Chapter 2
Erik
I left Kfed's room with a sense of accomplishment. Lila seemed…different, she wasn't swooning over guys she stayed focused, and looked at me like I was a real person not just some athlete and I really did want to get to know her better. She was adorable, with her big blue grey eyes, her dark brown hair, her tall stature, long eyelashes, pink lips, rosy cheeks, she wasn't anorexic either, but she wasn't fat. Pretty much the whole package.
I'm walking out of school when I run into my buddies Matt Josh and Kevin.
"Yo dude! What's good?" Kevin said to me as he reached for a pound. I bumped my fist to his, and Matt's and Josh's.
"Nothing much man, how bout you guys?"
"Ahh nothing man" Josh Said.
"Okay so listen dude we have a proposition for you," Matt said "we want to make a bet."
"Okay, sure, I'm all for a good bet" I was all ears.
"Alright dude," Kevin started, "Matt here thinks that ever since Lauren your game hasn't been… well there."
"What are you trying to say?" I wasn't following.
"Well dude," Matt tried rephrasing, "I don think you can get a girl to be honest." Wow, Matt's not one that beats around the bush.
"What are you talking about dude, I can get a girl, I can get any girl I want" this whole conversation was kind of pissing me off.
"Prove it" Josh jumped in, "I bet you $50 that you can't get a girl to fall in love with you."
"Make that $100" Kevin interrupted.
"$150" Matt exclaimed.
"If you get the girl to fall head over heals in love with you, then you get the money, if not you lose and you give us $150, in cash" Josh laid out the deal.
"Alright you guys are on" I was pumped because I gave Lila my number already and I really hoped she would call.
"Oooh, I got one more thing to add on," Kevin said, "If you make the girl fall in love with you, you get the $150, if you can keep the bet away from her for 2 and a half months, then I'll give you $50. But, if she finds out about the bet, if she's really in love with you she won't care, but if she does care, you get a literal slap to the face, and we get our money back."
"Man that's good" Josh and Matt said at the same time. I thought about this whole thing, I've never hurt a girl like that before, I would have to keep that secret really well. But I hate lying to people, but it's a bet I know I'll win. I'll do it.
"You're on guys" I sealed the deal with a handshake to all of them. This could go according to plan, or everything could go wrong, and all I could think about was, 'I hope Lila calls me tonight'.
