The Bet

Chapter 1

"Mandy!" Claire hugged me and I chuckled.

"Can't believe that we're graduating, time flies so fast!" She squealed but then she looked at me sadly.

"I know." I sighed.

"We're graduating girls!" Yasmine said as she put her hands up and she hugged us both.

"Felt weird but.. at the same time, felt.. happy." I said.

"I'm freaking happy! I'm sick of highschool, can't wait for college!" Yasmine said as she pulled away.

"Wanna hangout after this?" Claire asked.

"How about tomorrow? I have a date." I winked at the girls.

"What a lucky man.." Yasmine said sarcasticly.

As a 18 year old, I can consider myself lucky. I have a really good and fun highschool life. I have a great boyfriend, Jordan. I have great friends. I really can't wait to explore college with my friends and Jordan, I felt good this time!

Me and Jordan got into a relationship recently, I can say it's been 5 weeks or 6 weeks but I've been admiring him since forever. He got the looks, the muscular body and the brain too. He's perfect and not to mention, he's the greatest basketball player at our school. He's my first love and the only person that gives me confidencez

"Ever since you got him, you forget about us." Claire said and I know she's joking. She's happy for me.

"It's not like that.."

"We know." Yasmine said and she chuckled.

"Speaking of the devil.." Claire said and I turned to where she pointed. Jordan walked towards us and I smiled before running towards him.

"Hey babe." I said as I hugged him.

"Hey to you too.." He said and he gave me a sweet kiss on my lips.

"Are you excited?" I asked and he looked around.

"Yeah." He said in a cold tone.

That's the thing about Jordan. He has this bipolar side to him. He can be sweet one second and then he can be cold after that. I don't get it but I tried my best to understand him. Nobody's perfect.

"Are we still up for the date after this?" I asked and he looked down to me raising his ryebrows.

"Please tell me that you remember.." I sighed and Jordan looked confused.

"Yeah, I remember." I doubted that. I looked down to his tie and it's a little bit messy.

"Let me." I said before taking it off and putting it back properly.

"So are you still going to take business major?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy that you decided to take the major that you like."

"Yeah." He said in a cold tone.

"Mandy!" I turned to see Greg and I hugged him. Greg is Jordan's friend but I'm quite close to him. We both have a lot of similarities.

"How are you feeling? Excited?" He asked.

"Well.. I am. How about you?"

"Excited but not ready to leave highschool." He said as he pulled away. I looked behind Greg, I excused myself to go to the toilet.

"Babe, I'll go to the toilet first. Don't leave me.." I said and Jordan nodded. I walked to the toilet to do my business and when I walked out. I heard another voice beside Greg and Jordan. I don't know why I'm taking a few steps back when I can just walk out there.

"You won the bet, Carlson." Wait what? What bet?

"Of course, it was the easiest bet. She fell for me too fast." Jordan said and that's when it hit me. I was his bet and I did fall for him so fast.

"So what will you do now?" Greg asked. I can't believe Greg knew about this.

"Of course I have to break up with her. I'll do it tonight." Jordan said in his cold tone but there's a hint of mockery there.

"Are you sure? You don't have any feelings for her." Greg asked.

"Yes, I'm sure and no, I don't have any feelings for her. Why would I like a clingy girl like that?" Can't believe he just said that.

"I can have her then?" The other guy asked. I can say that my heart felt like it has been stab with hundreds of knives.

"Go ahead, I don't care. You can use her." Jordan said without any emotion and that's where my heart breaks. Thank God that the toilet have another way out, I walked out to find Claire and Yasmine. They sensed something wrong but I don't want to tell them just yet.

I have to be strong and enjoy my last moments in highschool. My parents are here, I don't want them to see me crying stupidly because of some idiot guy.

After the graduation ceremony, there's an after party. I tried to distract myself from him, Jordan doesn't seem mind that I'm not with him. Of course, he only used me. I told Claire and Yasmine everything and they were shocked.

They never thought Jordan would be someone who do something like that. I decided not to see him that night and blocked him. I went home and I told my parents that I wanted to go to college abroad. They were surprised but happy at the same time because they wanted me to go out to experience a fun life.

He was my first love but it ended tragic bad. I fell for the wrong person and I swore that it will never happen again.

"I'll hate you forever, Jordan."
