Chapter 1 - The bet

Heaven POV

"Heaven, do you know Skyler from class 1? she's kinda weird right?". Axel, my best friend said.

"Ahh, the one who has straight hair that covers her right eye and doesn't know how to smile?" I said. "Oh no, erase that, that's not a smile but a smirk, a scary smirk." as I continue.

"Yup! that's her. I wonder why she's like that. No one even bothers to come close with her because of her weird personality. She's too quiet. Whenever someone wants to approach her, she'll throw you her death stare." Axel replied.

We were walking in the hallway of our school while heading to the canteen. It's already our lunch break. Axel and I were best friends. He's with me since we were young. Ever since then, we became classmates, and of course, partners in crime. Most of our friends told us that most of our jokes were corny. Well, I don't think so. I guess we have a different kind of humor.

"Hmm, I saw that too. But maybe that's just her usual look. I think that's normal. Maybe she's just an introvert. I read some books about them. Introverts are fun to be with once you get to know them." I replied while reading the letter Cara sent to me.

"Really? do you think she's interesting for you?" Axel ask me.

"kinda? I mean, maybe her weird and too mysterious personality has a reason. It's just new to us because we're not like her. our personality is the opposite of her."

Skyler Limerson. Campus geek/mysterious girl. No one wants to get close to her, but surprisingly, the campus' queens were asking her out. I mean, seriously, it's not like they ask her out for fun, but it is more like they care for her. Anyway, let me describe her, she's, yeah, she's weird. There is a rumor spreading in our university that she once killed someone. Others said that she died and rose from the dead. Some say she aborted her child and ate its flesh. Seriously? There's a lot of rumor about her that was even worse than what I've mentioned. Ever since I entered this university, I always hear her name. Every first-year student that enrolls at the university received a warning to never bother Ms. Limerson. Why? We don't know. They somewhat say to be cautious around her. Although, the university president puts an end to every rumor and punished every person who spreads it. I am currently a sophomore, and that Limerson is in her fourth year. I wonder how she interacts whenever there are group activities.

"You have a point there. Anyway, what is that? a letter from Cara?"

"Yeah. she asked for my help. She's not that confident to write a love letter. That's why she asked me if I can edit her letter."

"Eh? she should just write what she feels. No need to ask for help."

"But this is a poem. She has asked if the grammar is decent."

"Woah! so you're a grammarian now?" Axel laugh. Really? He doesn't know how to be serious.

"Anyway, wanna make a bet? he added.

"Bet? about what?" I asked

"Skyler. "

"and what can I get in exchange?"

"err.. you'll get what you want. But here are the rules.

1st rule: you make her smile.

I've researched her, and some said that she looks like an angel when she smiles.

2nd rule: make her laugh.

They say that she has a laugh that sounds like a melody. You'll get addicted to it.

3rd rule: build good memories with her.

Well, as you know, you and she should be good friends.

4th rule: make her fall in love with you.

I know it's kinda hard. but it's exciting, right?

and lastly, break her heart.."

"what!? You know I'm not that kind of girl. And why do I need to break her heart if I can love her truly? Anyway, why do I need to make her fall for me huh? We can just be good friends right?"

"Hmm, are you afraid? hahaha! Heaven is afraid that Sky might eat her alive!"

"it's not like that. You know the feeling of being broken-hearted right? so why would I do that to others?"

"Hahaha, easy bro. Here's the catch. Once you make it, I'll give you everything you want and everything you need"

"hurting her to get what I want or even need is too much," I said.

"So are you weak enough to refuse the bet? Hahaha, Heaven must be scared of falling in love with Sky." Axel said while laughing.

"Hell no! I am not. I just think this is too much. and might even take me years to make it."

"Nah. I believe in your charms. Who wouldn't fall for a cute girl like you?"

"But we are talking Skyler here. She's not like the other girls who'll dream to be with me."

"What is the essence of the bet if the girl that we'll be betting on is easy to get? Huh?"

"Aish. Can I just do the rule 1 and 2? Then forget about the others?"

"It's up to you. But remember, this is not only a bet. It is more like a mission. A mission that you SHOULD make."

"Mission? Huh? how come it becomes my mission?"

"Secret~ Just fulfill the bet and make it up until rule number 5. Then you will be rewarded"

"Wait, how did you even know that she's cute when she smiles? are you a stalker? OMG! Bro! do you, perhaps, like her?"

"What? no! someone told me."

"and who is that someone?"

" Just shut up and do it. You'll receive something great after. you have three months."

I don't even know why and how did I end up agreeing on this bet. Like seriously? I didn't even agree. I never said I was up for it. I was just curious about Sky. Why does everyone avoid her?
