PENELOPE'S POV-

I opened my locker and shoved my books inside. A small paper falling by my feet.

I picked it up and unfolded it.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
This poem doesn't rhyme
You look really cute.
-SA

I smiled softly and tucked it away in my bag.

"Hey penny, what's ya got there?" My locker was slammed shut by none other that Ashton and his posse.

"Go away ashton."

He mocked me, "go away ashton. Ya know you should really have some respect for me. Considering the power I have over this school. Carmichael High. And, I, Ashton Carmichael, wouldn't want to have you punished."

"Can you please just leave me alone?"

He grabbed my bag and ripped it out of my hand, grabbing the paper from the pocket, "aw. How cute. Who's "sa""

"I'm gonna assume its Secret Admirer."

"Someone's trying to get what's mine. Tsk tsk" he crinkled it up and shoved it in his pocket. "That's not gonna happen"

Ashton was my bully, sure. But about a year ago, he was also my best friend/ first love. And I made the mistake of telling him. He then laughed in my face and told the entire school. And I only told him because I lost my virginity to him the night previous. I was just s game to him, he seemed to think he owned me.

"I'm not yours. Now leave me alone. You seem to forget the secrets I know about you." i glare at him and rip my bag out of his hands, "it'd be pretty embarrassing if someone fiund out"

"You wouldn't dare. I'd rip your throat out if you did. Don't test me, babe."

"Leave her alone, dude."

"I was wondering when the knight would show. Oliver." Ashton looked at him. "We are just having a chat."

"I don't usually chat about ripping peoples throats out but I mean, whatever floats your boat." He looked to me and pointed his head toward the door, "get going. Its gonna rain and I know you walk."

"thank you"

"Don't mention it."

I walked down the hall while he kept the three stooges occupied so they didn't bother me while I was on my way home.

Oliver was your average bad boy. Sold drugs on the not-so-downlow. Got into fights for no reason. Skipped classes. Played with girl's hearts. Slept around.  He even has a motorcycle, I don't know why though. His dads hate it.

OLIVERS POV-

"So you the one leaving her notes?" Ashton asked.

"Notes?" I asked.

"She gets a new one everyday. Been happening for a week." he said handing me a piece of paper.

I uncrinkled it and read it. Mad because someone was trying to get the attention of my girl.

Penelope was an innocent flower, has never done wrong. Ever. I wanted her bad. Ever since last year. After this jerk ripped her heart out of her chest and stomped on it.

He bragged about it for weeks. How he took the innocence from her and just walked away. Peneople was very very attractive.

She doesn't seem to think so, but boy did God spend a little extra time with Her. 

"Stay away from her." I said stuffing the note back in my pocket.

"No. Let's just say, I want back in her pants."

"You'd have to go through me."

"Let's make a bet then. First one in gets her. The other has to stay away. Til graduation." he holds his hand out.

I wanted him no where near her, and graduation was still 7 months away, being as it was only the beginning of October.

I shook his hand firmly.

Then walked out of the school. I hopped on my bike and rode down the street I knew she'd be walking down.

Taking bets on a girl is low. Really low. But if it means that he stays away from her, then so be it.

I pulled up beside her and stopped.
"Let me give you a ride, you're not gonna beat the rain"

"A little rain won't hurt"

"Hop on"

"Motorcycles scare me" she said looking at it.

I took my helmet off and got off the bike.
"I'm a wonderful driver." I put the helmet on her and fastened it. I hopped on then patted behind me.

"Please don't kill us"

Her voice was so small.

"I won't" she tightened her grip around my waist as I took off. She squealed and I chuckled.

We made it to her house a few blocks away, right before the rain hit.

I unfastened her helmet and smiled. She straightened out her plaid skirt and thanked me.

"I'll see you around, Penelope"

She smiled and walked inside.

"A bet?! A bet?!" My dad yelled.

"Chris, lower your voice. I just put Genevieve down."

"James"

"Chris" they both gave each other hard stares. 

"I only made the bet because I want him away from her." I said breaking their staring contest.

"You don't place bets on people, Oliver. I get it. You're a teen. I'll deal with the bad behavior. The fights. The death trap you call a motorcycle, cause eventually you'll grow up," he slammed his hand down on the counter, "but I will not deal with you placing bets on other humans. So you tell Ashton the bet is off, and then you tell Penelope the bet and apologize" 

"Dad, he torments her. Everyday at her locker. If only you could see her face. She gets flushed first because she doesnt like his loud voice. Then she stares at her feet, in some kind of submissive way. He pushes her around and takes her shit. Makes her feel like she's nothing. So you're telling me I have to break that shit up everyday, rather than him just staying away because of this bet?"

"honey, I know you're doing this out of the goodness in your heart. But when she finds out, thats gonna hurt." James said.

"She won't find out then."

"If you play with fire you're bound to get burned"
