"I'm not a one in a million kind of a girl but I'm once in a lifetime kind of a woman. "

Bree's pov.

It was a Monday. I park my car in the school's parking lot and get inside the school. I yawn as I walk up to my locker.

I barely even slept last night . It's not that I didn't want but I just couldn't sleep. I finally slept at 2 am but woke up by 5 am and went running.

All the fucking credit goes to Aiden. He's been calling me messaging me and I don't think he still gets the message when I don't answer his phone calls nor reply to his messages.

I set the combination of my locker and take the books I needed. As usual I was early and I decided on sitting at my original place which is in the front rows.

Atleast I don't have to deal with Aiden. Every time the bet comes to my mind I feel like punching him.

Of course he wouldn't want to lose the bet. If he does then it is so unlike Aiden.

"Hey, " someone says and I recognise the voice. Think of the devil and the devil appears.

"What do you want Aiden? " I ask him .

"Umm........ could we speak after school today? " he asks nervously. Really , Aiden was nervous?

"I already told you that I'm not interested in making any kind of conversation with you. I think I've got better things to do, " I say coldly.

Right then Ms.Stump enters. Oh she's my saviour.

"We are not done talking Bree, " he says seriously and leaves. I groan in a low voice.

Fucking idiot ,doesn't he get it when I tell him I don't want to talk to him.

I don't know why I can't hate him . I'm thankful to him for making me smile even if it was for a while but that doesn't change the fact that he did all that for a bet.

I wish I could dissappear from here. I ignore all the thoughts and try to concentrate on the lesson.

During my second period , I sit with Rachel . She's been good to me. All through the class is feel Aiden's eyes on me. Idiot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During lunch break I sit with Rachel and her younger brother, Ryan.

"So what are you wearing for the spring dance? " Rachel asks me snapping into reality. Fuck! I forgot about spring dance.

"I don't think I'm coming Rachel, " I tell her.

"Why? " she asks me.

"Just don't feel like it, " I say as I eat my tofu.

"Bree please come . It'll be fun or I'll be left alone, " Rachel asks me with pleading eyes.

"OKAY I'm not making promises but I'll think about it, " I say .

"OKAY, " she says excited.

"You know, that guys been staring at you, " Ryan says pointing out at someone.

I look in the direction Ryan was pointing . Aiden. He stares at me but I look away.

"Just ignore, " I tell Rachel and Ryan.

I lost my appetite so I place my lunch box back in my bag. My phone buzzes. Aiden again.

I don't bother to check the message and keep it back in my pocket. I look at Aiden smiling at me. I mouth Fuck off but he doesn't bother to look away.

Ricky comes walking towards me. Oh this guy is definitely upto something. He grabs my arm and my eyes widen in surprise.

An annoying smirk plastered on his face. He pulls me closer and I immediately knew what he was about to do.

He really didn't know what he was getting into. I kick him in his gut which results in him falling to the ground. He pulls me along with him . I punch him in his face.

"You really didn't get enough the last time ,did you? " I ask him. I stand up.

"Trying to kiss me is the biggest mistake you made Ricky. You're going to pay for this, " I say.

Like last time he scratched me on my arm which resulted in bleeding. I didn't care and take my phone to call Brad.

I tell him everything that happened and ask him to get the principal involved this time. Everyone just stand there staring at me. Ricky stands up .

"Is that all you can do? " he asks me smirking. Poor guy he's in serious trouble.

"Do you want to see what I can do? " I ask him . My hoodie was soaking with blood. I remove my hoodie and wipe away the excess blood .

"How about a basket ball match? " he asks me.

There was something fishy about this but I was totally not going to drop out. The thing these people didn't know I was a basketball champ in my previous school. Jared taught me how to play.

"Well then I'm totally in. One to one competition alright? " I ask him.

"Well then at 3:00pm after school at our basketball court, " he says.

"Get ready to lose Ricky. I guess you've heard of the girl who's a basketball champ in Westwood, haven't you? " I ask him with a smirk.

His eyes widen and I knew he immediately regretted the challenge he has thrown. I grab my phone and ask Brad not to talk to the principal.

I grab my bag and hoodie and leave the canteen. I asked Maria to pack my sports outfit and send it through Brad. So everything was planned out.

"You never told me you played basketball? " Aiden asks catching up with me.

"There's a lot to me that you don't know Aiden, " I say and continue to walk.

"You had to see Ricky's face, " Aiden says with a grin. I just continue walking to my next class.

It was calculus and I could feel every ones eyes on me. What just happened was totally unexpected. I've had enough and I couldn't take it anymore.

I guess that's what Jared used to talk about. Must be it's time I move on with such stuff first like things I used to do.

He used to love everything I did. He was the one who encouraged me. I'm not letting him down this time . Ricky needs to be kicked away in the game and I'll be the one doing it.
