"Let's play a game" The jerk, also known as Cody said.
I raised an eyebrow. "And what game do you have in mind?" I asked, crossing my arms
He smirked. "The both of us will be in a game where the first one who loves the other person looses" He explained.
"What's the prize?" I asked.
"If you win, I'll give up on everything. I'll stop being a bad boy, stop playing with girls. Stop doing everything. And if I win, you'll have to do what I tell you to do. Every. Single. Day" He said.
I scoffed. "That's not bad. I could already see who's going to be the winner here" I said confidently.
He chuckled. "Let's just hope it's me"
