"This Really Happened" Chapter 2 �Hey, we�re here,� Dan said standing outside Stacey�s door. �Oh,� Stacey got out of the car and the two walked back into the busy lunch hour. �Hey Stacey! Dan! Over here!� Dan and Stacey turned toward the voice. It was Meredith Stoker, another friend. Dan and Stacey went over to the table that Meredith was sitting at. Along with Meredith were Cameron, Valerie, Tristan, Vanessa, and Dean, all friends of Stacey and Dan. The two sat at the table and easily joined in the conversation. After lunch, Dan and Stacey walked to their sixth period English class. This was Stacey�s chance to get to know Jacob. Stacey walked faster than usual leaving Dan in her dust. He gladly let her get to class before him. He was afraid of what she was planning. Stacey always had a secret agenda and her plans always turned out badly. Dan entered the classroom surprised to see Stacey silently sitting in her own seat and catching up on her reading. There was no sign of Jacob. The bell rang and class began. �I thought you said he was in our English class,� Stacey leaned over and whispered urgently in Dan�s ear. �He is,� Dan muttered. �I don�t know where he is.� The door opened and Dan didn�t dare to look at who was entering. He knew who it was, he didn�t need the confirmation. He almost felt sorry for the guy. Stacey was a lot to handle if you didn�t know what you were getting yourself into. Their teacher barely gave Jacob more than a glare as he slid into his seat. Stacey perked up. Here was her chance. She had to think fast. She had to plan something. She needed an opportunity. �Okay class, I�ll give you the rest of the period to work on your reading projects. Just keep the noise level down.� �Yes! Opportunity knocks! Score!� Stacey screamed in her thoughts. �Now what? I�ll just think of something when I get there.� She didn�t give herself a chance to think. She calmly got up out of her seat and walked to the back of the room. She leaned against Jacob�s desk. Jacob gave her a curious look. He recognized her. He knew who she was. He wondered what she wanted. �Hey,� Stacey said coolly. �Hey,� Jacob echoed. His heart was pounding. �What does Stacey Heart want with me? That pretty little face is going to break me. Stay cool Jacob. Just stay cool. Don�t let her fool you. You have the power over her. Don�t let her know your plan.� �Party at my house Saturday at ten. Be there.� With that Stacey walked away leaving Jacob watching her every move. Stacey slipped back into her seat. Dan stared at her with a bewildered expression on his face. �What did you just do?� he asked her. �We just planned a party,� Stacey replied facing straight ahead.
