the bet
chapter 1
🎀🏒

lola was peacefully sleeping in bed, the warm covers enveloping her. she laid there with her stuffed animal, arms wrapped around it. her hair was messy, bed head, more than likely.

she was enjoying the last few moments of sleep, literally, when her brothers came in and literally attacked her.

mateo, jackson, and kingston all slowly crept into her room, heading towards lola. the three boys looked at each other, and nodded. kingston started tickling her, jackson started to mess up her hair, and mateo played the loud music. probably something that the neighbors could hear.

lola woke up immediately, giggles escaped her mouth. "alright, i'm up!" she tried to leave, but the tickling never stopped.

"this is what you get for those pranks you pulled on us lola!" mateo replied. "me? pranks? oh please!"

"sarcastic now?" kingston questioned. "obviously." lola rolled her eyes.

"why did you three get me up this early?" lola asked, yawning. "it's not early, it's late." "what do you mean by late?" "your alarm went off 2 hours ago, it's 7:45 am, school starts at 8:30 am."

"and you're just telling me now?" "yes! and you're also the only one who can drive." mateo said.

"why don't you knuckleheads get your license?" lola asked. "it's too much work." mateo whined.

"yeah, whining like a baby, huh?" lola smirked. "shut up!" mateo yells. "ooh little feisty now, are we?" lola teased. mateo rolls his eyes.

"ANYWAYS, lola you need to actually get up, because we still have to take the littles to school too." kingston says, to make everyone pay attention.

"okay, fine, i'll get up, just have everyone in the car by 8." lola said, pushing jackson away from her hair.

"nothing like being late to the first day of school, in a new place." mateo rolled his eyes.

"oh shut up! boston's not that bad!" jackson argued, as the three boys walked out. "they're gonna get us all mixed up." kingston said.

"well, no dip! we're literally quadruplets!" mateo sassed. lola rolled her eyes, and begrudgingly got out of bed. she trudged over to her closet, and picked out an outfit.

she walked out of her room, grabbing her phone on the way down. noise greeted her, as per usual. it was never quiet in the kennedy household.

she heard the boys trying to get the littles into the car. she walked into the kitchen and made her lunch, not wanting school lunch on the first day.

"lola you almost ready?" kingston asked, walking into the kitchen. "yeah, sorry, just had to pack my lunch, i don't want school lunch on the first day."

"understandable, you getting everything alright?" kingston asked. "yeah."

"you'll be alright lola, everything will be just fine, don't worry." "thanks." lola mumbled.

"you ready to go now?" kingston asked. "yeah, let's go." she said, walking out to the car.

mateo got the passenger seat, as she walked to the driver's seat. "everyone ready?" lola asked. nods were given.

"alright, so to the elementary school first, how are you three feeling?" she asked. "excited!" elijah yelled. "i'm excited too!" tyler laughed.

"what about you elly?" she heard jackson ask.

"'m a little nervous." she mumbled.

"it's okay to be nervous." jackson reassured her. "teo?" she asked. "yeah? elly?" "can you play my favorite song?" elly asked.

mateo put on elly's favorite song: our song by taylor swift. she started singing along to it, smiling.

lola pulled up to the elementary school, right as the song ended. "we're here, you three." tyler and elijah jumped out of the car, elly following them. "i'll walk in with them." and jackson left the car.

"we are so going to be late!"

at somerville high school

"it's 8:32 am, we're late lola."

lola pulled up in a parking space, and the four of them hopped out, and grabbed their backpacks out from the back.

"at least our backpacks match." mateo said. "yeah, the only good thing about being late." lola said.

"at least we're seniors, and can probably get laid off or something." mateo said.

"true." kingston agreed, as the four made it to the doors. the four made it to the main office, kingston started talking.

"you four are late." the office lady said. "yeah, we know." the four said. "hmm i'll get your schedules, wait here." the four of them nodded, and waited.

the office lady came back with their schedules, "hmm you're our first quadruplets set, so you beat the sturniolo triplets." she mumbled.

"here's your schedules, and late passes." she said, and sent the four off on their way.

"what do you have first?" lola asked the group.

