I walk in with my sister Rydel, my brothers Rocky, Riker, and Ryland and his girlfriend Raylee along with our family friend Ratliff. I stand there and watch as Rocky decides he is going to show us some new tricks on his skateboard. We all look at each other and smile as he gets on his board and tries to do a flip. We all watch as Rocky goes up and lands on his butt the next second. We all then watch as his board lands next to him. We all start laughing and watch as he stands up and grabs his board. "It's the floor. It's unleveled." We all laugh, I smile and slap his shoulder, "Sure buddy." I smile and walk with him and my family over to an area with a couch, chairs and table.
Rydel and Raylee sit together and take their phones out. I sit beside them on the couch and look around at everyone in the common area. I see Rocky sit in one of the chairs and place his skateboard under his feet and start moving it side to side. Riker takes a chair on one side of the table and Ratliff takes the other. Ryland sits in the chair next to Rocky. Riker looks around, "Is anyone else hungry?" Ryland nods and I watch the two of them take off to get some food.
A few minutes later I hear them sit down and look up from my food to watch them start eating. Rydel places her phone down and sighs, "I want some more girls to hang out with." She turns to Raylee and smiles as she side hugs her, "Not that I don't love you babe." Raylee smiles, "I get it." She nods and looks back at us, "I need more girls." I look at her and shrug, "What do you want us to do about it?" She sighs and moves forward, "I want you guys to get some girlfriends." Rocky scuffs, "Why don't you just make friends Delly?" I laugh as she throws her notebook at him, "I do have friends but I can't hang out with them all the time. Since we are always together I always see you so if you get girlfriends I will always have girls to hang out with duh." I laugh and look at her, "Delly, this sounds like a great plan but you know I don't do the whole girlfriend thing." She scuffs and looks at me, "Oh, trust me I know." Riker looks up as he takes his last bite of food, "Then I am confused Delly." She smiles wide and I know that look. I look at the boys and they all are thinking the same thing as me; this can't be good.
"I was thinking we have a little fun this year." She looks around at all of us before landing on Ryland, "Of course you would be out of this." He sighs and leans back in the chair relieved to not be part of her plan. She then turns to Ratliff who looks scared. She then smiles and turns and looks at Rocky who looks terrified. She looks over at Riker who doesn't show how scared he is of her plan she is forming in her head. Lastly she looks at me and smiles, "I say we see who can get girlfriends this year." I look at her, "Like I said though I don't do the girlfriend thing." She smiles wider if that is even possible, "Oh, like I said I know. You are going to have a special part this year." I gulp the lump in my throat and look at her. She looks around at the other boys and smiles, "I want you to all try to at least get one girlfriend this year." They all lean back in their chairs and sigh in relief, "Except..." They all look at her scared again, "You actually have to like them." Riker smiles and leans back, "That's fine. We always like the girls we date." Rydel smiles and nods, "I know."
She turns and looks at me again, "Ross?" I gulp again and stare at her watching her look at me with a wicked grin. "I bet that you can't get one girl to fall in love with you by the end of the year." I know she has some plan and her plans are never good but I can't turn down a bet. I look at her and smirk, "Every girl loves me." She laughs and looks back at me, "No Ross. I mean love you, not just love your body and want you in their bed." I lean back and tilt my head to the side looking at her, "So what exactly is the bet?" She smiles, "I bet you that you can't get a girl to fall in love with you by the end of the year and the girl is one of my choosing." I look at her and debate it, "What do I get if I win?" She laughs again, "When you lose you have to stop being the asshole you are and grow up. No more using girls and throwing them away like they are nothing. And you have to do my homework for the next year and bring me coffee every morning for the next year as well." I look at her not wanting this, "That's it? Your bets normally have more to it if I lose." She smirks and I get scared. I shouldn't have said anything, "No music for a semester and you give up the club." I gasp, literally gasp. "Rydel, that is not fair." She smirks and leans back in her spot and looks at me, "And if by some chance you do win, which I doubt." She shakes her head and looks around before landing back on me, "I will give up shopping for a semester, do your homework for the next year, and bring you something to drink every morning. I will also go to all your meets and I will even help you get some dates." I smile and lean back in my seat, "So who is this lucky girl going to be?" She looks at me then turns and looks around the common area, "I want someone who won't be too eager but also someone who doesn't know you." She looks around and then smiles wide, "Her." I watch to where her finger is pointing.
I smile and look at the short brunette that is gorgeous. She is dressed amazing and I can tell she will be fun. I look back at Rydel, "Your on." She smirks at me. I stand up and fix my leather jacket. "Be back." I wink and walk over to the girl. She bends and looks into her bag as I step in front of her chair. She leans back up and follows my body up to my face. I smile warmly at her, "Hello, I am Ross. What is your name?" She looks at me and I watch as her amazing lips form the name, "Laura." I put my hand out to shake her hand and I watch her look at me strange. She places her hand out and instead of shaking it, I kiss the top of it and smile before letting her hand go. I watch her pull it away but try to not be obvious about it which she failed at. I smile at her trying to show I am not a bad guy, " I saw you earlier and wanted to say hi, I just didn't know how." She smiles at me warming up to me, "Well, hi." I laugh and lean against the arm of her chair. This is too easy, " Do you think we could hang out sometime?" I relax waiting for the obvious yes and her number. She stands up and looks at me before shrugging and grabbing her bag, "Maybe. I bet I will see you around." I feel unnerved. What just happened? This never happens. I smile and shake my head to clear it, "Why don't you come meet my friends?" She smiles at me, "Sorry, I have to get to class." I sigh and look down at the floor. Shit, this is not going as planned. What else do I do? I pull out the last thing I can, "Do you think I could get your number then? I just want to be able to contact you. You seem awesome." I watch her look at the ground and then shrug, "I guess not." I do a mental fist pump in the air. I grab my phone out of my pocket and type her number in as she recites it to me. I smile when I hit save. I place my phone back in my pocket with a smile. I pull out the next thing, "Maybe next time we can hang out. I would like that very much." I watch her warm up to me and smile, "Maybe. It was nice meeting you but I really have to go." I nod and watch her walk away.
I turn with a smile of triumph and walk back over to my family. I sit down and smirk. "You are gonna lose Rydel." She looks at me and smirks, "Yeah right." I smile and lean back, "I already got her number and she warmed up to me quickly. She will be eating out of the palm of my hands in no time." I receive a bunch of oohing from the boys and Riker starts laughing. "Dude, you went up against Rydel. You know you have no chance of winning." I smirk and laugh with him, "I will win this bet." I look up and watch her look away from me and walk out the door. I smirk and lean back in my content, "I already am winning this bet."
