So what won't I do for $25?

This story is so stupid.

It spawned (yes, I said spawned) in chemistry one day...don't ask me which one.
Peanuts and I were having giggles over something that deserved far more than a mere titter. She said she would give me $25 if I did something....I said no.
Then she pointed out that I WANTED to do it.

Which is true, I REALLY wanted to do it. However, I'm pretty sure it's illegal in most states. Well, maybe not...but yeah.

Then Peanuts goes "You won't do it for $25?" Incredibly loud. I'm pretty sure she said it loud enough for Mr. Brown to hear it all the way down in the basement.

Then HWSFRN turns around and says something along the lines of "You won't do it for $25...I heard you'd do it for $3!"
Of course he can say that, but if I call myself a whore Mr. Peterson gets mad.
I don't even know. Yeah.

The next day:
Someone else brings it up!

Then after school.

So I'm standing at my locker getting my practice clothes and whatnot when HWSFRN comes up and asks what I won't do for $25.

I made a plan somewhere between my locker and the office...seriously, for me, that's quick scheming.
My plan pretty much consisted of saying "I can't tell you because it has to do with you."
and then running into the girls' bathroom.

Why? I have no clue.
The dead honest truth is that the $25 thing didn't have anything to do with him at all. Yeah.

So I said my stuff and tried to make a run for it. Too bad he was between me and the door. Which meant I had to keep the convo up.
I didn't think that far in advance.

His response (and this is a direct quote...right afterwards I wrote it on my hand so I wouldn't forget how stupid he sounded):

"I know, for $25 you won't tell me you're totally diggin' on my hot bod."
Then he started laughing.
I didn't.

I asked him if he was stupid and he stopped laughing and commented how serious I was acting.
I thought he was being serious. So he took me serious. Then a whole lot of awkward laughter occured.
Yeah. Basicially it went from me saying we weren't talking about the same thing to him going. "Yeah, we are talking about the same thing." and walking out into the student parking lot.

The weird part--
He got heinously sentimental on me the other night. He said something so freaking nice I was blown away....of course he followed it up with "whore", but it was still nice anyhow. Okay, so maybe it wasn't even that nice. However, it was nice enough for me to save the conversation and re-read it the next day. Given it was only a 5 minute conversation pertaining to my hookering.

Yeah, I dubbed "hookering" to be the verb of "hooker." No, it is not "whoring" or "hook."

Why did such a stupid joke turn into such a stupid story?
Because I made it that way.

Yeah, I figured out why I like him so freaking much. It took me almost four and a half years to figure it out.

I guess I won't delve into that big category of Jeopardy tonight.

The moral of the story I learned from the "$25 story":
Don't say things that make you sound like a mint.

you know, ive often asked the same question, of why HWSFRN is as arrogant as he is.

i mean, his older sister, we all know her name, is the exact opposite of that.

as for not eating at the dub, thats understandable.
