Stupid Bet

17: I Need An Explanation

" Guess what? " asked Dani as we sat down at a lunch table. It was currently Wednesday and I was in a pretty good mood. 

" What? " I asked as I took a bite from my apple.

" Jarod asked me out!!! " Dani squealed

" Ewww " said Jana

" What do you mean ' Ewww '? " asked Dani raising her eyebrows at Jana.

" You could've done better Dani...." Jana responded as she grabbed her water bottle and gulped. After that I just started to space out. I was remembering how once Belle and I fought over if it was a good idea for her to date the school bad boy Tyler. It turned out not to be a good idea. Tyler broke her heart and Jason being Belle's cousin and best guy friend went to bet him up.

" So do you want to go Zara?........Zara? Zara? Earth to Zara! " I heard my name being called and all of a sudden I was hit by reality.

" Huh? " I say blinking.

" Dani asked if you want to go to Harry's party this Saturday " said Jana in a 'duh' tone.

" Ummmm.....No thanks. " I said standing up.

" Seat. " Dani said in a serious, so I sat. " Why don't you want to party? " she asked in in I'm-in-shock tone.

In my mind I replayed the little memory I had from Saturday night and Sunday when we came back to the house. Mrs. Ryder literally lectured us about why we shouldn't go to high school parties and how I shouldn't drink or accept drinks from anybody. She lectured us for 1 hour 23 minutes 54 seconds. How do I know? I turned on the stopwatch on Dillion's phone. After the great speech of Mrs. Ryder I didn't feel like parting for a very long time.

" Zara?...Zara? " Dani said waving her hands in my face.

" Huh? "

" You space out to much " Jana said as she checked her teeth in the mirror. She liked to see that she didn't have any food in between her teeth.

" So..why don't you want to go to the party? " Dani asked again.

" I'm sorry I just don't feel like parting without my aunts permission. " I answered, not looking Dani in the eye

" Really or is it that you just don't want this to happen to you again " she said lifting her phone up into my view. On the screen there was a picture of me holing a vodka bottle in my hand and Dillion and I kissing. More like eating each other's face. My eyes almost popped out. How is it that I hadn't known about this sooner.

O, ya I didn't have a phone.

" Who posted it? " I asked Dani

" Mark " she answered retrieving her phone.

" Mark Ryder? " I asked looking at her, she nodded.

" Yes, he posted it today. Do you know him? " she questioned, putting her phone back into her back pocket.

" Yes " I growled as I got up from the table. I heard Dani and Jana calling me to come back but I was to pissed off. I was going to look for Dillion. I had to ask him why we were kissing in the middle of the dance floor, and why he didn't tell me. Finally I reached his table. He was seating at the edge of the table laughing with his friends. I tapped his shoulder.

" Dill's can I talk to you? " I tried to ask in my sweetest tone.

" Sure thing, princess " he said as he got up and excused himself from his friends. I smiled sweetly and said it would just be a minute. I grabbed his hand and lead him out the cafeteria doors.

" Let me see your phone " I said looking at him.

" What's wrong? " he asked taking his phone from his back pocket.

" Theirs a photo I want to show you and I want you to explain to me what's going on in the photo " I said as he handed me his phone. I logged on to instagram and went through many trouble but finally found the photo. Before I could show him the photo the cafeteria doors burst open. Dani and Jana standing their. When they saw Dillion and I standing their, they excused themselves and left down the empty halls. I showed Dillion the photo.

He looked shocked. " I c-can explain " he said nervously.

" Okay, explain " I say motioning to the photo. He looks nervous and doesn't explain. Instead he makes up a lame excuse to tell me later.
