         "Fuck" I think to myself as I walk up and down the hallway trying to come up with a plan that will result in Zoey being my girlfriend.

Should I be a gentleman? Should I tell her straightforward what needs to happen? Do I bribe her? God I'm fucked. Without even finishing my train of thought I see her standing there, reading a text looking annoyed. Is now a good time? I wonder if I should approach her now but I know my friends are waiting for this "relationship to become official.

I take my time and give my most confident walk as I head over to her. She can tell I'm coming over she looks confused but not moving away because the curiosity is killing her.

"Hi" I say smiling at her trying to be as convincingly happy as possible. She stares at me trying to figure out what I could possibly want from her.

"Um, no" Responding quickly before walking away. I quickly chase after she is going to have to fight to get rid of me.

"Wait please!" I'm screaming at the top of my lungs this point realizing being nice and trying to create this relationship naturally wasn't going to happen. Zoey quickly turns around and looks at me curiosity leaving her to look my way.

"What possibly could you need from me?" I don't even respond I just pull her away from the crowds to go talk to her privately in an abandoned classroom.

"Okay listen I know you will think I'm crazy but you just gotta listen. I made a bet with my friends  that I could stay in a relationship for three months and with out thinking I told them I was talking to you." She looks at me and almost laughs in makes me feel humiliated.

"Here's the deal if you want me to help you, you need to help me." I stare at her confused but ready to listen.

"Money, 200 a month" Now I'm the one laughing at her. If this is the only way to get her to be mine then I guess... No snap out of this Gavin it isn't worth it.

"Never mind" I say walking away getting ready to throw in the towel.

"Wait, 100 a month if you really want this." I'm confused at her sudden urge to help me but I decided it isn't worth worrying about right now.  I'm apprehensive but I decide to trust this almost complete stranger.

"You promise to follow along"

"With all of my heart gavie-wavie" She smiles and places a kiss on my cheek as she walks away. I'm laughing thinking for the first time this could actually work out.

"See you tomorrow honey" Smiling and walking in the other direction, I can't wait to win this bet.
