A is the schools strangest playboy, she could have all the girls if she wanted to, all her guy friends think that she's a guy too, she flirts with everyone because she likes to mess with them, she has told her guy friends about guys she thought were cute but never told them she was a girl so they know she's bisexual, the only other guy who she has to compete with is Carter Kane the playboy who does his homework and gets straight A's. A never planned to go to the fall dance but then she made a stupid bet and went to the dance dressed like she was actually a girl, and she gets caught up in a game with him and whoever falls for the other first, loses.

The fall dance was two weeks away and I was hanging out with some of my friends. We were playing truth or dare Rachel had taken dare and now she had to drink four shots of lemon juice without puckering up. I said, "I bet 'cha she can't do it," I say to Annabeth.

"Really A?" she says raising an eyebrow. "If she can you have to go the fall dance in a dress makeup and high heels,"

Even I couldn't do that so I say, "You're on, and if I'm right you have to ask John to go with you,"

She just grins, "Everybody, A has agreed to go to the fall dance in a dress and makeup if Rachel can drink all that and if she can't I'll be asking John to go with me. You all heard it so now we can't back out, go ahead Rachel,"

I swear that game was rigged; Rachel drank all the lemon juice then smiled and asked for more. That is how I got here, Piper putting makeup on my face and Annabeth brushing my short hair. If I look out of the corner of my eye I can see the dress they picked out for me, it's a sea green strapless dress that's much too short for my liking under it sit a pair of high heels that look more like touchier devices than shoes. By the way I've never worn high heels or makeup in my life and I haven't worn a dress sense I was two which doesn't count.

When they are done with my face they send me into the bathroom to put on the dress when I come out they have covered all the mirrors in my room I only have one but they all have little hand mirrors that they brought and Pipers makeup kit has a big one on the top of the case.

"Really you guys," I say exasperated.

They all turn around and gasp.

I grin, "Come on guys, I can't look that bad," I say.

Thalia shakes her head, "You're gorgeous!"

"You don't need to pretend I look good you can tell me how I actually look," completely convinced that I looked like a guy in a dress and makeup.

Rachel goes over to the full length mirror that I keep in the corner and flips it over, I usually just look at it when I'm working out 'cause it's nice to look in the mirror and say 'Hay I've got a better abs than half the guys on the football team.'

When I see my reflection I don't see a person who could fight a football player, I see a girl who could make the whole football team come over and try to get her to dance with them. They made my usually unruly short black hair sit flat and look girly, Piper made my eyes pop and brought out my sharp features that usually made me look even more like a guy look beautiful like a statues. The dress matches my eyes.

"Well, I think we should add one more bit to A's sentence," says Rachel. I'm hoping it's that any guy who flirts with me gets kicked in his soft spot, of course I'm wrong. "A has to dance with at least one guy who she did not make dance with her on pain of death,"

Everyone but me thinks this is a great idea. Then we're off to the dance, Annabeth drives because I was right about the shoes.

When we get to school the first person I see is Carter Kane captain of the basketball team, Quarterback, and captain of the wrestling team. I don't see how he could be that important but a quick intro, Carter flirts with every girl he sees, like me but more annoyingly 'cause he's smart, and the only reason I got out of this treatment was that Carter has been in my class sense the fifth grade and he still doesn't know that I'm a girl.

When we walk in all the guys in the room, who don't have dates, and some who do, turn to stare at me.

The first guy to come up and say hi is Tim; he's tall with blond hair and blue eyes. He's not that good with girls but he wants to dance with me and I figure it would be good to get that part of the night over with so I talk with him until the next slow song and we dance, Tim thinks I'm just a friend of Thalia's from out of town or a new kid and I let him think that, we're friends and I don't want to ruin it by letting him know I'm a girl, yes my guy friends are under the impression that I'm a guy. When the dance was over all I could think about was that my feet were going to fall off and that I was going to have the house all to myself over the weekend because my mom and her boyfriend were going out of town.

That led to me not looking where I was stepping and slipping on a pool of spilled lemonade. If I was in practical shoes I would have been able to catch me self but the heels had zero traction and the floor came rushing up at my face and I closed my eyes. But instead of hitting the floor I felt someone catch me.

I muttered, "Thanks," and looked up to see who had caught me, if it had been any other guy so long as they didn't know it was me I would have been fine, but when I looked up I saw a row of perfect white teeth on a cocoa brown face with light brown eyes and a smile that said I caught you and saved you from ruining your pretty dress you should thank me by going out with me. In other words I had been caught by none other than Carter Kane.

He let me go and I ran off to find my friends, but I couldn't find them so I leaned up against the wall of the gym to wait until one of them showed up. After a while I got out my phone and started to play a game. When I looked up I saw Carter in front of me, he was in slacks and a white dress shirt like all the other guys but he had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves to his elbows.

"Hay," he said in a smooth voice, "Who are you? How did a pretty girl like you wind up without a date?"

"Maybe I've forsworn the company of men," I snap. He just looks confused, that was a first, "That means that I've said that I'll never date. Or maybe I just don't have a date cause only idiots like you are stupid enough to ask."

"Do I know you?" he asks.

"I should hope so we've been in the same class sense the fifth grade."

"The only person who's been in my class that long is A Jackson and he is a dude." he has boxed me in with his arms and I figure I should probably duck under one and get out but I want to see the look on his face when he realizes who I am.

"Really and what is his full name?"

He looks stumped, "Um, I think it's Andrew, whenever the teacher is first calling role they say Andr- and he cuts them off"

"In the fifth grade when we were first in class together you said 'Hay want to hang with the cool kids,' and he gave you a black eye and said 'no thanks, with a grin."

He stares at me with his mouth open so I think this might be a good time to run but he takes a steep closer to me and I freak out. I don't think about it I ball my fist and hit him in the stomach. I groan and rub my fingers, he, of course, has rock hard abs, like me.

He grins and says, "Ow," sarcastically.

Then I'm pinned up against the wall after a 250lb football player slips and slams into Carter. Carter now has his forearms on the wall behind me and says, "So you're a girl and you're actually hot, you might be attractive if you had more than ten brain cells," I really want to punch him again.

One of his arms moves from its place on the wall and I think it might be a good time to run but after I scan the room for help and look back I see that he's on his phone, and I just stand there staring at him, even I don't text when I'm talking to someone, other than teachers and my parents but they don't count.

He backs and says, "See you around Jackson," he's half way to the drinks table when he turns and yells, "Catch!" and throws my phone at me.

He's put his number into it and left me a message. We're both players so let's see who's better once and for all. Whoever gets the other to fall for them first is the better player and if I win the whole school finds out your little secret. I knew that I shouldn't play but I wanted to know who was better so I texted him back.

You're going down Kane.
