That night, Saye and I had talked for one hour, placing both our heads together and creating The Plan. Her emotional power over people and my brains came together to make something I never imagined I would have been able to do alone.
"So," I had said that day, dipping my legs in the pool, "Let's go over it one last time."
"Phase One," Saye had started, leading me on.
"Side 1, I become Adrien's girlfriend. Side 2, you lead Ethan on."
"Right," she had agreed, smiling, "That's going to be easy as Adrien seems to like you more and breaking his heart in Phase Three will work perfectly since you won't have feelings for him. He's not human after all. On top of that, you're aromantic."
"What?" I had looked at her in shock, "I'm not!"
"Oh come on. You're 16 and you haven't even had one love interest."
I had looked the other way and folded my hands, "It's not compulsory to like someone. And even if I did, what makes you think I'll tell you?"
