It Started With A Bet

Chapter 3

"What?" Kyle starts, "What's happening, why is no one telling me anything?" Me, Nancy and Annie continue to freak out ignoring Kyle. "Why does nobody ever tell me anything?" "Well basically," I begin, "earlier today I challenged Michael to bet, and well Michael being Michael accepted it. At first, I thought he was just being smart but he just dmed me, and well long story short I need to beat Michael, otherwise I'll have terrible seats for atl and no soundcheck for 5sos." "Okay? Beat him at what?" Questions Kyle. This child. I swear it's like he needs everything to be explained to him. "I need to be at the barrier first for atl." Kyle just nods his head, he doesn't really understand the importance of the whole situation. "Well no matter how much I would love to stay and talk about this all night, im going to go back to my room to sleep." Kyle starts. Annie chimes in, "Can I stay here tonight guys, Felicity is going to her aunties for midterm?" I nod my head as I know how terrified Annie gets about staying alone but Nancy says, "Not unless you want to sleep on the floor because im not giving up my bed." I roll my eyes. "Guys, why don't you two just go back and stay in Annie's room." Annie nods her head in agreement but Nancy, being the awkward one says, "Really? Are you sure you don't mind, I don't think we should leave you on your own?" I sigh, "Nancy, if anything, I would be very grateful to have the room to myself, it means I can play my music and dance around at 3am without waking you up, so go." "Fine, fine if you insist." Nancy gets her pjs and goes with Annie.

They are only gone a few hours when there's a knock on my door. Why are they back? What could they possibly need at 2am? When I open my door, it's not Annie or Nancy but it is indeed a very drunk James. I sigh, "What do you want James?" "I think you know what I want, princess." He slurs, stumbling into my room. He looks around for a little while then turns back to me, "Where's your friend? Are you alone?" I was about to say yes but I hesitated, "No, Nancy and Kyle are here." James scoffs. "You expect me to believe that, the lights are off and only one bed is unmade, im not stupid princess, I know you're the only one here." I ignore the fear growing inside me and try to remain confident, folding my arms I ask, "Why are you here?" "Im here to talk to you." "We can talk some other time." "I don't take no for an answer princess." And with that he half walked half stumbled over to Nancy's bed and fell down face hitting the pillow. I stood there waiting for him to move or speak, but he did nothing. I cautiously walked over to him and tapped his shoulder. No response. I can't believe this, he passed out. I was too tired to worry about a passed out James in my room, so I got in my own bed and drifted to sleep, the events of the day swirled in my head.
