Recap: "Then, the bet is on," I said with a smirk.

Amu's POV

So this shouldn't be that hard. I just have to find someone.

I had spent the remaining time of school thinking about the bet. I had never felt so relieved when the last bell rung.

I slung my bag over my shoulder. Tomorrow. I will find someone tomorrow.

Even the whole way home, I thought about it. Ugh, I know I procrastinated today, but… argh! I can't do it. But if I don't… my pride will be taken away by that pathetic excuse of a human.

I flopped down on my bed, contemplating about what to do. Suddenly, my phone beeped. I sat up, alarmed and check my phone. It was a text message from Unknown.

Tomorrow after school. Meet me in front of the gate.

I stared at the text for a bit. Sorry, who is this?

A couple of seconds later, my phone beeped again.

Guess. I raised my eyebrows and responded.

No.

Aren't you stubborn, Amu?

Don't call me that. It's Hinamori for you. Who is this?

You really don't know?

No.

Ikuto.

What? How did you get my number? You pervert!

I just know these things.

I stared back at the text. He just knows these things? Who does he think he is?

My fingers lingered on the keypad for a couple of seconds and then I typed out the words: Leave me alone.

Ikuto's POV

Who does she think she is? Telling me to leave her alone? That should be my line. Whatever. After she loses the bet, she'll be my bitch. Just kidding. Sorta.

I scrolled through my contact list of ten people. In my inbox as of now, there were over 100 texts and 100 calls from all kinds of people. I didn't need to know their numbers, they just needed to know mine. Every day, I got 100+ texts and calls. A lot of the same people called, but each day, there were a lot of new people as well. It was a hassle to delete each message by hand, so I set my phone to delete messages after each day automatically. The only people I have saved onto my contact list were important enough people.

Kukai. Tadase. Nagihiko. Kairi. Yoru. Utau. Rima. Yaya. Home.

I texted Yoru and told him to tell all the guys about the bet Amu and I made.

I smirked and fell back onto my bed. My apartment was pretty much completely empty. There was only a bed and a closet.

Amu's POV

I woke up a tiny bit earlier that morning. When I got downstairs for breakfast, Mama and Papa and Ami were already long awake.

"Ohaiyo Amu, why are you up so early today?" Mama asked.

"Ohaiyo, Mama, Papa, and Ami," I said, "And no reason."

I finished breakfast quickly and walked to school. If I'm going to do this, I should do it while no one is around.

I noticed a yellow-haired boy walking into the gates. Hotori Tadase. He reminded me of a prince. He's so cute! But he's friends with that Tsukiyomi freak.

"Hey," I said coolly as I casually approached him.

"Ohaiyo, Hinamori-san," he said with a gentle smile. How is someone so nice and gentle like Tadase friends with that sexist pervert?

My mind froze. My heart was beating so fast. Baka! Say something!

"O-ohaiyo," I managed to sputter out. I quickly walked away, avoiding eye contact.

Baka baka baka! Why did you say that? That was the prince!

I spotted the nest person. He was short and wore glasses.

"You," I said, staring directly at him.

"H-Hinamori Amu-senpai?!" the kid looked shocked. "I-I'm Seichiro! I am your b-biggest fan ever!"

You've got to be kidding. A fan?

"C-can I p-please have your autograph?" the kid rambled on.

"Don't screw around with me, kid," I responded turning away. In the end, I couldn't ask him…

I sighed and sat down on a bench near the school's gate. Who am I kidding? I can't do this.

Suddenly, I heard a voice. "Yo, Amu," a voice whispered right into my ears. I was startled and did a little jump.

"I scared you, didn't I?" he mocked.

"You wish," I mumbled.

"Did you get one yet?"

I shook my head and replied defensively, "By the end of the school day."

"Great, I'll see you at the gate," he winked and walked off. That good for nothing pervert. I definitely can't lose to him.

More and more people started to arrive at school. Ugh! Now I can't find anyone that's alone!

Before I knew it, the school bell rang. I hurried to class. Just as I thought… I really can't do this kind of thing. It's so out of my character.

I actually dreaded lunch break for once. I was the last to walk out of the classroom. Just as I was about to walk out, I heard a couple of familiar voices.

"So ready to see Amu's losing face," a voice laughed. Tsukiyomi. I could just imagine the smirk on his face as he said that. I stayed inside the classroom, slouching against the door. I am never going to lose to someone like you.

Another voice spoke up. "You're unusually hyped up about this," another voice said. It was Kukai. Kukai Souma. I quickly sneaked a peek outside the door. There was a group of nine people. All of them were Tsukiyomi's friends. I recognized all of them. Tsukiyomi and his group of close friends were the most popular people in school.

Surrounding Tsukiyomi were Hotori Tadase, Souma Kukai, Fujisaki Nagihiko, Sanjo Kairi, and Yoru. Behind them were Tsukiyomi Utau, Mashiro Rima, and Yuiki Yaya. It was hard not to know who any of them were. They were talked about by everyone.

Tsukiyomi Utau? Then… she's his sister. I wonder if she's as stuck-up as him.

"I'm unusually hyped up about this because I want to make her know her place."

Know my place? Before I could even think, I slammed aside the door.

"You're kidding me, right?" I said in between my breath.

They all turned around, surprised. Especially Tsukiyomi.

"Oh, Amu? Have you been eavesdropping? You just can't stay away from me." he smirked.

"Don't flatter yourself," I retorted.

I could feel his friends watching me. I wanted to run away from their gaze. I can't let that sexist freak see any of my weaknesses!

