Her Bet

chapter 17

Danton

"Didn't know you enjoy that page."

Barry looks up from his phone nodding. He's been looking through the LOAN-SEN GOSSIP page for a while now.

"Me too. I hate to admit it but it's buzzing . Only when it isn't about you though."

"Mmm."

"Oh my god Danton you're in here."

"What!? "

"It says that "does Laria think we don't know that the principal's son Danton ripped her jaw on Friday."

Panicking I snatch the phone from him and I don't see such . I look at Barry who's dying with laughter . I roll my eyes throwing his phone to him .

"Is this why you want me to tell you stuff."

"I'm sorry, sorry. " He says and stops laughing.

"Hi ." I turn to see Meera hugging me from the back and she does the same with Barry before sitting down.

"Sorry , was still talking to Rakash ."

"What's with this whole Rakash thing."

"Well , he just called me to let me know that he's coming here next month ."

"Wow, he's desperate."

"Barry , behave please. "

"Sorry."

"Anyway, I have good news and bad news. Which one first."

"Good."

"Ok , my mom has invited you guys for dinner on Thursday."

"If that's the good news then I don't know."

"Danton please."

"Sorry. What's the bad news."

"The bad news is , Mr Santo also wants to meet his children's friends on Thursday ."

"Wait , so we're going to hang out with them ."

"You don't have to put it that way Barry . I also have worse news. "

"Oh no."

"So , they requested us to sleep over . They want you guys to sleep over at ours . "

"Why ? "

"I don't know, i think they want me , William and Jess to get along . So they're using friends as a way of help. Do you guys think you can do it , for me please I beg you."

Barry and I look at each other and we sigh before nodding.

" But will your parents be there?"

"I don't think I'm comfortable yet to call them parents but yes ."

"Oh , I hope you're telling the truth. I wouldn't want to be left alone with them."

"Yeah , Mr Santo thought if they gave us space then his kids might throw a party. "

.......

"What are you looking at ?"

Laria turns her head looking at me.

"Nothing. Just examining what I was working with seconds ago."

"Ooo, when did you get nasty Mr De Luca . Did I tell you how hot is your surname."

"No. "

I take a deep breath before letting it out before it eats me whole.

"At the party, you shaded me. Why ?"
