"Hey, you must be Adam"

"That's me, and you are?

"Oh sorry I'm Ashton, Emma's best guy friend"

"Ex best friend" I yelled from my closet

"Ex? Why ex?"

"Long story"

"Oh ok, are you almost ready Em?"

"Yeah almost" I got my pants on and walked out of the closet to the bathroom to do my hair

"You look great" Ash said

"I know" I said, I look at Adam "When do we have to go?"

"10 minutes ago"

"Oh sorry, you can go if you're late, I don't want you to get in trouble"

"The worst they can do is make me run laps, that's not that bad"

"I would hate to run laps"

"I guess I'm just used to it"

"I guess so" I said and smiled "So Ashton what did you want?"

"I just wanted to know if you would listen now"

"Well I'm kind of in a hurry so if you could talk fast, I guess I would have time to listen"

"Ok, so about not telling you, I didn't want to ruin our friendship by telling you because what if you didn't like me back, it would be awkward between us, Ally figured it out, I didn't tell her but as soon as she told me she knew I told her not to tell you. I know it was wrong of me to keep it from you for an entire year but I never had the right chance to tell you, I realize the way I told you wasnt the right time either but I was running out of options. That's why I gave you the bracelet, it would've been my anniversary gift to you."

"Technically it was an anniversary gift"

"I mean it would've been our 6th month together, if I would've told you sooner and you felt the same way"

"Ok"

"And I'm sorry I believed the rumors about you, I should've known better"

"You said that already"

"But you didn't forgive me"

I walked over to him, went up on my tip toes and kissed him on the cheek, then I went up higher and whispered in his ear "I forgive you" then I walked back to the bathroom to put on my makeup, I put on some red lip gloss and red eye shadow.

"Done" I said and walked out of the bathroom

"You look great" Adam said

"Thanks" I said and looked over to Ashton, he was just smiling "Do you or Caleb need anything else?"

"No, I don't think so"

"Ok so can you guys leave now?"

"Oh yeah of course"

"Ok" I said and started walking towards the stairs

"Do you need anything else in your room Emma?"

"No I don't think so" I said and Adam closed my door, then we walked downstairs

"You look amazing Emma"

"Thanks" I said still mad at him "Can you get out of my house now?"

"Yes I'll see you at the game" He said hopeful

"Sure" I said then we all walked out the door

 

Later at the game

 

(Caleb's POV)

 

I need to clear things up with Emma, I love her, I understand that Ashton White loves her too and that he probably has a better chance of getting with her then I do and that I shouldn't have taken that stupid bet but I didn't think that I would fall for her. I thought that it would just be simple, date the girl for 6 months get the money, easy. I guess I was wrong, she's amazingly beautiful, she has all these different styles, she has the cutest smile, lovley green eyes, I could go on and on.

"Hey sexy" a random girl said

"Hey"

"Are you here alone?"

"No"

"Are you sure?" she said looking around for my date

"Yes"

"But I don't see anyone" she said still being annoying

"So"

"So where is she"

"In the bathroom now leave me alone"

"What's her name?"

"None of your goddamn business"

"Geez it's just a simple question" she said and walked away

Damn slut

"Hey dude" Tyler said

"Sup"

"Not much just looking for Allison" He said

"Why?"

"Because she's sort of my girlfriend"

"Oh yeah that's right, sorry dude totally forgot, haven't seen her"

"Is she with Emma?"

"No"

"How do you know?"

"They aren't friends anymore so they wouldn't hang out"

"O"

"Yup" I said then turned to look for Emma

"Who are you looking for?" He asked

"Emma" I said then took out my phone and texted Ashton and told him to watch me

I wasn't actually looking for Emma, I knew exactly where she was, I was looking for Ashton so he would know why to watch me

"Why?"

"I have to fix our relationship"

"Why?"

"Because I fucking love her"

"Oh, well I have to tell you something" He said seriously

"What is it?"

"In private"

"Um ok?" I said skeptical

"lets talk over here" he said and lead me to a dark corner

"Why in the corner?"

"So no one will see you get knocked out" He said

"Whose getting knocked out?" Ashton said coming up behing Tyler 

"Cale-"

"No I think you are"

"What did you do man?" Grant said

"This" Ashton said then knocked Grant out

 

(Emma's POV)

 

Football is actually pretty boring without friends to watch the cute boys with, besides I have no clue what's going on.

"You look confused"

"I am"

"May I sit?"

"Sure"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Ok" He said then he sat down

"Why do you always have to be by me?"

"Because I love you and we were always together before"

"We were also dating before"

"Yeah but-"

"No Caleb, you broke my heart for a stupid bet, now everyone thinks I'm an "easy target" and it's all because of you"

"I'm sorry, it started off as just a bet but then it turned into so much more"

"What are you talking about?"

"Will you listen?"

"Yes"

"Really?"

