I don't know what else to title it. I got the idea from the movie "Heartbreaker".
Eric Knox was patiently waiting for his order by the counter of Ramen's Pizzaria. The cashier handed him some change and two plates of pizza slices. He put his change in his pocket and brought the food over to the table where Michiru was sitting. She starred at her pizza sadly. "What's wrong?" Eric asked concerned.
"Nothing." Mitchy replied simply. She replaced the frown on her face with a fake smile. "Thanks." Eric shrugged his shoulders and gulped down his slice. Much later, Mitchy decided to give her good friend, Sammy, a call. "I can't do it anymore!"
"Okay.." Sam was puzzled. "Do what?"
"Be with Knox." Michiru answered firmly. "Really, he's not my type."
"You didn't say that before." Sammy teased. "You were totally clicking..with the clickage and stuff."
"I know but, the 'clickage' is gone, and I'm bored." Samori laughed at her predictable friend.
"Break up with him then."
"I want to, but then I'll feel bad. It'd be easier if he was the problem."
"Okay, that will never happen. You're too..you're just too you."
"Help me come up with a plan." Mitchy begged.
"What for? Just break up with him." Sam flipped the channel on her tv. She grabbed a handful of chips and chomped them down. "Ya *crunch* gotta do it shomtime."
"There has to be a way I can break up with him without feeling guilty."
"You'll feel guilty anyway. Too bad you're the only one he's interested in. If not, then he could get over you easier."
"Sam, you're a genious!" Mitchy exclaimed.
"What?" Sammy wondered. "What I do?"
"I got a plan, but you have to promise to help me."
"That's because I'm the plan right?"
"How'd you know?"
"I'm always in the plan." Sam groaned irritatedly.
"Common Sammy!" Michiru pleaded. "I won't ask you for anything else I promise!"
"What do I get out of it?" Samori asked a little interested in her creepy friend's reply.
"Money."
"Money?"
"Yeah. Money."
"How much?"
"You're really gonna make me pay you?"
"My assistance is valued by tons of people." Sam informed. "You're not exactly on the special people list. How much are we talking about?"
"How's twenty bucks?" Mitchy crossed her fingers. "That good enough?"
"That won't get me that cd player I've been wanting." Samori thought. "By the way, what exactly is the plan?" "You're gonna be Eric's rebound."
"What?! No way! Especially not for a twenty."
"Oh come on. You should be honored to be handed one of my ex-boyfriends."
"He's a potential ex Mitch. Plus, he's my ex too!"
"That's good motivation for you. You can pretend you want him back."
"Okay? Like, that's a big N-O."
"Fine. Fifty and I'll buy you lunch for the next two weeks."
"Eh..that's a shaky deal, but I'll cut you some slack and take it."
"Great." said Mitchy relieved. "I can't believe you're making your own friend pay you just so you'd do them a little favor."
"Correction Ms. Cheapo Scamlady." Sam yawned. "It's a big favor. Plus you're the bad friend. Who makes their friend go out with their ex? Gross much?!"
"Whatever..talk to you tomorrow." Both cell phones read 'call ended 00:21:36'.

Samori waited unpatiently at the water fountain where she and Mitchy agreed to meet. What was taking her so long? That was a question with unlimited anwsers. Seriously, the offer she recieved was standing on a piece of string. She could easily change her mind and forget all about helping her needy friend. Why she felt so much pity for her friend, she knew very well. Knox was practically her boy toy. There was no real appreciation for him in their relationship. Maybe Mitchy wasn't the actual person she felt sorry for. Ugh! Finally the witch arrives! "Where the hell were you?" Sam questioned.
"Hello, I was trying to get rid of Knox." the employer replied. "Since when are you early anyway?" Samori gritted her teeth angrily. "Okay here's the plan. Just..take him away."
"How do you expect me to do that?" Sam crossed her arms in front of her.
"I thought you liked being creative." Michiru challenged.
"Don't push me." Sammy warned. "Just tell me strait up what you want me to do." She should of just agreed to be creative. What was Mitchy thinking? She wants her to purposely kiss Eric in front of his own girlfriend so she could make a scene out of it and dump him. How lame was that? Oh how this whole idea was sickening her. Was she really going to go through with it? Why couldn't Michiru just dump the poor loser already? "Grr..I totally need to find new friends.." Sam murmmered to herself. ~ ~ ~ ~
Later that afternoon, Sam decided to get to what she had offered to do. How was it that Eric was sitting all alone at a lunch table on this very day? She stopped in her tracks for a moment, and then slowly headed for her target. On her way thoughts came to mind. She should turn away. Who knows what this could lead to? Major badness! This is so a bad idea. Is she that desperate for money? No. Sam decided that she would just think of this as fun. Then again, is kissing your ex any fun?
