Chapter 2

The group was waiting for Emily to come out of the locker room and to the pool/gym room. Emily was on the swim team, and today was one of her swim meets. She was going to swim against a very competitive other school in the district. But all her friends would be cheering for her, because they knew that she was an awesome swimmer, and they loved her.

"Emily's gonna wipe the floor with them today!" Noel exclaimed. "There she is. Over here, Em!"

The swimmer smiled at her best friends and walked up to them.

"Hey guys!" Emily grinned. "I'm super nervous, but excited."

"Don't worry, Em. You'll knock them down," Aria told her. "You're like the best swimmer in this whole place!"

"Aw, Aria... Thanks," Emily said, smiling as she blushed. She was flattered by the compliment.

"Damn! Is that Spencer Hastings again?" Toby asked, raising his eyebrows. "I didn't know she was on the JV field hockey team."

"Yeah, she is. I heard she's super good, too." Caleb said.

"Her legs look really hot in that JV uniform," Toby said, grinning.

Hanna rolled her eyes, "I thought you said she's a lame nerd."

"She is. She's super nerdy. She's like the biggest geek in this place," Toby laughed. "But who said nerds can't be hot, right? There's a lot of hot girls out there! It doesn't mean I like this one. Nerds aren't my type, anyways."

"You're so... shallow," Emily insulted, shaking her head.

"Hey, you can't blame a brotha for having a type and some standards!" Noel defended.

"This is awesome, though. A bunch of hot girls in swimsuits..." Toby grinned.

"Okay, now this is just awkward." Emily sighed.

"No, no! Em, I didn't mean..." Toby bit his lip. "Whatever. Spencer's super hot, though... She looks really good in her JV uniform!"

"Paige McCullers looks so good in her swimsuit," Emily bit her lip as she watched Paige walk out of the locker room.

Emily's friends looked at her funny, like she had said something crazy.

"What? A girl can't think another girl looks good!?" Emily defensively said. "God, I have to go get ready to swim!"


It was after Emily's swim match. The Rosewood Sharks had CRUSHED the Devils, thanks to Emily's record-breaking time! The group was cheering for her the whole time. They were so proud of her after the match. They always believes in her. They knew that she'd dominate in the race!

Spencer Hastings was leaving the field after her JV field hockey practice. She was still showing off those legs that Toby loved so much.

"Damn, there that girl is again!" Toby exclaimed.

"Dude, just ask her out if you think she's so hot." Noel said.

"I told you bro... She's not my type," Toby said, shaking his head.

"Yeah, right!" Hanna said. "You're just scared that a girl who probably doesn't want a jerk face boyfriend will reject you. You're scared of rejection, Tobes. Admit it!"

"Hell no," he shook his head. "HELL TO THE NO! I just don't want a girl like her, honestly."

"I bet you can't even get her if you wanted to." Hanna challenged.

"Come on, she would be falling under my spell like I'm a wizard!" Toby laughed.

"Then go charm her and ask her on a date," Hanna told him, smirking.

"But I don't wanna date a nerd like her," he said.

"You're acting like this girl isn't worth anything. What if she's an amazing person?" Aria asked.

"I would rather not have dates where I read the periodic table of elements to her under the stars," Toby sarcastically said, crossing his arms. "If she wants that, she can date a nerdy dude like Andrew Campbell! That guy's a loser."

"Even I think you're being a jerk, man!" Caleb said, crossing his arms.

"Seriously Caleb? Fine, screw you, Caleb! Noel, back me up, man!" Toby said.

"Sorry T, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else. You're being some kind of sexist jerk right now." Noel told him, sighing.

"This is pathetic!" Toby shook his head. "I could get her under my arm, but I don't want to! She's not my type, for the last time!"

"Fine, here's the deal," Caleb began. "You go woo Spencer with whatever crap you can, and you date her for two weeks, that's it. After two weeks, you'll dump her, if you haven't already fallen for her!"

"I'll do it, but I'm not gonna fall for her." He said. "And why two weeks? Can't I just go on one date and then dump her?"

"No way! I like Caleb's amount," Emily said. "Two weeks, because we want to see if a jerk player like you can actually keep a steady relationship with a girl at all."

"Alright, fine. What do I get for winning the bet?" He asked.

"If you can keep the relationship for two weeks without really falling for her, I will give you the new motorbike that my parents got me for my birthday." Noel offered, grinning. "I know how much you wanted that sexy set of wheels!"

"And now I'm in, so, I'll go ask her out right now. You'll see how easy it is for me to lure any girl in," Toby said, grinning. "Watch and learn, ladies and gentlemen! This is a piece of cake. I'm gonna get myself a real nice motorcycle thanks to this easy bet."

Toby used the sexiest walk he could to approach Spencer.

"Hey... I was standing over there, and I was wondering if you had a map," he began his pick up line. "...because I'm just so lost in your eyes!"

"Excuse me?" Spencer raised her eyebrows, shocked.

He knew he screwed up, and now he was desperate. He couldn't let his friends win! He needed to prove to them, and he needed to win Noel's motorcycle. He wanted Noel's wheels so bad!

He sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry. You were just so beautiful that I forgot my pick up line," he smoothly said.

She was intrigued now, but not fully interested just yet.

"Thanks... I don't really know you, so I'm going to go change. I have to get home." Spencer said.

"I understand. I've seen you in our English classroom... Spencer. Mr. Fitz's class. I just couldn't take my eyes off of your beauty though. I thought that maybe you could help me out by allowing me to take you out to dinner, so that way I can admire your beauty on our date, instead of falling behind in class because I'm admiring you." He said, trying to sound sweet and sincere.

"Oh," she blushed. "You want to take me out to dinner?"

He nodded.

"Yeah. You're just the most beautiful thing I've seen in a LONG time," he flirted.

"Oh... Okay... How about dinner tomorrow night at seven?" She asked "I'm free after my field hockey practice."

"Sounds awesome. I'll see you then, Spencer. I'm Toby, if you didn't already know." He said. "Can I get your digits or what?"

She smiled and took a pen from Toby's backpack. She wrote her number down on his hand before walking away. He grinned and walked back to his friend.

"Hook, line, and sinker!" Toby exclaimed. "She's totally falling for it!"

"This is cruel..." Aria sighed.
