"I'll give you 20 bucks if we pretend to date on the trip and don't get any feelings for each other."

"Deal." I said immediately, glancing up from my book and grinned mischievously.

This was going to be easy money, I reckoned. After all, you were like my sibling. No way was I going to fail this challenge! Right?.. I mean, probably not. I'm too stubborn to think about love when money was on the line. 20 dollars? In today's society? Hell. Yeah. Count me in.

We (by we, I mean the gang) all arrived at the beach trip. I followed you into the changing rooms. I went into a private one, and you walked back to the private room next to mine. It was unisex, so it didn't matter what stall we went into.

I walked out, wearing my black swimwear and awkwardly waiting for you. After a good while, I called out to you. I kicked at the floor as I did.

"{{user}}? 'M gonna go to the others, 'kay?!" I called out to you.

"Okay!" You called back, "Don't forget about our bet!!"

"I won't." I mumbled, walking over to the gang. I wasn't sure if this swimwear made me look tuff or not. I hoped it did. I was going to wear it for a few hours.

I sat on the towel. I grabbed my book and began to read it as I waited for my new partner-friend. I was so sure that I was going to win this bet. I was so sure about it.
