Note: The following phone number is fake and random. But, if you do text it, please tell me what happens xD

I stare at my texts. One new message from 891-761-1927. Who the hell is that?

I text back: "And you are...?"

"ur trew love ;)" the person responds in about 2 seconds.

Although I'm not sure, I'm pretty positive it's Bane.

"My only loves are Shrek and food. By the way, please learn how to spell," I respond to the dumb text.

"dam it abril, just edmit u lyke moi."

"I do not currently understand what you are saying, sir, and I hope you start spelling correctly," I text to possible-Bane.

"wth u r so anoing." I get a text back.

As we continue bantering, he finally tells me who he is. I decide to punch him at school.

"Okay, so let me get this straight:
1.) You cannot spell.
2.) You are Josh Bane.
3.) You are as annoying as cheese.
4.) You think I like you."

"how iz chese anoing?" He texts back.

I don't like cheese, ok! Well, that's what I want to say. Instead I just ignore him and continue watching some videos. After about ten more texts from Bane, I finally decide to call Vanessa.

"Help. Me." I say into the phone.

"No, help me! Bane keeps texting me. Ugghh. He's trying to get me to get him a date with you. Why the hell does he want to go out with you so bad?" Nessa replies.

"I don't know. But I have an idea," I tell her, quite deviously.

•+•+•+•+•+•+•

Standing outside of Catie's Cappuccinos, I text Vanessa. "At the nest."

Soon, I see a guy walking up. "The bird is in the nest."

"Hey, hottie," he says.

"Hi," I say with a smirk.

"Are you ready?" Bane asks with a smirk. He thinks he's lured me in, but he's in for a big surprise.

"Yep," I say, as a I walk into the coffee shop.

He slips his fingers in my hand. I try not to barf. Please help me.

"Where do you want to sit, my lady," Bane says.

"I have to pee," I say, rushing off to the bathroom. Unfortunately, I get lost and have to ask someone.

I take my phone out of my pocket and call Vanessa. I cannot handle this. "PLEASE HELP ME," I say into the phone. She just tells me to shut up and deal with it. She should get an award for most supportive friend, am I right?

I walk out of the restroom and crash into someone. As I stumble onto the floor, some guy's hand comes down to help me up. "Thanks," I say, brushing myself off.

"No problem, it's my fault," he says. Walking off, I wonder who that was. His face was familiar, but I just couldn't remember.

"Hey! Wait, aren't you Abril? From school?" the guy says, running over to me.

"Yeah," I say, slightly blushing. "And you are...?"

He tells me his name is Caleb. Suddenly, it all comes back to me. We were friends in, like, first grade.

"Well, see you around," I say, not wanting to get back to my lovely date with Bane.

I slowly walk back to Bane, finding him sitting on a small table with two seats on either side. Yay! Note the sarcasm.

As I sneak up, I see him talking to a quite good-looking person who j assumed was a waitress. I assumed she was an Aphrodite demigod using charmspeak, but that's beside the point.

"So, what ya doin, Joshie," the creepy girl asks.

"Just waiting for you," he says with a wink.

I couldn't believe my luck. Plan R.O.J. is now in action. As Bane and the girl, who I now recognize as a girl named Lacey from school, walk towards the exit of the shop. I strut up and say, "Hey! What the hell are you doing with my date?" I stifle a laugh and try to keep a straight face.

Bane turns around, clearly surprised. "Your date?" Lacey asks, kind of snootily.

"Mm hmm," I reply, trying to sound sassy.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't know!" Lacey responds. That even flabbergasted me. She slapped Bane in the face and walked towards me. "Hmph!" she says to Bane, putting her chin in the air like royalty. I do the same, and together, we walk out the door.
