His Bet

Chapter Eight

The bell rang. I got up from my chair, grab my bag and walk to the door. Red's waiting for me outside because he said he want to hang out. He know what kind of hang out I'm up. Rushing to the hall way I left my books and grab a few before I locked it up and headed to the parking lot. Few meters away I saw Red his back resting on my car, his hands on his pockets while kicking some random stone. And I just thought that he's thinking about something.

"Hey.." I greeted the moment I'm now in front of him. He smiled at me.

"I don't have my car today. I leave it to Uncle Ben so we're using your car." He explained while getting my stuff from me. I handed my car keys to him. Its always him who drives when we just have mine. He first open the passenger door for me before he run towards the other side. I tuned the music on.

"Where are we hanging out?" I asked as he entered. He start up the ignition, a smirk on his face.

"My apartment." He simply said roaring  the car through the road.

The whole ride is full of chatter. We talk about school. Funny things and some random stories. We first drop into a convenience store grabbing some food to eat. According to Red we'll watch something. He knows how I love to watch movies. I found it more fun than strolling in the mall. I don't like too much people so I usually lock myself up in my apartment.

After the short ride I pull out from the car and get the paper bags at back seat. Red get it from me and we now head upstairs. We don't have classes tomorrow because the professors will be in a meeting. I don't know about that. Hearing from the crowd that there's no classes delighted me. Its already been announced why would I bother ask.

We are now in the hallway and paused in the front door to fish out his keys from his pocket when we heard a thump inside his apartment. We snap our heads at each other with a frown.

"What was that?" I asked puzzled.

His brows were in a frown when he shrug for an answer.

Someone's inside.

Aside from me, there's no one knew Red's apartment. His council members doesn't even know where exactly he lives.

So who the hell could be inside?

A thief?

My heart beat race because of the idea of a thief inside. What if he killed us because we caught him?

I put up my stance on cue to run if everything went wrong. Just in case.

Turning my head to him he look down at me and gave a nod. Gesturing me to get ready so I nodded back.

Slowly and quietly he opened the door and again..

A bunch of boys are now staring at us.

My eyes grew wide with bewilderment.

Silence.

"What the fuck are you guys doing here?" Red asked breaking the silence with full irritation on his voice.

"Is that a proper way to greet your brothers?" The Chris guy said chuckling.

I just stand up right there dumbfounded.

The five guys are on the living area while the television's on. Chris, Tristan, and Kalvin are at the couch. While Simon and Brix slumping at the carpet.
