A/N: Why isn't real life more like TV? Minus the dead body-ness… I swear this is not a Mary Sue! If you weren't gong to accuse me of that than forget I said anything…

It was lunch time so all the students, including I, hurried to the cafeteria. Mmmm… today they were serving Mystery Meatballs, with Mystery Gloop all over them! I waited in line patiently, believe me I wasn't in a hurry to ingest this stuff. That's when Ace Merrill and the Cobras made their way into the room. Ace had his arm around two known sluts- Natalie Fairweather and Louise Freemeyer… Now I wasn't one who usually believed gossip or anything, but my new found hormonal driven feelings for Ace Merrill had I think lead me to take anything negatively said about these two girls as gospel. However, they did dress like whores… (Bows head in shame)

Ace Merrill, the two (coughs), and the Cobras sat at a table in the corner. I was surprised they even came into the cafeteria. I mean the alleyway out back was just as good a place as any to make out, grope each other, and vandalize school property. Besides, they couldn't even smoke inside…

I received my, whatever the heck that was, and I sat down at a table near the window, poking my gloop and giggling like a little girl. I looked outside at the general store across the street. How interesting I thought sarcastically, wondering why I hadn't died of boredom, after growing up in this town. It was then that it came to me…so clear… if light bulbs actually appeared above your head, this one would be a floodlight. Ace Merrill thought he could have any girl he wanted, any time. I wasn't gonna deny that he was hot, but I knew he was an asshole. It was then that I naively took on my own personal mission of teaching Ace Merrill a lesson…sometimes I look back and I laugh at myself.

I stood up and triumphantly walked over to the Cobras table, abandoning my, er- lunch. The Cobras stared at me shocked as I sat down in front of Ace, leaned back in my chair and gave him a look that said I had something planned. He was too busy kissing both girls to notice. (See? What did I tell you?) He looked up and saw me sitting there, and shooed the girls away. He looked at me confused.

"What do you want?" He said, unthreateningly.

"Oh… nothing." I said looking around the room, casually.

"Really" He smirked, licking his lips "Then why are you here?"

"Well," I started, hatching my evil plan. "you're right- I do want you.

"Huh" He said his smirking getting bigger.

"Yeah." I said in complete serious-ness. "Just wanted to be near you." I stood up and walked away, leaving Ace Merrill completely confused. I continued out of the cafeteria and down the hall to where Natalie and Louise were leaning against the wall.

"We don't like you." Louise said immediately when she saw me.

"Yeah.' Natalie affirmed, stepping closer. "Do you really think you can still Ace Merrill away from of us and get away with it?" I laughed.

"Has it ever occurred to you that Ace is using you?" I said brilliantly. "He uses every girl he meets." I continued. "I'm not trying to steal you away from him- he's treating you guys like shit- that's what it is."

"Whatever" Natalie said defiantly and glared at me, but Louise seemed to follow.

"You want to help me get back at him, Louise?" I said, smiling broadly. She briefly glanced at Natalie who was looking at her in horror.

"Yes" She said, stepping away from Natalie and walking away from me.

"I have a plan" I said, putting my arm around her shoulder. "Ace Merrill won't know what hit him…"

"What's your name, again?" She asked.

"Mary Ann" I said triumphantly. "Mary Ann."

Little did I know how much my plan would work, and how differently I would soon see Ace Merrill in such a short time…
