Chapter 2

EPOV:

Finally, the bell rang, releasing me from the horrors of classes and I immediately ran outside in the rain. I began heading towards my silver Volvo when I heard a voice. "Hey Eddie!"

I turned, only to come face to face with my best friend Emmett. "What do you want Emmett?" I rolled my eyes, knowing him it would be some stupid thing like him wanting me to remind him what color Rosalie's dress was yesterday. "And don't call me Eddie." I added with a glare.

"Fine then, Edward, my man, what do you say to a little bet?" He smirked raising his eyebrows.

I smiled, I was always up for a bet. "What's the wager?" This better be good.

"If you do it, Jasper, Erik, Mike, Tyler and myself will each pay you one hundred dollars. Making your total earnings five hundred dollars." Emmett explained.

Five hundred dollars was always good, I could use some bragging rights and a little extra money. "Alright, what do I have to do?"

"You have to date twenty four girls, in seven days, starting next Monday." Emmett said. Today was Thursday, so I would have a weekend to prepare. "And it has to be a real date. Ask them out, one date, then dump them. You can use any methods you choose."

The smirk on his face was prominent. I stuck out my hand. "You're on." We shook and he smirked.

"Alright, I've got to go meet with Rose. I'll see you later." I nodded and we went our separate ways. I hopped in my Volvo and drove home, pondering how I would do it.

All I knew, was that I had a plan.

XXXXXXXXX

The next day I drove to school, my "art" project to help me win the bet sitting in the back seat. Thirty posters each one handwritten in sharpie marker. 'Want a homecoming date with Edward Cullen? Call the number below and twenty-four callers will be chosen at random to have a date with THE Edward Cullen.' Smiling as I hung up the posters I wondered how many calls I would get.

I went through my day, making out with one girl here, and another one there, all the while looking forward to Biology where I would have my chance to talk to Bella once again.

Reaching the classroom I made an immediate dash for my seat. I hadn't made out with anyone during passing for fear of losing time with Bella. But to my dismay, Bella chose to ignore me the whole class period; the only thing she said was 'hello' out of obvious politeness. I had tried starting a conversation but she had simply motioned for me to be quiet then turned to listen to the teacher.

As soon as I got in the car I began shifting through my one hundred and fourteen messages on my phone. According to school enrollment that was nearly one third of the school population meaning only about fifty girls did not call me. I quickly pulled out a pad of paper and began writing down the names of the girls who were juniors or seniors and sounded somewhat sexy and not the least bit nerdy. So far my list was;

Lauren Mallory

Jessica Stanley

Tanya Denali

Irina Johnson

Kate Smith

Nicole MaCafery

Ebony Williams

Jaylynn Jones

Adrienne Kessel

Emily Banks

Angela Webber

Shannon McQueen

Brittney Abrams

Kailey Clarkson

Laura Tucker

Madeline Manuel

Carly Greene

Grace Palvari

Hannah Eral

Olivia Howell

Twenty, and I was already at message number one hundred. Most of the girls were sophomores or they sounded really weird, one girl even had a lisp. I mean, seriously, why would I, Edward Cullen, date someone with a lisp? All right four more to go.

I found the next two easily.

Lacey King

Anna Bruns

There were only three messages left, and the first one was some freshman that though she had a chance. I sighed and pushed the next one. "Hi this is Alice McCartney and I am calling on behalf of Isabella Swan who is a junior and would love to go to homecoming with you! Bye now!" I held my breath, waiting for her to say just kidding, but it never happened.

My pen shook as I wrote her name down

Isabella Swan

I didn't even listen to the last message I just wrote the name and saved the number as soon as I heard it.

Paige Lopez

There I had my twenty-four girls. I planned to start at the top and make my way down.

In one week I was going to be five hundred dollars richer.
