Thank you for telling me the reason why you read TB and how you found Wattpad :) I think it’s my turn then, eh? I found Wattpad last 2009. I was a member of Twilight Saga discussion group in Friendster and people there were talking about free online reading site. The first story I read was, "A HOT GUY SAVED MY LIFE AND NOW I HAVE TO MARRY HIM?!" *That was the time when arrange marriage stories were popular*. Unfortunately, the writer deleted her story and left Wattpad. I decided to join when one of the stories I was reading required a number of votes before uploading the next chapter. So, that’s it :)
katrocks247 made a trailer for The Bet. It was amazing ♥ Watch the video on the side =)
The song for the chapter is Half Of My Heart by John Mayer ft. Taylor Swift. Banner by LittleMissIronic :)
Thank you! ♥
Happy Reading! (:
Chapter 37 *Misguided Actions*
~Drake
“Why didn’t you come to the party last night?” Jake demands as soon as I sit at our usual table in the cafeteria.
“We waited for you,” Dwayne chimes in.
“I didn’t say I’ll go, did I?” I say, taking a bite of my pizza.
“Cassidy was fuming with rage,” Brian says, fighting off a smile.
“Cassidy?” I repeat incredulously. “Why?”
My friends look at me like I said something stupid.
“Come on, you know she’s interested,” Troy says, wiggling his eyebrows.
“Is she?” I ask.
Cassidy’s always getting my attention any chance she gets. However, I’m busy thinking of plans to make Pie fall in love with me to notice her.
“What did you do?” Brian asks.
“Stuff,” I say evasively.
As soon as I went home last night, I organized all the things needed for Pie’s surprise birthday party tomorrow. I bought all the necessary materials and the only thing I need to do after school is to design the place and put some decorations. I already ordered my gift for her. I really think it fits her perfectly. Just thinking about her wearing it puts a smile on my face.
I do these things because I want to, not because I have to. I want her birthday to be memorable for her. I want her to remember it for the rest of her life. To put it simply, I want her to be happy.
I did everything; the planning, and the buying, all by myself. I’m not in the mood to ask Andre’s help because I’m quite angry at him for keeping a secret to me. Besides, I haven’t seen him yet. He’s probably busy with school work and college applications. I haven’t sent any college application yet. There’s still time for that.
Anyway, the other reason is that when Pie asks about her surprise birthday party, I can tell her honestly and confidently that I did everything on my own. With no one’s help. I’m glad Parker told me everything I have to know.
Just thinking about the ideas in my head makes me excited to start with the preparation. I’m even tempted to skip school so that I can be sure that I’m going to finish everything before tomorrow. But I remember that I have to catch up with my studies because I’m trailing behind.
Like usual.
At least I’m trying! And thank heavens Pie tutored me last night. It was for Calculus. I have a difficult time with numbers and it’s the hardest subject for me. I’m glad Pie is patient, she taught me basic things about the subject and how I can make it easy for me.
