Author's Note: sorry for the wait, but here's another chapter! btw, when Alicia was telling TPC who Cam liked, I accidentally said that Kristen was a B+ lister and that's because I changed my mind when writing the next chapter so Kristen is an A-lister!

The Montador

Kristen's Front Door

October 3rd

6:30 p.m.

"He's right on time." Kristen heard Massie's distant voice as she opened the door.

"Here." Cam thrust some roses and chocolate at Kristen, who blushed.

"Thanks." She filled a vase up with water and put the roses inside.

"You look great." Cam said, looking her up and down.

"You do too. Should we go?" Kristen knew that even though she didn't like Cam, he was the nicest boy she had ever met.

Cam led Kristen to a limo that was parked outside. They piled in and talked on the way to the restaurant.

Le Beau

Cam and Kristen's Table

October 3rd

7:00 p.m.

"I'll have the salad and a glass of water." Kristen told the waiter as he jotted it down.

"The Wellington chicken and a coke." Cam said.

After the waiter left, they turned to each other and both blushed. "You blush a lot." Cam commented.

"So do you." She shot back. After she said that, an awkward silence filled the air.

"So… what's up?" Cam made a feeble attempt at making conversation.

"Nothing much. What about you?"

"Not really anything."

Another silence filled the air.

Kristen couldn't take it anymore, and was about to tell him that she didn't like him when her wristlet vibrated. She pulled out her Sidekick III and saw that she had three new text messages. She glanced over at Cam who was also reading text messages.

"I have text messages, so do you mind if I…" Kristen trailed off.

"No. I do too. Ugh, Derrick and Josh. What are they thinking?"

Kristen opened her text messages.

MASSIE: HOW'S THE D8 GOING?

Kristen rolled her eyes and replied.

KRISTEN: AWKWARD, BUT I'M DOING IT 2 TAKE DOWN CLAIRE.

DYLAN: OMG! R U HAVING A GOOD TIME?

KRISTEN: KINDA, BUT I'M DOING IT 2 TAKE DOWN CLAIRE.

ALICIA: HOW'S THE D8 GOING, IF U KNO WAT I MEAN? RAWR!

KRISTEN: I DON'T LIKE HIM! IT'S GOOD, BUT AWKWARD.

Kristen finished texting and turned to Cam again. She opened her mouth, about to tell him she didn't like him, but the waiter swooped in and placed their food in front of them. "Here you are." He said in a French accent.

"Thank you." They both replied.

They ate in silence, occasionally talking about something stupid, like the weather or what they were learning in science. As soon as they were done with their dinner and had paid, they left the restaurant. Cam led Kristen over to a park nearby and they walked around for a while.

They soon grew tired of walking and sat down on a bench. Cam looked into Kristen's eyes and said, "Kristen, I really like you. I'm so glad that you agreed to go on a date with me. You don't know how much this means to me."

Kristen felt a huge bubble of guilt rising and knew that she was about to blurt out that she didn't like him. "Camidontlikeyou!" she exclaimed.

"What?" his eyebrows crinkled as he tried to decipher her jumbled words.

"Uh… nothing." Kristen blushed, afraid of what would happen if she told the truth. "I have to get home. I have studying to do." She made up the first excuse she could think of.

"Oh. Okay. I'll send you home, then." Cam called the limo driver that he had rented and seconds later, they were on their way home. As soon as Cam dropped Kristen off, she felt her Sidekick III vibrate again. She opened it and saw three new text messages.

MASSIE: HOW DID THE D8 GO?

ALICIA: WATS UP W/ THE D8?

DYLAN: D8: GOOD OR BAD?

Kristen replied to all of them at the same time.

KRISTEN: HOLD ON. I'LL CALL U.

Seconds later, she was on a four-way with her eager friends.

"TELL US!" they screamed as soon as she had them all on the phone.

"Okay. This date was soo awkward, it was worse than if you saw your principal and mom making out in front of you." She heard a sharp intake of breath after she said that. "Yeah. And I almost told him I didn't like him, like, ten times. And after dinner, we went for a walk in the park and he told me that he really liked me and this date meant so much to him."

The girls gasped. "Oh my god! That sounds soo bad for you." Dylan exclaimed.

"It was."

"The important thing is, we did it to take down Kuh-laire." Massie said.

"Did you get the picture?" Alicia asked.

"Yes." Kristen replied.

"We are now one step closer to taking down Kuh-laire." Massie said.
