The Bet

Nikolaj

When I arrived at the school I went to where my friends were sitting, when I sat down the boys looked at me and then continued to talk to each other, I just sat and listened to them, but then silence fell over the table we were sitting at, I looked up and they were all staring at me smiling, I started to feel uncomfortable from all the staring, but I just put on a face like it didn't bother me at all, a girl went over to us with a little box in her hands, she was blushing and looked me in the eyes "I would really like it if you would like to go on a date with me" she had managed to say while stuttering, I looked at her and smiled, "I'm sorry but I am not really interested in you" I said while trying to smile, I felt bad from having to reject her, but I am not really interested in serious relationships, and have never been in love, I just stuck to having one nightstands. When she had walked away the boys were smiling "You really can have everyone you want, but there is one person that is not interested in you" one of the boys said "I bet you wouldn't be able to get Luka to go on a date with you", he continued. Luka was the boy nobody liked, I honestly felt bad for him, he had to go through bullying everyday, and I'm not even better I have been a part of it since the day he started at the school, I didn't want to play with his feelings but I didn't want to seem like I was afraid of asking someone on a date, "I bet I can get him on a date, before the month is done" I replied, maybe just get him on a date and then I don't need to talk to him anymore.

I saw Luka walk into the school and some of the boys at the table went over to him and pushed him down to the ground, I looked away to not see the pain in Luka's eyes.
