16. Hacking the Meyers
The Bet
Joel
''What makes you kiss a boy?'' I ask Avril as soon as I enter the living room.
She's watching a cartoon movie, 'Barbie and the Pauper' one.
I'm sick of this movie, she has watched it a hundred times.
Looking at that white wig guy reminds me of Olivia.
Weird, isn't it? A guy reminds me of her.
But she was imitating him a couple of weeks ago and that made me laugh.
She looked cute and funny.
Why am I thinking of her?
''What the hell are you saying right now? '' Avril asks interrupting my thoughts.
She gives me a weird look.
Oh yeah, I asked her a question. I know it's not an appropriate question to ask to your sister, but I need to know if I need to make Olivia lose.
''It's simple. What makes you kiss a boy?" I ask.
"And what makes you think I'll tell you?" she asks with a disgusted face.
Why is she so freaking annoying?
''Come on Avril, just help me out for once.'' I say.
"Is this one of your games when I tell you something and you use it against me the other day?" she asks bored.
''What? I never do that to you.'' I say and she raises her eyebrow, ''Okay, I always do that. But not this time I promise.''
She looks at me in suspicion and then smiles evilly.
''Aww, did a girl reject you?" she says making a sad face.
"Do you see this face?'' I say pointing at my face, '' No one could reject it.''
''She rolls her eyes before speaking, ''Then why do you need it?"
"Just tell me, will you?" I say annoyed by her interrogation.
"What will I have in return?" she asks smirking.
Man, how much I hate this sibling!
''My appreciation?'' I say and she looks at me in boredom.
"Try harder.'' she says.
I don't want to do it, but I will.
Look what I'm doing for you Olivia?
''I'll let you take my car.'' I say.
"Now we're talking.'' she says satisfied.
"Tell me now.''
She makes a thoughtful expression and then says, ''If the guy is handsome, I sure as hell would want to kiss him.''
I'm handsome and Olivia isn't kissing me.
Useless detail.
''Anything else?"
"Well, if I like him, of course I would want to kiss him.'' she says, and I roll my eyes.
"Except for liking him and all that shit!'' I say.
"Fine jeez! Why are you so worked up about it?" she asks.
Olivia doesn't like me. I know it.
But I still want to make her kiss me.
Because I'm attracted to her, and I can't stop it even if I wanted to.
And I need to make sure she's attracted to me too, because I can't be the only one.
It will be proved if she kisses me.
''Do you have any other useful information?" I ask my stupid twin.
"I don't know his lips maybe?" she says.
Lips? What lips?
"Explain.'' I say.
''If a guy has amazingly beautiful lips a girl wants to kiss them. To see if they kiss as amazingly as they look. We call them kissable lips.'' she explains, and I look at her in confusion.
Kissable what?
''Okay thanks.'' I say getting up.
She didn't help me at all.
"Don't forget the car.'' she calls behind me.
"Yeah, yeah, sure.'' I say.
In your dreams.
I go up to my room and look at myself in the mirror.
I sure as hell am handsome.
But kissable lips?
Do I have those?
How the hell do kissable lips look like?
For Christ's sake, I look like a teen girl checking herself out in the mirror!
''Are you gay?'' Luke says coming at my room.
''What? No, man. What makes you think that?" I say.
Like, come on, I break record at the number of girlfriends, and he's asking me if I'm gay?
''You're looking at yourself in the mirror and checking out your lips like some creep.'' he says laughing.
"And that's supposed to be gay?'' I ask.
"I don't know you tell me. '' he says.
''It's because of Avril and her stupid ideas.'' I sigh.
"What ideas?" Luke asks.
"What makes you kiss a guy.'' I say.
"You asked our sister that?" he gasps.
''I need to make her lose the bet.'' I say rolling my eyes.
"No offence, but you lost the bet when you kissed her that night in the party.'' he says.
That time the bet wasn't set, and I didn't know who she was. Offence taken.
''It doesn't count. The bet is after that.'' I say annoyed.
"Why did you make that bet in the first place?" he asks sitting in my bed.
