Introduction
At her witts end, she devised a plan - She quickly logged onto craigslist and posted an ad, "$500 to the guy who can tame my gorgeous daughter!" She went on to explain she would need to be motivated and given plenty of attention.
He is the guy who responded, cute, popular, fun, on the track to going somewhere in life. He was the guy who had everything she wanted for her daughter. So it was set - a 'random' meeting while she was at work. Hopefully, she would fall for him and if not the guy makes $50 either way. If everything worked out as planned, in 6 months she would be on her way to college. She will want to do good for him, she will want to change... but nothing ever goes according to plan.

He skimmed over the ad which was a mother, asking for help with her daughter who was out of control with partying, drinking and even some drugs. He figured, "How hard could it be? Get the girl to fall for you and then make her stop. Even if it doesn't work.. I make $50." He replied to the ad and figured it was just someone joking around and he'd never heard back.
He heard back almost instantly from the girls mother. Her name was Jessica and she attached a picture. The girl really was gorgeous. He talked with her mother for an hour or two about her daughters interests and about how he'd get paid etc. They devised a plan that he would go into her work while she was there the following day and hit on her daughter to try and get the process started. That night he went to bed, stoked he would be making an easy $500.

The next morning he woke up and went to school, excited the entire day about meeting Jessica that afternoon. He would go in, order coffee, sweet talk her a little bit and hopefully get her to go out on a date with him. That was phase one. When school ended he got into his car and sped over to the coffee shop. He took one of his books with him so he could do some homework and went inside. He immediately spotted her due to her bright red hair and sexy eyes. There was no going back now.
He walked up to the counter and waited to order a drink. When he got up to the counter he ordered a cappuccino and started to talk her up, asking her about her day. Though she responded it didn't seem like it was going anywhere promising. Before he went to settle into a booth and do some studying he wrote his number down, "I'd love to talk to you more.. why don't you call me sometime?" He offered sliding his number across the counter to her. "I'm Christopher."

She went into the kitchen for a quick snack when her mom came in "Oh Jessica good your up, I was a just wondering why you came in six in the morning." her mom said a bit of nervousness and concern in her voice.
Jessica scoffed "Because I went to a party and got wasted." her mother looked stunned but it was soon gone and she left the room. Really? What did she think she was doing all night? Playing with Barbies? Yeah like that'll ever happen again. she grabbed a aspirin and took a sip of water so it would go down. She grabbed her keys and to her beat up Chevy truck.
When she was at work it was boring as usual and she had to put a fake smile on her face. She got done serving a old cranky lady before the old lady left Jessica said under her breath "What crawled up your ass and didn't die?" the old lady spun on her but Jessica ignored her glare. Then a cute boy came and how her days was. What a loser. Who askeds about someones day? she thought to herself. Jessica was taken back when he gave her his number she smiled "Christopher, i'm Jessica and I don't want your number." she said in a kind sarcastic tone while sliding the number back "Sorry." she said before turning around for another order.

He caught himself glancing over a time or two to see if she was looking over at him, but each time he wasn't. He started to feel that $500 quickly slip out of his hands and started to feel a little let down, so he took matters into his own hands. He closed his books and walked back up to the counter, "Excuse me, Jessica... I will give you $20 to go out on a date with me." He said leaning over and giving her his best look to convince her into a date. "Just one date.. you make $20." He said.

The old lady looked at her with disapproval "My coffee was cold and didn't have creamer or suger in it." the lady said. But the old lady didn't expect the girl to grab the cup and drink the whole thing dry.
Jessica set the cup down in front of her "Taste fine to me." she said. The old lady was going to reply but that Christopher kid came back ans said "Excuse me, Jessica... I will give you $20 to go out on a date with me." He said leaning over and giving her his best look to convince her into a date. "Just one date.. you make $20." He said. Jessica looked at him he wasn't bad looking, actually he was hot. She sighed "Okay I will on a date with you, but you have to pay." she said and looked back at the old lady who was still standing there Jessica glared at her "Take a pictur it'll last longer." she said. The old lady opened her mouth with disbelief and walked out. Jessica looked back to Christopher "So tell me why do you want to go on a date with me?" she asked.

"Kidding, Kidding. I'm sorry." He said knowing that being sarcastic probably wouldn't get him on her good side. "I just think that you're pretty." He said complimenting her again. "Hopefully we can get to know each other. Give me a call later." He said then headed over to the booth, grabbing his books and walking out of the coffee shop.
He headed home dropping his books into his room then heading back downstairs waiting for his little brothers to get home from school. They ran off the bus and were immediately wrestling over one thing or another . He broke them up as they got to the door and put a movie on for them, putting them into their normal afternoon trance. He waited around hoping that he'd hear from Jessica.

