Chapter 3
The next day at school Regina came up to us first thing," I've devised a plan to get back at Cady!"
"what?" Chelsea and I said together shocked.
"one of you two have to go out with Aaron Samuels!"
"which is…?" I asked.
"her boyfriend, duh Katherine!" said Regina laughing.
"right…" said Chelsea.
"so which one of you wants to do it?" asked Regina.
"NOT ME!" we said at the same time.
"awwwww, c'mon guys!" said Regina.
"we don't even know who he is for starters" I said.
"why don't you make him hate her, make her friends hate her, and make her lose weight so she can't join the soccer team like she's been wanting to?" proposed Chelsea.
"that plan sounds strangely familiar somehow…. But anyways, I think one of you should help me out so think about it okay, bye!" at that Regina walked off.
We saw Karen sitting alone daydreaming off into space, so we walked over.
"hey Karen!" I said.
"oh hey guys…….." she said dreamily.
"whats up?" said Chelsea.
"okay swear you won't tell Cady?" asked Karen.
"yah" we said at the same time.
"okay well -- incoming" just as she was about to tell us Cady walked up.
"hi guys!" said Cady
"hey" we all said.
"what are you gals talking about?" asked Cady.
"oh nuthin' much" said Karen.
"okay well I feel really bad about kissing Shane so I don't think Regina will even talk to me so can one of you tell her I'm really sorry about it and that he really kissed me," I didn't believe it for a minute and neither did Chelsea or Karen," and that I hope there are no hard feelings"
"we will" I said grabbing Chelsea's arm.
"okay thanks!"
Gretchen stepped out of her limo and waved, she hurried toward us.
"hey Gretch" said Cady.
Gretchen gave her a weak smile, and ignored her," hey Karen, Katherine, and Chelsea. Where's Regina?"
"she went inside," Chelsea and I said at the same time.
"oh Gretchen you missed my sorry speech, but I don't think Regina will listen to me so I asked Katherine and Chelsea to apologize for me," said Cady.
Gretchen stared at us wide-eyed," Katherine, Chelsea, I need to talk to you alone".
She pulled us aside," do you know about Regina's plot?"
"yes"
"does Karen?"
"not yet"
"do you know Karen's secret?"
"no"
"she told me last night and after knowing the plan I think you need to know too"
"she was about to tell us" said Chelsea.
"Karen likes Aaron Samuels" said Gretchen.
"OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"were you going to give Cady's apology to Regina?" asked Gretchen.
"we were going to tell her that she said she was sorry and that Shane kissed her not her him and that she was most likely lying and now that we know Karen's secret Karen can go out with Aaron instead of one of us!" I said in one long breath very quickly.
The bell rang for class and we had math first, great. We liked math, just not the teacher, Mrs. Whitley. After math we had computer with Coach Johnson, he is Scottish and says 'what not' waaay toooo much. After that, Art, we made collages with magazine cut-outs, tissue paper, construction paper, sharpies, macaroni noodles, and glitter. Then was lunch.
We asked Regina to the bathroom and told her everything except for the thing with Karen.
"how could she say something like that! Shane would never cheat on me!" she started to tear up.
"don't cry Regina, she's just a bad person" I said.
"I'll get her," Regina got up and walked towards the door.
"wait Regina, you haven't heard the good part" I said.
"what?"
"Karen has a crush on Aaron" said Chelsea," so she can go out with him"
"Really? Oh you guys are the best!" she embraced us in a group hug.
"now let's get you cleaned up"
When we left the bathroom and went to the cafeteria, we got our lunches and the three of us went to sit.
I asked Gretchen if she had told Karen about the plan. She had so we were good. Everyone just pretended nothing was wrong.
