Shea Collins, an eighteen-year-old girl, pretty and intelligent, gets admitted at the University of Toronto on scholarship. Her only focus is getting good grades and maintaining her scholarship. Her whole life turned upside down when she goes to a freshmen's party and a bet was made on her by Ryker Lynn-a total playboy, handsome, tall and rich. Life is a game for Ryker, and he is always a winner in his game. But what will happen when things don't go as Ryker as planned? -- "Well, I accept it. I will make her fall in love with me." Ryker agreed. "But don't you ever fall for her." "I won't, this isn't the first time we are betting, anyways." He smirked.
View MoreI closed the door quietly so I wouldn't wake Sam, who was still sleeping inside. I made my way down the stairs and sighted the cab that I had ordered. I got in and gave the driver my location.I rested my back on the seat and sighed as I shut my eyes. It's been twelve days since Dylan and I had that talk and I had been seriously thinking about it because I didn't want to regret my actions.With Ryker's connection and all, Cassie got arrested. Olivia and Jasmine too, since they were accomplices. I was called to the station to give a statement of what happened. I didn't want to go at first but Sam and Dylan convinced me to go.Jasmine and Olivia had been released on bail but Cassie's case was more deeper than that. I knew her parents wouldn't allow her to go to prison. She even lied that I fell into the pool myself but the CCTV footage showed otherwise.Jasmine also came to apologize to me, I had forgiven her but it didn't mean we were going to continue being friends. I don't need frien
"Where are you taking me?" I asked when he guided me through the dance floor and started walking towards the entrance of the clubhouse. My vision was still blurry and I was still drunk."Somewhere I can talk to you." He answered. "But I don't wanna talk to you, remember?" I told him "I'm not going with you, Sam is still inside." I tried to free myself from his grip."She can go home by herself. I'm not letting you go until I talk to you." "And you think I'm just gonna follow you and listen to whatever you wanna say. I'm not Bruno. I don't wanna listen to anything you have to say. You are just going to lie to me again." I said. We were already outside the club house and I saw that his car was parked on the other side of the road.Ryker opened the door for me and made me enter the car. Then he buckled me up before shutting the door and walking to the other side of the car.He entered the car and started to drive. He took off his cap and mask and that was when I saw that Dylan did a re
The clubhouse was crowded as usual, loud music, sweaty bodies and people making out in dark corners. Sam and I made our way through the crowd and found a spot to sit in front of the bar, drinks weren’t free today. I guess someone paid for all the drinks the last time we came here. I had a shot of tequila but Sam didn’t drink anything, she said she was going to watch over me so I could drink as much as I liked.“Hey, let’s dance.” I told her as I pulled her to the dance floor, the alcohol was starting to kick in. I swung my body to the beat while Sam did the same.“Shea?” I heard someone call my name, I looked back and saw that it was Felix. Why the heck did he call me? Did Ryker send him to beg me?“Hey.” I said nonchalantly and continued to dance.“Look, Ryker didn’t mean what he did, he already called off the bet when he realized how he feels about you.” He shouted over the music.“Do you mind? I don’t wanna talk about that.” I said as I rolled my eyes at him.“Back off!” Sam said a
As I stepped into the bathtub filled with warm water, I sat down and let the water soothe my skin, I closed my eyes so I could relax but then it suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe, like something was blocking my nose, like I was drowning. The memory of myself, struggling in the pool flashed through my mind. It was traumatizing.I opened my eyes and gasped for breath. I got down from the bathtub. I couldn't do it. Cassie had scarred me for life, I would never be able to have baths again, or even learn how to swim.I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around myself and walked out of the bathroom. I went straight to my closet and grabbed a shirt and shorts to wear."Shea, you didn't stay long in the bathroom this time." I heard Sam say. I turned to her and saw that she looked excited. She was excited that I didn't stay long and cry in the bathroom this time. If she knew what happened to me there, she wouldn't smile like that.But I smiled at her and covered my fears up. "Yeah." I said as I w
“Holy shit! I can’t believe it.” Sam exclaimed as sat on my bed and rubbed my back. I had told her everything I encountered in school today and she regretted telling me to go out with Ryker.“I was just a bet, a stupid bet.” I sniffed. I wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come out no matter how hard I squeezed my eyes. I guessed I had emptied my tear sac. I was tired, physically, emotionally and mentally tired.“And- and Jasmine, I don’t blame you for hating her. She was just a snitch for her psycho sister.” I said in a low voice.“I never liked that bitch. I knew there was something shady going on around her. And we should throw those people in jail.” Sam said as she rose from the bed and stood in front of me. I liked how she was taking this more seriously than I was.“I’ve actually thought about that on the way here. But Laurel told me her dad could easily bail her out, so it would be a waste of time.” I told her. Laurel also said that she had a huge fight with Cassie because of J
