I've been getting a few comments on the title of my fic. I am aware that there is another fic out there with the same name under the M category, but it's complete and shouldn't be an issue with mine when trying to find mine.

Chapter 2 – Phase 1 and 2

Spencer's POV

I met Aiden shortly after Ashley drove us to school the next day in the computer lab. When I got there, he had already written out an email that I was supposed to send to Kyla. I read it slowly to myself.

Kyla,

Saw you in the hall today with your stuck up friends.

Noticed you had a new pair of jeans on, they made your ass look big.

Maybe you should talk to me before you buy anymore new pants.

I can help.

Spencer.

"They made your ass look big? I can't say that to her!" I yelled, pointing at the computer screen.

"You just did." Aiden replied, hitting the send button on the email.

"WHAT?" I yelled, playing with the mouse of the computer frantically.

"Listen, this is Kyla Woods, everyone wants to be nice to her. You have to stand out."

"Stand out by being mean to her, that's your big plan?"

"Brilliant, I know." Aiden replied smugly as he stretched his arm muscles above his head, over accentuating his muscles.

"I sent Ashley lyrics to a song you allegedly wrote, and you send Kyla hate mail..."

"Trust, my friend. Trust." Aiden said, patting me on my back before logging off the computer.

I wasn't completely for the whole 'be mean' plan, but I went along with it since it was Aiden and I assumed he knew what he was doing. Either way, it would be more interactive with Kyla than I would have with my own efforts. As we left the computer lab, we were met by a bunch of his friends.

"Hey Aid, who's your new friend?" Jake asked coming up and giving Aiden props to say hello and then gestured towards me.

"This is Spencer."

"Spencer? Right, I think I've seen you around." Jake said, scanning me up and down with his eyes, completely unaware that I was noticing. "So are you going to be at the party tonight?" He asked, his eyes finally coming above my head, only to be replaced by an evil smile on his face.

"Yes... tonight, party at Kyla's." Aiden blurted out before I could answer. "Bring someone." He whispers into my ear as he and his friends started to walk away.

---------------------------------------

Ashley and I arrived at Kyla's a little after nine at night. Aiden had texted me the address earlier today and felt the need to clarify when he told me to bring someone, he meant Ashley... because I'm a moron and didn't get that when he said it.

"I can't believe you dragged me to this... the things I do for you." Ashley whined, shaking her head as we got out of my car and she took a look at the huge house. "Entering the den of the beast..."

"I'm sorry, wasn't it you who told me I need to make a move on Kyla already?" I hissed, grabbing her arm and looping mine around hers. "I dragged you here for moral support. Plus it's a party, you should be able to enjoy yourself, Ash."

"Fine... consider me your Goose to your Maverick for the night."

"I knew I shouldn't have made you watch Top Gun this summer..." I laughed and leaned my head against her shoulder as we walked into the house.

As soon as we made our way inside, people started greeting me all around. I guess being seen hanging around Aiden had its advantages. Jake made his way up the stairs in quite a hurry when he heard my name being called by all these random people around me.

"Spencer! You made it, and you brought..." His eyes widened as he looked at the brunette that was on my arm. "...Ashley Davies. Nice."

"Well, can I get you ladies some drinks?" He asked, looking us both up and down while licking his lips.

Before we could answer he snapped both his fingers, just to be instantly met with two fresh cups of beer. "Here you are ladies..."

"Thanks Jake. Hey, have you seen Aiden or Kyla around?" I asked, taking both the cups and handing one to Ashley.

"Both by the pool I think." Jake answered, pointing us towards the way to the pool before he saw a hot blonde and bailed out on us.

As we made our way out to the pool, Kyla was surrounding by a large group of people while Aiden was sitting at the table with a select few.

"I'm going to go try talking to Kyla. Are you going to be alright to mingle?" I asked, letting go of her arm and distancing ourselves from each other as I slowly made my way over towards Aiden.

"Of course, I'm not some social mute. I'll be inside if you need me." Ashley answered before making her way back inside to where the music was playing.

I made my way over to the table and nodded at Aiden, who in return got up and walked over to me, throwing his arm around my shoulders loosely when he got close enough.

"Hey, you came, excellent. Tonight is phase two in getting Kyla. Time to get you noticed. Come on..." Aiden said, while we began walking towards Kyla.

"Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Are you kidding me? Kyla asked like ten times today about whether the email girl was right about her ass in those jeans." Aiden replied, laughing.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, everyone loves an asshole, it makes good sexual tension. Now come on." He assured me as we continued to walk towards Kyla.

"Hold up." He blurted out, grabbing my hand and turning me around so that my back was to Kyla's, literally.

"What?" I asked.

"Alright, so here's what you're going to do..." Aiden whispered into my ear as I held my cup slightly over my shoulder so he didn't knock it into me. The last thing I wanted all over me tonight was beer. I waited for him to say something afterwards, but all he did was stay by my ear and without me able react fast enough to do anything, he flipped my cup backwards behind me, landing all over Kyla.

