Thank you for @dreamsmadereal who already edited this chapter for me. And for @HerSecretLove to make the improvement.  It really looks good. 

PART 2 : SEAN DONELL

Brad had to be kidding. I preferred to die first, rather than make out with that weird guy. We were in the same math class and the guy was a genius, but that’s not what bothered me about him. What bothered me about him was that on the first day of school, he called me a whore. Because of him, the whole school decided that I was no longer Deanne Lively, instead, I was just “whore” for three months. Stupid guy. That was only because I had hugged the wrong guy. I saw his back and thought he was someone else, so I hugged him while saying "good morning, darling." It was an honest mistake. A mistake that people saw and ended up laughing at my expense. I wanted to disappear. I tried to validate the situation, explain how I thought he was a friend but all he said was  "Go away, and don't you ever talk to me again, bitch."

Bitch? Come on, I had no idea that I did an unforgiving mistake. It’s a common thing that happens to everyone, not just me. I haven’t talked to him since then. However, I always tried to find other ways to meet him or bump into him because I had no idea why he hated me that much and I honestly wanted to know. Now, Brad wanted me to make out with Sean. I felt like dying.  Well, I guess he would be kind of good looking if he threw away his thick glasses but I don't care for that at all. I never failed in a bet, and I never gave up. I loved a good challenge and so does Brad but I wondered if maybe I should surrender, just this one time. I whisked those thoughts away as I entered my first class.

"Hey darling, what happened to your face? Did something happen?" Cas asked me as I sat down next to her.

"Do you know what Brad asked me to do? Just because he won last night’s game? He wants me to make out with that fucking nerd,"

"Who?"

"Sean Donnell. Who else do you think? He better kill me."

My best friend laughed so hard until tears ran down her cheeks.  "Sorry, sorry. Are you kidding me?"

I didn't answer, feeling the pairs of eyes staring at us. I try to find who they belonged to. They were Sean's.  When he noticed I caught him staring, he looked away. His eyes glancing at the field outside. Damn. I hated him so much. I absolutely wanted to tell Brad that I give up. I don’t care what the consequences will be. Of course, I never thought he would pop the question.

"What? Marry you? Damn Brad, what are you thinking of?"  I asked him shocked and confused in the same time.

He smiled and I shook my head. 

"You’re kidding. I won't do that" It had to be some kind of joke. The consequence of giving up on the challenge was to marry him? He knew exactly how I felt about marriage. He knew what happened to my parents. My parents had been divorced since few years ago. Their constant fighting while married somehow  made me like this.  I promised myself that I’d never get into a serious relationship. 

"Never been this serious in my whole life." He answered seriously.

I wanted to cry. "Why, Brad? You know me well. You know what I think about marriage. Why?"

"I love you. That's all. I want you to be mine. Only mine. Not only in body, but also in soul. I want you. That's why if you give up, you will marry me, baby. Your choice either way but you should know that I’m never going to hurt you. I’m only a bit selfish."

"Brad, you know I can't. You know I don't want to get married, at least not for a few years. The only way that will happen is if I change my mind and we’re just in high school…you are my best friend."

"I'm sorry. I am your best friend and no matter what happens, I will always be your best friend. Don't worry, just…" He hugged me. I scanned his eyes, waiting for the next statement.

"Just make sure to prove it when you’re making out with that jerk. If you don't want to marry me, that’s what you have to do.”  Again he gave that evil smile.

"We’ll just have to wait and see if that fucking jerk is worth my time." Which meant that starting from right now, I had to find a way to make him change. That jerk.
