Heartbeat

Chapter 1

"I told you no Maggie, and I meant it."

"Come on Bethany, my parents gave me two tickets for the Heartbeat concert, and they're not going to go with me, and you're my best, and only friend, and-"

"I said no Maggie."

"Pretty please."

"Ugg. Maggie, you know that I hate all boy bands ever, well except maybe the Beatles, but they don't really count, but I really hate Heartbeat, and you know that."

"But Bethany-"

"Look I know that your life practically revolves around them, but I think that they are extremely annoying."

Maggie was in love with the boy band Heartbeat. Like so many other girls she was completely, and totally obsessed with them. Her parents had given her tickets to their newest concert, for her birthday, and she had already tried to persuade me to come with her a million times now. I had said no every time, but she still wouldn't back down. I was getting really fed up with her, and was thinking about giving in just so that she would stop asking.

"Please Bethany."

"I've already told you, my answer is n-"

"I didn't want it to come to this but, I'll give you a hundred dollars if you go with me."

My head jerked in her direction. She new my weakness. Money. I was always broke, because I had no way to earn money on my own. My parents don't even give me an allowance.

"You don't even have a hundred dollars." I challenged her.

She walked over to her dresser, and rummaged around inside it, until she found what she was looking for. She pulled out a sock. Then she reached inside it, and pulled out a huge wad of cash.

"Yes I do." She said.

I just stared at the huge wad of cash in her hand, trying to decide what to do. On one hand, I really needed the money, but on the other hand, I really hated Heartbeat.

"Fine, I'll go, but I'm not going to like it."

"Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She cheered, as she jumped around the room.

I just groaned. What had I gotten myself into.
