The Love Bet: Part 12 ♥

The Love Bet; Part 12
--

Mariete tilted her tead towards the sky and hugged her knees close to her chest. She let out a sigh, and bagan the story of her life...

"A year ago, i left this school. I was overjoyed. The one i thought i loved used me for a et, and then he broke my heart. On top of that, my friend for life, decided that popularity was more important and left me a few days before the heartbreak. It was all because of the Love Bet. So many girls were hurt by it. A geeky little nerd like me couldn't resist the temptation of one of the most popular boys in school. I changed my looks, i got rid of my old wardrobe so that i wouldn't bring his status down. But i guess it was all false," MAriete said quietly as Victor listened.
"..." Victor had no words to say.
"Are you okay?" Mariete asked as she looked at the boy lying besides her.
"By any chance... was the boy's name Derrick Kingsly?" Victor questioned.
"Why?" MAriete asked not wanting to say more than needed.
"Because i think i might know..." Victor said.
"I'm sorry, but i have to go," MAriete said quickly to avoid the questions. She grabbed her bag and bolted under the fence to the school. She gave a quick backwards glance to see Victor lying there, deep in thought.

Victor stared at the clouds in the sky. If she starts to avoid him, he knew that he would lose the bet. He only had one month, but did he want her to be hurt again? She had to suffer through the bet once already, could she live through the pain and humuiliation once more? He let out a sigh as th eclouds started to move. He closed his eyes and let the wind tossle his hair. Then he stood up, classes ended soon, and dismissal was nearing...

~One Week Later

"Excuse me!" MAriete yelled as she raced to English as she slipped ona paper. She tried to grab someone for support only to drag the person down.
"Slow down next time," the boy smirked.
"I'm so sorry!" Mariete said in a rush as she grabbed all of her books and shoved them randomly into her bag.
"No problem," the boy said.
"I gottta go! Sorry!" MAriete said as she stood up and glanced at the boy. It was Victor. She ignored it and ran up the stairs to ELA only to be blocked by Helena.

Helena stood there, outside the staircase exit. MAriete rolled her eyes and tried to push back Helena only to be forced to stay. Helena smirked and grabbed MAriete's arm in a death grip. Helena dragged Mariete to the roof and threw her onto the floor.

"What the god damned hell do you want?" Mariete sneered.
"I want you to stay away from Victor," Helena said sweetly.
"Why should I? It's not like you like him or anything," MAriete said as she rolled her eyes.
"You don't deserve him. You'rea geeky nerd inside, no matter what you do, losers don't become alphas," Helena scoffed.
"Then why don't you figure that out for yourself, because then you're pretty much a loser yourself," MAriete snapped as she grabbed her bag and stood up. She dusted off her white blazer then glared at Helena. "Go talk to your reflection, I'm not the friendless one."

MAriete ran to her ELA classroom just before the bell rang. She slid into her seat and opened up her notebook. Life was so complicated...
