are on your own."

"Fine. I night not have won today.but I will date both of you, eventually!"

As Luke walked away defeated Kat and Amber just looked at each other and kept on walking. When they reached Rob's house Amber and Kat called their parents to let them know where the two were. Then they all went into the living room to watch Inuyasha which Rob had always taped for Kat since Kat didn't have cable.

"Kat, there has been something that I have been wondering since like, the fifth time Matt has asked you out," Amber said when there was a commercial.

"And that would be?" Kat said thinking that she would have to tell her friends about Matt and her dating. She knew she would eventually but she didn't want to now.

"Why does Matt always say again when you give him the speech.and why does he know he can't have you?"

Kat took a deep breath. "Ok.you guys can't like, wig out or anything.but before you two came to South Hampton High I went out with Matt." Kat waited for the hits that she thought would follow. When she didn't feel anything she thought she was either dead or they died. When she looked up all she saw were blank expressions. "Are you guys ok?" When they didn't answer she hugged their limp bodies. "Oh no! There dead! I have killed them with the very disturbing news!" She said being very melodramatic.

At that Amber got out of her friend's clutch and yelled, " WHAT THE HELL! Your kidding right? I am your best friend and you didn't tell me this? I can't believe you! I gotta go."

As Amber picked up her hoodie and left Kat looked at Rob. Then she said, "are you gonna yell at me too?"

"No.I knew it all along. Matt told me," was Rob's reply.

"He what?!?!? That is it.I am going to call him right now!" Kat picked up the phone and dialed his number."

"Hey Rob! My compadre!"

"No this is mot your compadre! This is Kat! And I am going to burn you! I told you to tell no one about us ever dating and then you tell my best friend!"

"And the football team," Rob added.

"The what? OH MY GOD! MATT!!! How could you do this?!?!?!"

"Well you see to increase my popularity status I had to have gone out with one of the hottest bachelorettes of this year.and since we dated two years ago then you stilled count as one of my ex-girlfriends.and since your one of the hottest bachelorettes I told them about us going out two years ago."

"Did you tell them why I broke up with you?"

"No.why?"

"Because no one in the school needs to know about my personal life!"

"Ok.sheesh!"

"I HATE YOU MATT!!" Kat said as she hung up.

After that Kat said good bye to Rob and left.
