Chapter 2: A Bet

Agent BM: Thx


Later that day, Bessie was telling her friends about the incident with Kevin.

"I can't believe it." said Stella.

"He should've been watching where his feet were." Bessie replied.

"Ah don't let him bother you, Bess." Liam told her.

"Yeah, besides how can you take a guy seriously when his last name is Fluggerbutter?" joked Lincoln.

They all laughed.

"I mean what kind of name is that?" Clyde laughed.

Little did they know, Kevin was behind a corner and heard everything. That made him mad, and he went to find his friends.


In the boys' bathroom, and talked it over.

"Hey, Kevin something wrong with your foot?" asked Josh.

"I just got ran over by a wheelchair, that's what happened. These were new shoes too." Kevin explained.

"Disabled kids. They're so annoying." complained Harry.

"And she and her friends, were making fun of my last name. I mean I'm one of the richest kids in this school, and my family owns the greatest candy in the country."

"They should show some respect." Josh told.

Just then, Harry got an idea.

"You know boys, I've got an idea on how we can put that wheelchair girl in her place, and spice things up around here."

"And what's that?" wondered Kevin.

"Kevin, I bet you $500, that you can't get that wheelchair girl to go to the dance with you."

"Go to the dance with her?"

"Good idea, Harry."

"I don't know guys. I'm not good at talking to girls, you saw how I was last time."

"Oh please. She's in a wheelchair, all you gotta do is flirt, spend some money on her, and she'll be following you around like a puppy." Josh assured.

"Yeah, and just think of the look on her face when you kick her to the curb." Harry told him.

"Well, she is cute. If this goes anywhere I can at least get her a dress, maybe get Lucy to loan one of her pearl necklaces or something. But I'm getting too ahead of myself. First I have to approach her." Kevin informed.

"This is gonna be fun." Harry joked.


In the cafeteria Bessie was rolling towards the line. When Kevin came into the room, he spotted and quickly went over to her.

"Hey, wheelchair girl." he called. Bessie turned her head, and scowled.

"What do you want?"

"I wanted to apologize about earlier. I didn't mean to yell at you."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. My foot's still sore, but you don't look like a girl who'd run over someone on purpose. Let me introduce myself, my name's Kevin."

"I know, I've seen you around."

And she rolled on, but Kevin followed her.

"What's your name if I may ask?"

"My name's Bessie."

"Okay, Bessie. Again sorry I yelled, not everyday I get my foot run over. Be glad it wasn't my sister you ran over. Kinda wish she was here now, she'd have stopped me from yelling at you."

That made Bessie feel a little awkward.

"Well, I suppose I accept your apology." she replied in a slow voice.

"I do wanna make it up to you. You like chocolate? My family makes some of the best chocolates in town, Fluggerbutter candies we call them."

Bessie was starting to get a little freaked out and confused.

"Uh...I don't know..."

"Here, I have some with me. It's really good if you try it."

He handed her some pieces of chocolate.

"Uh, thanks."

"You know, you're kinda pretty too now that I'm getting a better look at you. Not as pretty as Lucy but, still."

Now Bessie was really started to get freaked out.

"Oh God I'm so bad at this."

"If you'll excuse me, I have to get lunch now."

"Listen. I'm not good at talking to girls, or many people in general. I'll be honest my sister and I got kicked out of our last school, not my fault but, ugh, this was a mistake talking to you."

"Okay. I'm going to just leave now. Goodbye."

And with that Bessie quickly wheeled herself away.

"Okay, sorry for bothering you."

But Bessie didn't look back.

"God why am I so bad at talking to people. No wonder I don't have many friends. Really wish you were here right now, sis." Kevin sighed.


At her table, Bessie told her friends about her experience.

"Gee, that's weird." said Zack.

"I know, first he's mad about be accidentally running over his foot. Now he's trying to flirt with me." Bessie replied.

"Well if you ask me, it might be better to stay away from him Bessie." Lincoln advised.

"Don't worry, I plan to." Bessie replied.

And she went back to eating.

That's chapter 2
