To say I was shocked, would be the biggest understatement of the year.
I was flabbergasted. Love will be my opponent here. What if I was the first one to fall? What a stupid question, right?
But then again, my friends didn't complained when I told them what the consequences are when it was their turn. Its not fair on my side, and besides, where the hell would I get 200 dollars? I can't just ask my dad for the money regarding the stupid bet.
I can't believe what I'm going to do next.
I sighed and pretended that its not that big of a deal. I can handle my emotions. Its just a game. No one's gonna get hurt here. Who the fuck am I kidding? Its like one of those movies, where the boy bets about a girl and he falls for her and then he just forgets about the stupid bet and then they live happily ever after.
My life wasn't meant to be a happily ever after.
"And if I made him fall for me?"
"Then we'll do whatever the hell you want." Nicole says seriously and Ash smacked her head. "Ow!"
"We'll decide after you've made him say 'I love you',"
I held out my hand and the three of them shook it one at a time. "Deal,"
What the loving hell have you gotten yourself into, Andy?

It was Thursday when I went to Mt. Cloud at exactly 4:45pm. The weather wasn't good, and lightning was flashing through the sky. But just like the last time, Mt. Cloud never failed to surprise me. The aroma of brewing coffee and steaming pastries hit my nostrils as soon as I stepped inside. I went up to the counter and ordered myself a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin.
Even though its raining outside, the place still gave a warm glow, so warm that it overwhelmed my insides. Just like from the old the times with my mom. She used to bring Travis and me to coffee shops and ice cream parlors when we were little. Oh, what I'd do to have her back.
I trudged up the stairs and sat at a mahogany chair as I waited for my order.
A sudden thought flittered through my mind. What if.. I didn't shut Nathan off in L.A.? Nah, it wouldn't have been worth it. He's not my type, and besides he hated my guts now. But, what if..
A pair of hands covered my eyes, disturbing me from my internal monologue. I gasped and my hands flew up to touch the ones covering my eyes. It was soft and warm and from the feeling of it, it was a guys' hand. He was wearing a watch on the left hand. Nico wasn't wearing any watch since I saw him this morning.
But still, I asked, "Nico? What the hell?"
The person covering my eyes lowered their hands and I glanced up to meet the most bluest eyes ever.
He put a hand on his chest, feigning hurt, "That was uncalled for, Andy. Were you expecting someone? Or have you just decided to add an 'O' on my name to insult me?"
"Nick?!" My eyes widened, and I just realized that he haven't paid me yet from last summer. So I smacked him on the head. Or at least I tried to. The guy was a freaking cheetah. He ducked and already ran about thirty feet way from me.
"Nick! What the fuck!" I shouted. And immediately regretted it as soon as I've said this asshole's name. But he was really testing my patience. He poked my sides from behind and I swung my right hand, aiming to hit him on his big head. But as I've said, he was fast. And unfortunately my hand collided to a bookshelf. So hard that I've heard something crack. "Holy.."
