My Date for Prom (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7 - The Bet

"What!!!?"I screamed in shocked. Now the whole restaurant is looking at me. Great.

"What?"I said more slowly.

"You heard me. I want to ask you on a date."he said casually as if he forgot that he was blushing earlier. "Why? Did I make you feel weird?"he asked in confusion. His shining green eyes look at me, wondering. Then he ruffled his auburn hair in frustration. Hey, I'm the one who've been asked. I'm the one who should be in a mess!

"I'm sorry but I need time to think. If that's fine by you."I said.

"Sure."he answered while flashing me his charming smile. Since when did he became so giddy. Luckily James is already here.

"Okay, then. Bye guys."I said awkwardly and headed towards James.

                        ......

"Why the hell did you leave me alone with them!?"I asked angrily as we step out of the car.

"Aren't they your friend?"he asked with a made up confusion in his face.

"Do friends created an awkward atmosfera around them when they're together?"I asked sarcastically.

"Oh."

"Oh!!? James! You're unbeliavable! I know you tried to get away earlier. Urgh! Just go and fix that damn fountain!"I screamed angrily then stomped my feet all the way to my room.

                     ......

"Oh. Hey, sis! I thought there's an eartquake just now."Ethan's head poked out from his door as I was stomping to my room. He is grinning like a Cheshire cat and it is bugging me.

"Ha. Ha. Funny. Coming from a guy who listen to songs that sound like an eartquake."

"Ouch. I'm touché."he said with his hands on his chest acting as if it really hurts him. "What's wrong with you anyway? You're look like an angry giant red tomato."

Whoa. He did not just said that. "You know what? I think you should just cope up in your own room and listen to your terrible music!"I said angrily that stomped on his foot which is now also poking out from his room than scurried away.

I flopped on my bed and sighed. What had happen to my life? I used to have a good one and now it's all mess up.

"If only life could go back from the where it was then, it will be so much easier."I stared at the ceiling then without realising I fell into a deep sleep.

                        ......

I grab a spoonful of who-knows-what and eat it. Gah! It tastes terrible. How could I forgot to bring my packed lunch? Now I have to eat this food which is strangely called mash potatoes. It doesn't even have gravy. Or it had dried? Who knows. School's food suck. Big time.

"Hey, Kathy! Mind if I join you?"Erica asked. She actually look a little overdress today. It's like she's expecting a party to happen in school. She's wearing a bright red dress!

"Sure. But why do you wear a dress, anyway?"I asked out of curiousity.

"Oh. I have a tea party I need to go with my mom later and I'm too lazy to change so...."she paused expecting me to understand which I do clearly"And what are you eating anyway? Enjoying it?"she said and wiggled her eyebrow.

"Of course. It tastes like something I've never eat before."I said then forcefully grin, flashing my teeth.

"Does it ever?"she said. Then we laughed together. Until it was broken by the silence which means 'the queen' had arrived. I don't even turn around until she called my name.

"Kathy! Remember our small encounter yesterday? You know?"she said while making hand gesture."I could've died yesterday."she said dramaticly . Other students who butt in in our conversation gasped in shocked.

"Oh. That would be a terrible tragedy. I would've cried hysterically during your funeral."I said before getting up and picking my tray. Erica get up from her seat too before Brad and his minion came in. Great.

"Hey! Going so soon?"he said then flashing his white straight teeth at me. Then he came up to Lydia and kiss her. Ew. I've been blinded. I sneak quietly hoping they wouldn't catch me but of course I forgot about his two minions.

"Hey! Where are you going to?"said Calvin.

"Oh. Just somewhere called class. If you do notice you have one too so....bye."I said then tried to get away when they blocked my way.

"Kathy, why don't you sit next to me."she said while patting the chair beside her. Urgh. Hell no I'm going to sit next to her and Brad. "Yeah. Why don't you join us?"Brad said. His dark hair is a little bit messy maybe after the make out session. Disgusting. That sounds like a threat. I better do what they told if I want to get back to class quick. I sighed.

"What is it?"I asked.

"Oh, honey. You must be lonely in this school. Even Erica was long gone."she said with sad eyes. Duh. I told her to."You must be a loner. Someday you're gonna get old and end up in a those house where they keep old people with no one to turn to."she said.

"What's your point for saying this crap cause I got to go, sociopath."I spat angrily.

"Are you mad? Haha. Don't be. At least a sociopath like me are not alone. Unlike you. Alone with that sad puppy eye. It was annoying. Even now."she said then pout her lips.

"At least I am not a social climber like you. Desperate for attention. And I have friends whom doesn't concern you."I said then get up to leave.

"Hold on, Kath. If you do have friends, you need to prove it. I mean you would be a laughing stock if you don't. Especially when prom is coming. Imagine you alone in your terrible sense of fashion dress holding a glass of punch, watching other people dance. That would be pathetic."she laughed. The nerve of her.

"So?"I said.

"So, why don't you bring a friend to the prom. Oh, no. To get even better, why don't you bring a date? Since you have friends. You could just choose one for a date."she said.

I can't do that. Who am I going to  bring? Eric? It would be extremely awkward. But if I don't say yes, she would bug me for my entire life.

"Fine. I will bring one."I said then get up.

"Wait for a moment. We should shake hands. To seal our deal."she said then show me her hand maybe to shake it.

"No way. We already seal our deal. I'm not touching your hand. Gross." I said then walked away.

"You better bring a date, loser!"I heard her screamed from the cafeteria followed by laughters. Jocks and jerks.

Huh. Whatever. I could bring one. There would be a lot of guys I could bring. I can't wait to see her face on prom. It will be epic. She might look like a choking blonde rat. Haha. I laughed at the thought of her looking like a rat.

Little do I know by accepting the bet, my life would turn completely upside down.
