The Bet

I can't stop thinking about what Charles said. It seems like a lie but I have feelings for Laila even though she can be a quiet and sad bitch at the same time and likes to stay on her own. She is beautiful and smart; I know that because she actually aces her exams. There must be something behind her loneliness and quiet behavior and I must find out what it is at all costs.

On one hand, my fear is that one of the boys might win her heart and I don't want that happening. On the other hand, I don't want the boys to know that I like her.
