So, the ball.
Well, it went quite well, my plan to get Lily and James to vaguely like each other worked.
But I did only say 'vaguely like each other' and that's quite different from 'going out' which was my aim.
But luckily, making them vaguely like each other gave me another last chance.
How did I get them to vaguely like each other?
Well, Lily started to vaguely like James at about the same time as he rescued her from drowning in the giant fruit punch fountain.
Yes, it's a long story.
Well, me and Lily were getting ready for the ball when the guests started arriving. We started panicking and getting ready even faster so that neither Lily or I noticed the huge splodge of lipstick on Lily's cheek.
Cue James trying to get rid of it.
With his mouth.
Next to the punch fountain.
Lily, trying to escape, tried to step backwards, unfortunately not realising that there was no backwards.
So she toppled backwards into the fountain.
Luckily James was there.
He waded in and rescued Lily.
She was very grateful. She even seemed to forget about the fact that it was James' fault that she fell in there in the first place.
So they became vaguely friendly towards one another.
So I though that I could get away with inviting James to my birthday party so that he could flirt some more with Lily.
I had one week left until what would be my last chance to see Lily and James in the same place (and try and get them to go out with each other) if my plan didn't work.
And this time it actually would be my last chance.
So what do you think?
Review please!