Oh shit.

"Oh shit." I whispered, not wanting to turn around.

"WHAT THE HELL?" She yelled, turning around, and rubbing the back of her hair, feeling sticky beer all over it before flicking her hands in the air getting the excess liquid off. "Uh ew."

"Kyla... I'm so sor--" I tried to say before Aiden nudged me forward, resulting in me knocking Kyla into the pool.

OH SHIT.

I look behind me to see Aiden there laughing and then mouthing, "Phase two." I turn back to the pool where Kyla has come up to the surface, looking more pissed off than before.

"WHAT THE FUCK? You asshole!" She screamed so loud it pierced your eardrum and then smacked her hands against the water, making another loud noise.

"Now you're in the game." Aiden whispered, shaking my shoulder lightly before taking a sip of his beer and walking away into the house.

I stood there with my eyes wide open as Kyla got out of the pool. "Shit, I'm sorry Kyla... uh I'm Spencer, did you get my email?"

"That was you? You really are an asshole." She snapped and glared at me before walking into the house herself.

Great, now she hates me.

---------------------------------------

Aiden's POV

After leaving Spencer outside with Kyla, I found my way inside to put my plan into motion, get Ashley. I spotted her quickly on the couch by herself, but before I headed over there I grabbed two more drinks, one for me and the other for her.

"Hey Ashley."

"Aiden." She mumbled, looking down at the ground as I took a seat on the couch with her.

"Did you get my email?" I asked, scooting closer to her on the couch so I was sitting right beside her and handing her another drink.

"Lyrics... yeah wow, I didn't think you were into that kind of stuff." She replied, looking up and glancing at me.

"You liked it huh? Well, I like keep some things up my sleeves for special occasions." I said cockily, biting my lip and tucking a loose strand of hand behind her ear and grazing it with my fingers before she pulled her face away.

"Yeah, well thanks for the drink." She said before getting up and walking away from me, causing people around me to snicker at me being shot down again.

"You got to be kidding me..." I whispered under my breath as I saw Spencer heading back over this way, not looking too happy.

"Hey Aiden, I didn't get to thank you for earlier... for helping me with Kyla, now she hates me, so thanks." She shouted, standing slightly in front of me.

"Well it's not like Ashley is digging me either. Did you see what just happened? People just saw that... I have a reputation to uphold." I answered, getting up from the couch and walking over to her.

"Aiden, you're too cocky, I saw you all over her. It doesn't matter what I write, Ashley's not going to fall for that stuff."

"Help me out then! And as for Kyla, you're on her radar now, so just give it time. Remember, chicks love assholes."

"Even if I am on her radar, I don't want to be mean to her."

"Right, because she's been so sweet to you over the years. Trust me, if you want Kyla, this is the way to do it."

"Alright, fine...I'll talk to Ashley. You better be right about this Kyla thing."

"How many girls like Kyla Woods have you dated?" I asked rhetorically. "Exactly... now trust me and go get me Ashley."

---------------------------------------

Spencer's POV

I left Aiden and went around the house in search for Ashley. I ran into Jake who told me that she saw her leaving a bit earlier so I left Kyla's house and walked back to Ashley's.

Knock knock.

"Hey, why'd you bail on the party tonight?" I asked, making my way into her house and closing the front door behind me as the brunette stood in the doorway, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"I don't know, I guess I had better things to do... like sleep." She replied, making me glance down at her attire.

She was wearing a tightly fitted tank top with short boy shorts that made her legs look really long and smooth. Not that I noticed or anything... but it was definitely sleep attire for Ashley, which is my point.

"Ashley..." I said, shaking my head at the girl as we walked upstairs to her bedroom.

"What? That's not our world, Spencer, you can't just expect me to go to one of those parties with you and fit in with those people. I mean yeah, I can fit in for a while, but not the whole night."

"Speaking of those people, I talked to Aiden Dennison tonight."

"That must've been fun." Ashley replied sarcastically and rolling her eyes at the comment.

"You know, it was. He's actually a nice guy once you get past all the jock stuff. You should give him a shot."

"I don't know, it's Aiden... he sent me this email earlier today." Ashley said in a stale tone and rolled her eyes.

"And you didn't like i-- I mean er... did you respond back?"

"No!" She laughed, "It's Aiden, come on."

"Come on what? You haven't been out on a date in a while, and Aiden really likes you. If you aren't sure send him that stupid soul quiz thing you send guys and see if he passes it." I said while Ashley made her way to her bed and laid down.

"Why are you pushing this so much?"

"You're my best friend, Ash, I just want to see you happy. And with prom coming up, this might give us both a chance to get real dates, not that I don't mind going with you."

"Fine... I'll send him the quiz."
