Getting home, the first thing I knew I had to do was call Jana. After all, she hadn�t even heard Jesse�s full name yet, let alone the fact that we were now together. *after getting connected* Jana- �Hello?� Me- �Heyyyy!� Jana- �Oh hey Val��..did the pizza thing blow over good? Which nail polish? How hott was he?� Me- �hehe, I�ll get to that later. First off, HE is Jesse. Jesse McCartney.� Jana- *gasp* �Wait, wait a second�.blonde hair? Blue-green eyes? Weird triangle eyebrows?� Me- �omg! Hey yeah! and don�t forget that cute little button nose a� his�.can�t forget that!� Jana- �He used to be on the tv show �All My Children!� I love that show! He was Adam Chandler�s son, JR!!!� Me- �OoooOooooh, the junior thing!!! I get it!� Jana- �Whaa?� Me- �Nvm, but really? He was on my tv set, no joking?� Jana- �I�m almost positive!� Me- �So my little sweetie does acting too? This relationship just keeps lookin� better n better!� Jana- �Relationship? Sweetie? Okay, now u gotta tell me about what happened last night!� Soooo, I did. I told her every little juicy detail that I could recall. About 30 minutes later, Jana was totally up to date with my life. She knew about the guys and their �performance�, the car ride, the cheerleaders, and the cafeteria, too. Me- �But Jana, u said that Jesse used to be on AMC�.what happened?� Jana- �Uh, I think that they recasted him for sum older guy�Bad move if u ask me! Ure boy was really good! And really hott too! Me- �lol, I soooooo wish I couldve seen him!� After about 10 more minutes of chat, we hung up. Then (%of course%) after a little bit of hmwk, I got another phone call, this time it was Gabby (and Cate) on speaker phone. Gabby- �It�s allllll worked out now, all we need is u Val.� Me- �Oh jeez, what�s my role in this?� Cate- �We can explain all the particulars later, hehe, it will sound better in person�� Me- �um, ok? That scares me a little, but ok�.� Gabby- �Can u come to my house in about 45 minutes?� Me- �I think that sounds good, 118 Landover St., right Gabs?� Gabby- �Yupz! Okay, we�ll cya then��..good luck finding it!� Me- �haha, thanks��.But WAIT! Don�t I get ne clue on what the plan's about?� Cate- �Alright�����videos.� *a few secs later we hang up* Videos? What was that supposed to mean? Oh well, there was no point in trying to figure it out, they were gonna explain it all soon newayz. Luckily tonight my new teachers hadn�t loaded me down with a lot of homework, so I was able to finish it all with a good chunk of time left. I decided not to waste ne of it. I had to find out more about Jesse�s friends and their music group. What was it? Dream streets or sumthing? *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Within my time limit, I was able to find out sum kewl �n interesting stuff. Alright, so they were this group of guys 14-16 yrs old�all living here in Westchester�Their first single, �It Happens Every Time� had been out for a little while and was doing well�.AND, it had a music video�.Maybe the plan had sumthing to do with that? *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* I was ready for answers by the time I had gotten to Gabby�s house. Me- *up in Gabby�s room* �Okay�now can u tell me? I don�t get it? Videos?� Cate- �Alright, but nething we tell u must be kept in confidence, ok? Nobody else knows about what were doing except for me and Gabs�.and well, u now�.� Me- �Um, ok? I�m still kinda freaked out about what ure gonna say, but go ahead. Tell me. I won�t tell. Promise.� Cate- �Well um okay�..u wanna take it from here Gabby?� Gabby- �Right. Ok, here�s the DL. See, these aren�t just ne tapes were talking about here�..were talking bout blackmail tapes�..u know, of Eva!� Me- �Huh? Why? Cate, u don�t even know Eva!� Cate- �I know, I know, it sounds evil���..but I DO know Chris. And if uve learned nething about us yet, uve probably noticed that we loooove Chris. Well, itz just something that us overprotective ppl need to do�.it�s a little hard to explain�� Gabby- �Right. Whats ure opinion?� Me- �U guys! Blackmail? Can�t u just talk to Eva about all this? I dunno, SOMETHING?� Gabby- �Girl, now u sound like Mrs. Bond!� (%health class%) Me- �But seriously u guys, think of what could happen. U could end up ruining Eva�s reputation for a while�I don�t want to sound like some kind of instructor here, but u know, Chris won�t find u guys too appealing if u try to mess up his gf!� Cate- �Yeah, we�ve thought of that too���.� Gabby- �Val, we told u about this becuz we thought that u would help us, not rat us out�.r u w/ us or not?� It wasn�t right, No way. I shouldn�t. Me- �Well�..yeah okay. I�m with ya�� Stupid. Stupid. Stupid����well newayz� Gabby- �aight, kewl. I knew we could count on ya.� Me- *sighing* �So what do I have to do?� Cate- �hmmmm, well we were thinking that maybe u could call Eva and set up the situation. See, like u said, I haven�t personally met Eva yet, and well, Gabby�s first impression didn�t sound so good�.so yeah?� Gabby �Tell her to meet us at the park near O�Malley�s��I think she�ll know where that is�� Me- �Okay, I will, but what should I tell her we�re doing?� Cate- �Well�uh, tell her that we�re shooting a short film. Yeah! And that we need sum more actresses if she�d be interested. Tell her itz for English Class.� Me- �Well. Alright, do u know the phone #?� Cate- �Its 1-555-430-4616, we looked it up before u came�� As u might have already guessed, I really didn�t want to be a part in this plan. Was there really a choice though? These guys were nice to me, let me into their group, and now they were asking for sum assistance�.a reasonable request. All I had to do was call. It wasn�t my plan, and I wasn�t doing the real dirty work, they were. I was hearing two different voices inside my head. One was saying �U wanna fit in don�t ya Val? Just go along with it�.� And the other was begging �Don�t do it. What did Eva do to deserve this?� Backing out would�ve made me look like a wimp and an unloyal friend. However, what if I went along with it? Then what if Jesse found out that I was part of making his friend dump his girlfriend? How would that look to him? Voice- �Hello?� Me- �Hi. Is Eva there?� Voice- �Yes, hold on one moment please��..EVAAAAAAAA! Telephone!!!!!!!!� Eva- �Hello?� Me- �Hi, this is Val Johnson, um the girl from last night�� Eva- �Hey neighbor, what�s up?� Me- �Not too much. But I was wondering if maybe u�d be interested in helping me and my friends with sumthing��.?� Eva- �Okay, what?� Me- �Well see, for uh, English class me�..and Gabby from the night b4 and another girl named Cate are making this short film thing�..and we, we were wondering if maybe u�d like to be a part of it? U know, acting in front of the cameras for us? We kinda need a few more ppl if ure interested�.� Eva- �Oh acting? I love to act! Sure I�d be interested�.whats ure film about?� Me- �Um��..can u hold on one second?� Eva- �uh, okay.� Me- *covering up the phone; whispering* �What�s the movie about???!� Cate- �um, uh��..love story, love story�hmmmmmmm�..oh! Romeo and Juliet!� Gabby- �Oh Oh, Aladdin! Love dat movie!� *starts singing* �I can show u the world�..� Cate and I- � Huh? ALADDIN?� *Gabby shrugs her shoulders* Me- *into the phone* �Well�were still kinda working it out, but um, its gonna be sum kind of cross between Romeo and Juliet, and um��.Aladdin.� Eva- *laughing* �okay kewl, when do u need me?� Me- �Uh, well hows ure schedule looking for��.today?� Eva- �haha, um, can u hold on a second?� Me- �Sure�����*covering the phone*�(to Cate and Gabby) What time u guys?� Gabby- �How about 20 minutes?

