I Bet You Can't

Part 20

Hey guys, I apologize in advance for all the different point of views, but I haven't updated in a while so this is sorta a filler chapter. I want to focus mainly on two separate couples, but I know you guys might wonder "what ever happened to Jake and Grace?" or "Is Ezra even in the story anymore?" Well i'll try my best to fit them in somewhere, but I might have to give everyone a separate story instead. Anyway enjoy this new part, it took me a while to break past my writers block. Happy new years!

Artie's POV

I woke up on Saturday missing Casey. We haven't talked in a while. I pulled out my phone and sent her a text, even though she's practically right next to me.

Me- Case! Where you been girl?

As I waited for an answer, I got out of bed and threw on a t-shirt. I stalked down the stairs, my phone in hand, and grabbed my car keys from the little basket. I jogged out the front door, locking it behind me.

I thought today I would do some guy stuff. Not that I don't enjoy hanging out with Casey and doing girl stuff, but I feel like I haven't skated in ages. So I drove to the skate park a few miles away and walked in, board under my arm. I checked my phone once more to see that Casey hadn't answered. I sighed and slipped the iPhone in my back pocket.

As I rolled down the halfpipe, I spotted Luke doing a kickflip and landing it perfectly. I picked up my board and walked over to say hi.

"Sup Luke! Bro where have you been hiding? I didn't see you at all over the summer" I called happily as I strolled up to him. He turned to me and smiled back nervously.

"Oh hey Artie! Um I've just been going through some things recently, sorry we never hung out man." he chuckled, scratching his arm and looking anywhere but at me.

"Hey you okay Luke?" I asked waving my hand in his face.

He set down his board and said, "I bet you cant do a perfect ollie"

I knew something was up, but I let it aside and smirked "Oh you're so wrong"

Luke and I were rolling up and down the half pipes when this jerk on a bmx bike rode through us, causing us to crash. Luke laded on top of me, quite painfully, and my head hit the cement pretty hard. At that moment, I passed out.

I remember being carried and set down someplace and someone complaining about how heavy I was.

Then something stroked my face and I heard a voice say, "I'm so gonna regret this". And a pair of lips were on my own. Soft sweet lips. Even though I wasn't fully conscious, I felt a tingle go straight to my toes. I didn't know who was kissing me, but whoever it was, they were a great kisser. So I kissed back.

I heard the person gasp and I immediately open my eyes... and when I saw them I jumped back and hit my head. Again.

Emalee's POV

I was at Sarah's house playing a video game with her and Jason. Sarah was sprawled out over Jason's lap and he was rubbing her belly. They're so cute. I think I'm gonna barf.

"Hey Sarah? I think I'm gonna go to the bar. You two gonna be okay here alone?"

"Em, aren't you 17? Why are you going to a bar?" she asked after pausing the game.

"To meet cute guys" I answered honestly. Jason gave me a sympathetic look that said, "sorry for making you uncomfortable"

"Oh okay. Call me if you need ANYTHING!" she answered