"I already listened to Ashton so now it's your turn to talk"

"Ok" He said then took a deep breath "I didn't have any feelings for you when I took the bet, I figured it would just be a bet where I got a ton of money out of it, I didn't care that I would break your heart at first, but then as months went by and I spent more and more time with you I began to have real feelings for you, I didn't want to tell you about the bet because I knew it would break your heart to know our relationship started on a lie, and I knew that you would think anything else I said was a lie so that's why I didn't tell you, when you broke up with me I was actually heartbroken, I've never been heartbroken in my life, I usually just get a girlfriend and dump her in a week or so, I never get feelings for them, but you were different, unique, beautiful. I looked into your eyes and I saw emotion, I couldn't figure out what it was exactly but I spent enough time looking in your eyes the last couple of months and I figured it out, it was happiness, and joy. You were happy with me and with your friends and your brother. I didn't want to see that emotion come out of your eyes. But when Ashton told you about the bet, it was out of jealousy, I can see that he genuinely loves you and that he really wants to be with you. I can also tell that he probably had feelings for you since the day he first saw you. I understand that he doesn't like the fact that even with my reputation as a player I still got the privilege to go out with you before he did, I can understand that he ruined my relationship with you to get me out of the picture and I don't hate him for that, but I can't live without you. Sure the bet was what started our relationship but in reality, deep down, I knew there was something I felt about you, I didn't know what it was so I just pushed it aside, but when we were together I would look at you all the time and just think 'wow I'm the luckiest guy in the world', and when you're not looking at me I watch how you smile and laugh and how beautiful you look. I love the sparkle in your eyes when you see something you love, I loved seeing that sparkle when you looked at me and I hated seeing that look go away as you learned the truth, all I saw was hurt and hatred, I wanted that look back but I knew I could never get that back. I really am sorry I hurt you, I didn't mean to, I fell in love with you for real... all of you. The silly girl, the broken girl, the happy girl, the beautiful girl, you are so beautiful there are no words to describe you, I fell in love with your confidence. I'm so so sorry Emma, I'm not expecting you to forgive me or take me back, I just wanted to tell you my feelings"

I didn't know what to say, I was speechless, I didn't realize that I started crying

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry"

"No it's fine, I'm happy"

"You are?"

"Yes" I said then I hugged him

"But I ruined everything"

"Yes but telling me everything just now, I saw how much you meant every word, how genuine you were"

"I truely am sorry though Emma"

"I know you are" I said then I kissed him on the cheek

"What was that for?" He said blushing

"Nothing just showing emotion" 

"I love you Emma"

"I love you too Caleb" I said then scooted closer to him and he put his arm around me

I saw his eyes light up

"I'm not saying I'm giving you another chance"

"I'm not asking for another one"

"How about we try being friends to start with"

"I'd like that" He said with a smile "So... you and Adam huh?"

"Hehe, that's nothing" I said blushing

"You're blushing"

"He's cute, but I don't know him that well, besides he's my brother's friend"

"So?"

"So, that would be weird, since they hang out all the time"

"If you say so" he said then we turned back to the game

 

After the game

 

(Isaiah's POV)

 We won the game, now I'm trying to find Emma, so we can go home and celebrate but I can't find her.

"Hey, who are you looking for?" Adam said

"My sister, so we can go home"

"Oh do you want some help?"

"Sure, I'll text her first before I start looking just in case she's by the car already"

"Good idea"

I texted her and asked where she was, she texted back right away.

"Where r u?"

"Walking by the cars w/ C, y?"

"Game's over"

"K, where do u want 2 meet?"

"By my car"

"K, me and C are over here right now, r ur doors unlocked?"

"I think so"

"K I'll b in the car"

"K b there in 10"

"K"

"She's by my car"

"Ok, hey could you give me a ride?"

"Didn't you bring your car?"

"Yeah, but my bro took it, since he came with friends but he thought the game was boring so he needed a way back"

 "Ok, no problem, I'll take you home"

"Thanks"

"Yup"

"Wait, will your sister mind?"

"No I don't think so, just as long as you don't question her music choice"

"No problem there haha"

"Good and you might have to sit in the back"

"She has the front?"

"Yup, she is my sis after all"

"K that's fine"

"Ok" I said and we were at the car

Adam got in the back and I walked to the driver's side

"Hey guys"

"Hey sis"

"Good game?"

"Yeah, we won"

"Yay, so we get to celebrate?"

"Yup"

"How about movie night, with some alcohol?"

"Sure"

"Yay, best bro ever"

"Haha I know"

She looked deep in thought

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing"

"Something"

"It's just that... remember when mom and dad would take us out to celebrate everytime you won a game and it  became like our family night everytime you had a game and not just the times you won?"

"Yeah I remember that, that was a lot of fun"

"I miss them"

"I do too Em but it's been 3 years"

"I know" She said and I saw a tear fall down the side of her cheek

"Hey you still have me" I said and gave her a smile

"I'm glad I have you as my brother" She said with a smile, then she turned up the radio and we listened to it all the way to Adam's house 

"Bye dude" Adam said

"Bye"

"Bye Em" he said with a slight blush

 she got out of the car and went over to him, she went up on her tip toes, kissed him on the cheek and said "Bye Adam"then she came