Could u meet us in about 20 minutes at the park near O�Malley�s?� Eva- �Okay sure, can�t wait�.cya then.� Me- �bye.� Eva- �Bye.� *We hang up* The plan seemed to be working so far���great? Gabby and Cate- �SooOoOoOo��..?� Me- �uh, shes coming�� Cate- �sweet!� Gabby- �Yes!� Me- *not as enthusiastic* �yay?� Cate- �Hurraayyy! Now its time to start phase 2 of our awesome plan!� Me- �Which would be???� Cate- �The man!! The hero boy, the Romeo���or the Aladdin. In this case Ryan. He�s the one Eva will be cheating on Chris with.� Gabby- �yeah, u know�we�ll shoot a couple of love scenes, kissy-kissy�..its gonna work out sooo good.� Me- �This whole thing is kind of funny��*sighs* I can�t believe I�m doing this, but oh well, I guess I should get more into it like u guys��� Gabby- �Now there we go! LoL, this is gonna be fun, don�t worry!� Me- �haha, I guess we�ll see�� Cate- �ok, so whos calling Ryan?� Gabby- �oh oh! me me!!!

The OLDER girl might I add�.� She had thrown the bait�.Haha, now it was time to see if Ryan would follow�.(like ne normal teenage guy would). Ryan- �Alright! I�m interested! Who is she?� Yup, he did. Me- �She�s my neighbor. Her name�s Eva and shes 15.� Cate- �AND SINGLE!� Gabby- �So Ryan, if this all works out, u could get a new girlfriend out of this deal�� Ryan- �Cool. So when. where. what?� Cate- �meet us at the park near O�Malley�s at 5:30, k?� Ryan- �right. I�ll be there.� Me, Gabby, n Cate- �Byeeeeeeee!� Ryan- �Bye.� *We hang up* Me- �Wow.

So great, now what r we gonna do?� Me- �Well we don�t REALLY need the scripts we can just tell the ppl what to do n stuff�.� Cate- �But wait!
