IMPORTANT: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING.

If you didn't read the introduction (first chapter), you should, it's important.

Well, the one vote that I had from the last chapter voted against Emily dating Dan. So here's the next part:

The Strangeness Of Emily

Chapter 20: Some Trouble Part II: Match-maker

Emily decided to reject Dan. She didn't think it was a very good idea, especially because of the fact that she was still with Eric. Not only would her relationship with Eric be ruined, but Dan and Eric's friendship would be ruined as well.

"Nah, I don't really think I should," she said. Dan simply shrugged his shoulders, winked at the girls, and walked away. Everyone thought that that was rather odd. But the group of girls followed his motion to his lunch table with their eyes. They sat silently as they observed him talking to Aaron and Eric about something, but no one could tell exactly what they were discussing, as Dan wouldn't let Eric know that he had just asked out his girlfriend.

Kelly broke the silence. "Oh... Eric is just so fine." Emily, along with the rest of the girls, were in shock. What did she just say? That's EMILY'S BOYFRIEND she was talking about!

"WHAT!" Emily shouted at Kelly.

Kelly broke out of the dream-like trance she was in when staring at Eric. "Huh? Oh my gosh, did I just say that out loud?!"

"Yes, you did." stated Genevieve and Ashley in unison.

"But it's okay, Kelly. Really. He's been rather mean and strange acting lately. Maybe he's starting to like someone else, that's the feeling I've been getting. Like there's another girl on his mind. I was considering breaking it off with him for a while now, now I have a good reason. You know what? I'll get you two together, how brilliant! I'll be your match-maker, I'm trying it whether you like it or not." Emily gave a speech, deep in thought. By the time she finished, her grin resembled the Cheshire Cat's.

"NO! Don't do that! That would be so embarrassing!" Said Kelly.

This didn't discourage Emily one bit. After lunch, she promptly broke up with Eric by his locker. He seemed a bit disappointed, but he wasn't crying or anything. Emily took this as a good sign that he would be just fine and would move on rather quickly, despite their long past together. Later that day, she wrote an anonymous note to Eric to start the match-making.

Dear Idiot: You make me feel so full of contempt. Seriously, every time I see you in World Studies class, I hop. Sometimes, I feel so suicidal. Late at night, I wonder who you like. I bet it's Bethany. I've always wished that it was me, though. See you! –Retard

Pleased with herself, Emily folded the note up and slipped it in his locker when no one was looking. Then she hid and waited for him to go to his locker. When he opened his locker, the note fell out, and he picked it up and read it. His face lit up with surprise.

A few days later, Emily overheard Eric considering asking Kelly out in talking to some of his friends. Apparently that letter had really made him think. She had no idea how they had reached the conclusion that Kelly had written the note, but it was great progress for her scheme. Out of randomness, Emily went up to Eric and gave him a huge hug.

Though her mission was a big success, Emily decided that it would be an even better idea to have Kelly ask Eric out first. It could be a little risky, but she loved taking chances. After explaining what had happened, Emily explained that Kelly needed to ask Eric out first, so they came up with the idea of having Kelly do so at the upcoming pep rally.

After the band's long performance at the pep rally, Kelly managed to find Eric and ask him out. He simply stated, "It's 3:56," which she took to mean "yes". They planned to see Pulse, which was said to be an excellent movie.

When Emily talked to Kelly on the phone after the date, she said that it was a pretty good date overall. But she was rather annoyed by Eric's bad habit, which was biting his nails. This concerned Kelly greatly, as she didn't know if she could put up with being around someone who was constantly doing such a disgusting thing. She asked Emily for her opinion. Should she keep dating Eric or break up with him?
