"Oh no, uh uh, no way Tommy," Lil stated as she backed away from him.

Tommy signed in frustration; first he had to stay after school for Lil's soccer practice to finish and now, she was being difficult!

"C'mon Lil, its not like it would be real, just pretend to go out with me, so Kimi would get jealous and dump Sean to win me over! Its not like I'm asking you to sleep with me, just to pretend to date me. Please! Lil can't you do that for me, remember when those jocks were calling you a boy and other such-related names? Who helped you out? Even though it could've meant to lose them as my friends and be the new target of their jokes," Tommy knew he had her now, "Lil can't you just do this single favor for me, and plus wouldn't you want to help your friend Kimi out, she likes me and you know it!"

"Phil told you, didn't he?" she grumbled.

"Yea, but that's not the point, Lil please help out a friend in need," Tommy begged.

Lil signed, "I have a feeling I'm going to regret this later…but I'll do it,"

Tommy's face lit up in delight as he gathered her in a bear hug, "Oh thank you, thank you, and Lil you rock!"

Lil smiled, "Yea, I know,"

Tommy thanked her again before leaving her with her other friends as he ran home to plan some things out. Tommy ran straight to his room and took out a picture from his top drawer in his desk. The picture was of him, Phil, Lil, and Kimi. He looked at the picture and smiled; in the picture Phil had bunny ears behind Lil's head, while his arm was slung casually on Lil's shoulder, while his head was turned to look at Kimi who was laughing at the dopey smile Phil had plastered on his face.

Tommy smiled as he studied Kimi. She was always so damn beautiful, the way she held herself, the way she smiled, everything!

Tommy laid on his bed as he drifted off to a daydream in which him and Kimi were going out…

Lil groaned as she finally got home, she had to walk all the way home from school because Phil 'forgot' to tell her mum that she was going to be late and to pick her up at an exact time.

She grumbled as she threw her bag on the floor in her room and jumped on the bed. She had a big headache and knew whatever Tommy was going to plan wasn't going to be easy, or fun.

'Why did she have to do that! What if Kimi gets really mad at her at the thought of her dating Tommy?' Plus, her dating Tommy is so wrong. Everyone's going to joke about it, because no one will know that there just acting.

She could just hear it now, 'Tommy –the most popular guy/ football quarterback, is dating Lil –the biggest tomboy ever! Both, who had always refused any date offers coming there way, have finally found love in each other!'

Lil moaned, there going to be laughed at! Why did she have to say yes? With that miserable thought she drifted off to sleep.

Lil woke up the next morning to hear her phone ringing on her bedside, "what the heck," she grumbled as she sluggishly put the phone to her ear.

"Mmmhmmm," she mumbled.

"Hey Lil, rise an' shine," she heard Tommy's voice greet. Lil moaned, as Tommy continued, "Lil get up and get dressed, I'm coming to pick you up in 10 minutes,"

"What? Why?"

"Because you're my girlfriend and that's what a boyfriend does, anyways get ready, I'm on my way,"

Lil got up and was about to fish out her sweatshirt when she decided against it. 'Lil if you don't want to be laughed at, at least don't dress that bad.' Lil crouched down and took a box out from under her bed; in it was an outfit Kimi had gotten her for her 17th birthday.

'I can't believe I'm actually going to wear this, no one better make fun of me,'

She opened it to see the cute light blue tank top with the baby pink skirt that went up to her knees. Lil put it on and looked at herself, she fidgeted around with it by pulling the hem of the tank top and skirt, trying to make it longer. That's when Lil's mum, Betty, barged in, "Lil, Tommy's waiting for you out-..."

"Whoa Lil, you look good,"

Lil smiled nervously.

Her mum advanced, "here let me do your hair for you,"

Betty took her hair and combed through it, finally deciding on a high ponytail. "Hold up Lil," she said as she hurried out of the room, a moment later she returned with a little box.

"What's that?"

"You'll see," Betty smiled, as she took out a couple of butterfly clips from the box. They were all bright coulors. Betty clipped them on her head.

"Mum isn't this a bit much?" Lil asked uncomfortably. She had never seen herself like this; she looked …pretty.

"Nah, now get out there to Tommy. You never told me you two were going out,"

"He told you that!"

"Yea, and I think that is so cute. I always thought you two would be really cute together,"

"Mum," Lil groaned as she picked up her bag and ran down the stairs. She opened the door and walked to Tommy's car, she could see Tommy's mouth drop the second he saw her. Lil smiled at him nervously.

"Wow Lil, you look …really good,"

Lil thanked him as she sat in the car, the whole way Tommy explained to her what he had planned for them. But Lil was confused when she noticed him glancing at her numerous times that car ride.

Lil signed, 'Today's going to be a long day!'

A/N well, what do you guys think…R&R
