The Bet

Tutoring Daniel was easier than Autumn had thought it would be. Other than all the 99 times he had tried to make a pass at her - she counted - Daniel was a fairly easy person to deal with...when he listened.

"Bam!" Daniel yelled slapping a piece of paper onto Autumns table during lunch. "A B- baby!"

"Wow Anderson," Autumn said looking at his paper, "that's a huge improvement." 

"You're a miracle worker Autumn." Daniel said slipping into the seat next to Jude who moved up sending Daniel one of her disgusted looks.

"No Anderson this is all you."

"Don't be modest Newton." Andrew said as he was leaning on the table next to Daniel. "Coach has been working our asses off none of us have time to study, and whereas I am naturally smart, Dannyboy over here...not so much."

This is only half true, yes Couch Jefferson had been working their asses off but Daniel has been purposely failing knowing that Ms Lewis would make Autumn tutor him or else he would have to quit the team. A full proof plan which oddly enough was devised by Matt.

It was Saturday afternoon and Autumn was sitting in the living room with Gilmore Girls playing on the TV in comfy brown overalls and a green Nirvana t-shirt underneath, when the door bell rang.

"Would you get that?!" Screamed Anthony from the kitchen.

"No!" She yelled back and the door bell rang again.

"Come Aut I'm making you grilled cheese it's the least you could do!" Door bell rang

"I didn't want grilled cheese!" door bell rang

"That's no what you said 5 minutes ago!" door bell rang.

Autumn groaned as she pressed pause on the TV, heaved herself off the couch and walked over to the door and pulled it open and there stood the remaining 4 members of Lonely Aliens, her brothers rock band. 

"Hey." Jesse said as he walked into the house hugging Autumn. Jesse had on a blue hoodie just like all the guys - it was supposedly so they looked like a band??- he wore his with black pants and black loafers.

"Keep your hands to yourself Smith!" Anthony, who rocked his blue hoodie with grey jeans and white air force ones, yelled from the kitchen, Autumn rolled her eyes. 

Next walked in Zander Hayden, with his dark brown hair laying flat on his heard mischief sparkling in his chocolate brown eyes - as always - Zander wore his blue hoodie with black sweat pants and black sneakers. Zander was 3 years younger than Anthony, but the two had been friends since Zander was a freshman.

Behind him was Jeremiah Martin, who's curly black hair was hidden by a black beanie and decided to wear his blue hoodie with black jeans and white high top converse. He smiled kindly at Autumn, Jeremiah and Anthony had been best friends since they were in kindergarten, so Autumn had known him most of her life.

And lastly walked in Cayden Allens, who was matching with Jeremiah "accidentally". Cayden was the clown of the group and despite the two year age gap between him and Jesse the two were practically inseparable since Jesse had joined the band.

Since Jesse had joined Lonely Aliens, the band had been coming over almost every day so they can prepare for their fist gig which was that night. The football game after party.

Which Jude had somehow convinced Autumn to go to, the girl in question walked in after Cayden wearing white jeans, a black top with a blue shirt over her shoulders and black converse on her feet.
