"Operation Get-Drew-to-ask-me-to-the-dance is undergo." I a dit in a hushed tone to my best friend Nyomi.

"We so got to get a better name then that, Lola," replied Nyomi. "Operation Drew sounds better."

"Who cares just go ask him who he is taking to the Valentine Dance."

"Why me?"

"You are his closest friend," i said. "You know him so much better then I do."

"Fine," she grumbled. I watched from behind the mur as Nyomi went up to my crush and ask him the sacred question.

I saw them laughing and thought everything went according to plan. Then she came back.

"He a dit he was thinking about asking Rachel," a dit Nyomi.

"Are toi sure toi heard correctly? He could not have a dit Rachel."

"I know right, Rachel is a complete witch! Have toi seen her hair." Leave it to Nyomi to be worried about the most dumbest of things. "that hair color is so dyed. No one's hair is that blonde."

"Can toi forget about her for one second? Drew will never notice me," I complained.

"Looks like we will need some boy experts."

*************************

"So you've come to me for help?" Brianna stared up at me with her Russian eyes. I nodded in reply. "Who is the boy toi speak of then?"

"Drew. Drew Carter," a dit Nyomi.

"Aah," she grunted. "Do toi realize how many girls go ga-ga over him? Why should I help you?"

"Because," i began. "I am the only one who will actually pay toi if I go to the dance with Drew."

"You have a deal."

*************************

Brianna assured me that Drew would be asking me the jour before the dance which was Friday. Today is Thursday.

"I do not know about her Nyomi." I was in English with Nyomi. the only thing I could think about was Drew. Brianna had swore he was going to ask me today. It is half way through the jour and still nothing.

"Do not worry," suggested Nyomi. "Brianna is the best in the boy business."

I was relieved when the cloche, bell rung and I could finally leave and go to study hall. It is the only period where I can go and talk to him.

I rounded the corner and popped my head into the classroom to see if Brianna was here. She told me to meet her here. Brianna was there but I think she was too busy s’embrasser Drew to notice me come in. toi can probably imagine what happened next. Nothing. Nothing happend. I just walked out.

My Guy Guru was busy getting her guru on with my guy. she is so not going to get the money.

**************************

After school, I sat on my lit groaning as I replayed what had happened at school. Nyomi was there and was listening closely.

"I think she is jealous of you," conclued Nyomi. "Think about it, she was not willing to help until toi offered money."

"Why would the Russian goddess be jealous of me?" Brianna was stunning with her naturally curly red hair and light blue eyes. I was just Lola Belle. There was not anything beautiful about me.

"Who I am I fooling?" I threw my hands up in defeat. "Why would he go for a girl like me?"

"Oh, Lola," sighed Nyomi. "Drew is too blind to go with you. He would never appreciate what he could have had but we should so totally make him regret it."

"How?"

************************

It was the Valentine Dance. Nyomi had dressed me up like this was the Emmy's of something. My hair was curled and hung past my shoulders. I wore a red strapless dress with the most uncomfortable red heels ever. I have to admit, though, I look good!

"Be on the look out for them," a dit Nyomi. "Go exactly as planned. Here's some punch."

I scanned the room until I saw Brianna in her white dress and sparkling heels. I walked swiftly towards them while clutching the glass of punch.

"Hello, Lola," greeted Brianna.

"Hey," murmured Drew.

I said, "Since when did toi two become a couple?"

"Things happend," replied Drew.

"Oh, I see."

"Anyways, Lola are toi here alone?" Brianna was testing the waters with me.

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Too bad," she said. "Drew and I will be going off to dance."

"Wait, I forgot to do something."

"What?"

In seconds, I threw the contents in my glass on her expensive white dress. I felt so much better.

The End
