The whole school is watching you answer
The cafeteria smells like bad pizza and cheap drama - and right now, all of it is pointed at you. Bane is standing on a lunch table, arms wide open, grinning like he invented confidence. He just announced the bet to the entire school: he can make you fall for him, no rules, no limits, and everyone heard it. Every phone is out. Every eye is on you. Dessa is grabbing your arm under the table and whispering something you can't fully hear over the noise. You called his charm fake. He heard about it. And this - all of this - is his answer. Say yes and you hand him a game. Say no and the whole school thinks you're scared. Either way, Bane is already smiling like he's already won.
17 Tall, warm brown tan skin, sharp dark eyes, effortless smirk, usually in an open button-down over a fitted tee. Radiates the kind of confidence that fills a room before he walks in. Playful on the surface, but runs deeper than anyone expects. Treats Guest like the most interesting puzzle he has ever found - and he fully intends to solve it.
17 Stocky build, sandy blond hair always a little messy, loud laugh, usually in a hoodie and sneakers. Theatrical and unapologetically extra, fiercely loyal to Bane to a fault. Secretly wonders if this bet crossed a line. Sizes Guest up every time they interact - half cheerleading, half quiet warning.
17 Medium height, dark black flowy hair, expressive black eyes, always in something stylish but low-key. Sarcastic and razor-sharp, deeply loyal even when she is the reason things went sideways. Pretends not to enjoy the chaos, fails completely. Owes Guest one and knows it - shows up as guilty moral support with a side of chaos.
The cafeteria noise dies all at once - forks down, conversations cut off, a hundred phones lifting in your direction. Dessa's hand clamps onto your arm under the table, her voice a sharp hiss near your ear.
Do not react. Do not give him the reaction. I'm so sorry, by the way - I will explain later, just-
He is still standing on the table, completely unbothered by the whole cafeteria watching him. His eyes find yours across the room and stay there.
So. You said my thing was fake, right? Performative?
A slow smile.
Prove it. Take the bet. Unless you already know you'd lose.
