One would say that bumping into another person while you're walking down the hall ways at school, and consequently dropping all of you books on the floor would essentially be considered a clumsy accident because either you weren't looking or you just happened to be moving to fast and did not see the person. So I'm sure when Jo collided with the tall, lean muscular body of Phoebe's brother Tyler anyone in that hallway assumed Jo; being the social outcast that she was, had accidentally bumped into him.

Except...it was very much done on purpose.

Jo had been watching Tyler all day and made the precise, calculated move to get in his way, to have him crash into her, and now placed him in the predicament they were in. Jo quickly said she was sorry as she knelt down to gather her books and papers that were scattered on the floor, Tyler with a sigh did the same.

"I'm sorry" she mumbled again, keeping her head down so to not look at him, not yet.

"Its okay." He replied, they worked silently for a few moments. Their hands brushed at they both reached for the same book. As their hands touched the teenagers both looked up at each other and to Jo's odd pleasure they were just close enough that when she looked up towards him their faces were but inches apart.

His eyes were such a deep shade of green that clashed surprised with her ocean blue orbs, holding her breathe Jo quickly retreated her hand. Mumbling a quick apology she gathered her books and papers against her chest and rose, Tyler followed shortly after.

"Um..Thanks." her free hand scratched the back of her head as she bit her lower lip nervously.

"No problem." He smiled at her. It was actually possible for another male to get a reaction out of Jo other than Danny because when he smiled at her, she felt the wind get knocked right out of her lungs. He was truly breath taking.

"Right Um..Ok." She moved to leave but he quickly reacted so that he blocked her exit.

"You're Jo Masterson right?" He asked as Jo took a step back so she could look up at him, he was considerably taller than her. He had short blond hair and a cheeky little smile that made him very dangerously attractive, his bone structure was angular, his lips full. He didn't have that fine boyish look Danny had, no he was far more masculine and rigid.

"Um, Yeah." She shifted about seemingly uncomfortable.

"I'm Tyler," She blinked at him "Tyler Daly. I'm Phoebe's brother." Jo nodded slowly, her mouth formed a small "o" shape as if understanding.

"I didn't know Phoebe had a brother." She said a bit awkwardly causing Tyler to chuckle lightly. "Not that I'm close to Phoebe or anything."

"I know that." Jo bit her lip looking down, this was a train wreck. "You think you want to have dinner with me tonight?" Jo's head shot up, she looked at him in shock.

"Really?" the tone in which she asked that, clearly let Tyler know that she didn't trust him. " I mean are you sure? I'm not exactly the popularity central. My best friend is Danny Desai." She adjusted the bag o her shoulder and Tyler smiled at her.

"I need a break from the popular crowd, besides I think you're actually a pretty interesting girl." His answer earned a scoff from Jo, he laughed at that. "Its just dinner. Its not like I'm asking you to marry me or any thing." Jo look at him, she was sure she was going to burn in the deepest circle of hell for what she was doing, for what she was about to do, for what she had decided to do.

"Ok," She said and he smiled at her. He reached for a piece of paper and wrote down the name of the Diner, as well as a time. With a final wink in her direction he turned to leave, Jo looked down at the paper and exhaled loudly. Oddly enough everything had gone...

According to Plan.

As she watched him walk away Jo thought back to the day before, the morning of the Fall Fest.

The sound of the cup some what slamming onto the table had startled Jo. Looking up from her notes she looked into the cautious eyes of Danny Desai. He smiled at her as he took a seat next to her. Had they not had a similar moment a week or so earlier? She didn't speak and instead watched him, waiting to see what it is he wanted.

Silence.

The clock ticked in the distance

Silence

Someone coughed to their right

Silence

Some jocks laughed about some joke someone told.

Still there was Silence.

"What is it?" She asked impatiently after several moments of strained silence, he smirked at her as if he had just won some amazing prize.

"Got you to talk to me." He said with a cocky little smile. Rolling her eyes Jo couldn't help the small smile that left her lips. "There's this party."

"Are you talking about the fall fest?"

"See I knew you were smart." Jo stared at him, she narrowed her eyes at him suspicious.

"What about Fall Fest?" She asked and she came closer.

"I think it would be easier to go if I went with someone else, you know take some of the edge off." She had heard those words in a similar sentence before.

"Ask Lacey." Her response was simple and dismissive, she heard a little sound of frustration from him as he scooted closer.