"gym." jackson said.

"physics." kingston said.

"economics." mateo said.

"what do you have lola?"

"uh, drawing class." she responded.

"lucky." mateo groaned.

"we better get going it's 8:45 already." kingston said, breaking the chatter.

"wait, we gotta go to our lockers first." jackson said. "screw the lockers, we're late enough as is." the three boys argued, as they walked to their separate classes, lola going the opposite direction.

she made it to room 501, and peeked inside, it was quiet, people working peacefully. the teacher noticed her, and the teacher was young.

the teacher walked over to her. "here's my late pass." lola mumbled, handing it to the teacher. "thank you, are you new?" the teacher asked.

"yeah, sorry for being late."

"oh, don't be sorry, i understand, new school and all." the teacher smiled her way.

"thank you." lola smiled.

"so, if you take a seat, you'll be sitting by matt, he's at the last table." the teacher pointed her to where matt sat.

he had his head down, concentrating. airpods were in his ears, music flowing through his veins. he had brown hair, bed head showing.

"who are you?" she asked the teacher.

"i'm miss beckham, you must be lola kennedy."

"i am. what are we doing today? any assignments?" lola asked.

"i'm just having you fill out a get-to-know you, nothing really important, or high maintenance. oh and a syllabus, so your parents can sign it, that is due by the end of this week. follow me to my desk and i'll get you started."

lola followed miss beckham, to her desk. she got handed a syllabus and a get to know you packet. she also gestured her to sit next to matt, the music listening kid.

lola slid in her seat, feeling a breath of fresh air releasing. she was just nervous, she told herself.

her hands shook a little, as she saw it was 9 am, she had 30 more minutes of this class. she shakily opened her bag, looking for her pencil pouch. she grabbed a pencil, and started looking through the get-to-know me packet.

she started working on it, but when the bell rang, she only got through the first five questions. she looked at her schedule, realizing her next class was here, painting. she noticed that this matt kid was still sitting next to her, with no intention of moving.

she laid her head down on the table, her long hair spreading out across the table. she suddenly felt someone brush her hair away. she looked up, and matt was looking at her.

she noticed her hair in his space, and quickly moved it, "sorry." she mumbled.

"not a problem." matt replied.

silence was between the both of them, til the bell rang for the next class. "shit i'm late for my next class." matt mumbled, and ran out of the room.

she was left alone in the class, and more kids filed in. she got a new seat, in the back of the room, next to another girl.

lola remained silent, waiting for miss beckham to start talking. but the girl beside her talked first. "i think you'd look good on the cheer team."

"me?" lola questioned. "yeah, you, i'm the cheer captain, jessica. you must be a new student."

"yeah, i am, i'm lola."

"oh my god, i absolutely love your name."

"thank you."

"so what's your schedule?"

"uh i had drawing first hour, painting second hour, photography third hour, trigonometry fourth hour, and economics fifth hour."

"what lunch hour do you have?" jessica asks.

"c lunch, what about you?"

"same, you can sit with me and my friends."

at lunch

jessica led lola to the table, and to her surprise matt sat there. jessica pushed her into a seat, sitting next to her. on the other side of lola, was another boy. "jessica i swear to god, you bring every new person to our table."

"chill out nick, she's chill. sit your dramatic ass down." nick flipped her the middle finger.

"what? she's cool." jessica says.

"lola this nick, nick this is lola."

"hi." lola says shyly.

"we are so gonna be friends now."

"hell yeah she is!" jessica chimed in.

"not you. me and lola, you're out jess."

"hey!"

🏒 after school, in the boys locker room 🏒

matt was in the locker room, changing for hockey practice. he heard talking from the boys, the chatter reaching his ears.

he heard a familiar name being talked about.

"dude, did you hear? there's a new girl at school."

"really? what's her name?"

"heard it was lola kennedy, i looked her up on social media, god she's hot."

"you should date her, make a bet."

"how much?"

"$100, if you can get her to date you by christmas."

"damn i don't know man—"

before matt could think about it, he said, "i'll do it."

"let the bet begin sturniolo, you have til christmas."
