The Bet (EUF)

[Moonshine+CC21]

It's lunch time again but Lily is outside by herself leaning against the wall of the school. She has her phone in one hand and a bottle of orange flavoured water in the other, she bought it from "snack shack" on the playground. It's just a wooden shack that sells food and drink that you could get on your break. And you'd just pay for it by pressing your thumb against a scanner and it takes money off your account. Lily decided on that water because she isn't hungry since she had something at break, and also because they don't sell juice. They used to sell Ribena but stopped sometime when Lily was in year 7.

She's looking through reddit, scrolling through some of the subreddits she follows mainly the gta online one but also ones that she's seen videos on like r/choosingbeggars or r/maliciouscompliance since she finds them entertaining. She used to look at twitter but her timeline has become all about politics, which she has no interest in.

As she scrolls through her phone, with a serene smile on her face, she exchanges pleasantries with people who walk past and say hi to her or she says hi to them, especially people she's talked to when they're upset about something or she thought that needed company in the past. Some people who walk past just look at her either just acknowledging she's there or because they think she's pretty. Some don't look really look at her face and more at her legs. Lily is aware of that and isn't that bothered since she chose to wear a shortish skirt (I say shortish I mean mid thigh. Too short the way school is concerned but nothing compared to what some if the girls at her school wear) and she knows wearing knee high socks just highlight her legs more so she simply isn't surprised that some people's gazes would go there naturally. Especially since there's a massive contrast with her pale skin and her black uniform.

Eventually her mates appear, Max, Mason, and Thomas. They're talking amongst themselves about random stuff as they walk towards Lily. Even when they get to her they're still deep in their conversation for a few seconds before acknowledging her.

"I mean we've still got one day to finish it so your safe as long as you do it" Thomas tells Max, they're talking about the maths homework that is due tomorrow, he then turns his attention to Lily "how you doing smiler?"

Lily laughs a little "smiler?!"

"Well you are, you're always smiling" Thomas says also laughing a little as he give her the reason for that nickname (the first time he's used it).

"Well I'm just a very happy person. I mean what have I got to be sad about. Like the only challenging things I've got going on is trying to keep all my friendships good and also how to reject guys without making them feel bad while also keeping the door open for a potential friendship." Lily explained. She had put her phone back in her blazer pocket as to not appear rude whilst talking.

"Yeah alright don't have to rub it in" Max said playfully. "Besides you do have the whole pantsing thing. Like you get pantsed by your parents, your stepdad, Alice (Lily's stepsister), two of your cousins (brothers but one is worse than the other for it), random people here, us" he continued.

"Da fuck you mean "us" you mean you. Me and Thomas don't even touch her trousers or her skirt" Mason said defensively but laughing at the same time.

"You still stare though" Max points out.

"Yeah... wel...l who wouldn't" Mason said shyly and is now starting to blush.

Lily rolls her eyes a little "I think we've established that I kinda enjoy it by now and yeah it's still embarrassing but not enough to want me to make anyone stop. But anyway apart from that what have I got to be moody about? I'm very pretty, I'm popular, I'm good at football, I've got nice legs to show off as in shape and as in skin too. Well my skin is just flawless anyway."

"Modest as always Lily. And I would agree but we haven't seen all of your body so we'd have to take your word for it, unless..." Max shoots her a look that jokingly suggested for her to strip naked.

"Not a chance" Lily laughed. "I did get dared to do that one time here actually."

"What at school?" Thomas asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, in middle of form time" Lily told them.

"Go on then Lily we're listening.' Max pushed her to tell the story.

"OK so it was when we was in year 8" Lily starts.

FLASHBACK
=====================================================

Lily is in year 8, she's 12 years old. She doesn't look much different from her current self just a little bit shorter and her uniform has definitely not changed. She's one of the first people to walk into the chemistry classroom, which is where her form time takes place. Mr Jackson is sitting behind his desk, trying to get the PowerPoint with all the information he needs to tell the class, about assemblies and stuff.

"Hi" Lily says energetically to Mr Jackson. She only dies this with teachers she likes.

"Hi Lily. I'll be stepping out to do something soon so I'll go through this quickly when everyone gets here." Mr Jackson explains.

Lily is where she normally sits but she isn't sitting down. She's standing on the metal support that ran along under the table where the students feet would be, the chairs and tables are tall in the science classrooms, and her thighs are pressed up against the side of the wooden table.

