"Rob! I'll take cereal, please!" I yell from the staircase as I make my way down and stuff my tote with books. I'm dressed in denim ripped shorts, a plain white T-shirt and a black leather jacket matching my black vans. Yeah, I was feeling a little bad ass today. Speaking of bad ass, my mind keeps going back to yesterday, and it replays everything again and again.
After last night, actually the last few days I just feel this weird feeling, I mean this is just a bet to me right? Nothing more for sure.
But Damian, why is he trying so hard, he should have walked away. It would have saved both of us. Why am I doing it, I can just give up the bet, is it all still about my ego or is there more to it. Argh! Damn it all, there are like a million unanswered questions in my head, I feel like it will burst out any minute. Well for now all I can do is push it all back and stop thinking for a long, mother f-ing while.
"...So should I confirm it then, miss?" I hear Rob asking me while pushing the cereal bowl towards me.
Wait, what? He asked me something... I jerk my head free from my infectious and dangerous thoughts and look up to him in confusion. It was only then, that I realise, Mango as in Sophia, is here too and she's looking at Rob with a horrified face. Like her pet died or something. Oh, I didn't notice anything. We don't even have a pet! What's happened?
"I didn't get you Rob, can you please repeat?" I asked as I dig into my cereal bowl, quite unlady-like if I might say so...
"Um...Uh....I asked if ah... You have any plans today? I mean I will cook accordingly, so should I confirm your... Menu for tonight, Miss?" Rob stuttered and he only does that when he is hiding something. Sophia confirms my suspicions with a long drawn, sigh of relief.
One thing I know, is that neither of them is a good liar.
And after seeing the likes of Bianca and Esthe the past few days, I was getting good at catching a liar.
I narrow my eyes at them and ask, "Rob, what's the deal? You've never asked me for a 'menu' before, so why today? Sophia?" And she turns to me wide eyed, because she knows I never call her Sophia. It's only those rare times when I am on the edge of losing it...
Before Rob answers, she does, "Rob and I have a date tonight, so we just wanted to check if you were coming home or not... So..." And she looks down and blushes hard. From the corner of my eye, I find Rob frowning at her but it changes to a warm smile in a minute.

Oh my god. These two.
They are the cutest. Ever. They deserve a break now.
"Oh my god, you guys... Go ahead, I was already planning on going to Jade's. Yeah! So, I won't be here, have fun you two, and no naughty business eh? Use 'em protection tools." I stood up and pushed my now empty bowl to Rob, grinning, as his ears turned red at my comment and just gave me a nod.
"Oh and the driver's dropping you today!" Watermelon yelled as I picked my car keys up from the glass bowl on the countertop.
Huh?
"What? Why?" I questioned with a frown.
She smirked at me and shook her head a little as if I should understand. And it sunk in. "Oh! Date night, right! Okay, cool! Bye strawberry, Rob take good care of Sally alright?" I warned him, as I walked out to my waiting car.
"Johnson off to school, I am kinda early today, so take it slow, alright." I told our driver, who has been with us for quite long now and he is adorable. He is in his early forties and is super sweet to me. I took an instant liking to him... When I was younger and I still do like him, Peach probably knows this, because most of the time he's the person who takes me around town.
I hear a laugh, drawing me out of my reverie and it's Johnson buckling up.
"Long time baby girl, missed me?" He asks, as he starts driving.
"A lot." I smile and reply.
"Me too... Now buckle up, it's a short ride but you know the rules." He looks pointedly at me.
"Okay, Dad!" I say mimicking a five year old, smiling and rolling my eyes at him. He just shakes his head, he's used to my antics by now.
My life is just, so messed up right now. Esthe won't talk to me, and his shizz with Samantha, I just don't get it. Jade and Matthew, I don't know if I'm just hallucinating in their case, although I strongly believe I am. Then, there is Bianca and her weird behaviour. And last but never the fúcking least, Damian, I don't know what to do with him. Am I still upset with him? I don't think so, after everything he has done for me... My weird as fúck feelings for him, are they real or is it just the stupid raging teenage hormones in me. I mean it's a bet, right? But why do I feel like... There's something real in it...
"We are here!" Johnson stopped the car in front my school gate.
Huh? I shook my head a little, maybe I am over thinking everything. I need to sort stuff with Buns first, because she is acting like a schizophrenic kid and it's worrying the crap out of me.
"I'll see ya, Johnson." I bid adieu and step out of the car with the hope to locate Buns, first.
I slipped my mobile out of my pocket and was about to dial Buns, when a sudden noise made me stop.
Frowning I was about to turn and look but I was rudely interrupted when just like in one of those Fast and Furious scenes, a black and red Bugatti Veyron stopped right in front of me and before I could've reacted the door for the passenger side opened and someone pulled me in.
Whoa! Pros to this person's agility.
And again before I could react for real, the car speeds past the school, I can literally see buildings, trees fading away, so fudging fast.
I turn to my right and see....
"Red...Wait...Power Ranger?" I stutter out loud, shocked. I blinked twice, thrice, rubbed my eyes once or twice...
This is not a dream right I mean what the actual... huh?
The person in the driver seat had on a black leather jacket, denims and a Red Power Ranger helmet. Okay let me be clear here...
This is over the top, downright ludicrous and genuinely creepy as fúck. Like way past creepy.
I try opening the door to just bloody jump out but no this person is too smart, damn you, child lock!
I slowly turn to the weird power ranger guy, "Listen you! Let me out alright. Who the hell ARE you? " I scream at him but all I hear is muffled laughter and his shoulder shaking with the controlled laugh. How dare he?!
Ohhhhh... Now I know who this is!
"ESTHEVAN! HOW DARE YOU! It's you right, you always do stupid stuff like this." I scowled at him. This isn't even funny! I was supposed to do important stuff and here I am trapped in this hotass car but with this dumbfúck. Who's bipolar to boot...
"Esthe, ninja turtles was ok. I could understand that costume because it was around Halloween but don't you think this is a little early, this time? And Power rangers? What else now?! You'll do the SPD THEME SONG? GET THAT DAMN HELMET OFF RIGHT NOW!"
I was about to grab the godforsaken helmet when he stops me.
And I think I hear him whisper "You asked for this..." and the next thing I know, the car halts to stop and the power ranger dressed bestfriend of mine turns to me, shaking his head a little. I'm about to smack him but out of nowhere his hand shoots up to my face and I smell something weird that makes me sleepy.
"Ahhh... What's happening. It's
Esthe, I am going to castrate him for sure", is my last thought as I fall into a comfy slumber.
*************
My head! It weighs like 800 tonnes. Arghhh!
What happened? I slowly open my eyes as I feel salty fresh air hit my face. I see clear blue sky and sit up a little to find sea. Beach! I love beaches, but wait how th... and that's when it all comes back to me, Esthe kidnapping me in a Bugatti Vyeron and being all stupid by wearing the power ranger helmet and shit.
Oh god!
My vision is still a little blurry and head hurts just a little so I am not going after his arse right now. I drop my head back on the lounger that I am lying on and sigh with a smile.
After a few seconds, I try opening my eyes again just to check if it's okay now, but nope still blur.
Am I like gonna lose my facing eyes? Because of a dumb trick my idiotic best friend pulled on me? I keep blinking and that's when through my slightly blurred vision I see a very, very, hot body walking my way through the sea waves with a surf board in hand. Swoon. I blink rapidly just to make sure it's Esthe... But I'm not sure...
Maybe I'm just dreaming it, I close my eyes and lie back once again, shaking my head.
No, it can't be.