Why did I make the bet?
One part of me made it to prove to her that she's attracted to me.
The other part did it so I could be close to her.
I know the other part it's fucked up.
But I can't stop myself from being attracted to her. She's like a magnet pulling me in.
And I don't like her. I can't like her. She's the enemy.
So, the bet allows me to be close to her without being close to her.
''To just prove something.'' I say sitting next to him. ''I have to make her kiss me. I can't lose this.''
''Do you want to make her kiss you just because you kissed her? Or do you want her to kiss you because if she does it means that she likes you and you want her to like you?" he asks.
His question hits me.
Do I want her to like me? Is it really the reason why I made this bet?
''I don't know man. Stop asking me bullshit.'' I groan lying down on my bed. ''Right now, I just want her to kiss me, no other thinking.''
"What happens after she kisses you? Have you thought of that?" he asks.
Yeah, what happens next?
We will continue being enemies?
She'll hate me? I'll hate her?
Or this attraction I have for her will grow?
''I don't know she's the loser?" I say and he raises his eyebrow.
''Okay get out man. Stop making me question my life decisions. Get out.'' I say hitting him with a pillow.
"Okay, okay.'' he raises his hands in surrender.
''We got a problem.'' Avril says opening the door.
"Ever heard of knocking?" I say getting up.
"Shut up.''
She joins us on my bed and shows us her phone.
It's an article from Royal Academy News.
''The school has news?" I ask.
I didn't know that.
''Yes idiot. Now read it.'' Avril says.
''Christian Meyer the famous billionaire and the owner of the 'Meyer Team'' company.'' Luke starts reading, ''Has donated a full one million dollars to our Royal Academy high school. He said that money is nothing in front of his children's education. Christian Meyer wants to make our school a better place and his humanity never fails to surprise us. The question of the day is what are the Cullens doing?''
''He donated one million?" I say.
He's buying the fucking school.
"Yes. But this is not the only problem.'' Avril says.
She shows me the comments in the Instagram page.
Fuck.
All of them are hating on us and loving the Meyers.
They freaking dare calling us lame?
''Fucking hell!" I say throwing the phone.
"Hey, that's mine.'' Avril complains picking up her phone.
''He turned all school against us just because he donated some money.'' Luke says.
"It's not just some money, it's one fucking million.'' Avril says.
That crazy motherfucker only did it to make us look bad. It's all a fucking war.
We should donate more fucking money than him and those fuckers will see if we have money or not.
I have to do something to wipe that smile of their fucking faces.
''We have to do something.'' I say looking at my siblings.
"Like what?" Avril asks.
''Something that will make him look like a fool.'' I smirk.
"Care to tell what's on your mind?" Avril says.
''I'm thinking, why don't we write an email to principal Nova, with Christian Meyer's email account, asking her to return his money back. And then rumors will spread that the Meyers are facing financial problems.'' I say.
"That's an amazing idea dear brother. But how do you intend to do it?" Avril asks.
''Hacking his email account.'' Luke answers before me.
"Exactly.'' I wink.
"Wait, you can do it?" Avril asks.
"You underestimate me dear sister.'' I wink.
I loved computers since I was born, so as I grew up, I started playing with the codes and programing stupid things. Until one day I learnt that I could hack people phones really easily.
It started with Avril's phone actually. I wanted to get her best friend's phone number, but she wouldn't give it to me. So, I hacked her phone and got what I wanted.
I was eleven back then.
I'm seventeen now so I have improved.
"But how will you get the email account?" Luke asks.
"It's in the school's email, isn't it? Which is in the principal Nova's computer. '' I say.
"You'll hack it from the principal's computer?" Avril asks.
"Yes. After the hacking happens, they will find out about it and call another hacker to find out who the intruder is."
"It will lead them to the school.'' Luke says.
"Exactly.'' I smirk.
''Okay, wow. This is a huge thing.'' Avril says. ''But we need to make a plan about this.''
"We should do it during lunchbreak. Because principal Nova is always at the cafe down the street. We have only thirty minutes, can you, do it?" Luke asks me.