"Amu-chi!" the girl called Yaya said cheerfully. She was a cute girl who had her auburn hair up in two ponytails. She was known as the bubbly, ditzy one. "I've heard so much about you! It's so good to finally meet you! Please call me Yaya, ne?"

Well at least she seems nice.

"Suit yourself," I said and forced out a smile.

"I'm Rima," a cold voice spoke out. Mashiro Rima. She was short and looked fragile. Her long blonde waves highlighted her delicateness and petiteness. She was really pretty as everyone said.

"Ikuto? Is this the girl who made the bet with you?" Utau demanded.

"This girl has a name and it's Amu," I said. Her amethyst eyes glared at me, as if she was deciding whether or not she liked me.

"Cool and spicy, huh?" she said with a small smile. "Call me Utau."

I pretended to be uninterested, but it was all an act. On the inside, I was so excited at the possible chance of making new friends. They're all letting me call them by their first names!

I looked at the guys.

A blue haired boy spoke. "Yoru ~nyaa!" He's like a little neko-chan.

Then, a green haired boy pushed his glasses up. He resembled a samurai type of person. He coughed and then said, "Hajimemashite. I'm Kairi." He really lives up to his Iinchou reputation. He, Yoru, and Yaya were a grade younger than I.

The prince was beside him. He gave me his usual adoring smile. Tadase-kun!

Next to him was a long purple-haired boy. He was known for his exceptional athletics.

"I'm Nagihiko! Can I call you Amu?" he smiled.

"Do as you like," I replied. Nagihiko, Tadase-kun, Utau, and Rima were in the same grade I was.

"We've all heard a lot about you, Amu," a brown-haired boy said. "I'm Kukai!"

Every day, when I passed by the basketball court or the soccer field, Kukai and Nagihiko were always at the center of attention. Kukai and Tsukiyomi were a grade older than me.

How are all these nice, decent people friends with someone as pathetic as Tsukiyomi?

Tsukiyomi began to speak again. "So, Amu-"

"It's Hinamori," I interrupted him.

"Whatever. There's only half the school day left." He smirked and turned away. They all followed him. "Good luck, Amu-chi!" Yaya said before walking off.

I despised Tsukiyomi. I despised myself for being so gutless.

I walked to the school yard. I searched for someone who was alone. No luck.

Suck it up, Amu. Your pride depends on this. If you can do it, you'll have Tsukiyomi at your feet. Ugh, urusai urusai! I know I know.

I finally spotted someone who was alone.

"Hey you," I said confidently.

"Me?" the boy answered, turning around. His facial expression instantly changed. "I-It's Hinamori Amu! I-I can't believe you're talking to me!" He looked genuinely happy.

"D-do… d-do… d-do…" I started to panic. Damn it, Amu. Just say that one sentence!

"Do you w-want..." I said a little bit louder again. I tried to muster up the courage.

I can't do this. Who am I kidding. "F-forget it," I said as I turned around and ran off. The bell for class rang. Damn it! I just screwed up my potential last chance of asking someone. Stupid Amu.

For two and a half hours straight, I couldn't stop thinking about how I pretty much lost the bet. There was still some last lingering hope that I might run into someone before I meet him at the gate. As soon as the bell rung, I ran out of the classroom, searching for a target. No luck. I felt my phone vibrate in my bag.

I'm waiting by the gate. ;)

It took me a couple of seconds to realize it was Tsukiyomi. Damn it. And how dare he put a winky face at the end of his text!

I slowly trudged to the gate. I made sure I took my time. Amu, you don't even have to go! Just make that pervert wait stupidly by himself! But but but… a bet is a bet and I intend to stick to it. Even if I hate him and his guts.

I was a couple of steps away from the gate. I slowly turned around, but Tsukiyomi saw me before I could.

"Yo, Amu," he smirked like he knew he won already. He was leaned back against the gate all nonchalantly, with one hand in his pocket and the other… around a girl's neck.

"I'll see ya tomorrow, babe," he said. He kissed her lips and then her neck. When he pulled himself away from her, I could see a red mark on her neck. Is that a hickey? Oh my god, I think it is. That disgusting pervert! I shall try to refrain from barfing.

The girl looked dazed. "I'll call you later, Ikuto!" she finally said, "And maybe I will send you some interesting pictures."

Ew. Have some respect for yourself.

Tsukiyomi walked towards me and sneered. "So where's your date?"

"I-I… don't have one. Not because I couldn't get one, but I just don't want one." I tried to say that with as much confidence as I could.

"Then I guess you lost." He smirked again.

"I don't care," I said.

"Yoroshiku, Amu! You'll be spending the next month with me!" he said sarcastically.

"A bet is a bet. I'll do any favors you need as long as they're reasonable." I shrugged, trying to give off an "I don't care" vibe.

I lost. I really lost. There goes my pride…

"Amu-"

"It's Hi. Na. Mo. ri." I said , emphasizing each syllable.

"I'll call you what I like. And you'll call me Ikuto."

I began to protest but he stopped me. "It's part of the bet."

I grumbled. "Hey, I left my bag in the classroom. Go get it for me."

Go get it for me? Does he not have manners?

"How about a please?" I suggested.

"I won the bet. I do what I want."

Ugh. Arrogant bastard. I turned around and ran to his class.

Ikuto's POV

This is going to be the best month of my life. Heh. So she couldn't even ask a guy to begin with? I would've won without having to inform everyone of this bet anyways.

I couldn't wait to make her do everything I wanted.
