Guys and Dolls

School was dreadful and the day wasn't even half over yet, there was no sign of Rory and Benny had been looking for the reversal spell all night.

"This.." I air-traced Benny's face, "better be your good news face!" I preached

"Ok, I am 99.9% sure that I've found the right spell."

"Okay let's do it then doofus!" I exclaimed

"But! I can't be sure how Jane pronounced it. She had to cast the reversal spell herself" Benny said

"Wonderful, and my parents?"

I forgot that Ethan's parents were newly made dolls

"They should revert back to normal once the spell has been reversed"

"Good. Then all we have to do is find a life-sized killer fashion doll and... bring her down. No problemo!" his head swivelled towards me, "Have you talked to Rory?"

"He didn't show up last night but he sent a text saying he was busy helping the less fortunate, whatever that meant"

"Yeah, he texted me saying he was busy hanging out with his new girlfriend" Benny added

"Oh, he's mad we didn't let him in last night"

"Uh, we?" I butted in "You mean you" Ethan shrugged his shoulders in guilt just as the bell rang and I didn't know about them but I did not want to be late to Mr. Richardson's. As I was walking down the hallways, trying to dodge the principal and his late slips, I heard a familiar voice.

"You know lots of stuff. I like you" It was Debbie.

"You smell like a Rubik's Cube," Rory whispered. Was she the apparent girlfriend? Or the less fortunate? Or both?

It was silent now. I'd looked around the corner of the lockers to see what they were doing and I wished I didn't. Debbie kissed him, like properly. I wasn't jealous? Was I? I mean I only think I like him, I don't really.

I ran to class in the opposite direction, texting Ethan and Benny on the way about what I saw. But, obviously, they didn't believe me.

Finally, the bell had rang.

"If you don't believe me, ask him yourself" I pointed to the blonde who stood in the hallway near our class.

"Hey, Rory," Ethan started. "We know you're made about last night but-"

"Mad?" He cut Ethan off "How could I be mad? Last night was awesome! It's not everyday you get to rescue a fair maiden from your clutches, especially one who's so into me!"

"Wait what?"

"Told you so" my voice rang out in a sing-songy way.

"You let Debbie out?" Rory nodded at this comment "Why would you do that!" Ethan whisper yelled

"Because she's hot!"

"Dude, she's a doll!" Benny added, leaving Rory confused "I mean literally a doll."

"Ror, she's made of plastic"

"Yeah, all the hottest girls are! Not you obviously!" he looked over at me, was that a normal complement or a backhanded one?

"Rory, get this through your thick vampire skull, she's not human!" Ethan shouts

"Are you guys talking about me?" A robotic voice spoke out from behind Ethan, us jumping in fright.

Rory smiled "There's my girl! How'd it go with Principal Hicks?"

"Oh him, he was such a doll!"

Her play on words made my eyes widen, nudging Benny and Ethan to see if they got it too.

"Hi guys! Did you miss me?" She went to step forwards to hug us but we all stepped back, jumping behind Rory, "Jumpy much?"

"Flesh, blood, more than eight points of articulation- all things I intend to keep, thank you!" Benny exclaimed

"You're coming with us Debbie" Ethan demanded, he seemed so forceful and yet still made me the one to go grab her.

"Over my undead body!" Rory gasped and we all rolled our eyes, practically in sync

"Ror listen, she's dangerous."

"Yeah well, so am I, so... back off!" Rory hissed, quite literally, I copied his actions and his eyes went wide at that.

"Sarah." The two boys gave each other a look, I can never understand what it means.

"So it's settled, you'll kick Debbie's sorry plastic butt" Benny said making Sarah practically cackle at the remark."

"What! No, I never said that."

"Oh come on!" Ethan begged "She's got Rory wrapped around her little finger"

"Can't believe he got a girlfriend before me.." Benny mumbled

"Look, we have to find a way to split them up...or someone"

"Nice" Benny smiles to his friend

"Ok, Kirk and Spock do you wanna fill us two ladies in on this little mind meld?"

The boys turned their heads facing me, Sarah caught on and did the same.

"You can think again"

"Oh come on Willow! Erica definitely won't do it so you're our best shot!"

//

I can't believe I was doing this, trying to make my possible crush jealous enough to leave another girl alone. I felt like I was stuck in a rom-com and not the funny ones like the one with Rebel Wilson.

"Well hello, handsome" my flirting skills were horrible, it would've been easier to pay Erica to do this.

He looked around aimlessly, god this was gonna be difficult. "You, silly" I hate myself, "So, I was thinking, considering we share the same taste in food, we could go out for dinner sometime?"

"Nah, I don't think so"

"Great, so just ditch the third wheel here and... wait what?" It had only just hit me with what he'd actually said.

"The Rorster's found his soulmate" he continued to play with her hands, how could he seriously not have realised she's made of plastic by now.

Debby did an evil wave as I walked off the the closest bathroom. This was a stupid idea, luckily I had a better one. I had hidden in the end stall, waiting for her to follow me. A loud bang had hit the wall and then another of her kicking open the first stall.

"Looking for me?" I wasted no time biting into her neck, what I'd forgotten is that the plastic probably wasn't easy to bite through "Ow! I think you bent my fangs." My hands wrapped around her shoulders, throwing her back and forth into the wall, "Barbie Brat!" My legs elongated, kicking her into the stall, face first,

"You wanna play?" Her voice pitch was now annoyingly high and her face was ripped, showing the plastic underneath. "Fine. Let's play!"

Her hands gripped my throat tightly, I was unable to move and that's when everything went black

"Rory! I need your help!" Debby pleaded, her face now torn

"Ah! That's... wow that's just-"

"The one who made me. She can fix me. You must take me to her!" Debby demanded

"Listen, we had a good run, but I think we should see other faces- people! I meant people. I need to look for Willow! Later!"

"No call from Willow?" Ethan asked "Guess she bailed"

"No way!" Sarah denied "This is about Rory and if you couldn't tell they kinda have a thing for each other, plus she always comes through for us!"

"Speaking of" Sarah pointed out the fast head of blonde going down the hallway

"Rory! Where's Debbie?!" Ethan yelled

"Beats me. She went looking for the 'one who made her'. You guys were right. That girl is wack. Also, tell 'Low I'm looking for her?" The group nodded and Rory smiled sadly before walking away.

"The one who made her? Who-" It had then hit him who Debbie was talking about, "Jane!" Ethan exclaimed "She's looking for Jane! I'm supposed to pick her up after school"

"Give me the keys. I'll pick up Jane and meet you there" Sarah suggested before speeding off.

"Hey guys.." Erica slowly approached the two. "You said that this Debbie girl is turning people into dolls, right?"

Ethan nodded, leading to Erica pulling out a doll from behind her.

"Is that?" Benny began

"Willow?" Ethan exclaimed, finishing Benny's sentence

"Found her in sink down the hall"

"We need to get to your house, now!"

I woke up to my head pounding, my eyes were adjusting to pure darkness and I was surrounded by hoodies. Was I in Ethan's closet?

"Are you ok Ethan?" I heard Jane say

"Yeah. Thanks Jane" Ethan groaned as I got out

"How'd I get here?" I asked as Sarah walked in rubbing her head in pain. My eyes landed on Ethan dressed as Dazzle Dan, Debbie's husband "And what happened to you?"

"Nice hair" Sarah added

"Why are we in our clothes?" Ethan's dad questioned

"Why are we in Ethan's bed?" his Mum continued

"Have fun explaining this" I laughed, I would've flew or sped run home but my head was spinning and I was not in the mood for motion sickness.
