The Scott Girl

To Wish Impossible Things

"Oh god, it's Tim!" I yell with laughter.

We were all at the Annual Boy Toy Auction in the gym. I stood beside Haley and Peyton.

''Do I hear $30?'' Whitey calls.

Tim does this horrible dance, causing us all to laugh at him.

''Oh no. That poor boy. " I laughed.

''How about $20?''

''That boys going to pull something.'' I heard a woman yell.

''Can I get a ten spot?'' Whitey begged.

''I suppose I have some chores around the house. $8?'' Deb called.

"Sold!"Whitey announced, causing even to laugh.

''Oh Jake's up next. How much money do you have?'' Haley asks me.

"$90 bucks.''

Peyton looked at me.

''Okay.''

Jake comes out in the Ravens' mascot with his jersey on.

"$20." Peyton said.

Haley and I narrowed our eyes at her.

"I have a bid for $20. Do I hear $30?"

''$30.'' I call out, shooting Peyton a glare.

Jake starts taking off parts of the costume, causing me to wolf whistle.

"Take it off!" Haley yells, elbowing me playfully.

"$40?"

"$40." Someone in the crowd yelled.

''$40. Right over there.'' Whitey yelled.

"$50." I called.

"$50. Going, going.'''

''$75.'' The same voice called.

''Who the hell is that?'' Peyton stated looking around.

"$75." Whitey looked at me.

"Bet it all.'' Haley said.

"$90!'' I yelled.

"Going once.''

''$100.''

We all looked around.

''$100.Going once.''

''Who's bidding on Jake?'' Haley asked.

''Going twice. Sold! For $100 American. The highest man of the night, Good job Jaglieski.'' Whitey clapped.

Jake shot me an apologetic look, blowing me a kiss.

"Why did you bid on Jake, Peyton?'' I asked.

''To give you competition, though that bitch took it away from me.'' P smiled.

''I thought Blake was going to slap you Peyton.''

''I was going to.'' I shrugged.

''Can we go find this bitch?'' Haley asked.

''I got it. You two stay and bet on my brothers.''
