His Bet

Chapter Nineteen

Busting out of the room because of rage consuming me, eating and crushing my ego I dialed Ace number. I can't believe I'm dragging her in this pit of black misery of ours. I gotta get this fucking Bet Game stop quick. It was just a few hours after I visited her but time is precious. I shouldn't be wasting my time sitting around while my brother is crushing my ego and taunted me to get and hurt Ace before me. Who was he kidding? He knows how I play, he knows how good I am with playing dirty. He wants this dirty, ain't it? Okay.. I'll give it to him. But I have to take Ace myself. Pacing back and forth on the parking lot waiting for her to answer..

"God damn it!" I shouted in frustration kicking some random stone.

She's not answering. I dialed again her number tapping my fingers feeling eaten by suspense. On the nth ring she answered.

"What?" Man.. She doesn't really have any poise and i-want-to-impress-a-hot-guy attitude. My angry stance a while ago lessen for a bit when I heard her voice.

"Meet me after class kitty." I answered making my voice gently as I can though my insides is rambling.

"Uh.. What's up?" I can imagine her confusion because of my sudden invitation. I didn't even bother to ask her if she want to but for Pete's sake! I'm not letting Chris get Ace. I know him too much. He can't hurt Ace.

"I wanna see you kitty." I breathed. I feel my chest is throbbing just like I've ran miles. What the fuck is that?

Lub dub lub dub.

Crampling my chest to make this anonymous feeling stop I gritted my teeth. Is that fucking nervousness?

"O..kay?" She's not believing me I can feel it.

"I'll pick you up after class. Just let me Ace.." I said pursing my lips hoping for her to agree.

"I'll ask Red if-" Before she can finish I cut her off.

"Tell him you have something to do. It's not like you have to tell him about your whereabouts. He's not even your boyfriend." I suddenly protested. Mentally slapping myself because of what I've said I heard her say..

"Uh.. Okay?" She said plainly.

"I..I'm sorry Kitty. I didn't mean to.. I'm just having a bad day you know." I reasoned rubbing my hand on my face. I feel stressed. Why do shits pile up in just one day that can literally drain your mind and body out.

"It's okay. I'll just text him not to pick me. I'll be dismiss in 10." I finally let a breathe I didn't noticed I was holding.

"Perfect. Parking lot block 5." I informed her before I heard her hang the phone up.

Mid running towards my car I get inside before starting up the ignition and roaring through the road.

In ten.

I arrived at the school's parking lot parking at block 5 as exactly what I told her. Getting out of the car I wait for her to appear leaning my back on the passenger seat door circling my car keys on my index finger while my free hand shoving inside my pockets. As I wait for her almost 3/4 of the student body is glancing at me while they passed by. Some of them whispers to the other, I may not be hearing them but I'm sure they are talking about me. Its been normal for us. The brothers. And for me..

Looking at my watch I heard someone's approaching me. I high up my head smiling.. Then I saw a girl, who's completely not familiar.

"Hi." She said smiling batting her fake eyelashes on me. My smile dropped. Damn it I thought it was Ace. Where is she?
