Micah's pov"I'm sorry Maya, but I have to tell you the truth. See, my friends and I had this bet where I had to sleep with you to prove I can get any woman and…No!"I shook my head as I facepalmed myself.That was definitely a terrible way to start. Maybe I should have written this down or something.Fuck!"Bro come on. or we'll be late for midterms." Ted yelled from outside my car.Meeting him at the botique had been an incredibly close one.He'd given me a knowing smile when he'd seen Maya wearing my clothes.I knew before class ended that he would have told the whole school about it and I need to tell Maya before she heard it from anyone else."Yeah, on my way."Maya had already rushed to class to keep a seat for me and Ted.I turned of the ignition if my car and came down, meeting Ted halfway to the hallway."So, you finally did it, huh?""Did what?" I asked, trying to stall from telling him the truth."Don't play dumb with me, bro." Ted glared playfully."Look,.man. you can't
Maya's povI found an empty classroom and made my way indsie and immediately answered my father's call."Hey, Dad," I said, excited to hear from after a while "Hey, kiddo. How are you?" His voice poured out of the phone."Good, good."I said, a smile on my face.I had not heard from him in a while and had even been planning to call him later this week to check on him but now that he'd taken the initiative to call, it felt very good."Does this have anything to do with the boy you are seeing?" He asked.I froze, wondering where my father had gotten that information from.I didn't need to think far because it was obvious that It was my aunt that had told him.I groaned internally. She just had to open that big mouth of hers, didn't she?I frowned, annoyed by her action.She could never really keep her mouth shut. She was even worse at throwing surprise parties."I don't know what you are talking about, dad," I swallowed, hoping he'd believe me."Sure about that?" He asked but In a t
Daniel's POV I hated the fact that I had to make Maya cry but it was the only way to get through her.She was too obsessed with Micah and he wasn't good for her.I watched as he broke down in front of me, feeling a little guilty for cutting out the parts of the video that might have made the blow less painful but it didn't matter.Micah was still an absolute jerk and didn't deserve Maya. I had no idea what she saw in him. He was a bully.I moved to console her but she stepped away from me as if I was the problem in this scenario and not Micah."This isn't real." Her voice broke.I rolled my eyes at her. Even when there was clear evidence in front of her she was still sticking with Micah. It was infuriating but I kept my cool."Of course,why am I not surprised? I forgot how blind you are when it comes to Micah."Part of me wanted to walk out on her but what good would that do her, my heart wouldn't let me.I cared about her way too much to walk out on her even though I was upset."It'
Maya's povI closed my bedroom door behind me and made my way downstairs, slinging my backpack on my back as I climbed down the stairs."Good morning, aunt," I greeted my aunt who was busy setting the breakfast table, trying to keep my tone light but failing."Good morning, Maya. Breakfast?" She asked on my way to the front door."Um, no. I'm going to pass, Thanks."I said.I wasn't sure I could eat anything today. I had lost my appetite ever since Daniel showed me the video of Micah practically calling me a conquest."Come back here young lady." My aunt bellowed, startling me.Puzzled, I turned around to face her, confused at her sharp tone."Did I do something wrong?" I asked, walking towards her with tentative and unsure steps."Yes. I would like to know why you have refused to eat anything since yesterday afternoon." She said, folding her hands against her chest and staring into my eyes like she was searching my head for answers before I could give her my own.She'd just turned o
Micah's povI watched as Maya walked aways from me, feeling lost and a sense of dread.What the hell was going on and what was that about?I wondered in confusion, my heart beating in my chest.The students that had gathered to watch the drama had started walking away, murmuring about how we were no fan.I ignored them, focusing on recounting what had just happened between Maya and I just a few seconds again.Everything had been great yesterday between us. How had things gone from great to worst?The only thing I could remember was leaving when she'd excused herself to answer a call but that 2ad only because Coach was being dramatic and wanted me at the meeting.Wait… did her behavior have anything to do with that call?It had to. That explaned why she hadn't replied any of my texts.I had thought she was asleep.I stood there, still so confused and what was worse was that she wouldn't speak to me even if I tried and then there was Daniel… I touched the bump on my jaw courtsey of D
Daniel's povWatching Micah suffer, I had to say was the single best thing to have happened all week.He was an asshole that desevered nothing less.I watched him in all of the classes we had together. He looked like he was going crazy. Even when he'd been asked a question by the history teacher, he'd completely flopped. It was nice seeing Micah in a state of confusion. Especially since he deserved it.I could practically read him like a book.He was upset and he thought or at least suspected that I had been the one to tell Maya but I was about to flip the entire narrative now.what was wrong with just a little more drama?I was done being the nice guy. It was time I started taking wnag was mine and if I lied a little on my way to getting what I wanted, so fucking be it.I made my way to the next class and found Maya talking to Lydia."How do I not know any of these?" She asked, her eyes wide with different emotions."You camr late, that's how." Maya said.They'd been talking when I ha
Micah's povMy heart was beating in my ears as I put two and two together.Juliet had been the one to tell Maya about the bet. It had to be. She was the one with the motive.She hated Maya with passion and probably wanted to seek revenge. There was no bigger motive than that and I wondered why I hadn't seen this sooner.Daniel had a motive but there was no way he'd have found out without one of my guys blabbing their mouth and even at that, it was very unlikely.Why the hell would she do this?Was it because I had broken up with her?Of course it was!Juliet was petty like that and that smirk she'd given me earlier, she was definitely responsible for all of these. It had her handwriting written all over it."Hey, man," Ted walked towards me, clapping my hands as soon as he got to me."Hey, man." I said in a less enthusiastic tone."Saw what happened earlier." He said"Me too." Brad's voice came from behind."Not a good look, man, thought I told you to tell her.""I tried to." I said t
Daniel's pov"Ready to go home?" I asked Maya as soon as the closing bell rang."Very," she said with a sigh. She looked about done with everything and I didn't blame her. Yesterday and Today weren't her best days. Not only had she just found out about Micah's disgusting bet with his friends, she'd also been the topic of conversation.Everyone in school was talking about her.The only good thing was that nobody knew about the bet, only that I had punched Micah for her and she'd broken up with him.I offered up my hand and she took it and pulled herself up.Her hands felt so soft in mine that I didn't want to let go at first…We walked out of the school building and towards my car in the parking lot. I could see the cloud of sadness surrounding her.All eyes were on us as we walked hand in hand.Things were going according to my plan.Micah was more or less finally out of the picture and spiralling.Last I heard, he had punched Juliet.If that wasn't spiralling, I didn't know what
