The Bet
Monday
**********************************************Flashback*********************************************
"Remember, you have two months to make him fall in love with you, you'll start on Monday"
"This Monday ?! Are you kidding me ?"
"Oh come on dude, don't be like that. You used to be fun" said a pouting Tino
I chuckled "Used to? So I'm not anymore ?"
"Nah you're lame now, come on ! The school will get a kick out of it. People will talk about it for weeks !" he replied grabbing my shoulders and shaking me
"Alright ! Alright I'll do it"
*****************************************End of the flashback**************************************
I shouldn't have accepted to do this stupid bet, what was I thinking about. It's jut a game, how bad can it be ? I sighed running a hand through my hair. Today was Monday, the day the bet starts. I'm totally looking forward it -note the sarcasm-
I was wandering aimlessly around the school when I heard quiet sobs. I picked up the pace, following the little noises. I could make out a mop of ginger hair in the distance.
"Alan ?" I asked softly bending down in front of him
He jumped up, looking scared for his life. His lips was split open slightly, he had dried blood near his nose and a black eyes.
"Hey don't be scared, I won't hurt you, I promise"
He nodded slowly, wiping the tears out of his bruised face.
"Can you stand up ? Do you need help ? Here, take my hand"
I helped him up and walked him to the nearest bathroom.
"It's going to sting a little bit " I said as I took the wet toilet paper to his face.
"What happened to you ?" I knew exactly what happened
"I..um.. Oliver. He... he beat him up" he whispered , letting out a shaky breath
A few minutes passed , I was done cleaning him up by now.
He was the one breaking the awkward silence that had fallen upon us "Why did you help me ? "
The look on his face broke my heart.
"I just like helping people"
"But why me ? I'm no one and you are ..."
"Popular" I cut him before he could finish his sentence. "You seem to be a nice guy, I just couldn't leave you like that"
He smiled for the first time since I found him. "Really ?"
"Yes, really. Hey,what about we get out of here and hang out to my house ?"
His brown orbs widened in disbelief 'You want to hang out with.. me ?"
"Yeah, now let's go" I said, taking his hand in my mine.
