Ch 4 Mr. Davis's Love Life Worth 10 Dollars

We were all slouched around in our shed. Luke was lying on the coach and Noah was lying on the other, half on the couch and half on floor, Ben was lying on creaking rocking chair and me and Nathan were lying on bed. No one was talking we could hear random voices and birds chirping.

"I can't believe Mr. Davis is double timing." said Luke with disbelief, without looking up from his book which he was reading from the moment we entered the shed. Its cover being all red with 'How to catch your cheating partner' in bold letters.

"Mr. Davis can't do that, he is so sweet and innocent. I don't believe it." I said as I bounced the ball again in the air lightly to catch it and repeat.

"The book says if your partner is being extra sweet, then it's confirmed that he or she is cheating on you." said Luke making Ben look through Luke's shoulder to the book but shuddered seeing so many words. Watching Ben, even the idea of looking at the book made Nathan shudder.

"Mr. Davis is always sweet for your kind information AND he is not dating Mr. Cruz so he can't cheat nor double time." I clarified and defended Mr. Davis.

"Yes, the real question should be do Mr. Davis like Mr. Cruz or Ms. Wilson?" Said Noah from the other sofa with his leather jacket hanging on the arm rest. "And for the love of god, stop reading that shit. That is the worst relationship advise you could ever get."

"I am atheist so it won't work on me. By the way who are you to give relationship advise, last time I remember you have been single for umm... all your life.", He shot back, he is always so calm and level headed but you say something about his books and he'll come for your blood. And knowing this damn well Noah just rolled his eyes.

"But don't you guys think that Mr. Davis is closer to Ms. Wilson" Ben said rocking himself on the chair.

"Ya she hangs out with Mr. Davis in English club all the time." said Nathan, I so want to kick him out of the bed.

"Friends hang out all the time too, but have you seen Mr. Cruz around Mr. David, he even SMILED at him, how more of a proof you want." I said annoyed.

"And Mr. Davis comes to math club too, and they whisper to each other the whole time." said Luke surprising everyone. He closed his book with a thud and continued, "I don't know if Mr. Davis is two timing or not but Mr. Cruz is surely smitten.

"I think Mr. Davis likes Mr. Cruz too, I can see it in his eyes." I spoke

"You Bet?" came Nathan's voice to which everyone gave a confused look, so he elaborated. "You guys wanna bet? We can pick sides and then investigate together. How does that sound?"

"It's not a bad idea, but what's the price?" I asked

"10 dollars", He answered which shocked everyone.

"You have that much?" I asked, surprised.

"I won't need it." he cockily answered, which arose my competitive side.

"Game on.", was my reply.

------------------------------------------

We all were crowded behind the door as we saw Mr. Davis laughing on some bad joke of his own with Ms. Wilson. We had just return from our test and this is what Ben and Nathan had sent us, to immediately come to the computer lab corridor. This was the sight waiting for us. First, they had messaged us as soon as we got to school, we hurried to were they called us only to see Mr. Davis and Ms. Wilson having a good chat of how great Ms. Wilson's day was.

I can feel the fumes coming from Luke as we stood there watching trying not to make any noise.

"If we lose this stupid bet, you are going to pay my 10 dollars as well" he said through his gritting teeth.

And as if it wasn't enough. Throughout my basketball practice I was receiving notifications after notifications, they even sent us pictures. I can only imagine what Luke might be going through. But it was affecting my practice as well. I even received a ball on my head, and had to cut practice short.

Just as I was about to call them so we could leave, I saw Luke's message to meet at our empty classroom, it was a simple message we all send all the time but what made it odd was that he had send it as personal message not on group, so I hurried there.

The classroom was empty except Noah and Luke when I got there. I sat down panting and asked what the emergency was.

"I am tired of them" said Noah as Luke asked of whom he was so tired of.

"I am tired of Ben and Nathan's shit. Seriously guys we are three and they are only two and they still are winning, how could you both let yourself loose like that and give them 10 dollars, 10 freaking dollars!" He lashed that surprised both of us, Noah is like the quietest person I've ever seen, if he is boiling that means he's really annoyed.

"You were with us too Noah, you've seen with your own eyes, Mr. Cruz was busy the whole day. He and Mr. Davis was apart the whole time. What could we have done?", said Luke, stressed himself.

"If we can't see them together then let's make them together.", he said with a dangerous mysterious smile on his face.

"You mean like cheating?", I asked.

"No, no we can't cheat. Cheating comes when we break rules but here, we don't even have them." I could see a dangerous glint in his eyes as he spoke, and I mentally prayed to God for our teacher's safety and by the look of Luke's face I bet he might be thinking of believing in God just so he could dump Noah in holy water.

All in all I just hoped Noah's plan doesn't include murder......Nathan and Ben are surely idiots, but I still love them.