Knox got up from his seat and picked up his lunch tray. Then he turned around, and headed for the nearest trash bin. As he dumped his trash, he found that Samori had been standing right next to him. "Hey Eric." she greeted.
"Hi." the boy said dully. "What do you want?" OKay that little comment right then and there just shoved the tip of the anger bar for the mission girl, but she kept her cool.
After taking a very deep breath, Sammy answered,"Are you busy?" Eric shook his head, and headed another direction. She followed, detemined to get something started. "Meet me...." she began to say, but nothing else came out. She cleared her throat. "Can you meet me in the library last period?" Oh god. How could those few words be so hard to say..together? Grr. That stupid little...it just all annoyed Samori.
"Sorry, but no." Was his simply reply, as he continued his way.
"It's important." Sam said sternly. "It's definetely something you'd want to know." After raising an eyebrow, and thinking to himself for a moment, he agreed. As soon as she recieved the okay, Sam walked off. Mitchy noticed the mini conversation, and met her friend by the cafeteria doors.
"So?"
"Can't you just spread a rumor about him cheating on you?"
"No," Mitchy grinned evily. "This is much more fun."
"We're meeting in the library last period." Michiru clapped her hands excitedly.
"Never thought this was gonna be so..quick."
"Quick? I'm going to confess leftover feelings of love, you moron." Samori rolled her eyes. "Quickies aren't very convincing."
"Well then, you better be convincing." With a teasing wink, the desperate-for-singlism girly was off.
"I hate her.." Samori growled under her breath.

Later in the most educational and book filled room...
Eric sat once again, lonesomely at a corner table. He peered around the room for the same messanger he faced just a few hours ago. (sorry for the delay, i had an urge to horribly sing along to a song im listening to) Mitchy was nearby, watching him from behind a bookcase. She too awaited Samori's arrival. The two waited for at least a half an hour, before storming out of the library seperately. Eric headed out the doors of Hudson County High, not noticing Mitchy following. "Samori!!!" the irritated boy shouted aloud.
Sam dared not to turn around. She quickly tried to escape the grounds, but she was shoved to the ground. "Agressive much Eric?"
"Where were you?" he demanded to know. Mitchiru watched from a distance in shock.
"Can't breath.." the victim choked. "Blocking my..air supply." Eric gave the girl another push before letting her loose.
"Did you think it was funny making me wait there for nothing?!" Samori knew it'd be wrong to tackle him so she tried turning her back again. Still, it was a wrong choice. Knox grabbed her arm, and shouted "Answer me!!"
"What the hell do you want me to say?!" Sam bickered back. A crowd began to form around them. Mitchy moved up to get a closer look before she could see nothing of it at all. "Common! What do you want me to say?! Do you want me to say that I couldn't face you?" Everyone had a confused look on their face. "I couldn't tell you to you face that I still.." Was she really gonna say it? She was all in the zone, but she just couldn't say those three words.
"What?" Eric said in a careful, low tone. Did he really want her to finish her sentence. A thousand times no. She probably was gonna say "i hate you", but she couldn't. She said "still". She couldn't "still" hate him. She's hated him since, and they both knew it so why would she say "still"? "What couldn't you tell me." he asked calmly. Sam looked at everyone starring at her, just waiting for her answer. She made eye contact with Mitchy who nodded.
Samori gulped, ran to Eric, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pushed her lips onto his. "I love you." she whispered quickly before running off. (ahh!!! that just killed me!!!!)
Mitchy blinked a couple of times. Did she really mean to make her friend do that? The whole scene will be posted on the school newsletter. No, she didn't make her friend do that. There was no force. Then again, there was money involved, and anyone would do anything for money...just not Sam. MJ, RO, and Gia ran to her side. "Mitchy!"Mj tapped her motionless friend on the shoulder. Mitchiru ignored the three and went over to Eric who, apparently, lost his common sense. He was left with three actions: touching his lips, drooling, and mumbling sounds.
"Eric?" his girl called. No answer. Eric shook his head, turned and looked at Mitchy, then walked away. "Eric?!"
~ ~ ~ ~
"Not here so..you know, leave a message." *beep*
"Sammy!" Mitchy yelled. Sam layed back on her bed and listened to the machine. "Sammy, you're a genious!! That was incredible! I don't know how you did it, but you rock! So..like call me back." The doorbell rings. Sam goes to get it. It was Knox. Both looked looked at eachother without speaking.
