THE BET,
chapter TWO

"Hey Supafly, what do you have for lunch?" Wallace said while placing his lunch tray beside Veronicas.

Wallace and Veronica were bestfriends since grade three. They weren't the most popular in school, but that never stopped them from having fun.

"Nothing really… Ham sandwich." Veronica said with a full mouth.

"So bestfriend- I know I promised I would take you to prom…"

Before Wallace could finish his sentence, Veronica's eyes lit wide with anger.

"Wallace! We promised each other since eighth grade that we'd go together at our Prom! Who the hell am I going to go with?"

Veronica was so angry. She picked up her soda from the table and stood up to walk away. Before she knew it her soda had dropped out of her hand and spilled all over the strangers shirt.

"Oh shoot! Oh gosh, I'm sorry!" Veronica shuffled to get a tissue paper and started to dry the spill. But all of a sudden a hand covered hers and stopped her actions.

Veronica looked up and caught herself eye to eye with the infamous Logan Echolls. Logan was smiling widely.

She looked down at their intertwined hands and when she finally hit reality she pulled her hand out of his grasp.

"Actually… Nevermind. You have enough money to buy a new one anyways."

Logan's smile dropped. Yeah, he could buy a new shirt but that wasn't his problem.

Veronica walked away, leaving a very stunned Logan standing in the middle of the quad.

"Strike one." Dick said laughing while passing by him.

Logan shook his head in disbelief. This was going to be harder than he thought.

"Hey, you okay?" Wallace asked when he finally reached Veronica at her locker.

Veronica shut her locker slowly and turned to look at Wallace in the eye. Wallace knew what Veronica was thinking.

"Not again… I thought that whole thing was over in Ninth grade!"

Wallace walked Veronica to her class. He couldn't believe it.

"I know.. I know! I'm so stupid! I know Logan did that to me in Ninth grade but… You know I had a crush on him before that!"

Wallace stopped walking which lead Veronica to stop as well.

"You gotta be careful Vee… You don't know what his intentions are."

Veronica looked Wallace in the eye. He was right… It's LOGAN ECHOLLS. The drunkee, play-boy from Neptune.

"I know Wallace. I know." Veronica flashed Wallace a thank you smile and continued walking to her class.

Veronica took her seat and scoffed when she saw Logan arrive to class late.

"Logan… Why're you late, Again?" Ms. Dent said stopping her lesson.

"I had to buy myself a new shirt- Apparently." Logan said glancing over to Veronica. Veronica quickly averted her eyes.

"That's not an excuse... You missed the next assignment details. I want you to sit in the front. Madison,"

Oh no, Veronica thought, Madison sits beside me!

"Move to where Logan used to sit." Ms. Dent continued. "And Logan, take your new spot."

Logan glanced over at Veronica. "I'll be pleased to do so." Logan said with a smug smile.

This is going to be easy. Well at least, that's what Logan thought.
