Bet
"You guys made a bet on who could get me to go out with them first!" Daphne shrieked. She was pretty sure she had the entire cafeteria's attention, but she couldn't care less. Two guys had been flirting with her all week. And one of them, she had actually had feeling for. That is, until she overheard both of them talking about their little bet.
She had never been more hurt in her life.
"Daphne! I can explain." Travis reached out his hand to grab her, but she pulled away.
"Save it. I don't want to hear it." She turned around and stormed out of the cafeteria, trying to stop the tears from falling. It was a strange feeling. She rarely ever cried. Grimms were not crybabies.
The hall was empty and Daphne walked past all the lockers, her eyes on the door that led off campus. She just needed to be alone…or maybe talk to someone…she wasn't even sure.
"Daphne?"
Daphne froze. She would recognize that voice anywhere. He had only spent every other for the last seven years day playing football in her yard with Puck. "Jackson."
"What happened?"
And all of a sudden, he was there, handing her a tissue. "You want to tell me about it?"
Daphne shrugged. "I don't even know if I want to talk about it. I'm so confused."
"You can talk to me." Jackson insisted. "But you don't have to if you don't want to…last time I told a girl to talk to me about her feelings, she sneezed in my face. But then again, she was a hippo…literally."
He looked so unsure of himself that she had to laugh. It felt good to laugh and all of a sudden, Daphne didn't care about what had just occurred. She had realized that the person she loved was closer than she had thought.
Short, I know.
Monster: Poor Daphne. She knows that even she's allowed to cry, right?
Vamp: poor girl…she deserves better than Travis and that other idiot.
Monster: Someone like Jackson!
