The Bet | Cowan

viii.

ROWAN

I hurried towards the table near the popcorns because thats where Cole told us to meet, "heeey! im sorry im late" I said panting

"Oh, its fine!" He said, as soon as he saw me panting too much, he gave me a bottle of water

"Thank you" I said as I gladly accepted it to drink

"The movie's about to start, wanna go in now?" He asked and I just nodded

We sat at the middle because we actually agreed that seating at the middle row would actually be a great spot for watching movies.

We are currently watching Doctor Strange which is a good movie and all and I love it very much.

After the movie

"You liked the movie?" Cole asked smiling

"Yeah, it was pretty good" I said as I smiled back, being with Cole was actually pretty comforting, but, somehow, I felt guilty.. I dont know why but my brain kept on showing Corey's face, maybe I felt guilty that I hurried him way too much an hour ago. I also had a pretty good time with Corey.

Cole and I decided to walk towards Uni because the cool breeze felt refreshing. We talked about silly stuffs, and get to know more about each other.

COREY

I didnt really think about the bet and all when I started to like Rowan, I just suddenly liked her, and it's pretty weird. I mean, I just didnt see that coming.

But she's too numb to know what I feel. Typical numb Rowan.

I didnt want to do the bet AT ALL. But its just hard to tell it to them because I know they'd laugh at me and tease me saying you love the nerd rowan blanchard, actually i gotta admit, when she was the nerd rowan blanchard, she's actually pretty cute. I cant deny that. I didnt tell that to anyone at middle school, well except for my trusting friend bradley. I mean yeah, he can be an arse sometimes, but he's actually my partner in crime.

"Hey bro, you've been spacing out the whole time" Bradley said as he came to sit beside me while the others left, we were actually talking about nonsense kind off things but my mind always wanders to Rowan's face "hello? Earth to Corey?" He said waving his hand infront of me

"You were saying?" I asked facing him

"Pffft, whats that inside your mind, or someone?" he asked smirking

"N-nothing." I said as I grabbed my phone to play with it

"Come on dude, you can tell me anything" he said

"Well— nahh, you'd laugh at me." I said as I looked away

"I promise I wont!" He said as he smiled inocently

I just threw a glare at him and started to tell him things about how I started to like Rowan. I mean, I didnt just like Rowan because she has a pretty face, she also has this unique personality that anyone would love. Klutzy Rowan is my favorite. I find it cute.

"DUDE! HOW THE FFFFFF*** ?! You effin like ROW—" Bradley screamed but before he could even say her name, I quickly hit his head making him to shut up "OUUUCH!" He exclaimed touching his head

"SHUT THE F*** UP!" I exclaimed

He just shut his mouth and chuckled quietly.
