Tom looked at me like I'd sprouted another head. &quot;Jordan, are you _insane_? I could never do that. Bros before hoes and all that. Dude, I mean - that's the girl _you_ like!&quot; The plan was beginning to coalesce in my mind, the facets fitting into place. It was brilliant if I do say so myself. I ignored Tom as he continued sputtering his denials, and then I held up one hand, silencing him. &quot;Tom, like I said, I'm giving up on romance. This is revenge, pure and simple. And wouldn't you like to see Mendez's face when he finds out you've scored with Jodi?&quot; A mischievous glint I knew well flashed in his blue eyes. I knew then that he was convinced, at least partly so. It would be easy bringing him over to my way of thinking now. I warmed up to my subject, leaning forward. &quot;This isn't just to get back at Jodi for all those times she stood me up -&quot; &quot;Heh, like the time you waited _12 hours_ for her!&quot; &quot;Er, yeah, right. But it's not just her. It's all those girls who broke our hearts, man. It's time for payback.&quot; 2008-05-02T18:49:35Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/28008 <p>This is getting good! * rushes to sequel *</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28008?basename=60041 2008-05-02T18:49:35Z NightMaiden http://ficlets.com/authors/user_7538 <p>This is one of the first points where authors <em>playfully</em> poked fun at certain details in each other&#8217;s contributions to the series. And I think it made for a whole lot &#8216;a fun. (i.e. making fun of the whole waiting for the girl 12 hours thing).</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28008?basename=58844 2008-04-26T05:59:14Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace <p>Aditi, the narrator is a male named Jordan who wants to get back at Mendez and Jodi because they&#8217;ve been playing mind games with him.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28008?basename=57545 2008-04-20T13:17:29Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace <p>Wait, I&#8217;m confused. I thought that the narrator was female and Tom was her friend, and she wanted to get back at Mendez (who I also though was male) who was her ex, and so in order to do that she wanted Tom to steal Jodi from Mendez.. oh, w/e. It&#8217;s a great story either way. Good job on it. I may write a sequel to this one myself.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28008?basename=57503 2008-04-20T03:21:54Z Aditi Broota http://ficlets.com/authors/arrozconpollo <p>I&#8217;ve been gone all day, so I&#8217;m just discovering this. Brilliant. <em>This is revenge, pure and simple.</em> Great line. And I love the getting back at all the girls who broke our hearts through this act of revenge!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28008?basename=57480 2008-04-20T00:27:43Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace <p>Devious, and I really liked the reminder of how doofy he had been&#8230;I mean, waiting 12 hours for girl to show up? Funny how it kind of takes the wind out of his sails for a sec.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28008?basename=57433 2008-04-19T17:14:33Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
