I ACCEPTED THE BET

Gwen’s P.O.V.
He took me as a fool. I didn’t know what was he up to, but one thing that I was sure that I was not going to throw myself in his trap. He was so stupid that he took Tony's name who was studying me since kinder garden.
“I am very much sure because Tony knows me better than you”, he gave me a confused look and I smirked. Tyler thought so highly of me…. jerk…
I moved back towards the food counter. I was hungry as I didn’t have breakfast before. I was not in the mood of any play with Tyler.
“Don’t take me as a fool, Gwen. You can’t dance”, he said to me with disbelief. I rolled my eyes but didn’t bother to answer him.
“Gwen is a cheerleader for 2 years and she is also the main dancer in our agricultural club. Dance, stunts… I don’t think that these are things of your type”, he was blabbering now and it was really irritating me.
“What do you want, Tyler”, I snarled on him while moving back again.
“I want you to admit that you can’t dance. I mean… look at yourself… your body is so stiff like a log … and… your legs….”, before he could complete his sentence and I punched hard in his stomach. He instantly fell down on the floor while clenching his stomach. He was stunned at my outburst. He had no right to judge my body.
“What the hell, Gwen”, he shouted at me while yelping in pain and it satisfied me completely. I just dust my palms off and then went to the food counter. Now, I was even more hungry than before.
“O, my God…. Tyler.. baby… what happened to you?” someone screamed in her high pitch voice and I rolled my eyes. Here came the queen bee lurking to sulk all the nectar from Tyler. I mentally laughed at my own thought. Ewww…. That was so gross.
“It’s nothing…. It’s just.. uhhh.. Gwen and I had an argument on who is the better dance between you and her, you know… it seemed that I hurt her ego because I think… you are… far good dancer than her”, I instantly moved back while widening my eyes in surprise. Was he real?????
“What?” Grace instantly snapped her head towards me while screaming aloud. She was as shocked as I.
She instantly stormed towards me and I sighed on my poor soul. Here goes my lunch. My mind was imaging so many ways to kill Tyler at this very instant.
“You pathetic b***h… you think you are better than me”, Grace yelled on me and my temper went above my head.
“First, I know that I am better than you, Grace. So, don’t think so highly of you. Second, it was Tyler who was assuming things here not me”, I spat on her in a very cold and firm tone. She needed to see her right place now.
“Ha… better than me?????? Are you on high, Gwen?????” she yelled again and I looked at her in surprise. Why couldn’t she take a simple hint?
“I challenge you to dance with me. If you will stand against me for more than 10 minutes, I will never cross your path again. And if…”, she trailed while smirking at me and raised my brow.
“If you lose, you will be my slave for rest of the year”, she pointed her finger at me and I narrowed my eyes on her. I would do anything to keep her away from my life. And…. it was easy.
“You don’t need to say anything Gwen. Grace… she had nothing to do with what I told you earlier. I was just messing with her”, Tyler instantly popped out in front of me and tried to save me or whatever he was thinking … but… both I and Grace were staring each other eye to eye.
“I accept”, I said in a firm tone and Tyler instantly moved towards me in shock.
“No… you are not going to do anything stupid like this”, he shouted at me and I shot daggers on him.
I put my finger on his chest and looked at straight into his eyes.
“First, it was you who messed so badly. Second, you are no one to tell me what to do or what not”, my tone was so cold and I saw the hurt in his eyes that he replaced instantly with a cold one. I moved my gaze away from him. I didn’t like seeing hurt in his eyes.
“So.. it’s deal then”, I heard the venomous voice of Grace again. I looked at her with a cold face.
“We will have this duel in the gym today after school”, I went straight to her. She had a smirk on her lips and I desperately wanted to wipe that smirk from her face.
“Deal”, I said to her in a cold tone and then I stormed towards my seat with the food tray in one hand and… yeah…. Tyler’s hand in another hand. I almost dragged him with me as I didn’t want to stand there like a statue.
He didn’t protest and silently followed me. We both sat down on the table and I put my food tray on the table. I had taken double cheeseburger, French fries, a club sandwich, a hot dog and diet coke. I was a growing teenager and I need more energy. Tyler looked at my food tray and then at me. I started eating my food. He tried to take a fry and I slapped his hand away.
“It’s not like that you will eat all this food”, he said to me with disbelief and I glared at him again.
“Go get your food by yourself. I don’t like sharing my food”, I said to him coldly while munching my food.
“But… sharing is caring… you know..”, he grinned and I flared my nose.
“I don’t give a f**k to whatever they say…. Go and get your food. It’s all mine”, meanwhile, I had finished my burger and he looked at me in surprise.
He muttered something to himself and stood up. I didn’t give him a glance. All in my mind was the duel I had to win at any cost. She thought so highly of herself and I was so desperate to put her on her place.
“What did I hear, Gwen”, I heard Tori’s voice and sighed. Here goes my peace now.
“Whatever you heard, Tori… you heard right”, I didn’t stop eating my food. I was about to finish my hot dog.
“Are you insane, Gwen?” Tori screamed on me in low voice.
“You can’t….(she looked around first and then spoke again).. you can’t be serious, Gwen. You know her. She will do anything to win a bet even if it involves any dirty trick”, she said to me in a low voice and I huffed.
“Yeah… I know… but.. it’s time to show her place to her. I had enough s**t of her by now and I am not gonna tolerate anymore, Tori. It’s our last year and I had no worry about what would happen to me next year. I want to go out from here with my head high. Not like I spent all these years in this s**t hole and this would be a great hit on her ego. I want to see her hurt and humiliated as she did with me all these years”, my voice was filled with a venom I had for Grace.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I closed my eyes to fight my tears back to the eyes.
“I know you can do. It’s just…. I am worried for her”, Tori told me with a fake worry in her voice and I snapped my head towards her.
“How will she handle this much of humiliation in front of the whole school”, she tried to be dramatic by wiping her fake tears and I laughed.
“So, the whole school know about the bet?” I asked her and she nodded.
“You know her. She will never miss any opportunity to humiliate you”, she said to me and I scoffed.
Let’s see who gets humiliation today…..
