Chapter 5 - Another Stupid Bet

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

Hazel's POV

'HAVE YOU HEARD THE LATEST NEWS!"

Frank rushes towards me and skids while trying to halt, almost crashing into my locker.

"What? You peed in your pants again Frankie?"

"Shut up you donkey!" He sticks out his tongue and I do the same.

"So apparently Mr. Calvin made another bet!" He taps his palms on the locker, beating it like a drum.

"Thanks Frank for the amazing revelation! You want me throw some flower petals in the air."

"Would be better if you could throw yourself along with it too." He retorts clearly annoyed with my lack of enthusiasm towards his 'breaking news'.

He opened his mouth to say something again but our attention was diverted when a chipmunk approached him.

"Hey Frank." She greeted all the while sliding her hand slowly onto his shoulder. I cringe internally as soon as I hear her overly sweet voice.

Frank is a popular guy in campus. He's ranked as the most handsome guy for three consecutive years by a very unreliable source that is, these crazy fangirls.

Though he has never even spared them a glance. I don't know why they go crazy over him. He just looks like an idiot to me.

I fold my hands as I stare at Candice. She really is bold enough to approach him. Then again, she's one of Lisa's minions. Though I prefer to call them 'The Chipmunks'.

"You really look hot today." She goes on in a seductive voice, leaning closer to him.

"I wish I could say the same for you." Frank mumbled to himself.

He carefully lifted her wrist with his thumb and index finger putting it away as if she's infected with a deadly virus.

"Oh you will! Let's do this. We can stop wasting our time and hit off at El Placer." She winks at him, totally ignoring his disinterest.

I roll my eyes pushing my eyeballs as far as it could possibly shift. El Placer is a hotel a few blocks away. Just not the regular kind. There's always some funny business going on there which I don't wanna know about.

"Oh cool! Hazel and I were just on our way to El Placerrr." Frank emphasizes in a strong accent and I whip my head at him. "You can join us too." He continues ignoring my questioning look.

"What!" Candice and I both yell at the same time in utter surprise. She glances at me, acknowledging my presence for the first time, throwing a disgusted look my way. Then turns back to Frank again.

"Well we've never really had company before but hey we can try something new. The more the merrier." Frank smiled brightly at her and clasped his hands together.

On the other hand, Candice looked too stunned to say anything. I bite my inner cheeks trying my best to stifle a laugh while enjoying the horrified look on her face.

"I... I completely forgot I made plans with Lisa." She stammers giving him an uneasy smile. "She must be waiting for me." Turning around on her heels she races out, getting lost amidst the crowd.

Frank clutched his stomach as he laughed out hysterically watching her retreating figure while I turn to glare at him.

"What?" He says between his laughter. "That was funny."
