I'm in.
Ever knew the feel of burying your head into your own world in a steady pace, no world to care?
I was in that moment. In my deserted world. Just myself and my boyfriend in a frame. Life was great.
Until all of a sudden some random weirdo just started to shake me... vigorously???
Carter
Wait, why the heck the humans in this classroom are chanting my name?
I looked at my right and learned that the one who shook me wasn't a weirdo but my best friend Liam.
Liam
You would have no idea dude.
Carter
I am asking, ain't I?
Liam
Well, the time when you are riding your boyfriend in your IMAGINARY LAND—
Carter
*slaps the back of Liam's head*
Carter
Lower your voice idiot!
Liam
You could have said so.
Carter
*rolls eyes* Serves you right though.
Carter
Back to the point, will ya?
Liam
So I was saying, at that time, the kids here made a bet on behalf of you.
Carter
*looks at the surrounding frantically*
Carter
Look, I don't want any drama.
Liam
Save all these talks to them. I'm not the one who made the bet, remember?
Carter
The only human I can rant out is you. Stop with the justice.
Liam
*sighs* Continue. I'm all ears.
Carter
*ranting out in an ever most dramatic way possible* All I need is a window seat and a mood to dream on.
Carter
What do I even gain from this stupid bet of theirs?
Liam
Well, well, well, now. You are at the right track.
Liam
Here comes the best part.
Liam
What if it involves your only rival?
Carter
*jolts up straight*
Liam
Should I give a drumroll before I announce this?
Carter
Oh god. Please speed up.
Liam
Ok, ok. Not gonna get on your nerves anymore. But... do I really need to tell you?
Carter
Can I kill you right at this second?
Liam
*rushes out* Beckettisyouragainst. It's Beckett Vs Carter.
I would blindly dive into anything if that had something to do with him.
Liam
*smirks* Cunning aren't we?
Carter
Tell me more about it.
Liam
The school is receiving a transfer student it seems.
Given by the looks of his, he sure was eager to witness and love every bit of the drama I was soon gonna get my head rolled on.
Liam
*Gets an inch closer to him and whispers* It's not a guy.
Carter
*throws up hands* Boring.
Liam
You both will be fighting for her. The question is, who will win her over?
Carter
Not me. Have that girl all for yourself.
Liam
Ok then. 'Beckett snatched the girl effortlessly' would definitely be the talk of the show around.
Liam
*looks for his reaction*
Liam
*makes his eyes soccer ball to give life to his words* Downfall of Carter's pride is what I would be witnessing at the end.
Carter
*still neutral, self control mode on*
Liam
*pretending he is talking to himself, not dare to look at Carter* Cool right?
Carter
*self control mode off. At the verge of throwing hands*
Liam
Right? *smirks towards Carter*
Liam
'Beckett's the crowned winner.', 'None can beat his handsomeness.', 'Charmer wit—
Liam
You? *purely has no idea*
Carter
The one that will be winning her.
Liam
Good that you gained your spirit at last to go all in.
Liam
Wish you luck sweetheart.
Liam
Time to take care of the audience. *claps the back of Carter's shoulder and starts retrieving his steps to leave for cafeteria to fetch food for both himself and Carter*
Carter
Wait! *grabs his hand in flash*
Liam
*faces Carter* What is it?
Carter
Does that straight kid have any clue about it?
Carter
Do I need to spell out his name every damn time? Come on, it's getting old.
He simply stared for my answer. Never in the hell I could change this guy's choice for once. If that was what he want.
And a dead silence followed. Wow.
I'm surprised by the superiority is an understatement.
Since when did I started to hold such a power over these people?
Carter
We both can't court a random unknown girl out of interest nor for the bet guys. Let's all get real here.
Retiring from my current position which was standing on the bench, I jumped out of my place and stood in front of the class to be more audible and clear. That was how you prove your point, right?
Carter
On being practical, it won't work. These kinds of scenarios might found true in movies but got zero chances in reality. Belief is the trick they got on their sleeves. They brought us with lies. I'm not the one to talk though. You guys are well aware of these stuffs than me.
I should have just applied for president position. I was too good for real.
They all looked at each other faces. It was funny to see them getting confused over some simple words.
Do I need to rephrase it?
After having some unwanted discussive whispers among themselves, they all looked at me expectantly.
Carter
What's with the look guys?
My subconscious mind couldn't help but laugh. A little. Got an image to maintain. But it was freaking funny I tell you.
Carter
You guys left so many stages and steps that exist in between.
Carter
We both sure will learn about her, know her in person and befriend her. And if mine and Beckett's feeling towards her becomes mutual, if we both reached to that point simultaneously, the bet is on, and we fight. Fair and square. The end. No more discussions to be placed anymore.
Half nodded and half whispered.
Nothing was new to me anyway.
Familiar voice
For once, I agree with you Carter.
Some searched for the owner elsewhere and most of the population looked at the front door, which was where the voice came from.
Carter
Why am I not surprised?
Beckett
Hello to you too Carter.
