The Bet

Prologue

Jack Davis was sitting in some ordinary, good café, on some ordinary, good day, with some ordinary, good friends. They were having some ordinary, good conversations about some ordinary, good people that they know from school. Though, you can scratch the good part from the conversation as soon as his friend, Liam, opened his mouth.

"Yo, Jack. I've heard that the skinny chick from Chemistry has a major crush on you," Liam said.

Jack chuckled. "Lori Wilson? She's only a few steps away from being a robot, so I don't really think that's true."

"Actually, it's true. I've heard it from Serena," Jack's other friend, Seth, said. Seth gets all kinds of gossip from his twin sister, Serena. "But yeah, it might seem hard to believe because she only has one friend and she doesn't react to anything or show any emotions whatsoever."

"Hey, has anyone noticed that being emotionless isn't the only thing she shares with robots?" Jack's third friend, Griff, said.

"Yeah. Like robots, she doesn't eat or drink anything," Jack answered.

"I've never seen her eat or drink anything either," Seth agreed.

A large, evil smile spread on Liam's face. The three other boys worriedly yet curiously stared at him, knowing that something bad is about to happen. Liam never smiles like that, unless he's got a whole, terrible plan fully plotted out in his brain.

Liam's smile widened. "Jack, since you were apparently able to charm your way through the cold bitch's heart, I have a proposition to make," Liam said, a combination of mischief and seriousness lacing his voice.

Jack stiffened. "What are you trying to get at?"

"Let's make a bet. If you were able to make her gain 100lbs, you'd getting 20,000$ from me. Your deadline is July 30," Liam said. Liam was filthy rich, so he was always throwing his money around like that.

"And if I don't?" Jack asked.

"You get to be my personal slave for twenty days. How does that sound?"

Jack's mind wandered to all of the stuff he'd do with such a huge amount of money. "It's on," he finally answered.

I decided that Russell's Revenge wasn't going to work out, so now I'm starting a new story. What do you guys think so far? I'll try successfully updating every now and then, because I have tons of inspiration for this story.
