Broken by the Bully

Chapter : 5. The bet..

Jake's point of view:-

--------------------

I can't believe I just proposed a nerd. My friends will have to pay me big time to make me agree to this bet. When I asked her to be my girlfriend, she went into a world of her imagination. After breaking her trance by telling her that I was waiting for an answer, she finally replied. But this time, her reply shocked me. She knew that I like Sammy! But how? When I asked her about that, she told me that she noticed me watching her all the time.

“Is it that obvious?” I thought to myself. If it is, then why can't Sammy see that? Whatever… Right now I have to convince this nerd.

“No, you are wrong. I wasn't staring at her, I was starting at you…” yes, this will work. She always hangs out with her, it will be easy to convince her that I was always into her.

“But what about Cristy?...” Oh no, I totally forgot about her. Uhh… Why this girl has to be so observing. Was she spying on me or what?

“No, no, no, we're just friends. Nothing more. And you know her, she gets a little sticky sometimes.” Actually, she isn't my girlfriend, and she certainly is sticky…

After so many explanations, she's still not into it. This girl honestly is a hard b***h. Fine, I have to take it slow with her, but I will get her at last.

“Look, you can take some time to think about it clearly. You can decide what to do by tomorrow, ok. Just remember I really, really like you. And I am looking forward to us.”

After trying everything I can, we said our goodbyes and I headed to my home. Reaching home I sat on the living room couch and ask our maid for some juice. While I was sipping on my juice, Sammy barged into our house like a storm and started screaming my name, which made me choke on it.

“Hey, hey, what's wrong? Why are you shouting?” I asked her.

“What the hell Jake, why did you ask Kizie such a stupid question?” she started shouting at me.

“What are you talking about?” I exactly knew what she was talking about.

“Look you… Stop your stupid joke right now and say sorry to her. If this is one of your tricks to bully her, then I'm going to kill you.” She said furiously.

“I am not doing any kind of joke with her. I promise.”

“Really! Then why did you ask her to be your girlfriend?”

“Because I want her to be my girlfriend...”

“Jacobson Miller, I am going to kill you right now!” she was about to attack me but I stopped her.

“Seriously Sammy. I swear, I like her. I liked her for a long time. I don't know why, but I feel like she needs me. And I also need her. She is a very nice girl, I like that about her. I want to make her happy as she deserves. Please give me a chance…”

I had to lie to her even if I don't want to, or else she will never back off. Sammy is the easiest way to make that girl agree with me. Uh… What else do I have to do for this bet?

“You're right, she deserves love and care from a special person of her. Are you sure that you can be that special person to her? Can you give her the happiness she never got in her life? Do you promise that you will take care of her forever?”

“Yes, I promise. Can you please help me with her?”

“Ok, I'll make sure you two get together. But I am warning you, she's already too much hurt, don't hurt her anymore. Or else, I will be more than happy to spend the rest of my life in jail.”

“Ok! Thanks for the warning by the way…”

“You're welcome.”

After that, she went to her home and I sighed. I don't get it. Why is she so much protective over her? Finally, the first stage of my plan is successful.

The next day I was searching for Kizie in the whole school, but I can't see her anywhere. I have to get into the next part of my plan which is asking her on a date. I have to make sure she comes to my party. The day passed by, but I didn't find her, so I called Sammy.

“Hey Sammy, is Kizie with you?”

“No. Why?” She asked me.

“It's just, I didn't see her at school today, so I was wondering if she's okay or not…”

“Yeah… Um... She was feeling a little sick, so she didn't go to school today. But she is fine now.” She replied. a

“Oh, ok. Uh… Sammy can you give me her number. I wanted to ask her if she will go on a date with me or not.”

“Yeah, of course. I'll send it to you.”

After talking with Sammy, I call on the number she gave me. Three rings later Kizie picked up the call. Her voice is telling me she was scared of picking up an unknown number's call. But after telling her that it's me, she eased up.

I asked her again if she will be my girlfriend to confirm, and she said yes. 'Finally' I thought to myself. Then I asked her out on a date and told her that I will pick her up tomorrow at 8. She started to be a scaredy-cat again, and which high school teenager had a curfew at 9? What's wrong with her? She's really weird.

Currently, I am standing In front of Sammy's house at 7 pm as she told me to. When she came out of their house, my blood started to boil with anger. I booked us a table in a 5 Star Thai restaurant and here she's coming, wearing some trashy clothes. Does she have no sense of fashion at all? How could she wear something like that on a date with me? Taking a deep breath I let my anger cool down. I don't want to mess things up now. The party is in two days. I have to act like a gentleman with her until then.

Sitting in the restaurant, I saw her confused face towards the menu. So, I ordered for her. I knew she was poor. Maybe they can't afford to go to a restaurant.

“I was thinking, Saturday I'm giving a little party to my friends for my birthday. I want you to be there with me, as my girlfriend.” I begin the main plan with her, but unfortunately, she refused. No, no, I can't lose now. Not after everything I did for her. I started pleading In front of her. I never in my life had to plead for a girl, it's so embarrassing.

Finally, she agreed with me. I was so happy that I fist pumped myself. Suddenly I heard an angelic voice and when I look for it, I saw she's laughing. I never saw her laugh. Her smile is so beautiful. Her brown eyes are shining with her laughter. Maybe she is not that ugly after all…

Kizie's point of view:-

--------------------

A Date with Jake was amazing. He sure knows how to make me laugh. It's getting hard to believe that, a boy like him could be my boyfriend. Is this a dream or reality?

The Next day at school Jake took me out for lunch at MacDonald, and we talked a little. He asked me about why I have deadlines, and why didn't I let him pick me up and drop me at home. I know I have to tell him everything about my home eventually, but I am not ready yet. So I told him that my dad doesn't want me to hang out with boys till late at night. And he understood my problems.

We asked each other about our favorite things. Let me tell you he is a typical rich boy cause all the things he likes belongs to rich people's lives. When we reached school, we separated our ways and promised each other to meet the next day. I think we are starting to become like one of those lovey-dovey couples, and I'm starting to like it.

It's Friday today, tomorrow is Jake's birthday party. I am already freaking out by now. I don't know what I'm going to do, what am I gonna wear, or how am I going to manage at home. I know Jake promised to send me back home before 9, but the party starts at 8. There's no way I can make it back at a time.

All of this was going onto my head in school and my thoughts blocked my vision. I didn't notice that Cristy was standing in my way. So, she pushed me to the ground and started to yell that I bumped with her purposely. She grabs hold of my hair and pick me up from the ground and slapped me hard. But she didn't know that her hands are way softer than my dad's, which I'm already used to. I didn't say anything to her and kept my head down, while she continued cursing me. I know my life can never be peaceful, because of this kind of people...
