While walking along the hallway Carl spots Stanley strolling by. "Time to put my personality to good use!" He runs up to him. "Yo, Stanley!"
"Oh! Sorry. I didn't get your name," said Stanley.
"Name's Carl Casagrande, and I want to ask you something you may feel uncomfortable answering."
"Casagrande, huh? That's an interesting name. Doesn't it mean 'large house' in Spanish?"
"It does, but we're getting off topic. I was wondering if you have a crush on a certain girl."
"Well yeah…" Stanley admits.
"What's her name?"
"Jane."
Carl's heart almost jumps out of his chest. "JANE FITZGERALD?!"
"Why yes of course, but I don't think she likes me back."
"Don't say that!" Carl pats him in the back. "I'm sure Jane will like you!"
"Okay then. Do I have to act smooth? Do I have to have minty breath? Gimme some tips! Come on, come on, come on!" Stanley begs.
"Chill out. Of course I'm gonna give you some tips. You're talking to a lady's man!"
"Not!" The kids shout before laughing mockingly.
"Ignore them." Carl rolls his eyes. "They're idiots. Anyway, here's the queso: one, you must dress and act like a gentleman. There's no way a girl would fall for a guy who looks dirty or acts rude towards her. Well, except for Jackie and Gus. I'm surprised they're still together."
"Anything else?" asked Stanley.
"Sing a girl a song. Which girl wouldn't like a song just for her?"
"Okay then."
"One question though: do you know how to sing?"
"Does this answer your question?" Stanley clears his throat and starts singing, " Christmas, Christmas, Christmas time is near! Time for toys and time for cheer! "
"Uh… Christmas has already passed," Carl points out.
"I know. It was just an example," Stanley informs.
"Oh, but try to think of a more romantic song. You know, like mariachi!"
"Come on! Jane will love it!"
"Could you at least give me an example of a love song?"
"Um, okay." Carl clears his throat and then sings this: (YouTube Video - ID ETLoTxVVvjM)
"Oh okay! How about this!" Stanley dings the following song: (YouTube Video - ID dQw4w9WgXcQ)
"That's a good one!" Carl compliments. "Come on! Let's take you to Jane before lunch is over!"
"Alright!"
The boys then run towards the cafeteria room.
"I hope my plan works," Carl says quietly to himself.
