I woke up Friday morning, but not by my alarm. In fact when I looked at my alarm I woke up instantly. "8:21? Fuck I'm late." I yelled as I got dressed. I quickly brushed my hair and rushed downstairs. I went outside and saw all the students walking about. They were all out of uniform, just talking, some skateboarding, and some texting. What's going on?

"Gwen? Why are you wearing your uniform?" I turned around to see Bridgett. She was wearing a light blue hooey and jean shorts. The only thing that was the same was her perfect band around her arm. "It's the weekend. You don't have to ware you uniform, just appropriate clothes." She explained. "Weekend?" I asked. Today is Friday. "Yea, school here is from Tuesday to Thursday. Didn't you know?" she explained. "No, I didn't." I answered heading back into the dorm, hearing Bridgett chuckle behind me.

"Why only a 3 day school week?" I asked. "Um, who gives a rat's ass? We have 3 days of hell, I am not complaining." She answered. I guess she's right. "I came here to take you to breakfast with everyone. So get dressed, and let's go." She said sitting on the floor outside my door. "Ok. Be right back."

I felt so embarrassed. I had not idea we only had a 3 day week. O well. This charm school isn't half bad. I put on my usual outfit, (from TDI) a black and green, and blue top, with a black and blue skirt. Then I opened the door. Bridgett and I walked over to the cabin again. I think it's so cool how perfects can have their own chill place, even if its purpose is to think up of plans and take small rests.

Everyone was there except DJ, Trent, and Cody. Everyone was just talking to each other normally except Duncan and Courtney. Courtney was the last person on earth I would think that would end up with Duncan. But there they were, sucking face as if no ones watching.

After 5 minutes of Talking the 3 missing boys walk in with cookies and coffee. Trent saw me and his smile got bigger. I still need to ask him my final question. Then everyone started to devourer the cookies, and coffee and taking their seats. I was surprised. I had hoped Trent would sit next to me, but he didn't sit anywhere near me. Instead Cody did.

While everyone carried on with their conversations, Cody was staring at me. I decided not to be totally rude because I need all perfect's votes to be one. "Hi?" I said more like questioned. "Hey Gwen, um….what's up?" he replied. "Nothing." I answered. "Oh that's cool. Um listen, I was um, wondering if, you um, wanted to … … … go out with me sometime?" he asked. I would have chocked on my food if I was eating. "What?" I asked. Did he just ask m out? "I wanted to know if you would go out with me?" he repeated. OK I am so not being nice anymore.

"NO" I answered plainly and took a sip of my coffee. "You sure cause um…." He was cut short. "No way dude. You know the rules, 1 chance, that's all you get." Geoff said taking his lips off Bridgett. OMG everyone cant keep their hands off…wait what did he say?

"Come on…" Cody complained. "I paid $200.00 for her. Can't I get more than 1 chance?" he finished. "Wait. You won the bidding?" I asked in shock. "Yup. So what do you say? Saturday?" he asked again. "NO! Sorry but no." I answered back. Everyone was going oooo.

"Ok, so that means, the 2nd highest bidder get's to ask her out next." Duncan added. I just got up and left. I felt so angry. Why would Cody pay that much to ask me out? How much did Trent pay? Did he even bid? So who's next 'up at the bat'? I was so fucking pissed.

I started to walk into the garden when I heard my name being called. I turned around to find Trent running toward me. No I don't want to deal with this. I am just going to run away like I had originally planned.

"Gwen wait up." Trent called. I didn't I just kept walking. Then he grabbed my arm, an was breathing hard. "Please *gasps* wait *gasp* please?" he said still catching his breath.

I shook his arm off and kept on walking. "Please Gwen. Wait." He said I turned to see him standing were I had left him. "What is it?" I asked. "Why did you run off? Is it something they said?" he asked. "No, it's just….." I hesitated. I didn't want to tell him I ran off because I was heart broken. "Just nothing. I just had to go." I said backing away, but he grabbed my arm.

"Please. Don't leave. I want you to stay. If you don't want to hang out with them, then, … I don't know, we can go somewhere. Only the two of us." He said. Was he asking me out? No, I don't want o be with him. But I do need a few answers so….

"Fine. Ok." I answered. He sighed of relief and took my hand and told me to follow him.

**********

It was a beautiful Friday morning. We took a walk in the garden that was empty. And he sat me down on a bench next to a fountain.

"So, what's bugging you?" he said taking the seat next to me. At first I didn't answer. "You can tell me." He said. He was so sweet, and kind, and gentle that I felt a little rude. So I spilled.

"I can't believe Cody won. I mean, he lost 200 buck and I shot him down. I feel horrible, and he won't vote me in now, and now I won't be a perfect, but I really don't want to go out with him, and now someone else is going to lose their money because the only one I want to go out with is…" I stopped myself there. That was close.

"Who? Tell me. I wont be mad or anything." I am not answering no matter what. "By the way, Cody already lost his money. Everyone who bid did. As soon as it's over, what ever the price you stopped at, you pay up. And he will vote you in, don't worry about that." Trent said with a smile on his face.

"Did you bid?" I asked. I want to know how much I am worth to him.

**********

"Yes, I did." He answered plainly. "But, I didn't want to tell you, because I thought you would be offended, and I really like you and…" he began to ramble.

"How much?" I asked. This is so weird, but I like Trent, and I want to know these things.

"$189.00 that was all I had. I would have kept going, but, no money." He blushed. Wow that's a lot of money. "I lost by $11." He finished.

"Lost?" I asked "I was the 2nd highest. It was only Cody and me bidding, but Cody bids on everyone." He said. I smiled. Before I thought this bidding thing was piggish. But I don't see it that way anymore.

"I left, because I thought you didn't bid on me, and I was heart broken." I admitted. He put his hand around my neck, and pulled me into a kiss.

It was sweet. Closed mouth, but long and sweet. "Feel better?' he said pulling back after a few minutes.

"Much." I answered. He kissed me again, and pulled me closer, almost holding me.

Ok so I get arrested on Sunday, fly to England to a finishing school. Skipped Some classes, met a ho guy, and being put into teacher pet club were I can get away with murder, and now its Friday, and instead of school, I am making out with a hot guy.

I should get my mom pissed at me more often if it leads to this.

New chapter coming soon!!!!!!!
