I was sitting on my own at the local pizzeria, where a lot of the Illyria students went to. I had a pizza in front of me, I was too nervous to eat anything. The plan that Paul had concocted was a little crazy and extravagant but Yvonne and Kia had persuaded me that it would totally work to win the guys over. Kia added, and I quote 'The girls will be totally all over you too.'

The guys of the team were sitting at another table, messing about and generally be raucous. They looked like they were having fun, some of the flicked glances at me and gave me small smiles of acknowledgement but nothing else transpired.

Then Kia arrived. Kia was wearing a short skirt and a white t-shirt, she was very hot and every male eye in the room was looking at her. This made me smile slightly as the guys with girlfriends nudged the boyfriends to take their attention away from the gorgeous brunette. Other girls in the room were staring at her grudgingly and looking very jealous. Kia certainly got the attention of the Duke, Toby, Andrew and the rest of the guys, as they followed her movements towards me when I saw the look of surprise on some of their faces I almost laughed.

'Heya babe.' Kia said, kissing me on the cheek and sat opposite me.

'Hey.' I said, trying to act natural.

Kia and I then spent an hour together, pretending we were on a date. Kia flirted outrageously, running her foot up and down my leg which was nice and definitely the guys on the other side of the room noticed as well. Their faces were obviously disbelieving. At the end of the 'date' I walked Kia to her car, which was just outside the guy's window so they saw everything and they were most definitely watching. I pushed Kia against the car, I gave her a smile and then went in for the kiss. It was nice kiss and it would have gone longer if I hadn't pushed Kia slightly away from me. Kia laughed and then got into the car, driving off.

I went back into the restaurant, pretending I had forgotten something. As I passed the guy's table on the way out, they stopped me.

'Hey Sebastian, who was the chick?' Gavin asked, looking out the window as if he expected to see Kia again.

'Just someone I'm dating.' I said, off-handily.

'She is a good-looking girl.' Philip said, nodding in approval. 'Where did you find her?'

I was just about to answer, when the second part of our plan walked in. Yvonne was dressed in a dress, and was looking sexy as hell. The same reaction to Kia, happened with Yvonne. The guys looked so surprised when she walked straight up to me.

'Heya Sebastian.' Yvonne said, pushing me against the booth. 'I haven't seen you in ages. When can I see you again?'

'I'm a little busy today.' I said, with a kiss on her cheek. 'I'll call you.'

'You better.' Yvonne said, she then landed a wet one on me which got the guy whooping.

Yvonne walked out, swaying her hips. I caught Gavin staring, so I smacked his arm and gave him a glare which he responded with a smile.

'Come you can't have two gorgeous girls.' Gavin said, 'Chose one and I'll have the other.'

'Fuck off, if anyone's having the other it will be me.' Philip said.

'You're the man.' Duke said, shaking his head in disbelief. 'Two gorgeous girls, after you. Any other girls you're hiding?'

'Maybe.' I said, with a grin. 'I'm keeping my options open.'

The guys laughed, I knew at that moment that by playing some sort of Romeo had brought me into their group.

'Pull a chair up for the man.' Toby said.

I laughed, and that Saturday I spent the rest of the afternoon with the guys. Talking about football, school and girls. Mostly girls. They were trying to get me tell them how I was so lucky. I smirked and said 'If I told you, I would have to kill you.' That afternoon really brought us all together, and I knew then that we were no longer just teammates but now friends.
