Saturday 5:30pm

After an agonisingly long month of no contact with Dylan, apart from the occasional bumping into each other in the hall, I finally received a text from him saying,

From: D

Meet me in the woods @ 6. We need 2 talk.

I didn't bother texting back, instead I ran straight for my wardrobe throwing my joggers off and pulling on my skinnies and a jumper that said 'I Love You'. Ironic, huh? I left my hair in the messy ponytail that it was in and pulled on my blue Nike Blazers. I bounded downstairs, calling a quick goodbye to my dad, and headed towards the woods. I needn't worry about getting lost because me and Dylan had a special place that we would meet. It was completely surrounded by the tree's and it was simply beautiful. A thousand and one thoughts were running through my mind as I reached our spot. Everytime I was with Seth all I could think about was Dylan.

I was sat on the hood of Lex's car, chatting with her about the upcoming Paramore concert when suddenly, arms wrapped around my shoulders and someone pressed their lips to my cheek. I fought to hold back to grimace that wanted to appear on my face. Instead I smiled through my teeth and turned to face Seth who was staring at me with some unknown emotion in his eyes. Was it love? No. Impossible. I quickly dismissed that possibility when he smirked at me.

"Hey babe." He purred, squeasing my shoulder a little too hard. I glared at him my eyes full of hatered.

"Don't call me babe!" I spat and shrugged his arm off me. Seth tutted at me and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Hunnikins, don't be like that. I just want to hold my girlfriend. Is there anything wrong with that?" He said, dragging out the word 'girlfriend'. I rolled my eyes and looked up. Dylan was at the other side of the car park staring at me. I blushed but didn't look away. Oh how I wished that that was Dylan's arms around me and not Seth.

I looked around but all I saw was tree's. I suddenly began to panic; what if this was all just a ruse to get me out here, so that I could just be stood up. I turned to walk away when I suddenly heard it. His voice. That lovely, soft voice, that I had longed to hear for a whole month.

"Did you really mean what you said?"

I turned around and my heart skipped a beat. There was Dylan stood leaning against a tree, looking at me. His hair was all scruffy, I loved it, and he was holding a single red rose. I smiled nervously.

"Yes, I did."

Dylan pushed of the tree and walked towards me. He handed me the rose and smiled when I blushed. He leaned down and touched his forehead to mine. I looked into his warm brown eyes, filled with love.

"Good then this will mean something to both of us."

His lips touched mine with the slightest pressure and my heart stopped beating, then took off into overdrive. Dylan large hand's settled on my waist, whilst I wrapped mine around his neck, playing with his hair. Just as the kiss was about to get heated, my phone started ringing.

I'm sexy and I know it. Really Seth, really?

I pulled away and I heard Dylan cursing under his breath. I touched my forehead to his and giggled.

"I'm sorry it's probably Seth." Dylan laughed bitterly, shaking his head.

"You've fallen for him haven't you Ash?" I turned away from him and giggled again.

"Nope." I said, popping the p. "I still have another month left to stick this bet out for and I will be damned if I let Seth win. Once it's all done and dusted with, evrything will go back to normal. Promise. I'll ring you later." I kissed him on the cheek and took off running back home. I cannot believe that has just happened. I just kissed my crush.

I JUST KISSED MY CRUSH!

I'm still pissed though that I had to leave Dylan - sweet, funny, amazing Dylan - for a player. I can't believe how I got myself into this mess in the first place.

Stupid pride.

I missed talking to Dylan, I missed cuddling up on the couch and watching Toy Story and chatting on the phone till 3 in the morning.

Only 30 more days.

30 days of hell.

I couldn't wait for this to end. I couldn't wait to have a real relationship with Dylan and not a shity fake one with Seth. I couldn't wait to be in a relationship where, the guy actually cared about me and didn't ditch me to go out with his mate's to the skate park, like Seth did. When I finally arrived home I found Seth sat on the steps with his head in his hands.

"What's up Seth?" I asked, getting straight to the point. He looked up at me, his normally bright blue eyes, clouded with anger. He shoved his phone in my hand but didn't say a word. He didn't need to. Lit up on his screen was a picture of me and Dylan kissing.

That's a pretty awesome picture. I should get him to send me it.

"That's what's up! My mate saw you and sent me this! Why?" Seth trailed of, sounding defeated. I was speechless. I finally found my voice.

"YOU HAD SOMEONE FOLLOW ME!" I exploded. "WHY? WHY? BECAUSE I LOVE HIM THAT'S WHY! AS SOON AS THIS STUPID BET IS OVER ME AND DYLAN ARE GOING TO BE TOGETHER!" I shouted, getting all up in his face. Seth just stared at me.

"I love you Ash." I stood silent, wide eyes, and my mouth dropped open. "You win."

I couldn't believe it. "What did you just say?"

He looked up at me. "I LOVE YOU ASH! OK, YOU WIN!"

I was speechless. I looked behind Seth and saw Dylan strolling up the road. Seth followed my gaze.

"I won." I stated as Seth looked back at me. "You fell in love with me and I'm sorry that you did. I want you to 'break up' with me tomorrow in front of the whole school." Seth nodded solemnly. "I will act all distraught and run over to Alexis and then you can go back to your player ways."

"Okay." Seth agreed, and I stuck my hand out.

"Friends?" Seth half smiled.

"Friends." He shook my hand. "I'm sorry that I made you and Dylan fall out. Just - don't tell anyone that I told you, I love you? No one has to know it was a bet." He added and I smiled

"Deal. See you tomorrow Ex-Boyfriend."

"Yeah see you."

Seth hopped in his car and took of down the street. I let out a big sigh of relief. Finally free. I walked back inside my house and practically skipped upstairs to my room. I climbed back into my bed and for the first time in months I slept peacefully without a care in the world.
