OK, Moving on...

"LOUIS!!!!!!"

Ren watched the comical, yet familiar scene of Donny chasing after Louis, who was holding what appeared to be Donny's basketball trophy. She grabbed her history homework and, thinking quickly, put on a pair of shorty shorts and a midriff top. She put up her hair and looked for her jacket. She couldn't find it anywhere, so she just left.


As Larry waited outside the library, he knew he was becoming extremely bored. He needed Kevin to get there quick. He figured once Kevin was there, he would be able to stop thinking about Ren. Thinking about Ren definitely wasn't a good thing. Especially if he wanted to win the bet. But getting her off his mind wasn't easy, especially since, rumor has it, she had a date that night with Brett Marshall.

He knew what kind of boy Brett was. The fast kind. Only remaining unattached for so long because he enjoyed scoring a different girl every night. Ren, he knew, was his next target.

Thanks to that stupid bet... If he tries anything and I hear about it... WHY am I thinking about murder here? I mean, seriously, what do I care if he scores with Ren? And breaks her heart? Or gets her pregnant or... IF HE DOES I'LL KILL HIM!... Or.... FINALLY! Larry immediately put aside his thoughts when he saw Kevin walking up the steps of the library.

"So, did you hear about Ren and Brett?" Kevin asked sadly. He knew if Brett was with Ren, he didn't have a chance.

"Yeah. And I was rootin' for you, man!" Larry said, in mock enthusiasm. Obviously Kevin thought it was real.

They went into the library, and Larry was surprised to see Ren in the far corner. She was writing down some notes from a book she was reading. She looked up and saw Larry staring at her, she put the pen down, and motioned for him to come and sit with her.

"Kevin, you look in the back, I'll look up front. We'll meet outside the library at six, got it?" Without waiting for an answer, Larry strolled up front and sat down across from Ren.

"Time out for a second, Larry. Tell me, what was up with you today? What were all those questions about?" Ren asked.

Larry knew he couldn't tell her the real answer, so he made up one. "I'm making a book on my school career here. I had just forgot some tiny details here and there. So, that was YOU who put that ugly picture in the Wombat Report?" He had to change the subject.


Ren knew he was lying. She decided to toy with him a little bit.

"Yeah, that was me. Actually, I thought it was a pretty cute picture." she said, batting her eyelashes. She wasn't very experienced at flirting, but she thought she should give it a shot.

"Um, yeah right! You just put it in to make me look bad." Larry caught the flirt, and countered it with some flirting of his own. He gave her a sexy smile, which urged her to continue.

"Well, you only think that because you don't see yourself the way us girls do." She gave him a flirtatious grin, which sent shivers up his spine.


Damn, she flirts like a pro! Larry felt his heart pump faster when she laid a hand on his. She looked into his eyes, causing a funny sensation at the pit of his stomach. He had to get out of there, FAST.

"I, uh, just wanted to ask you to tell Brett tonight that, uh, we have that science project due on Monday." He withdrew his hand, and almost ran out of the library.


"So, Ruby, what do you think?" Ren asked, showing off the outfit she was going to wear on her date with Brett that night. She was a little peeved that Larry had blown her off, but she knew she had to win the bet. She was wearing a tight black skirt that went down to her knees, and an equally fitting pink halter. Her hair was long and curled at the bottom. Very sexy, yet still very understated.

She couldn't wait until tonight.
