You're a bet.

Of course you are, Rafe Cameron is a kook who you've hated your whole life. And he's always hated you: a pogue; John B's sister. So when his kook friends made a bet with him, and told him that if he took you out, he'd get $1000. To prove himself, he said yes. But it's not that easy.

Eventually, after lots of pestering, you agreed to go to a kook party with him.
