Chapter 1
"Hannah Peters, going once! Going twice!" the student council president, Eliza Monroe, shouted through the microphone. "Sold to Reece Baker for seventy dollars!"
The audience erupted into cheers, as the perky blonde stepped off the stage, leaping into Reece's arms.
This event happened every year at South Bay High School. Every year at the start of February, the student council would hold an auction as a fundraiser for the school. It wasn’t any ordinary auction, where people would bid for rare antiques or crap like that. It was an auction, where people could bid for dates for Valentine’s Day. Girls or guys would sign up to be auctioned, and there would be an audience of students who would bid for these people.
In my entire three years at South Bay, I've never participated at one of these auctions.
I always sat back, and laughed at the ones who didn't get any bids on, at all.
"The next one is Callie Douglas, the leader of our school's book club."
Unfortunetly, Callie wasn't as good looking as Hannah.
She had wide-rimmed glasses on, unruly curly hair, and looked extrememly nervous under the stage lights.
"Let's start the bid at ten dollars?" Eliza smiled weakly at the crowd.
No one said a word.
Poor Callie looked like she was going to faint.
"How about five?" Eliza asked, biting her lower lip.
A rude jock smirked from the audience. "Bring out the hot chicks!" he booed.
I watched as a sparkly tear fell from Callie's eyes.
Eliza turned to Callie with a weak smile. "Sorry, Callie. Try again next year!"
I watched as Callie Douglas ran off that stage, and dash into the bathroom, joining the other girls who didn't get any bids.
"That concludes our auction today. If anyone else would like to voluenteer to be auctioned, please sign up at the desk outside the main office." Eliza spoke, as everyone got up to leave.
I met up with my best friend, Lacey Daniels, outside the auction.
Lacey always signed up for these auctions, since our first year here.
She always got bidded at a high price, just because she was extremely gorgeous, and was a cheerleader.
"So, Arden, are you signing up or what?" Lacey waved the clipboard in my face.
I rolled my eyes. "No. Did you see the way Callie got humiliated up there?"
Lacey sighed, shaking her head.
"Don't worry. Someone will bid big on you. You're so pretty!" she beamed, curling the ends of my brown hair with her fingertips. "Trust me."
I gave her a look, raising an eyebrow.
"Convincing," I paused, sticking my tongue out at her, "but no."
Lacey groaned, shrugging her shoulders. "Fine. Meet me outside, I want to use the bathroom real quick."
