"Alright so what do we need to buy?" AJ asked as they walked down an aisle at the grocery store.
"Chips, Soda, Candy, Ice Cream, Cake...Anything else?" Emma asked.
"So basically Saturdays plan is to be bouncing off the walls?" AJ teased.
"Saturdays won't be the same without it." Emma said.
"Hey isn't that Brie's sister?" AJ pointed down the aisle.
Emma groaned. "Yeah it is. Just ignore her. She can't do much when she is by herself."
"She doesn't look like she is by herself." AJ said as a guy walked over to her and pecked her on the lips.
"Oh my god!" Emma gasped.
"What? It's probably just her boyfriend." AJ said.
"Are you kidding me!?" Emma almost shouted. She pulled her into another aisle so they wouldn't hear her. "That is John Cena she is with!"
"Ok and who is John Cena?" AJ asked.
"He is one of the most popular guys in school!" Emma said.
"I thought that was Phil?" She remembered.
"He is too but John is a football player too which puts him into a different group of jocks." Emma told her.
"They're two groups of jocks?" AJ asked confused.
"Yes. There is the football players and then there is the more rebellious group."
"Rebellious group?" AJ gave her an odd look.
"Yeah. You know the type. "I don't have to do anything I don't wanna do.' The type that likes to go against the rules." Emma explained.
"Ah gotcha." AJ nodded.
"Anyways that is John Cena she is with!" Emma said again.
"Ok I understand he is 'super popular' and what not but why does it matter that she is with him? Isn't she a prep? It's really not a shock." AJ said.
"Yes it is! Michelle has always had it for John basically since freshman year and if anybody trys to in her words 'Sink their claws into her man' then they would pay. You would be stupid to make that mistake!" Emma said.
"Can Michelle do that?" AJ asked.
"She has the power to. I don't understand why though seeing how she basically wants get in Phil's pants too." Emma said.
"She wants to get with Phil?" AJ asked alarmed.
"Yeah she has been after him for three months now. Basically if there is any living breathing jock around she hasn't been with then she won't leave them alone." Emma saw the look on AJ's face. "We told staying away from him would be good for you. Being with him could just cause trouble sweetie." Emma said sympathetically.
"Yeah I know. You're right Em. Thanks." She forced a light smile.
"Shit they are coming into this aisle!" Emma panicked and pushed her out of the aisle and went back into the other one.
"Is it really a big deal if she sees us?" AJ asked.
"Yes! Then we are going to have to talk to her and she will blackmail us into keeping her dirty little secret!" Emma said.
AJ smirked. "Or...We could blackmail her."
Emma gave her a nervous look. "What are you planning?"
"I say we give the 'preps' a taste of their own medicine." She smirked.
"And how exactly are we going to do that?" Emma asked.
"We threaten to tell Michelle."
"But what would we make her do so she won't tell?" Emma questioned.
"I don't know anything I guess." AJ said. She then saw Emma smirk. "You have an idea don't you?"
"Follow me." Emma said going into the aisle John and Nikki were in. "Oh hey guys funny seeing you here." She said keeping her smirk on her face.
"What do you want!?" Nikki asked alarmed.
"Nikki relax we just want to talk to you for a minute." Emma said as they went down the aisle a bit. "So what's up with you and Cena?"
"I don't see how that is any of your business." Nikki folded her arms.
"It kind of is when we see you making out near the chips." AJ said.
"Why do you losers care!?" Nikki asked annoyed.
"Oh we don't...but we might know someone who will." Emma said. Nikki face fell when it clicked in her head.
"You wouldn't dare tell Michelle. If you two want to stay at loser level that is fine but I could break you." Nikki warned.
"Uh uh that isn't going to work Nicole. You see we are going to tell Michelle and then she is going to break y-o-u." Emma spelled out poking her shoulder on the U. "You wouldn't have the power to do anything to us because you would be below 'loser level.' "
"What do you want?" Nikki sighed. "What do I have to do to make sure this stays between us?"
"Hm.." Emma pretended to think. "AJ got any ideas?"
"None that come to mind Em." AJ said actually thinking about it.
