Are you mad! I shouted at the guys. I had turned round and saw sally come into the canteen, looking very nervous like she was about to throw up. No way! I said angrily. "There I no way on earth I can go out with sally let alone sleep with her, she's a pastor's daughter for god's sake and I go to her church".  "That why we picked her, idiot!" Michael said coldly. "I don't even talk to her, I don't even know her that well, and she's so weak and fragile" I tried to talk sense into them. "Look anyone in the school, anyone, except her". 

Sorry mate she's our choice Derek said nonchalantly. I thought for a moment, why shouldn't  i?            I hate her now don't I? And I've been looking for a way to get back at her maybe punish her. And what better punishment than this, what punishment will hurt her most than taking her virginity and leaving her to shame. How are you going to get the money? I asked wanting to make sure that they'll pay up.  "My day will give me $500 pounds after selling his car" Michael said. "I have some money saved up from my part time job". And that was all the assurance I need to start on this destructive mission. I was going to get the girl, and get the money, $2000 from all of them combined. "I'm in" I said without any intention of going back on my words. They smiled and cheered and we shook on it. "Let the games begin" Michael Whispered in a low and deadly voice.

After I got back from school, I went home planning a way I was going to approach her and talk to her. I had never talked to her before so she'll suspect I'm up to something. So I have to have a good reason to go and talk to her. My mom was sick that night. she was throwing up and groaning in pain,  her cancer Is getting stronger and when I carried her up to bed she weigh almost half of what he weighed the last time I carried her.  I took her to bed and tucked her in, covering her up to her next and gently stroked her hair and assured her that everything will be okay. She smiled warmly at me, as she he didn't even have the energy to talk. She closed her eye and drifted to sleep.

I kissed her on the cheek and when to the parlour. I just sat there thinking of my mom and everything she's done for me  and how I will give my life to save hers without a second's thought. If there was any woman, I had ever loved in my life is her. Then a thought also breezed my mind about calling my dad and telling him what's happening and then the thought went away as quickly as it came. He left her when he was sick the first time, she survived the first time without him and she'll do it again and I just sat there thinking as I couldn't sleep. I glanced at the clock and it said five-o-clock. I had to get some sleep I had to be up by 7:30. I then began to think about tomorrow, to think about sally and what I'll say to her and suddenly I felt calm and at peace seeing her face in my head, and then sleepy and I drifted into a big slumber.

The next day I rushed into school I had arrived at 9:30 and I was in detention. I was sleep during Miss Dolton English class and was awoken by a loud bang of paper on my desk. Mr Hutchinson, were you out partying last night again? she asked snobbishly. Something like that I replied (I wasn't about to let the class know I was awake taking care of my sick mother.) she gave me and spiteful look "you got an F again Mr Hutchinson, you might want to do less partying and more reading, or you would not be in my class next term. I don't have time for slackers" and she continued giving the papers (I swear sometimes I want to strangle her).

At lunch time I saw sally in the canteen she was using a white cloth to wipe her grapes before she began eating it. I grabbed my lunch a cheese sandwich, an apple and an orange drink and then I did what I have never done before. I went and sat at her table, where she was the only one sitting. (this is only because my friends know about the Bet.)
