Marina's POV

Remember what I said about the love situation earlier? It's majorly awkward. Like, Eight and Nine are now not on speaking terms. I guess I should be pleased that their fighting over me though.

And when John and Sam fight over Six, they have to do it in private, where Sarah, who thinks that John loves HER, can't here them. Meanwhile Six is angry at John and Sam for fighting over her because she likes Nine.

Confused? Imagine how I feel.

So that is an idea of the atmosphere when we sit down for dinner in the penthouse.

I've got Eight on one side, and Nine who keeps edge his chair closer, on the other.

"Marina, hon, pass the sauce." Yeah, Nine's got this idea that I like him back.

I ignore him. It's better that way.

"Fine, bitch, I'll get it myself."

And once again, awkward silence. This whole love hexagon thing is messing up my mind.

"I'm going for a walk." I stand up. Nine puts his hand on my shoulder, and I shrug it off.

"With me?" He asks hopefully.

"No." Eight says forcefully. "With ME."

We walk out Lake Michigan enjoying the peace, when Sarah comes running up to us.

"Hey." She smiles. "This love stuff getting to you?" I nod. I feel bad for Sarah, she doesn't know John's feelings for Six.

"Well, I've got an awesome idea."

Eight grins. "I'm listening."

"We set them up." Sarah continues. "With the people we think are right for them, and see how it goes." A smile slowly spreads over my face.

"Let's do it!" Eight whoops.

"Okay!" I grin. "What should the pairs be?"

They consider, then Eight says. "Definitely John and Sarah... And us." I nod, feeling a blush creep over my cheeks.

"How about Nine and Six?" I offer.

"I don't know, I think we should let Sam go with Six, he's been down lately."

"Fine, but what about Nine?" Eight interjects.

We fall silent.

"How about Ella?" Sarah is joking... I hope. "Like, not for real, just Nine treating Ella to a day out, as we have no one for him?"

"Agreed." Eight says. "Now we just have to tell them..."

I groan. This is going to be the hard part.

Ella's POV

The others are seriously getting on my nerves. If love is for fools, I'm surrounded by a bunch of them. I mean, I was so bored of their moping, I even tried to bake a cake!

I don't even bake... The end product was ten wasted eggs (I think that's how many you put in) a lot of smoke, and a very pissed of Marina.

But now Marina, Eight and Sarah told me their plan, things are looking up. Especially as I get to go on a day trip. My job is to break the news, because, their words not mine, Nine is less likely to murder me.

So don't blame me when I say it's a little nerve-wracking.

"Hey guys." I say as I go into the living room. "What would you do if I told you that you were being set up in different parings until you find the one?"

"I would kill you, unless it was Marina. Why do you ask?" Nine, ever the dense one.

"Because, Nine." Six seethes. "Because that is actually what happened!"

"WHAT?!" Nine hollers.

I think now might be a good time to leave.

A/N So sorry, incredibly short chapter! Only had 20 mins. Next one will be of the different dates. How did you like that? To extremist? Oh, and notice to all Nix fans: Your in luck, there will be Nix, even though Six is going with Sam. :) Hope you enjoyed.
