"Haven't seen you sweat and shake like this since the day you where about to win your first match in PUBG" Chris said to Henry who was starting to regain his composure. Chris being a geek like Henry didn't understand what he might be feeling but he was curious to know what was wrong with his friend.

"I don't know what happened I just felt anxious all of a sudden, I think it has something to do with our new classmate".

"Hmm I taught that only happens in movies, so it looks like you have finally had your first crush, congrats man am proud of you" Chris said with a huge grin on his face;but Henry was feeling a bunch of emotions that he couldn't explain but he knew he didn't have a chance with someone like that, he decided to ignore his feelings since he already knew that he had little chance with her.

.....

After school Henry and Chris where on their way home on bikes when they saw the new girl taking the same route as them on their way home so they decided to stalk her to her house so know where she lives since they knew so little about her. They discovered that she lived down the block from where they lived, so after taking a look at the front of her house they rode their bikes home so they could play their games before it gets late.

....

"What if she likes you back, you can't seriously think you can avoid her all your life"

"I just have to avoid her till we finish our classes that's all I don't seriously have to go on with this, it always ends badly for people like me in the shows we watch, am not popular so the popular boys will definitely be all over her and you know they always get what they want the only reasonable option is to ignore it and avoid any problems"

"Ok let's make a bet, right here and now! "

"What is it?"

"We will play a math in FIFA if you win I won't disturb you with the matter again but if I win you must make an effort to win the heart of this girl! "

Chris knew that this is an opportunity for his friend to focus on something other than sci-fi movies, comics, games, and some other stuff that he was already an expert in. Henry agreed to the terms of the bet just because he wanted Chris to stop bugging him, so they played the match; usually it ends in a draw but today the match ended in favour of Chris who scored in the final minutes. Henry knew that he had to go and try and win the girls heart even though he knew his chances where nil.
