JJ (Third Person) :

"So, how was it?"
Josh asked JJ, wriggling his eyebrows in an odd fashion.

JJ looked up from his lunch, confusion written all over his face.

"You know, Simon."
Josh said nodding his head in Simon's direction, across the canteen.

"Oh it's... going ok. Can we..."
JJ paused, and thought about what he was going to say.

He was going to ask if they could cancel the bet. Simon was a nice guy and he really didn't want to do something inconsiderate.

Also JJ thought Simon was... surprisingly nice to talk to. But he couldn't just pussy out could he?

Honestly, this meant nothing. It'll blow over in a few days, he'll pretend to like Simon then, boom.

He'd win the bet.

Then... ditch him.

"Aw, you scared you're going to loose the bet?"

"See Vik, I told you. No chance."
Josh said.

"'Easiest 140 quid I'll ever make'"
Callux mimicked.

"No! It's going great actually. We really hit it off."
JJ say stubbornly.

"Well has he 'fallen' for you yet?"
Ethan asked raising his eyebrow.

"Alright! Give me a minute! It's been a day."

"We'll have to set a time limit."
Harry said.

"Good Idea. How about.... 2 weeks?"
Josh smirked evilly.

"What!? 2 weeks!? C'mon!"
JJ said, obviously outraged.

"Well, you're the one who agreed to the bet."
Vik shrugged.

"Ugh fine. I'll show you. Even if you guys are being un-fair pricks, I'll stick it to your faces."
JJ said, flipping them off.

"Sensitive much?"
Ethan teased.

"I'm going."

Simon (Third Person) :

"Are you sure you don't like like him."

"Yeah I like him, but as a friend. Barely. I've known him for a day."
Simon defended.

Simon regretted telling Freya and Talia about his science partner. They wouldn't pestering him about it.

"Ok, do you at least find him attractive?"
Talia asked, her and Freya studying his face carefully.

"Ok, I'll admit he is... kind-of good looking."
Simon shrugged, admittedly.

"So you think I'm hot then?"
JJ smirked, sitting next to Freya and Talia, directly in front of him.

Shit.

Simon cursed under his breath, trying not to show how embarrassed he was.

"That- That might of sounded weird out of context, but It really wasn't like that."
Simon said, trying to defend himself.

"Mhm.What were you talking out then?"
JJ asked, an amused expression on his face.

"I- er, well..."
Simon stuttered, not knowing what to say. He looked at Freya and Talia for help, but intern, he got the opposite.

"Well, we'll leave you two to it. We've got, erm... revision to do!"
Freya smirked, pulling Talia up.

"Bye, Simon and JJ!"
Talia waved.

"Don't fucking leave me here."
Simon mouthed at them, which they just laughed to.

"So... you gonna fill me in?"
JJ grinned at Simon.

"Erm, well... I essentially said you were not ugly."
Simon said awkwardly.

There was no way he was ever going to repeat what he said.

"Do you wanna hang out again after school?"
JJ asked, sipping on his apple juice.

Simon mentally breathed out in relief. Thank god he changed the subject.

"Uh.. where would we go?"
Simon asked awkwardly.

"I dunno. The cinema, maybe?"
JJ shrugged.

"Sounds nice! I have cash on me as well."
Simon agreed.

"Great! See you after school."
