So I manage to grab Mila before meeting Jackson at the canteen.

" WTH!? What's wrong with him ?! " screamed Mila after hearing what happened to me.
" I don't know ! What's with him being jealous all of a sudden? It's the first. Don't you feel something's fishy between Kris and Jackson? " I asked.
" Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he's on his period LOL" , Mila laughed and I slapped her arm.
" I'm serious here. I just don't want to be in a mess between this two. Plus, Jackson's my boyfriend, we've been together for atleast 3 months. Isn't that.. well.. good?" I asked Mila.
" Maybe.. MAYBE NOT! Honestly, ___, I don't really like Jackson as your boyfriend. You guys are cute and all but don't you realise he doesn't listen to what you have to say. It's always about him ___. Can't you see ? " Mila suddenly sounded serious.

I took a few minutes, thinking of Mila's words and I can't help but agree. It is true. My opinions were never appreciated.

In silence, we walked to the canteen. And there was Jackson, with his boys. Probably making fun of Kris... Or maybe me.

" Urm? You wanted to talk? " I asked him.

He eyed his best friend, Jacob as if I was a stranger asking him on a date.

" Yea, I did. Sit here. "

I thought to myself.. " Wow that's how he treats me ? "

" So , about that Kris guy. Don't you ever go near him again. " he meant it.

" It wasn't like I was hitting on him. I was just helping him Jackson. Why can't you see that? "

" You can help anyone , but not HIM! "

" WHY? What's wrong with helping him? It's as if you knew him before I do! What? Were you guys best friends or something? " I shouted.

Jackson jumped, looking mad. Came closer to me and whispered angrily " You have no rights to ask that, don't you dare call him my best friend. "

I was really shocked. I almost got off my seat to sit else where.

" ___, wait. " Jackson said.

" What now? "

" Let's make a bet. "

" What? "

" Yeap. A bet. Now you listen. You want to know how Kris is right? You want to know his story? Well, then go ahead. I give you a month. Be close to him. Like him, or even LOVE him. But once you know how he is, don't come crawling to me. I warned you. "

" You're not making any sense Jackson. "

" I am. You'll see what I mean ___ . " Jackson seemed confident.

" Fine. So if after a month, I don't come back to you, meaning that I won the bet right ? I proved that he is fine, normal, alright, good, great maybe even AMAZING! Right? " I asked, being confident as well but I am not sure what's in store for me.

" I am so sure you'll come back to me. Just that, I wouldn't take you back. " , he smirked.

I left the table. Thinking to myself " Well, I guess I just got into a mess. "

After recess.. I walked back to class.. Didn't realise at first, Kris was sitting alone near the window.

" Hey Kris " I smiled.

" Oh hey, do you want to sit here ? With your friend? I - " He was already up, taking his books to change his seat.

I grabbed his hand right away. " Kris.. "

He looked at me.

" You can sit here. With me. I don't have a partner for Chemistry anyway. Mila went back home early, had some stuffs to settle . " I smiled, moving my hand away, slowly.

" Owh.. " He smiled.

If he knew being close to him was just to win a stupid bet, he'll be really heartbroken.

Doing this just to prove he's fine. Hopefully. What about him did I not know?
