The Bet {Editing}

Chapter 4-Do You Like Him?

"Huh?"

"How long have you been zoned for?" He chuckles.

I clear my throat before I decide to respond.

"Wait," Brad puts his hand up. "Don't tell me you've been looking at the nerd this whole time?"

"Do you always have to be a dick?" I glare at him.

"Not always. But mostly." He chuckles.

"Let me get this straight." Maia jumps in. "You have the hottest girl in school in front of you and you've been looking at that loser the whole time?" She scuffs.

"Yes. This WHOLE time." I get close to her face. "Excuse me, I have a bet to win." I walk through them.

What did I see in her again? I can't even remember. Besides the great sex, I'm not so sure. And to think I actually liked her.

Ha!

Joke of the century.

Having to apologize and make it up to Laura as well as tell Calum about the bet.

It was crystal clear that today was going to be a long day.

~Lunch Time

I sit at my usual spot, alone in the corner. Like in class. I take my seat getting out my favorite book ever. Harry Potter!

This is like my 50th time reading this! But it's SO good. After a while of reading my book I feel someone sit next to me.

"Hey." A Latina girl says setting her stuff down.

"Um. Hi?" I put my book down.

"So what's your name?" She asks eating a French fry.

"Laura." I take a sip of my Kool-Aid.

"I'm Raini I'm new here." She says giving me a piece of paper.

"What's this?" I look at her.

"My number. I figured we could be friends, since it doesn't look you have any and I don't either." She smiles sweetly.

I don't argue with her because, well... it is true. I don't have any friends. Except Ro-. Actually nope I don't have any friends.

As we continue to eat and learn about each other, a redhead comes over.

What is this? Talk to Laura day? Am I being pranked?

I swear I'm always being pranked.

I'm prepared for Leroy to show up any minute now.

If I'm lucky maybe I can put slime down his pants.

"Hey um, Laura right?" He questions pointing to me.

"Yes? May I help you?"

"I'm Calum." He says sitting next to me.

"You don't know him do you?" Raini turns to me.

"Not not really." I turn to her.

"I'm Ross' best friend." He whispers in my ear.

Raini eyes us probably wondering what he just said.
