Chapter 72 - A bet?

"Evan! Stop!" I shouted once I had regained my senses and pushed me away.

"Ariana I truly love you even more than Nathalia back then." He said.

"Shut up! Like what's gotten into you?" I asked as I hurriedly stood up.

"Don't you see we can't be together, you're in college and I'm in highschool." I said.

"I don't care about what anyone thinks, I don't love them... it's you I love." He said as he managed to stand up.

"No! Don't come any closer." I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"Look Evan, if you had said all this before it all happened then maybe I would have accepted you but now I can't." I explained.

"What do you mean by before and why can't you accept me?" He questioned.

"I can't...I don't love you anymore." I said as I slumped to the floor crying.

"You used to love me?" He asked, staring down at me.

"I'm sorry but I don't love you anymore...I didn't even know what came upon me but I know loving someone like you was wrong step...a wrong decision, it's terrible...we won't be accepted by the society." I said, wiping the tears with the back of my hand.

"So, do you love someone else?" Evan suddenly, his fists clenched as he clenched his jaw.

"Yes." I replied.

"It's that Mason guy, right?" He fumed.

"What good as he done? He has only hurt you, nothing else."

"I know he's hurt me but I've forgiven him and at least everyone will be able to accept our relationship." I replied in anger as I stood up to leave.

"I should leave now, it's getting late." I said when suddenly Evan started laughing like crazy.

"So you fully trust that Mason guy but should I tell you something you don't know about him." He said with a smirk as a chill ran down my spine. I've never seen Evan this way before.

"Why should I believe you? You'll just say nonsense about him, it's not like you've ever liked him?" I scoffed.

"Joshua played a bet on you." He said as I froze.

"A bet?" I murmured.

"Yes, he played a bet...a bet of use and dump." He smirked.

"Shut up! I don't believe you."

"Oh really! It seems you trust this guy so much, why don't I show you some evidence."

Evan brought out his phone and the recording started-

"Guy that new babe, she has too much violence didn't you see the way she insulted you." Sebastian spoke.

"But guys I like that girl she has vibes." The next person spoke whom Ariana recognized as Jake.

"Bro you need to teach her a lesson." Sebastian spoke again.

"Yeah! She insulted me in front of the class." Joshua finally spoke as I gasped.

"I think you should make her fall in love with you and you play and dump her." Sebastian said.

"Yeah perfect, thanks guys." Joshua said as the recording ends.
