It Started with a Bet...

Image


Haley is not your average teenager. Four years ago, the death of her best friend has left her emotionally scarred. When her strange new attitude forces the most popular boy in school to get her to go out with him, she decides to make a little bet of her own. After all, she hasn't had fun in a very long time.

Genre: Romance, Teen, with a hopefully liberal dose of humor

Look! Matalic from quizilla made me BANNERS!
  1. "I bet you fifty bucks I can get any girl you want to go out with me."
  2. "Trevor, pick that up and read it aloud to the class."
  3. "Khaleel? How the hell do I cook a goat?"
  4. "Are you sure you're okay? You're not acting normal."
  5. Mom instincts + nurse instincts = absolute knowledge
    Trevor's perspective.
  6. "No matter what happens, I don't want us to stop being friends."
  7. a date that will live in infamy
  8. The Scene. If you've read it before, you know what I'm talking about. This is The Scene.
  9. the morning after
  10. "All I ever wanted was to see you smiling"
    Trevor's perspective.
  11. "Call him Dad and me Mom. Because one way or another, you're going to end up as part of the family."
  12. "Let's welcome an exchange student from Belgium. This is Corey."
  13. “Haley, I’m glad you’re home. There’s someone I’d like you to meet.”
  14. “You know each other?”
  15. “Oh. So you want someone to yell ‘GO TREVOR!’ whenever you get the ball?”
  16. You know what? I know I’m jealous.
    Trevor's perspective.

  18. ghetto phone darts and Team Spike
  19. I head to my car to drop my backpack off, only to find it littered with sticky notes.

    Trevor's perspective.
  21. I hear Spike cheer about my "vicious right hook"
    The field trip... plus a scene for Team Spike and a whopper for Team Corey
  22. "I really like you. Will you go out with me?"
  23. I haven't explained this to anyone, not even myself.
  24. "Have fun. I don't know what your curfew is, but make sure to come home at some point."
  25. "I was just, uh, it...it matches your eyes."
    I know, it should be Trevor's POV. I forgot again, okay? I would change it but it sounds much better coming from Haley
  26. "Get yourself in gear because I flatly refuse to let you lose to Corey."
    In Trevor's POV, like the last one should have been.
  27. "I-I have a friend."
    Team Spike FTW!
  28. "Friends trust each other, right?"
  29. "Janice, I need to talk to you. Mind if I come in?"

  34. "You know there's a rule against dating your friend's ex, right?"
  35. "Just a friend's house."
    Trevor's POV. These next few chapters are short, but (if I may say so myself) HOT DAMN!
  36. “I’m sorry,” the sky says.
  37. Did it work? Did the sky take me away?
  38. "Guess what?"
  39. I think I got my answer. And I think it's a no.
  40. I feel like an idiot.
    Trevor's perspective.
  41. Khalil is back
  42. "...can you just leave me alone for a little bit?"
  43. "Hey Haley, I'd like to be full."
  44. if anyone can spout vague-yet-meaningful Yoda-wisdom, it’s Uncle Harris.
  45. "Trevor, I need to talk to you."
    Trevor's perspective.
  46. A party, my brain says, but the words don't come out.
  47. ...and ended with love.
    The final chapter
