Having received a phone call from Chuck early Sunday morning asking him to come over, once there, Mike discovered not only Chuck but Kathy Hetherington waiting there for him. "What's going on Chuck was Kathy here?" he asked.
"Don't get excited there Mike! I got to talking with Kathy here and told her a bit about your plans, and she thought maybe she could help since she was in most of the classes with Michelle and could let you know her reaction and the things that she'd say to the other girls. She can be in places you and I cannot." Chuck explained.
Mike was starting to get a little pissed off at Chuck for blabbing his business around, but he had a point that he was a great girl. They'd known each other since the second grade, and although they'd never dated he had always considered her a friend. And they were right. She could go places and hear things that he could not. So Mike said. "Chuck I'm not sure if I like you spreading around my feelings, but you're right. Kathy can be a big help, so she can give me a woman's view and can listen in on her reactions to be places that there is no way you or I'd be; such as the locker room or the lady's rooms. Just try not to spread it around anymore."
"OK, what's next? What's the first step we do?" Kathy asked.
"We'll first I'm waiting for her to break up with Brad. I don't think it'll take too long before he reverts back to being his normal jerk self." Mike said.
"Well, your waiting is over. While we were at George Johnson's party last Friday, Brad was being his normal self, bragging to his buddies and basically ignoring her. After a while of this, she just exploded and told him to Fuck Off! She was just fed up with him treating her like a possession and just arm candy." Kathy said.
"It looks like she's free now so I guess that puts us on the attack. The first thing I think I should do is to have flowers delivered to her in second period History class. We are all three in that class, so we can see her reactions. I'm going to send the flowers anonymously, but I'm including a love letter with it unsigned just to get her curiosity up. Now to figure out what to say so that she knows it comes from someone else and not one of those idiot jocks." Mike said.
They spent the next couple of hours trying to come up with the perfect note to include with the flowers;
Michelle; the most beautiful girl in the school. You don't know me since I am not a jock or one of the A-list people that you normally hang out with. I'm also not a brain. However, I have admired you from afar for years. You deserve better than the way you are being treated now and should not be taken for granted.
Sincerely. Your secret admirer.
"That should get her attention but what's the next step?" Kathy asked.
"I think we'll let her wait for a couple of days while we watch her to see how she reacts to the flowers before we make our next move." Mike explained.
Chuck said. "I still think you're wasting your time and spending too much money on the little princess. But if nothing else it should be fun to watch her reactions."
"You just don't have any romance in your soul. If you did maybe we would still be together." Kathy explained.
"I am romantic! Didn't I take you to dinner and the movies while we were dating? What about that?" Chuck exclaimed.
"Some romance! Most the time we went to dinner, it was Dutch treat because you didn't have any money. And I spent more time fighting off your octopus arms in the movies than I did watching the film." Kathy laughed.
"Children, children can't we just get along? We're trying to figure out the basic plan with Michelle not your past squabbles." Mike laughed.
Monday morning about 10 minutes into history there was a knock on the door and a delivery boy from FTD florist came in with a large bouquet. Going to the teacher they whispered back and forth for a few minutes with her finally pointing out Michelle. The florist came to Michelle and said that the bouquet on her desk after turning to leave.
"It seems like you have an admirer Michelle?" Mrs. Jacobs said.
"It's probably Brad; we broke up Friday because I told him that I needed a little romance in my life this is probably just as way to get back together." Michelle said hamming it up for her friends.
While her friends were laughing as you will notice the note became what the flowers opening it and reading it, she suddenly got very quiet. "It's not from Brad. It seems that I have a secret admirer." Michelle said.
Sally Hughes, Michelle's best friend snatched a note from her hand quickly reading it before Michelle could snatch it back from her. "Who do you think it is? If Brad finds out who this guy is he will kill him!"
"I told you it was over between Brad and me. All Brads wanted me to be was a piece of arm candy, so he can show me off to his buddies; that he's a big man a football star and dating the head cheerleader? That may seem good to you, but I think I want more out of life than to be just someone's trophy girlfriend." Michelle said quietly.
"Who do you think this guy might be? He said he's not a jock or a brain, or one of the people we normally hang out with, so who do you think it may be?" asked Diane, one of the other cheerleaders.
Mrs. Jacobs soon called the class to order and got on with her history lesson. After class Kathy and Chuck got with Mike, and they agreed to meet at Chuck's house after school to compare notes.
