Nat sat there, breathing heavily and rigidly as she shakily held up her cellphone. The number on the paper seemed to glare in bold red. Nat had never been on a date before, and know she was setting one up, with a CHEERLEADER! A CHEERLEADER!
'M-Maybe I'll be lucky and she'll be busy...' the tomboy thought while her breaths grew heavier.
Her hands shook like jello as she tapped the numbers and listened to her phone hum. Suddenly, the busty blonde picked up.
"Hello?" Jenny asked.
"H-Hey Jenny, how's it shakin'?" Nat asked like a nervous spaz.
Jenny giggled and said , "Fine as always, cutie."
Nat blushed extremely hard at being called a "cutie".
The tomboy sputtered "Uh... hehe... yeah... look, I was wondering... maybe we could... do you wanna....?"
"Go on a date? Sure!" the cheerleader chirped.
"Yeah, I'll take you to your favorite place." Nat calmly said.
She jolted as Jenny squealed on the other side of the line.
"OMIGOSH! OMIGOSH! OMIGOSH! EEEEEEEEEEEE! Shelby's?! I'm there sweetie! Just tell me when it is!" Jenny excitedly chattered while bouncing around.
"Eight fourty-five pm, next tuesday." Nat calmly said.
"Done!" Jenny squealed while hanging up.
"Well, that was... uh.... smooth?" Nat asked herself.
'No, not really...' she thought.

"Shelby's?! Do yah know how expensive that place is?!" Finster shouted after Nat told her about her date call.
"Nooooooo... how expensive are we talking here?" the tomboy asked.
"I was at that place with Jenny last week, I still have the check." Finster's girlfriend said as she pulled out the check.
Nat's jaw hit the floor.
"A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR TWO PEOPLE?!" she shouted, "I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF CASH! WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!"
From behind the door, a student listened in intently.
As Nat walked to her room, the student got in her way.
"I heard about your... money problem... and I have your solution, BUT you must do exactly as I say!" the girl said.
"ANYTHING! ANYTHING!" Nat pleaded pathetically.
Soon, Nat would find herself....
