Betting on Red

At Elm Creek High, David has it all: he is untouchable, charming, and has lots of power. Teachers stay away from him, the guys want to be like him, and the girls fall at his feet. It has always been that way until Betty Moore showed up. 

She had red hair, a sharp wit, and did not want me at all. She was different from everyone else, and that attracted me. David thinks it was the challenge, or maybe it was her, but he could not get her out of his mind. 

David’s best friend, Nate, bet he could not charm Betty, and he should have ignored the bet, but he couldn’t. He told himself it was just a game out of boredom. The more time he spent with Betty, the more he forgot about the bet. 

She was not a target anymore; she was someone David wanted to spend his time with. Then it fell apart, and now she hates the poor guy. He thought he was king of Elm Creek High, and a young woman proved him wrong.