"Come on Jo" He pleaded, biting the inside of her lip Jo stared at him. God did he have to smell so good?! He had to know that getting that close to her weakened her. "Please go with me to Fall Fest."

She was seriously tempted to say yes, inhaling that sweet rain fall scent of his she shook her head. "I can't" She could see his face fall. "I already promised Rico I'd help him out with his Pi pies." She smiled at him, Danny arched an eyebrow.

"That's..punny."

"Its horrible." She laughed, and he laughed too. "I told him it was terrible but you can't say that to the rest of the mathlete's, they would die from the shame."

"I can always help out." Danny suggested. Debating it over silently Jo sighed, "Does that mean yes"

"Yes." resigned she rested her head on her hand. "Yes Danny, fine." He smiled at her, he even reached over and placed a kiss on her cheek and she felt her heart stop. She loved him. So much.

They had spent the day at the Math Booth peacefully, Jo had somehow gotten inspired prior to going to the Math booth with Danny and even suggested she and Danny attend the fall formal. He had agreed. Everything was going smoothly until one of the residents of the town decided to get rather violent and physical going as far as to push Danny and forcing Chief Masterson to help him out.

Danny had backed out of the idea of going to the Formal and Jo decided it was best she also didn't go. She couldn't muster the courage to really go alone; but as she stared at her mother's crest fallen face and Danny's retreating form Jo decided she in fact did want to go.

So when she approached her mother with the dress in her hands, her mother hugged her in joy, tears of happiness began to fall from her face.

"Please don't make this weird." She pleaded as her mother pulled away and looked at her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder she began the journey home with her daughter.

"You're going to look stunning Jo." she cooed and Jo smiled.

She had been right. The green aqua dress had complimented her pale skin and ocean blue eyes. Before Jo had know it, she was dolled up and knocking on Danny's door convincing him to go with her to the formal and they did, together they went to the formal.

"I thought you were mad at me." He said as they walked the streets towards the center of town. Jo sighed and looked forward.

"I am." her voice carried a playful tone but Danny knew she was serious. "I'm hurt more than anything Danny." She confessed to him. "You made it sound like you hated me."

"I don't." He said grabbing hold of her hand and stopping her. "I don't hate you Jo."

"Then why did you say the things you said Danny?" She searched his eyes as he grew silent. "Why did you tell Lacey I was a burden to you?"

"I meant knowing that I ruined your life was a burden to me." she was silent "What I mean that you're the little sister I have to take care of...I feel responsible Jo, I feel like I owe you something."

"You do."

"I know...I owe you five years of sanity. I owe you a life time of nightmares." He sighed. "Jo I really am sorry for hurting you..."

"Yeah, I know." she smiled at him and they continued towards the festival.

It was like a dream, laughing, dancing, a fairytale like date that she was on with the one person she loved. Everything seemed perfect as if nothing could possibly go wrong, until Danny got the text that had him leaving her alone at the festival. His mother, he had explained.

"I'll meet you at the Diner" he had announced as he rushed off.

She didn't think to follow him at first, even had a small fight with Rico about she didn't even know what. So why she suddenly decided to follow in the direction Danny had run off towards she didn't know.

They were kissing.

Her heart was breaking into a million pieces. She had meant to go to the diner, she really had. She had meant to go down the path Danny had run off in and head towards the Diner, she had not meant to accidentally stumble upon Danny and Lacey kissing.

The tears came before she could stop them.

Turning away from them she headed towards the diner, curious as to whether he would ditch her or really come. She sat alone for a good fifteen minutes before Danny walked in through the door, followed by Lacey. It made no sense to her why she smiled to herself as they approached her, the way Danny smiled so brilliantly at her as he guided Lacey towards the table; or why she decided at that one moment that she was willing to do anything to help Danny.

Fast forward several hours later and there she was watching as Tyler Daly walked away. Tyler the brother of Phoebe who seemed to know more than she let on about Regina's murder. She had decided last night that she needed to get close to either Phoebe or Sarita. As Sarita as absolutely out of the question, Jo's best option was Phoebe; However, suddenly wanting to be friends with Phoebe would be just as suspicious so she formulated a plan.

If she couldn't get close to Phoebe by being her friend, she might as well get close to Phoebe by getting close to her brother first.

She just didn't believe it actually worked.

When she had decided the night before she was willing to do anything to help Danny, that even meant dating someone she didn't love in order to prove his innocence.

As it turns out, her greatest weakness was also her greatest strength.