Ryker’s POVShit!I had been screwed by Cassie. She told Shea about the bet before I had the chance to tell her myself. I never wanted to hurt Shea. I just wanted to give her more time to heal from what she was going through. I had plans to take her out on another date, to tell her how much I loved and cherished her and then eventually tell her about the bet. But Cassie ruined everything.I ran out of the pool area to go after Shea, but she was already getting into a car. I knew it was Laurel’s car.I didn’t know what to do. Should I go after Laurel’s car so I could talk to Shea? Or should I give her some time? I honestly don’t know which is better.I slowly walked back to my car and got in. I hit my hands on the steering wheel multiple times and yelled my lungs out.“Fuck!” I yelled again. I groaned as pain soothed through my hands, but it was nothing compared to the pain Shea was going through right now. She called me a monster. She was right, I was a monster. I should have never ag
*Third person POV*Jasmine took out her phone as she ran out of the pool side. Her heart thrummed fast in her chest and her fingers trembled as she dialed Laurel’s number and placed the phone close to her ear.“Hey, baby girl.” Laurel’s voice rang through the phone.“Laurel, Cassie is going to do something terrible to Shea, I shouldn’t have led her there. I should have just ignored Cassie’s texts.” Jasmine ranted to Laurel.“Wait, slow down. What did you do to Shea?” Laurel asked calmly, unaware of the chaos in Jasmine’s mind.“Cassie told me she wanted to talk to Shea, she told me to bring her to the pool side and I did because I thought she was going to talk to her like a civil human being. But she started to talk about a bet, I thought she told me to become friends with Shea to give her updates because she didn’t want her near Ryker. I don’t know anything about a bet!” Jasmine explained.“And then- I- I think Cassie is going to push Shea into the pool.”“What?” Laurel yelled.“Oliv
“Shea, are you alright in there? Do you need any help?” Sam asked as she knocked on the door of the bathroom. I had been sitting in the bathtub for an hour now, thinking about my mom and how life had been completely unfair to her. It has been a few days since my mom’s memorial service. I haven’t been going to any class because I knew it would be a complete waste of time.Jasmine told me we had an important lecture today but I told her I wouldn't be coming. She kept insisting that I should come but I eventually ignored her messages when they were getting too much. A part of me wanted to go to school, but then, I knew I wouldn't be able to focus.“Hey, Shea!” Sam called out again when I didn’t answer her. She tried to open the door but discovered that I had locked it from behind.“Oh God! Please open the door, Shea. I just wanna make sure you are okay.” She pleaded.“Go away.” I muttered.“What?”“Leave me alone!” I said a little louder for her to hear. I didn’t mean to be harsh to her
Shea's POVIt's been three weeks since I heard the news about my mom's condition getting worse. I hadn't been focusing on classes and at work. I wasn't able to read very well for my tests, I always zoned out while reading on my own. The only time I would gain something from reading was when I read with Jasmine. She had a reading technique and it really helped me a lot.I burnt six cakes on different occasions at the café. When Brooks noticed that I wasn't myself, he told me that he would handle everything.Ryker had also been there for me. The best boyfriend I could ever ask for. He always called every hour to check on me and sometimes he would stay at café until my shift was over. I made sure to speak with my mom every single day, I would tell her how my day went and we would talk about different things. Her voice keeps getting weaker and weaker everyday and it really breaks my heart.I got down from Ryker's car and waved at him until his car was out of sight, then I went up the sta
"Shea, I'm off to work." I groaned and turned over in my bed as I heard my mom slam the door. I was the only one left at home, my dad usually goes to his mechanic workshop at seven in the morning. My parents had just two children due to their financial status- my elder sister and I. My sister got married last year and moved to New York City, leaving me with our parents. I threw aside the covers and staggered out of bed like a drunkard in my cute Yellow PJs that had the drawing of Mickey mouse. Cute, right? My phone beeped as I was about to leave my room, so I staggered back to pick it from my bed, lying back on it in the process. It was a message from my best friend, Dylan. Dylan: Are you ready? "Oh no!" My eyes widened as I remembered that he was supposed to take me to the mall before going to my dad's mechanic shop to fix his car for our departure tomorrow. Dylan and I just got admitted to the university of Toronto, although I got admitted through scholarship. My parents won'
