It wasn't just a Bet

Friends Reunited?

First day of school always eventful.... Now time for my third most "favorite" time of my day. Cheerleading practice, being co-captains with Samantha is like trying to live with a lion it just doesn't work. Hopefully she keeps her bitchiness down to at least an level 5.

"Destiny, are you ready to be captain of the team?" Channel came to me, I rolled my eyes. Each year, a new girl is promoted head cheerleader. I'm usually always second place, because Samantha just always has to be center of attention. "The day I become head cheerleader, is the day hell freezes over." I said, before getting my cheer bag out my locker. "Well she is Samantha the Slut. She is like our own mini devil so..." Channel said, before laughing, with me joining her. "Let me go pick up Trey. Ms. Minnie is having an early bingo night." I grabbed my keys, "I'll take your stuff, remember we recruit the new cheerleaders." Channel said, before grabbing my book bag and cheer bag. I nodded, running to my car. I only have 40 minutes and Minnie's house is at least 15 minutes away, 20 with traffic.

But just my luck, my car decides not to start. I grab my hair in frustration, trying to think of a way to get there. L'niyah's car was in the shop and Channel doesn't have one. I hear a knock on my window, I jump in shock. And of course it is Will, I roll down my window "What?" I asked, it came out a little harsh than I meant it to be. "I saw you having trouble with your car. I um, wanted to see if you needed help." He said, nervously playing with his one pointed ear, like when we were younger. I let out a little giggle, but quickly going back to my distant self. "Don't you have detention?" I asked, getting out the car, standing chest to chest with him. "Yeah, but it's one detention, I have skipped many." He said, like it was normal. I shook my head, knowing I'm going to regret this. "I have to pick up my brother from my friend's house. Can you drive me over there please?" Playing with my necklace, a nervous habit. "Yeah. You still have the necklace I gave you?" He asked out of shock, I just nodded feeling embarrassed that I still wore it after everything he has done. He must of saw my discomfit and grabbed my hand taking me towards his car. His hands felt warm, soft but also rough it was nice. His car was a black Lamborghini , with butterfly doors. "Is it safe for kids?" I asked, worrying about my brother safety. He laughed, opening the door for me. "It's safe, I won't drive to fast." He said, before closing my door, I thanked him.

"What is the address?" He asked, starting the car. "419 West Bound Ave." I answered, turning on the radio. One Direction's "18" was on. I loved the song, it was beautiful song. I heard Will lowly singing to the song. "Well, I didn't know you liked One Direction." I teased, he blushed and shook his head "I don't like them, I like some of their songs. This one happens to be one of them." He said, sticking he tongue  out at me. I laughed, "Well this can be our song." Turning to him, he smiled and nodded. For the rest of the ride we laughed, teased each other and sung along to the radio. It felt like we were actually friends again.

"I'll be 10 minutes tops, okay?" I told him, before running up Minnie's driveway. Knocking on her door, hoping she won't be upset about me being late. "Destiny, how are you? Come in. I have tea on." Ms. Minnie said, before pulling me inside. Ms.Minnie is like a second mom to Trey and I. She is always there with open arms, when ever my parents got to the point were I couldn't shield Trey away, she would always be there no questions asked. Ms. Minnie is like our guardian angel in a way.

"Sorry, Ms. Minnie. I can't stay long, I've got practice and my ride is waiting for me outside." I said, feeling guilty for not being, able to stay and talk with her like I sometimes do. She smiled, "Honey, it is okay. Tell your friend to come inside." She pointed to the door, one thing I have noticed is Ms. Minnie always and i mean always wants to meet new people. Wither it's a neighbor or the mailman, she consider them a friend. I nodded, walking outside towards Will's car. I knocked on the window, he reached over and opened it. "Um, Ms. Minnie wants to meet you." I said, nervously playing with my necklace. He nodded, turning off the car. I grabbed, his hand without even thinking. "Ms. Minnie, this is my friend Will. Will this is Ms.Minnie." She pulled, him into a hug. He just laughed and hugged her back.
