Whatever it Takes.

Chapter Two – Written by CherryPezFoo.

AN- Hey guys! I thought this version was better, so I changed it :D Thank you very much for the reviews, follows and favourites! It means so much knowing people support us! And yes, I'm writing both chapters one and two because Kelly is lazy. Haha, no she isn't ;D It's really because I'm going to be writing all the Teddy stuff, and she'll be writing the OC stuff, so I had to write this chapter so it would be less confusing :L! I hope you guys enjoy Teddy's master plan :D! (Reviews are very much treasured)

"I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme,

So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine,

cos we all recognise, real is what my father says,

and I'll be sticking to this phase until I pass away,

Overworking? No, sleep is just another way to die slow,

but I'll keep going,

strong as ever,

never let my eyes close." –Ed Sheeran and Devlin.

I ruffled my hair and slicked it back with my favourite wax. I had to admit, I looked even more dashing than usual. I pulled out a shirt from the back of my wardrobe, a change from my usual T-shirt and dog tags but I had to look particularly better than usual for my plan to work. Oh, did I forget to tell you my plan? Well I hope you're sitting comfortably because it's time for you to take a peek into insanely awesome mind of the one and only Theodore Duchamp.

Okay simpletons, let's start from the beginning. First off, I must seduce Laura Steele. Not an easy task you say? Well, my naïve friends, you shouldn't feel bad. Not everyone has the charm and grace as I, Teddy have. Of course, I know how to 'roll' with the ladies. I just choose from my own original selection of pick up lines. I already have one picked out: "Ahem, If sexy were a crime, you'd be guilty as charged." Now tell me, what female could resist that! AND it's me, saying it, the poor girl will be infatuated. So, once me and Laura and happily 'In love' I shall get closer to Sergeant Steele. He will see how awesome I am to Laura, and when I tell him of my aspiration to be in the army he will happily oblige. Me and Laura will politely part ways, though secretly she will be heartbroken from the lack of Teddy in her life, and I will be living the dream. Nothing could possibly go wrong. I even had a plan B. I remember my father telling me once: "Fail to prepare son? Then prepare to fail." Those were the words I lived my life by.

Now it's time to seduce Laura. I glanced back in the mirror before straightening my glasses and throwing myself a quick wink. I strolled down the street 'casually' until I spotted the Steele household. My plan was working already! Here was Laura, alone, sunbathing out the front garden. She was sipping a drink and reading some gushy romance novel. Could things be anymore perfect? "Laura, right?" I said sauntering up to her. She didn't even peek past her sunglasses. "Depends who's asking." She replied coolly "Teddy Duchamp" I told her flirtatiously. She peered past her sunglasses looked me up and down and snickered. Teddy, don't blow this! Teddy your awesome cool, and devilishly handsome, she's just playing with you, play back. I looked her up and down slowly. "Like what you see?" She muttered sarcastically. "Woah, If sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!" I said it sexily just to tease her; she looked shocked then angrily went back to her book. "So baby, you want to go out sometime?" Just then a horn beeped and Ace Merrill shouted over to her. " C'mon babe, ditch the freak and lets get moving'" "Kay babe!" She screamed back and then turned to me "Not on your life Theodore!" How was it possible!? My plan had failed. No, that's admitting defeat, you never admit defeat I say to myself. You just hit a bump in the road is all. I heard the door slam behind me and I turned around to see a girl. Very much shorter than Laura and much less attractive. She was the chubby side, not exactly fat but not exactly thin. She also had red hair which was tied back messily and the heat had made it curl around her face, her eyes were mossy green and her cheeks were red and flushed. Maybe, all hope wasn't lost, there might be less perks, but an easy target is an easy target, right?
