A/N: Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention a couple things. If this is the first fic you've ever read authored by me, then you've got to know a couple of things. AJ (Or sometimes Albert) is an OC created by me. Funny thing is that we both have the same name and share a few distinct characteristics. You see, I try to imagine myself in the predicaments AJ gets into and think what I would do. It makes it easier to write when an author incorporates his/her characteristics in the OC. I mean, who else knows you better than yourself? Well, that's not true in my case but that's beside the point. And secondly, HS stands for High School. Sorry for making this so long.


Chapter Three: Horribly Embarrassed


'Why is my car so stupid?' Allenby thought as she popped the hood to check if she didnt blow a casket. 'I should've just hitched a ride with Rain. God, why am I so stupid?' Allenby kicked the tires of her hot pink Honda S2000. Suddenly she noticed footsteps coming toward her. 'That must be Rain. I'll just ask for a ride home.'


"I see that you're havin' trouble with your ride," said a very low seductive voice.


'Wait... Low, seductive voice... that's not Rain!!' She spun around to see none other than Mr. Bigshot himself.


"The hell do you want," Allenby said, an annoyed expression on her face.


AJ flinched as he heard those harsh words. 'Gee, that's pretty harsh. Here I am, the most popular guy in school, tryin' to lend a helping hand and she blows up on me. What the hell, there's something wrong with that picture... Naw, she's just tryin' to play hard to get. No worries there, I'll crack her,' AJ thought gleefully as he put on a goofy smile to show he wasnt affected by her words.


"Well, it seems to me that you just short-circuited your ride," AJ said as he nodded sagely at the circuits Allenby was holding. "Let me show you how to get it runnin' again." He flashed her his trademark smile, the sun giving his almost godly white teeth an extra sheen.


AJ gently grabbed Allenby's hand and readjusted the circuits to their proper order. Allenby stared at him in disbelief.


'What does he think he's doing?' she thought. 'And why is he suddenly so nice to me, when he didnt even know I exist just last week?' She noticed the golden glint in his calm blue eyes. 'Is that his real eye color? It's very pretty..'


Her car engine turned over. Somehow, this brought some unsettling memories for Allenby.

"No, I dont want to go out with you." It was three years ago, during her freshman year.


"Why not?" She asked, tears in eyes as she gazed intently at him.


The three year younger Chibodee Crocket sighed in frustration as he responded. "Because you dont have what it takes to be with me," he stated simply. Just then, Shirley entered and Chibodee wrapped his arms around her.


"See, unlike you, Shirley has class."


The two started their mack session as Allenby's heart was broken into little pieces. Ever since that day, she vowed to never trust a guy ever again.


~*~


'Wait a minute... AJ knows Chibodee, they're pretty tight. Then that must mean...' Allenby thought as anger flowed throughout her entire body. 'That Chibodee must've put him up to this. So he's only here to make FUN of me!!!'


"Hey what are you doin'" AJ asked when Allenby pushed him away.


"I can get along fine without your help, Mr. Football Player!"


AJ winced at the sarcastic tone in her voice. 'What the hell?!?! I'm only tryin' to help her!! Grr, the nerve of her!!'


Allenby hopped into her car angrily and zoomed off, leaving poor AJ "eating her dust."


Rain witnessed the whole scene, shocked at her friend's reaction. She then noticed Domon and Sai in the corner, laughing their tails off. The shorter guy had a video camera on hand and recorded the whole thing. Anger swelled up in her as she went over to the unexpected duo.


"How DARE you put AJ up to this!!" she yelled as she gave Domon a stnging smack. Domon was flabbergasted at his target, unable to speak.


"You're pathetic, Domon Kasshu!" Throwing her hands up in the air, Rain stalked off angrily.


Snickering, Sai had it all on his camera. 'Two turndowns by those two in one day. Can you smell blackmail?' he thought gleefully.




As AJ turned around he saw none other than Domon and Sai laughing their asses off. "Smooth, AJ. REAL smooth. You've REALLY got a way with the ladies," Domon said sarcastically as Sai was on all fours banging the ground with his fist.


Growling, AJ answered, "Just wait and see, Domon. I'm just lackin' a bit of my charm today."


"Dont give me that," Domon responded with a grin. "You were givin' her your best moves and even with them you still got rejected."


"Yeah, well you just worry about your end of the bargain. I havent seen you makin' an effort to talk to Rain. At least I'm ahead, however small the lead is." AJ glanced at his platinum rolex. His eyes widened. "Holy crap!! We've got to go, Domon. If we're late again, Master Asia's gonna have our asses on a silver platter."


Immediately, AJ hopped into his ride and drove off.


Domon, who was still standing there in a stupor, rubbed the place where he got slapped. "Well, it looks like we BOTH have our works cut out for us, doesnt it?" he muttered as he got into his car and followed AJ.




A/N: Now that the two know what they're up against, what will they do to win their girl's heart? Hmm... Thank you all for reviewing. I appreciate it and hope you like this fic.


AJ: Why'd you make Allenby turn me down?


^_^ so it'll create more of a problem for you to win her heart!


AJ: ......


Domon: ......


But dont worry; I've got a foolproof plan. It's bound to work, trust me. There hasnt been a time where the plan backfired, I should know.


AJ: Oh, okay.


Domon: Cool.


See you next time!
