Here's part 3. I actually got it written pretty quickly. Hope you like it. Thanks to everyone who's read and reviewed so far.

At lunch the next day, JT stared at the blank pages of his notebook. He was really screwed. He wanted to plan the best, most perfect date for him and Paige, but he was coming up empty. He couldn't think of anything. Actually, he could think of lots of ideas, but nothing that would be good enough for Paige. He wanted something spectacular. Something that would make her say, "Wow, JT is really a great guy." The only ideas he had were things that would make her say, "Wow, I should've stuck with Spinner." He sighed and pressed his head against the lunch table.

"What is your problem?" JT lifted his head up and saw Toby sitting down next to him.

"I'm a loser."

"I agree. What else is new?"

"Thanks, thanks a lot, Toby."

"Well, what's the problem? I can't help if you won't tell me."

"I've got a date and it needs to be perfect."

"I thought you and Manny broke up."

"We did. It's with someone else."

"Yeah? With who?"

"You won't believe me if I tell you."

"Sure, I will. Who is it?"

"It's Paige." Toby choked on his milk and laughed.

"Paige? Paige Michalchuk? You've got to be kidding me."

"No. No, I'm not. Paige said she'd go out with me Friday night. And it's gotta be awesome."

"Are you sure she's not getting paid this time?"

"Hey, that was two years ago. She said she wants to go out with me."

"Excuse me for being surprised. I didn't know Paige would go out with the likes of you."

"Gee, thanks for the compliment."

"Come on, JT. You know what Paige is like. I'm just saying-"

JT shook his head. "Yeah, yeah. I know. Skip the commentary. If you don't want to help me, just keep you mouth shut."

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Why does it have to be special? Just take her to the movies or something."

"Are you kidding? This is Paige. I want to impress her. Besides, we watched movies the first time. I want to do something different."

"The first time? You went out with Paige before and you didn't tell me?"

"I didn't exactly go out with her. We were both abandoned by our friends and had no plans so she came over to my house and we watched some movies."

Toby stared at JT in shock. "She was in your house? Where did she sit? Did she touch anything?"

JT rolled his eyes. "Toby, stop being a dork. I need some help."

"Hey, if she's hung out with you and is still willing to date you, I'd say that's half the battle."

"Ha Ha. I'm serious here."

"I can tell."

"So, any ideas?"

"No, but I do have some advice," Toby said, looking serious.

"Yeah, what?"

"Just be careful, man."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you just broke up with Manny. Are you sure you're not rushing things?"

"No, I'm not. I mean, I wasn't planning on this, but I've always had a thing for Paige. You know that."

"Yeah, I know. That's why I'm worried. She was with Spinner a long time. You could be a rebound thing."

"I'm not. She wants to go out with me."

"JT- I just don't want you to get so caught up with her that you don't think. This could end badly for you."

"It won't. I know it won't."

"I-" JT jumped up.

"Forget it, man. I don't even know why I'm asking you for help anyway. I'll see you around." JT walked angrily away.

Toby sighed. "This isn't going to end well."

Hazel smiled at Paige as she sat down next to her in English class. "Jeez, Hazel, what are you so happy about? It's English, not a party."

"Jimmy's taking me out tonight."

"Again? What is it this time, your 6 and a half month anniversary?"

"Cute, and no. He wants to take me out just because."

"Oh, my God."

"You're just jealous."

"Yeah, that's it."

"Hey, I don't see anyone taking you to a fancy restaurant."

Paige rolled her eyes. "Nice, Hazel."

"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I was just teasing."

"Yeah, okay."

"I'm sorry." Hazel hesitated for a bit. "But, seriously, Paige, when was the last time you went out with someone?"

"Hey, I go out."

"Yeah, with friends. But you and Spinner broke up. Don't you think it's time you went out with someone else?"

"Spinner and I haven't been apart that long."

"Paige-"

"Besides, I'm going out with a guy on Friday."

"What? Who? And why haven't you told me all about him?"

"It's- it's just a guy. And I haven't said anything because I don't want to jinx it."

Hazel grabbed Paige's arm. "Jinx it? Are you kidding me?"

"No. I want it to go well."

"Come on."

"I'll tell you everything on Saturday, assuming it doesn't go horribly."

"You're not acting like yourself. Normally, you'd tell me all about this mystery guy."

"Whatever. I'm not saying a word." Paige pulled her English book out. "Now, tell me. Did you get this story we read?"

Hazel sighed, knowing she wasn't going to get anything else out of Paige. "Yeah, I did." She paused. "So, what his name?"

"Read, Hazel."

"Fine."

Toby ran after JT as he was leaving school. "Hey, JT. Wait up."

JT kept walking. "You're not going start up about Paige again, are you?"

"No, I'm not," Toby said, finally catching up with JT. "I'm sorry, man. Okay? If you're sure about this thing with Paige, then I'm happy for you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. In fact, I think I've got an idea for your date with her."

"Tell me."

"Okay, okay." The two boys walked to JT's house, plotting the whole way.

Friday afternoon, Ashley walked up to Paige's locker. "Hey, Paige."

"Oh, hey, Ash. What's up?"

"Nothing. I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight?"

"You don't have plans with Craig?"

"I don't always have go out with him."

"Sure. But, anyway, I can't tonight. I've got plans."

"Really? What?"

Paige shut her locker door and turned toward Ashley. "I've got- Wow, Hazel's good."

"What?"

"Please, hon. Hazel's been trying to get the details about my date all week long. She's just recruited you to do her dirty work."

Ashley rolled her eyes. "What's with the secrecy? It's just a date."

"Look, I told Hazel I don't want to talk about it until after it's done. Just deal with it. God, you're both so nosy."

"Whoa, look who's talking."

"Yeah, yeah. I don't care. I'll talk to you later." Paige shook her head and walked away.

JT shifted nervously on his feet in front of Paige's front door. He couldn't screw this up. "Cool it, man. You've got this made. She agreed to go with you. You've got a pretty good date planned. It's no problem." He sucked in a huge breath and pressed the doorbell. "Here goes nothing."

Paige was walking down the stairs when she heard the doorbell. Thank God Dylan was at school. The last thing she needed was his comments about her date. She was nervous enough without him butting in. She couldn't figure out why she was so freaked out. It was just JT. But she knew that she wanted this to work out. She grabbed her purse and opened the door. "Hi," she said, smiling.

JT grinned back. "Hi, you ready to go?"

She nodded. "Definitely. I assume you've got something spectacular planned?"

"Hey, only the best for you, Ms. Michalchuk."

She laughed and stepped onto the porch, closing the door behind her. "Let's go." She took his hand and they walked down the street together.