"Absolutely.'' I say.
Thirty minutes are more than enough.
''But we have a little problem.'' he says, ''Ann, the secretary.''
"She's mine. I'll distract her.'' Avril says.
"Okay. And I'll be the guard, and you'll the hacker.
''Good.'' I clap. ''So, we're doing this tomorrow?
"Yes.'' Luke says.
''Let's show those fuckers who the fuck the Cullens are.'' Avril smirks.
"Language.'' Luke glares and I laugh.
"Sorry.'' she smiles sheepishly.
â¯â¯â¯â¯
''Well, good morning, Cullen. Why so sad?" Olivia says leaning in my car.
I get out from my car and close the door smirking.
I wonder who will be sad after some couple of hours.
''Well, good morning to you too, princess.'' I say leaning closer to her, "Do I look like sad to you?"
''Yes. And it's breaking my heart.'' she says leaning her face closer to mine.
Her vanilla scent fills my nostrils and fuck me if it isn't so freaking addictive.
Does she taste like vanilla too?
What the hell am I thinking?
''If it's like that, why don't you do something to cheer me up then?" I ask putting my hands at the sides of her, caging her between the car and me.
"Like what?" she asks putting her arms around my neck.
Fuck my life, she's in a playful mood today.
''Like kissing me for example.'' I say leaning my face closer.
"Will that make your sadness go away?" she asks.
"Absolutely.''
"Okay then.'' she smiles.
Wait what? That easy?
She leans her lips closer to mine and I still.
Is she really doing this?
At the moment our lips were going to touch she backs away.
I can't believe I fucking fell for it.
She pushes me and walks away, leaving me here like a fucking clown.
"Better luck next time Cullen.'' she calls, and I laugh shaking my head.
It's lunch time and I'm at principal's office.
I open her computer and as I thought, it has a password.
''Does it have a password?'' Luke asks at the door, and I nod, "Can you get it?"
"Yea just give me a couple of seconds.'' I say.
"I'm in.'' I say.
" Awesome.'' Luke cheers.
''Okay, let's see where Christian's email account is.'' I murmur. ''Found it.''
''It will take some time.'' I say to Luke.
"It's okay, don't rush.'' he says.
Okay, let's fucking do this.
''Are you done? The bell is about to ring.'' Luke says.
Fuck.
"I just need a little bit more.'' I say.
Well, is harder than I expected.
''Shoot, principal Nova is coming.'' Luke says.
''Come on man, I'm almost done.'' I groan.
''Principal Nova.'' Avril's voice comes.
"Yes dear?"
"I'm not feeling that well.''
"Oh God, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, but my stomach is aching.''
"Oh dear! Let's take you to the nursery.''
I freaking love her.
''She's awesome!" Luke says.
"I know.'' I chuckle.
Okay let's get this over with.
"Fucking fuck I did it! I'm In. '' I cheer.
Holy shit I really did it. Fuck, I can't believe it.
I just hacked Christian Meyer's email account.
''I knew it you could do it.'' Luke says and I smile at him.
Okay I need to work fast on this.
After a couple of seconds, the school email will receive an email from the greatest Christian Meyer asking them to return his money. Why? Because he and his company are having financial problems.
I'm a freaking genius.
"Let's go now or we'll get caught.'' Luke says.
Man, I can't wait to see Olivia's face when she finds out about this.
Author's note:
Helloo readers:
Who's curious about the comments
on the Royal Academy ig post?
Sneak a peek at themð¤ð
ALSO: I love hackers, but I don't know a damn thing about hacking or technology in particularð¤¦ââï¸
So, Joel hacked the email...how he did it it's his business. I don't know how he did it, but he did it, that's the point. So do not ask me what he did cuz I don't know a damn thing, I'm clueless...to simplify it more I'm dump. Yeah, this is lifeð
There are smart people who hack your email like the genius I created (Joel) and dump people like me who has no idea about hacking but wrote about it anyway.
So, he did what he did, me and you will never find out. :)
Hope you liked this chapter,
Love you always.
