The Bet

Do Me a Favor?

Alyson POV

I wake up to my disturbing alarm. I groan not wanting to get out of my comfy bed. I grab my phone with my eyes still closed. Barely opening my eyes to click the snooze button.

I slide myself out of bed with my blanket around my body.

I don't want to leave my blanket. Ugh why does school even exist? Like don't you just wish you could stay home watch Netflix and just eat junk food 'cause that would be great.

I head towards the bathroom and do my business then I wash my face and pat my face with a towel.

I forgot what even happened yesterday, I don't remember. Mmh. Oh wait I was with Jason the whole day. The thought of Jason made those butterflies come back. He still acted like an ass but after the kiss he acted different like an actual human being.

I'm done getting ready for school. I'm wearing ripped jeans a black tight shirt & my vans. I head downstairs and see my mom drinking her coffee next to dad.

"Oh hey honey!" my mom says "You ready?" she asks

"Yeah" I  reply

"Now eat breakfast and wait for your brother" she says

"He's gonna take forever to  get ready, not even I do" I groan.

Ok so I have a brother his name is Noah and he is annoying but I still love him. He takes as much time as a girl needs to get ready for school. Yeah I know surprising right?

Twenty minutes passed and he barely comes out of his room. He is wearing a black shirt with khaki jeans.

"Morning" he greets.

"About time" I groan "Let's go" I say getting my backpack and my phone.

"Hold up I need to eat" he says getting some pancakes

"I'm just gonna go walking" I say heading out

"Are you sure sweetie?" my mom asks

"Yeah" I reply

"See you later Aly" my dad says once a head out

"Kay" I say

"Have fun!" my mom says behind me

"Sure" I roll my eyes. How can someone have fun at school? That is impossible.

I'm walking when a car suddenly stops beside me. The guy rolls down the window and I see Jason. My heart skips a beat.

"Morning sunshine" Jason greets from inside the car.

"Morning" I say

"You look beautiful" he says looking at me from head to toe. He called me beautiful!!!

"Haha shut up" I roll my eyes. He probably said that to me so that I feel special but I know that he has said that to a million of girls.

"I'm serious" he chuckles

"So are you gonna give me a lift to school or just  gonna let me walk?" I ask. I really don't want to walk I feel like people just stare at me for my zombie like face. Without an answer I just hop in.

"Okay then" he says putting his hands on the steering wheel.

We didn't talk during the ride, the way to school is short. We get there and Jason parks his car in the same place he's parked it since sophomore year. We get out and everyones eyes are glued to us. I could feel my cheeks burning, I am so not used to people staring at me. Then I feel someone put their arm around my shoulders. I look up and it's Jason, I smile.

We walk through the halls and every girl is giving me killer glares even Susan she scares me the most. Then I see Ethan with a group of girls around him. Why is it that they fall for him? Then his eyes are on us. I can tell he is mad. He takes a girl and just kisses her out of nowhere. He's probably trying to make me mad or jealous. Which will never happen.

^^^^^^^^^^

School ended and I'm more than glad to go home cuddle up in my bed and watch Netflix.

"I know he isn't your boyfriend" a deep voice says behind me. I turn around to see Ethan.

"And why do you care?" I say wanting to get away from him as possible.

"Because I care about you" he says. Placing his hand on my waist pulling me closer to him.

"Oh really 'cause the last time I checked you slept with my ex bestfriend and you didn't give a fuck about me then" I say pulling away from his grip

"So if you don't mind I have to deal with something more important than to listen to your bullshit" I say and I just leave.

My phone buzzes.

Jason: hey sunshine I want to see you come to my practice

Aww he wants to see me...but for what?

Me: For?

Jason: Just because .... please ?:(.

I walk to the field where Jason practices. There they are doing laps. I spot Jason jogging.

Just in case you didn't know Jason is in the soccer team, and the captain. His coach is very strict and I don't want him to get in trouble. I sit on a bench and wait for Jason.

A while later the coach releases them and Jason come running towards me.

"Hey sunshine" he says trying to pull me close but I pull away.

"Can you do me a big favor?" I ask. I really want to get Ethan off my ass and to do that I needed Jason.

"What is that favor?" he asks

"Could you act like my boyfriend so that Ethan could stop bothering me?" I ask. I wish I didn't have to do this but Ethan was never going to get off me.

"And what do I get out of it?" he asks

"Anything just please" I plead and wish I would of say something else other than anything.

"Anything?" he asks with a grin on his face.

"Ok now don't get over your head" I laugh

"Then where's the fun in that?" he says

"Just please I want him to stay away from me" I plead, again.

"Why?" he asks

I've tried to forget what happened and just you know move on with my life. Then he came back and it was like a punch in the stomach. All those memories coming back and I feel like if I don't talk to someone about it I will explode.

"Um... he- we used to date.." I start "Well he was like you...a fuckboy...and I ignored that..." I couldn't cry in front of him I don't want him to feel pity for me. "He cheated on me with one of my bestfriends...and since then I've wanted to go on with my life but I cant do that when he's still trying to be in it" I explain.

Jason cups my cheeks with his hands to make me look at him.

"It's going to be okay" he says. I really needed for someone to tell me that for a long time.

"I really needed to hear that, thank you" I smile

"Anytime" he smiles kissing my forehead.

Why do I love this boy?
