New Beginnings

Chapter 25: Putting The Plan Into Action

Ava's POV

Lizzie, Jasper, and I were currently brainstorming ideas to get Mr. Brey away from Mia. Some of the ideas were okay, others were too complicated. I was stuffing my face with the Hot Cheetos Jasper bought for me. Suddenly Lizzie said, "Wait guys! I came up with the perfect idea!"

I had a mouthful of chips in my mouth, and muffled a "What?"

"Okay. But Jasper might not like it since he acts like you're his kid." Lizzie said bluntly. Jasper rolled his eyes, while I began laughing. I mean it was true.

"Whatever, just say it." Jasper said.

"Okay!" Lizzie clapped her hands together, "So we have Ava lure Alex into her house for a 'tutor session'  and seeing as he's a creepy dude, he's probably gonna try something. So then we record the whole thing, and BOOM! We have him jailed and away from Mia."

"What? No! Too dangerous." Jasper said immediately shutting the idea down. But that was a good way to have him gone forever, and away from Mia. 

"I can't believe i'm saying this, but i'll do it." I said surprising myself with my answer.

"Ava- what? No!" Jasper said flabbergasted.

"C'mon Jasp! It's the only way we can catch him without me getting in trouble for it!" I said tugging on his arm.

"Ugh, fine. But we can't have things escalate too far." Jasper said annoyed.

"We won't! I'm not letting my bestie get her v-card taken away!" Lizzie said furrowing her eyebrows. Jasper fidgeted uncomfortably, and I couldn't help but laugh at his sudden discomfort.

"Okay, but we aren't letting anyone else know! Then our plan might get ruined." I said putting my head on Lizzie's shoulder.

"Ok, so I think I should attach a mic to you, and I could hide outside in the bushes. You could have your phone hidden recording." Lizzie said jotting this down in her notepad. She really did take her spy thing seriously.

"Wait, what about me?" Jasper said offended. 

"Are you gonna even be in town still? Lizzie said wagging her finger in his face.

"I might be, when are we planning on doing this?" Jasper questioned.

"Probably Friday. So like tomorrow." Lizzie said jotting that down as well. "So Ava, workup your charm 3 notches, and be flirty. K?" 

"Aye aye cap'n!" I saluted her.

"I leave Saturday, so I'll be there. Have me as designated 911 caller." Jasper said tapping Lizzie's notebook. I'd finally get Alex behind bars and away from Mia forever. Sure, it'd require some uncomfortable things, but it would be worth it in the end. Mia would finally speak to me, and everything would go back to normal. Well, not everything. Chase was still absent from my life.

I got up the next morning really early. I needed to have everything perfect in order to have Alex agree to coming over to my house. I curled my long brown hair, applied a winged eyeliner, and a red lipstick. I went over to my closet, and picked out a tight striped halter neck, and a body con skirt that matched. I put on my white trainers, and took a peak at the mirror. I sort of felt like Trish. Yuck, never dressing like this ever again.
