His mom asked me. "Oh! Are you vegetarian?".

"No, only for chickens. Chickens saved my life one time when I was crossing the road".

   Tanner immediately told the cook to change my food, and when we started eating, my cats suddenly jumped on the table and turned everything into a disaster. The look of horror on the faces of the Tanner family was epic. 

"Sorry!".

   I was shocked when Tanner's mom took the cats and started patting them. Unbelievable.

"It's fine. They're just asking for some love".

   I then place my feet on the table and let out the loudest burp. 

"Thanks for the splendid meal". 

"Anything for you, princess".

   Darn! he was such a good actor. After dinner, his mom showed me their family album and I couldn't help it notice how cute baby Tanner was. As I watched him play with his sister, I realized that he wasn't really a self obverse jerk after all.

   While heading out that night, I trip over something as usual and dropped my glasses. Tanner picked it up for me and looked at my bare face lovingly.

"W-wow, your beauty is so unreal. So perfect".

   I realized that he was actually talking to, me. I felt my heart beating faster. He look sincere and it made me feel like I was the most beautiful girl in the world. Apparently, my afford to get ride of him, hadn't work tonight. But, why was I smiling? 

   The next day, Andre sneaks in thru my window.

"Why are you here?".

"There's a party nearby. Come one".

   I told him the party isn't my thing, and besides, I didn't have anything to wear. 

"Say no more, baby girl. Come with me". 

I needed to mess with him more. So I went with him to the mall. He bought me a cute red dress and gave me a makeover. 

"Wow! You look like someone I know".

"Who?".

"My next girlfriend".

"Oh, please".

   I went to the party with Andre and everyone was shocked upon seeing me. They thought I was a totally different person. while dancing with Andre, I couldn't help at notice that Tanner and Lucas were looking at me across the room. a girl walked up to Tanner and started dancing with him. 

   For some reason, the sight made my blood boil. I excuse myself to the toilet and when I came back, Andre was now sweetly dancing sweetly with another girl. Of course, he was a player. So I wasn't surprised. Lucas followed me when I when outside to the garden. 

"I'm sorry about what happened the other day, Athena. I was so stupid for doing such a horrible thing to a pretty girl like you".

   Oh wow! From a JERK to a Romeo. he really wanted to win that bet. 

"I really like you, Athena, and I hope you feel the same way". 

   He look so genuine that I'd almost get carried away. I was about to say something but then someone snatch me away from him.

"Tanner!".

Lucas: "What's your problem, dude?".

Tanner: "That's it! We need to stop this. I won't let you play with her feelings".

Lucas: "What are you talking about? I really like her".

" And pigs can fly, Lucas". 

   Before they could punch each other, Andre came over to stop them and I just stood between them looking like a confused little kitten. 

Andre: "Cut it out, you idiots! She's mine!".

Lucas: "Stay out of this, Loser. You're hopeless. She was about to say yes, to me".

Athena: "Excuse me?! I don't even like you!".

Tanner: "Shut up! You know what? Take the darn money! Here's 10 Million for each of you! Just leave her alone!".

Andre: "Best decision ever, Tanner!".

   I was shocked! Did he just give away 20 Million dollars, just like that? 

Tanner then grab my hand and said. "Get out of here, Athena. You don't deserve to be treated like this".

Andre: "Stop pretending like you really care, Tanner!".

   Tanner looked so furious.

Athena: "Cut it out! I've known about the bet all this time and I've been playing all off you, idiots! You all lose".

   They were all shocked at my revolution. Andre and Lucas grab the bags from Tanner and ran away while Tanner just stood there, shocked.

"I'm sorry for everything, Athena. Goodbye".

   My heart sank as I watched him walked away. My wish was finally granted. the jerks had finally stopped bothering me, and I've should've been happy and relieve, right? But I wasn't. 

   The next day, my mom came running to me with shocking news. Someone called that Tanner had put 10 Million dollars into our account. We're rich! Wait, what?! What was he doing?? I ran to the school to talk to him but he wasn't there...

   For two weeks, there was no sign of Tanner. Then one day, he finally showed up with a gorgeous blonde. She was all over him. After school I found them kissing behind the bleachers. 

I tore him away and ask him about the money, but he walked away saying. " I don't know what you're talking about. Go away".

   As he walk away, I knew he was lying. so that night I when to his house. his mom told me to wait in his room. 

   As I looked around, I saw something that shocked me. My lost anklet! It was placed carefully on his desk. Just then, the door opened and Tanner came in. He look shocked to see me, and the anklet in my hand. 

"Explain this!". 

   For a minute he looked like he was going to deny it everything, but to my surprise, he came forward and held my hand.

"I'm sorry, I agreed to that stupid bet. I'm sorry that I hurt you. I don't want to do that anymore. I tried to forget you and what I did to you. That's why I'm with that girl. Athena, I love you. I always have, since the day I first spoke to you and found your anklet. Can you forgive me?".

"Yes, Tanner! I forgive you".

He look at me expectingly. "Oh, that's it? I said I love you. Do you, um...love me?".

"Oh! Yes, yes! That too".

He rolled his eyes at me and said. "I can't believe I fell in love with you".

"Kinda late for that. Just shut up and kiss me now".
