Acer's POV

(Monday at school)

So, I washed the stain out of my clothes. No biggie, it only cost me 20 zeni. Anyway, I could tell that Jessica was being serious about seriously loving me….. seriously. She just had terrible ideas. But she seriously needs to understand that I'm serious about her seriously getting over me….. seriously. And I'm not trying to be funny with all the serious words, I'm being serious. Gah!

"Acer! I need your help." Rananto said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Remember the movies we went to on Friday?"

"Yes…"

"Andrea never talked to me ever since."

"I'm sure she's still angry."

"No… every time I try to talk to her, she roll her eyes at me then walks away."

"I don't know how to help you there bro."

Then, that girl who spilled her drink all over Rananto and Andrea, came over. Turns out her name is 'Brooke'.

"Hey, cutie pie. What's up?" Brooke asked. This made Rananto angry, and he laughed at her. Brook had a black eye.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hehe…" Rananto laughed.

"Oh, this? It should be cleared in a couple of days." Brooke said, but she still did look pretty. I don't know why Rananto was laughing anyway, it's a little black eye.

"So, wanna go on a date?" Brooke asked. Either she had brain damage when she hit the seat after she got punched, or she was crazy.

"First of all, you stained my clothes and it cost me 20 zeni…" Rananto said.

Wow, Rananto too?

"Second of all, I think I'm already dating Andrea."

"You think?" Brooke said. "So, is that a yes?"

Rananto looked at me like I should do something. I wanted to stay out of this.

"Actually, the answer is…" Before Rananto could even say 'No', he was interrupted by Brooke and she said "Yes?! OMG! So you can pick me up at my house at 7:00 and you can plan everything," she said. Then she kissed Rananto on the cheek then walking away trying to keep her cool, but I can tell she was jumping around in joy inside of her.

"I was going to say no" Rananto stated.

"She probably knew you was going to say no, so she quickly said everything and walked away before you could say no."

"Darn. That is a pretty good strategy, to be honest"

"Yeah, but you can always go on the date and tell her you're not…. Uh oh…." I looked at Andrea, who was standing at the corner of the wall and saw everything. Then she walked away in disgust.

"What?" Rananto said.

"Umm, Andrea saw everything that just happened."

"OH NO!"

"Rananto, chill out! I should've helped you with Brooke, and I feel like I owe you."

"Thanks man."

"Oh, wait. Sorry. You owe me. Everybody is still talking about Jessica. Pay up."

"It hasn't been a week"

"It's going to be in 2 days."

"But not yet."

(Later that day)

So I went to Andrea's house, rang the doorbell, and saw Jessica.

"Hey babe." She said, trying to be cool.

"I'm not here to take you back. Is Andrea here?"

"Yes. Why? You like her better than me?"

"… Tell her I need to talk to her."

"Fine" She went to get her and Andrea came to the door.

"Hey Acer. What's up?" She asked.

"Look, whatever you saw earlier today, wasn't what you think."

"I know. Rananto tried to say no, but he didn't have a chance to because Brooke is a big taker."

"That's one way to put it. You're not mad?"

"Of course I'm not mad."

"Well, Rananto told me you ignored him one time."

"Oh, that. I was angry but I got over it."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Okay, how about we plot and try to embarrass Brooke on their 'date'.

"You read my mind." She said as she welcomed me in.

After we had a great idea, it was 6:30. "Oh, I have to hurry up and call Rananto"

I called Rananto and told him to take Brooke to Le Fancy.

"Whyyyyyy?" he asked.

"Just do it!" I said.

At 7:00 o'clock we had everything planned and we pretended to be waiters at Le Fancy. Rananto and Brooke arrived, and sat at the table.

"Nice choice of a date." Brooke said.

Rananto was thinking 'what exactly does Acer have planned? Because he was supposed to help me, not make Brooke happier.'

So I wore sunglasses and a hat so nobody would notice me. Andrea did the same thing.

So I went to their table, and tried to do a French accent. (Why? Because I felt like it.)

"Eh, welcome to Le Fancy. What would you like to order?"

"Umm, what do you want Rananto?" Brooke asked Rananto, totally fooled.

"Huh? Oh, I'm not really that hungry. Plus, this food is really expensive." Rananto stated.

I decided to drop my accent. "Sorry about my accent. So, I can just give you drinks while you decide."

"Okay, I would like water then." Brooke said.

"Me too." Rananto said as he winked at me, knowing it was me.

I gave him a thumbs up and went to get some water.

Rananto's POV

So I was just waiting there seeing what Acer had planned. I figured I could use this time to tell Brooke that I wasn't interested.

"Umm, Brooke?" I said.

"Yes?"

"I never wanted to go on this date."

"Huh?"

"I was going to say no, but you stopped me." Maybe I said the wrong words, because I saw a tear run down her eye.

"No! No no no no no no. It's not like that." I quickly said.

"I know. I'm sorry. I just like you so much, I wanted to stop you from saying no. It's okay, this can be a friend date" she said, trying to smile but still looked sad. Actually, she looked like she was about to cry.

"I have to make one quick phone call." I said as I went outside of Le Fancy. I typed Acer's phone number.

Acer's POV

My phone rang. It was Rananto.

"Dude, what is it?" I asked.

"Drop it! Drop everything!"

"Umm, I'm not going to fight with you, but if you say so."

I hung up and went to Andrea.

"Andrea, he said not to go on with the plan."

"What? Why not?"

"I don't know."

"Don't tell me he's going on with the date."

"He wouldn't."

"You sure about that?"

"I know Rananto better than anyone. He wouldn't just ditch someone like that."

"Ugh. Then I'm going home and calling Rananto to see what he was thinking."

Andrea went home in rage.

Rananto's POV

I went back inside to sit down.

"Okay," I started to say. "If you promise this is going to be the only date, then I'll tell you a guy that really likes you."

"Okay. I promise. Who is he?"

"Hmm. It's this guy name Brad."

"Brad?! The most…"

"Popular boy in school, blah blah blah." I interrupted.

"Thanks for the information." Brooke said.

"No prob."

"But we can call the date off, this place is expensive."

"Thank you." I said as I started to walk out of the door.

Acer's POV

(the next day)

So Rananto cleared things with Andrea and they are actually a couple. The school newspaper said…

Popular boy in school was shocked that a girl named Brooke knew that he liked her. Now they are currently dating.

That was a crappy entry. But people seemed to be satisfied with it. Aggie didn't see me for a whole day. Which made her worried.

"Hey Acer. Where were you yesterday?" she asked

"Well, we didn't have any classes together yesterday. But today we do."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"No worries. But I am busy with my school work this week so we might not be able to hang out that much."

"Aww"

"Yeah.."

"But I understand. Education always comes first."

"Yep."

"Okay, see you later." Then she kissed me on my cheek like always.

"Bye." I said.

End of story POV