What the hell? What is he doing here? Cross my fingers, get mad. Please, no positive comments..Arg!
"Samori.." Eric gulped. He scratched his head.
"Eric."
"I don't know what I'm doing here." he faked a short laugh.
"Uh neither do I?" Then there was silence.
"You..uh..." Knox stuttered. Why couldn't he talk, yell even? He was good at that. "You..you kissed me."
"A.." Samori paused. "Yes. Yes I did."
"You..I...ugh.."
The world, my children, is a very complex place. It's very dilusional, and the events in the world tend to become..complicating. Do you understand? Life is full of..surprises. Okay..I'll skip to the point. Eric leaned over and kissed the girl in front of him on the lips. That very girl's head started spinning, and she didn't know what to do so she kissed him back. That led to making out. Much badness. Meanwhile, Mitchy was getting tired of pressing redial so she decided to go and talk to her accomplice face to face, but little did she know Sam's secret unplanned plan. She caught the two in major lip lockage session on the couch. "Eric! You two-timing jerk!"
The un-togethered couple stopped emdiately after hearing that voice. They looked up to see Mitchy's teary and upset facial expression. Sam's eyes widened. "Mitchy, I uh.." Eric stood up from the sofa and paced around the room. Michiru covered her face and ran out of the house. See? Very complicating. Sammy moaned and fell back onto the couch. Eric froze for a moment, then turned to Sam. "I love you too."
"What?!" the fallen girl sat strait up in panick.
"You said you still love me." Knox informed. "I..still love you too."
"Okay?" she shook her head. "Eric, see you don't understand.."
"I know," he intrerrupted. "We can't just jump back into eachother's arms. We'll have to work on it, but that's okay."
"Yeah..about that...I"
"I'm really glad you told me before..you know."
"Eh..no..I uh okay..I'm tired."
"Okay then. I'll call you later." Knox gives her a tight squeeze, and then runs out of the house, the door slamming after him.
"He remembers my number?"

(Gudderson Mall)
"See, I knew something was not right." Mitchy thought. "But once I saw you two, I realized that you had a phase two. I just wish I could have slapped him."
"Dude." Samori took a sip of her soda she was holding. "Don't you think it was enough? Really that wasn't the plan."
"That was good enough."
"But.."
"See I know you like perfection in your evil schemes and all, but it was brilliant."
"There was a.."
"I'll just give you an I.O.U. kay?" Sam stopped and looked at Michiru furiously.
"Listen you. I really don't give a damb about the money anymore. That, back then and there was no plan."
"So you.."
"Let me finish!" Mitchy kept her mouth shut. "I seriously don't know what I was thinking when I decided to help you, but boy was I wrong."
"Wait what are you.."
"I mean, I don't care about your freakin' love life. You should have just dumped him, but no. You made me play around with his mind, and so now...NOW I'm stuck with the little dweeb!" Mitchy couldn't but burst into laughter. "Stop that!" Sam demanded. "It's not funny!"
"I can't believe it." Michiru's laughter eased to a stop. The two continued to walk. "I mean, I thought he would be crawling all over me, begging for forgiveness, but instead he's all over you...reconfessing his love." The giggling began again.
"It's like so not fair." was Sammy's complain. "Like, this is bad. Who know's what will happen if he's too attached. He might do something crazy like voodoo or a spell to make me marry him."
"Please. You know..I have a feeling you like the results."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on. I see your look of evny when Knox and I would hang out. And you hate that I call him by his last name."
"Okay I so do not Dude."
"Don't deny it. You can ask any one of our friends and they would say the same thing."
"I. dont. want. your. stupid. boyfriend!"
"Yeah sure." Mitchy rolled her eyes.
"So I guess you won't return the favor and get him away from me?"
"Nope. You're on your own." Ugh. How Sam hated her. What a bad friend. Ugh. How could she have been so stupid?! Now she was stuck with a loser. Grr!! For the next few days, Eric tagged along with Samori whenever he could. She quickly scheduled an emergency IC meeting in the girls room.
"Please, I'm begging you!" Sam pleaded. "Take him away!" She was practically on her knees, throwing herself at Mitchy's feet. "He's everywhere, following me..telling his friends...I mean, I don't care about the whole rumors or popularity thing, but it's driving me nuts!" Mitchy smirked, but the other two girls smiled simpathetically.
"You're not passing the dork to me." MJ said.
"Come on Mitchy," Ro urged. "Help her out." Michiru shook her head, still grinning.
"You're just loving this aren't you?" Sammy growled. tbc...