"Oh I know!" Emma said. "You could switch places with Brie for two weeks!"
AJ and Nikki both looked at her like she was insane. "There is no way I am doing that!" Nikki said.
"Oh ok then maybe we should go to Michelles house after this Em? I mean it is on the way so it would save us having to wait until tomorrow..." AJ said.
"Ugh! Fine you little freaks we will switch! Happy now!?" Nikki shouted.
"Very." Emma smirked. "Two weeks starting Monday. Deal?" She asked holding her hand out for a shake.
"I'm not touching your disgusting hand." Nikki said in disgust.
"Hey AJ you know I think I have Michelles number in my phone. We could just call her." Emma lied.
"You two are pathetic." Nikki said shaking her hand. "Now if you will excuse me I have to go buy disinfectant for my hand!" She said walking away.
"Where did you come up with the idea to have them switch?" AJ asked.
"I think we could take down the preps and there little 'popular society' for good. This is our way to put an end to this." Emma said. "Now lets go buy some pretzels." She led AJ away.

The next day AJ was at her locker and she shut her locker and there leaning against the lockers again was Phil.
"Do you do this for a living or something?" She asked.
"I would if it paid alot." He shrugged.
"So whats up?" She asked.
"Just felt like talking to you." He said.
"Really?" She asked. "And why would you want to talk to your sisters nerdy friend?"
"Your not bad." He said.
"Wow thanks for that compliment. It's nice to know I'm 'not bad'." She joked.
"You know what I mean." He said. "So I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime?"
"You want to hang out with me?" She asked and he nodded. "You do realize how unlikely that is right?"
"I don't care if we are in the same social group AJ. You seem like a cool girl and I want to get to know you." He said simply.
"Phil we can't." She said.
"Why not!? Who cares what other people think?" He said.
"It's not just about that. I am friends with your sister and she told me alot about you. I know your relationship history." She explained.
"So she told you I haven't had a girlfriend since seventh grade? Why is that a big deal?" He asked.
"She also told me about all the women you have hooked up with. I can't be a number on your list." She said.
"Lets hang out as just friends then?" He asked.
"I'm not going to risk it Phil. That will throw me into trouble with Michelle and I'm not going to betray Paige. I'm sorry but the answer is no." She said before walking away and he suddenly had a case of Déjà vu.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Why did you tell April about my history with women?" Punk asked Paige as he entered the kitchen.
"To make sure she doesn't fall into your trap." Paige said. "I'm not going to let you use my friend for your urges. Are you forgetting we had a deal about no trying to hook up with my friends?"
"I remember that deal and I haven't broken it. I just wanted to hang out with her as friends and now she won't even give me a chance to be her friend!"
"Why do you even want to be her friend so bad anyway?" Paige asked. "You never want to be friends with my friends because 'it will make you look bad.' "
"She's different Paige."
"What are you trying to say? Are you saying you have a crush on my friend?" He didn't say anything. "No you don't. Your not even capable of having a crush! You just want sex!"
"It's different with her!" He said. "With her I feel like I can just hang out with her and not feel the need to have sex with her. We can just talk and play video games and read comic books."
Paige listened to everything he just said. "Oh my god. You have a crush on my friend?"
"I thought we already figured that out Paige." He sighed in frustration.
"Yes but I didn't know it was possible." She said. "My brother is growing up!" She threw her arms around him and hugged him tight.
"I'm older then you!" He said. "This hurts!"
"Sorry I just can't help it." Paige said letting go.
"So will you help me with AJ?" He asked hopeful.
She frowned. "I still can't do that Phil. You could still hurt my friend. Besides you don't even know how to have a meaningful relationship."
"Like you know more then me?" He said. "You haven't had that many relationships Paige."
"Thats because you are a hardass." She said. "And so am I. You aren't dating my friend."
"At least talk her into being friends with me. It's because of you she wants nothing to do with me." He said.
"Why so you will suffer? Your feelings will get stronger and it will hurt. Not to mention the fact that it would throw AJ into Michelle's line of fire. It's a bad idea Phil." She said. "I'm sorry she left the kitchen and went upstairs.
