Skipping Stones Over Lilly Pads

The Bet

"No, now if you'll excuse me I have to get home. I don't have time to be standing in the rain talking to someone like you. " I said while gritting my teeth.

"Just wait a minute, how could you not believe in love?" He asked incredulously. "I mean even I believe in love."

"Because I just don't, now I have to go. Plus aren't you supposed to be in school still?" I asked him.

"Yeah, but I got bored so I ditched. What about you, your supposed to be in school too." He replied

"Thats really none of your business "

"Well then, if your not gonna tell me why you're not in school at least let me give you a ride home. I mean after all I did almost run you over."

"There is no way in hell I'm gonna let you drive me home im perfectly capable of walking." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh come on! Please just let me drive you home its the least I could do" Drake said while giving me a little smile

"Fine you can drive me home"

"Really?"

"No" And with that I spun around on my heel and started to walk away. I was seriously regretting not bringing a sweater today. Although I love rain I'd rather walk home while it was sunny, especially due to the fact that I'm wearing a sleeveless crop top.

I had been walking for about 15 minutes ,when I heard a car pull up besides me. Without seeing who the person was I already knew that it was Drake.

He rolled down his window.

"Stop being so stubborn and just let me give you a ride home, I mean it's not like I'm lowkey trying to rape you." he smirked "But then again it's not rape if you like it " Then winked.

"I'm not getting in your car. " I told him in a serious tone.

"Please??" He said giving me the puppy dog eyes.

Then he lifted his right hand and said,

"I solemnly swear that once Lilly Chambers enters my car I will not do the following things. I will not sexually harass her , mentally physically, or verbally. I will not try and hit on her,with my flawless charms and I will not kidnapp her."

I look a him with confusion and give him a small smile.

"Fine " I said as I opened the door and hopped in his car.

Once I was in his car I gave him my address and he typed it into his gps and started driving again.

"So tell me Lilly, why don't you believe in love?" Drake questions breaking the silence.

"I already told you why"

"No you said "because I just don't" but Lilly we both know their is a real reason behind that. Everyone has there secrets Lillian and I'm determined to find out yours"

I grimaced as I heard him call me by my full name, but instead of replying I stayed quiet.

"How about we make a bet. " He said while pulling up to my drive way and parking outside my house.

He turned to me "I have till the end of the year to make you believe in love."

I turned to him and started laughing, "Drake Stone you ,out of all people, think you can make me believe in love ? " I said raising an eyebrow.

"It's possible"

"But not possible to do in 3 and a half months"

"Well that's why its a bet, bets are never easy to win, Lillian"

"Okay, well what happens if you lose the bet what do i get?"

"Well thats completely up to you."

"Fine " I said agreeing to this bet.

I unbuckled my seat belt and walked to my door step unlocking the door and walking in only to find a pissed off mom.

"Lillian Marie Chambers, I am so disappointed in you!"

"Look mom, I'm sorry but can you just ground me already so I can go in my room, and mom it's Lilly."

"No Lillian, I can't believe you got suspended. I would except this from Mason but not you, definitely not you."

Everytime I get in trouble it's always that same exactly sentence "I would except this from Mason but not you, definitely not you." Mason is my 18 year old brother who goes out and parties almost all the time, actually he's the one who told me to steer clear of Drake. But just because he's not good,I have to be the precious little angel.

"Mom, I love you and all but I promise I won't do it again, so please just ground me and get over it." I already had enough lectures today.

"Fine, your grounded for a month. That's means no televison and no going out, other then the detention you have to serve." My mom said sternly.

"Wait no television? But mom Teen Wolf just started up again and I can't miss it! Plus Netflix is my baby I can't just leave them for a month! " I complained.

"Take away my phone or something" I told her trying to reason things out.

"No Lillian, that's your final punishment there will be no changes."

"Ughh " I then ran upstairs to my room and jumped face first on my bed ,exhausted. I feel my eyes slowly drift into darkness.