It was about an hour she made it home in one piece. She opened the door to find her mom "Hello Jess how was work?" she asked.
Jessica decided to tell her mom about the day "Well it was good except for the fact that a old hag kept bothering me, it took all my will not shove that cup down her throat. And.... I met a boy named Christopher." she said a little smile spreading across her lips.
Her smiled brightly "Christopher sounds nice. So tell me what do you think of him? Is he nice? Is he cute?" she asked. Jessica smiled "Well I rejected him at first buthe came back. So he said he'd give me $20 if i went on a date with him, so of course I said yes but he had to pay. Then he left." she said. "Oh and I have his number in my pocket." she said taking it out. Her mother was beaming shooed Jessica away.
Jessica was down stairs and grabbed the Vodka taking big gulps, she shook her head and made a face at the taste. She started digging around in her bag and found her cigarettes she took one out and lit it. Inhaling deeply she smiled to herself and took Christophers number out then she grabbed her cell phone and called him....

He looked down and saw a number he didn't recognize, most likely Jessica. He decided he'd better answer before it went to voicemail so he took a deep breath, got himself together, smiled and answered the phone, "Well.. I knew you couldn't resist calling me." He joked, praying it was her and he wasn't going to make an ass of himself.

Jessica's mom came down "JessicaI need your dirty clothes." she said.

When she was done he answered, "What about dinner and a movie Jessica.. or whatever you want to do. How about you pick the date?" He asked not sure what she would enjoy and wanting the date to go well.

She put Chris on speaker and set her cell phone down getting undressed. She put on a tight black tantop then a tight green shirt over it with a pair of jeans with a whole in the middle. She put on a new pair of socks and a pair of white hello kitty converse. She changer her makeup and put on green eyeshadow instead of pink. When she was done she grabbed her phone and took him of speaker "So when will this date happen?" she asked.

He really hoped she would, something about this challenge was fun and exciting to him. It was the thrill of the chase maybe, or maybe something else, that he really hadn't figured out yet.

She went down to her room and started rummaging for something to wear. She decided on a blue stripped tank top which showed off her curves, then a pair of blue shorts with the neon green shoes. She changed her make up to blue sparkly eye shadow and pink blush. She put on eyeliner but she didn't remeber the name. All she knew was that it made her eyes pop and more of a vivid green color. She smiled took a sip of vodka and had a cigarette and waited for Chris to call.

He took a quick shower and got out fixing his hair quickly and heading into his bedroom, throwing on some jeans and a long sleeve white thermal shirt, with a military style black jacket looking in the mirror again he sprayed some cologne on quickly and called Jess as he ran out of the house.
He said bye to his little brothers, grabbed his keys and when she answered, told her he just needed her address and he'd be there in 10 minutes. He was almost a little excited.

Her mom smiled "Oh good, I hope you have fun." she said. Jessica sighed and went back down stairs and finished offed the vodka now she had a slight buzz, and it felt great. She smiled to herself and started to dance in a slow circle humming a song to herself.

[OOC] From Spiraling to Swooning...
You may edit this first post as you see fit.
She was a wild girl who had a few but not many close friends. She had a lot of acquaintances. She lived to party, to get crazy, have a good time. She loved to drink, she almost always had a cigarette in her hand and occasionally she popped a few pills or did a line or two. She'd dropped out of high school, slept all day and partied all night. She was working, and supposedly working towards her GED but her mother was at her witts end, unsure what to do with her, not sure if she should kick her out or if she should let her live there and continue down her spiraling path.
At her witts end, she devised a plan - She quickly logged onto craigslist and posted an ad, "$500 to the guy who can tame my gorgeous daughter!" She went on to explain she would need to be motivated and given plenty of attention.
He is the guy who responded, cute, popular, fun, on the track to going somewhere in life. He was the guy who had everything she wanted for her daughter. So it was set - a 'random' meeting while she was at work. Hopefully, she would fall for him and if not the guy makes $50 either way. If everything worked out as planned, in 6 months she would be on her way to college. She will want to do good for him, she will want to change... but nothing ever goes according to plan.
Hoping for someone to play the GUY in this... let me know if you're interested by submitting a character :) - If desperately needed I will play the guy.