"How come?" She asks simply.

"Just need to organise some stuff outside of the classroom" the teacher explains.

Lily shrugs "fairs" she says satisfied with his explanation and sat down. She pulls her skirt down a little since it rode up a little when she sat down. She drums her hands against her bare thighs quietly, it kinda sounded like when drops of rain hit windows, since she was bored because her main three friends don't share her form tutor.

People start to come in and eventually everyone is here. Mr Jackson goes through the information and then leaves, trusting the class to not destroy the classroom when he's gone.

Everyone gets out of their seats to go to the back of the classroom to talk with their friends and Lily was about to do the same but she gets stopped by her classmate, Josh. Josh is a bully but doesn't do much of it since she spends most of his time in isolation, a step up from detention. Lily ended up there once, it's a room where people who there are separated by walls and chair and table are bolted to the floor you can't even pull the chair out to get in easier.

They've talked a few times and he hasn't bullied her before. " 'ere Lily do you wanna see some magic?" He asks her as he pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket

"Yeah sure." She says showing interest.

"Alright then pick a card" he says as he spreafs the cards out.

Lily chooses one, the 4 of clubs, she puts it back in deck.

Josh nods "good" as he's about to shuffke the deck Liky stops him.

"Wait! I'll shuffle" she says putting her hand out for the cards. She's been playing poker recently (well I say recently I mean when she started year 7) with her family and friends of family, well her stepdad's friends. They only play a few pence per hand, not really for the money just for something to do.

"Oh you're not making this easy for me are ya?" He gives the cards to her and she shuffles them and gives them back.

"Right I'm gonna find your card" he says as he places 5 cards down on the table, the class is starting to take notice of what's going on now, the cards are 2 of hearts, king of spades, 9 of hearts, 4 of clubs (Lily's card), and the 6 of diamonds.

"Right I bet you £5 that the next card I turn over will be your card" Josh says confidently.

Lily looks at him and then discreetly at her card on the table "How about we make it a bit more interesting?"

"What do you have in mind?" Josh asks.

"I don't know, anything." Lily said knowing full well she's won the bet.

"How about you strip naked right here if I do find your card?" Josh said pushing his luck.

"What? No! I can't do that." Lily said exasperated by the suggestion.

"What you scared people are gonna see your non existent tits and arse?" Josh teased.

Lily blushed because it was true she only has A cups and her butt is nothing to write home about (still is like that in year 9) but she's not too bothered about it these days. "Yes - no.... I mean" she stuttered. Eventhough it's impossible for her to lose the words still shocked her.

"Don't worry Lily I wouldn't make you do that. How about something more familiar? Pull your skirt down" he suggested.

Lily blushed even more because he was right it was all too familiar.she nods.

"Right then let's find your card" he says as he starts making a performance like he's performing a ritual. Lily is smug knowing he's gonna make an idiot of himself for not finding her card and realising it was already on the table.

He makes out he's going to take another card from deck but then he turns Lily's card over making it the only card on table the other way around.

"Wait what?" Lily loses all smugness and is shocked.

"4 of clubs your card." He says with a smug look on his face. Some of the class start to laugh while some try to figure out how he did it.

"But no I thought-" Lily is cut off.

"Yeah well your shouldn't assume should ya. Now come on honour the bet." Josh says.

Lily sighs and stands up, it's not like she hasn't had her skirt down infront of her classmates before anyway. She undoes it, pulls the zip down and let's it fall down to her ankles exposing her white panties with panda prints all over them, and the rest of her milky thighs.

Her classmates ofcourse laugh at her choice in panties and all she can do is let them have a good look whilst her face goes red. Despite her situation though she still can't get this question out of her head "how did he know?"

She stands like that for a few more minutes and then pulls her skirt back up covering her underwear again. She sits back down, facing away from her classmates, her face is still red. Luckily for her though the bell goes and shes the first one out of the room to get to her next class.

BACK TO PRESENT DAY
=====================================================

"He's a crafty bastard" Mason says while laughing.

"Have you ever figured out how he did it?" Thomas asked actually curious himself.

"I'll be honest I haven't given it much thought. I probably wasn't as discreet as I thought when I looked at my card when it was on the table." Trying to come up with her own answer.
