Part 3 - Ella's POV
The three girls padded barefoot into the changing rooms.
Ella felt a deep knot of excitement in her chest.
She had helped Lila tie up a boy before, but not at school.
It would be so fun!
They peeked out of the changing rooms and Lila took an intake of breath.
"Ah," she said. "This will make things more difficult."
Standing outside, as they had hoped, was Bill.
Unfortunately, he was not alone - he was with a friend that all three of the girls recognised.
Ella groaned. "Why did Jon have to be there?"
Lila gave a snort of disgust. "Why he's even friends with that jerk is beyond me. He could do so much better." She paused. "Ok, Ella, you know Jon the best. I want you to distract him. We'll take care of Bill. When we're ready for you to join us, I'll send Lena to fetch you."
Ella nodded. "Ok, but don't forget about me. I don't want to miss the fun!"
She walked out of the changing rooms and smiled at the two boys.
Instantly, Bill's eyes began to walk up her bare legs.
Ella tried to contain her disgust. She managed, but only just.
She gave Jon a dazzling smile. "Hey, Jon, uh, mind if we have a word?"
Jon smiled. "Sure thing, Ella." He looked at Bill apologetically. "Sorry, dude. Do you mind?"
Bill, still looking at Ella's legs, waved his hand. "Sure, it's ok. Don't worry about me."
Ella led Jon to a bench and sat down, crossing one leg over the other.
She knew she had to keep Jon's eyes on her.
She looked over his shoulder and saw Lila and Lena creeping up behind Bill.
"Uh, Jon, I wanted to talk to you about Lila."
"Lila?" Jon's eyes were out on stalks. Despite herself, Ella grinned. Jon was mad for her friend, and if she was talking about her, she'd definitely have his attention.
"Yeah. You like her, right?"
Jon rolled his eyes. "Of course I do, Ella. I'm in love with her."
Ella smiled sweetly and touched his arm. "I just wanted you to know that I'm here for you if you want help getting her."
She glanced over Jon's shoulder again and saw her two friends dragging a struggling Bill into the changing rooms.
Jon suddenly hugged her.
"What was that for?" she asked, blushing.
"Just being here for me, I guess," he replied.
Ella laughed, and saw Lena approaching. "Listen, Jon, if you want to woo Lila, meet me at my house this Friday. I'll give you some lessons. How does that sound?"
Jon grinned. "Thanks, Ella. You're a great friend."
"I'm the BEST friend."
Lena approached them.
"Sorry, Jon, but I'm gonna have to steal Ella from you. We need her in the gym."
"That's fine," Jon replied. "We were finished anyway. See you ladies later."
As he walked away, humming happily, the two girls watched him.
"He's so nice," Lena said quietly. "So unlike his friend."
"Yeah," Ella agreed. "Lila totally deserves a guy like him."
Lena grinned. "Come on, enough about him. We have a boy to torture!"
