"I bet Marcus is the first to crack the code" I say to Josh whilst sipping my Coke through a straw, staring at Marcus and Wrench typing fast away at their keybaords.

"I don't think so, Wrench has a better advantage as he's hacked into their systems before" Josh mumbles whilst chewing on our shared sweets.

"Yeah, well even so I think Marcus has a better idea of what he's up against, Wrench is just repeating the same process as before. I guarantee they've tried to lock us out" I tell him whilst turning to look at him.

"We could make a bet" Josh suggests, it's not like him to play games like the rest of us, so I take what I can get and agree, "Okay! It's obvious who we're each rooting for, but what do I get if I win?".

Josh stares intensely at the floor for a few seconds before saying "If you win, I'll get you whatever sweets you want, but if I win I want to take you..." He takes a deep breath before continuing, "I want to take you on a date".

I spit my Cola back into my straw and look at him wide eyed, it's not like I don't have feelings for him, I just never expected them to be returned back.

I nod silently, words not being able to come out of my mouth.

After a few moments of gaining my confidence, I ask him "But if Marcus gets in within 5 more minutes, I want pizza" I smile and stare at the two hackers in front of us, rather than looking Josh in the eyes right now.

I hear him shuffle before a 'hmm' of agreement comes from him.

Not even five minutes later, Wrench cheers and Marcus repeats "Man shit" over and over.

I've lost the bet, but it's one I'm happy to lose. I look to Josh who has a wisp of a smile on his face.
