It’s a loser’s bet

Oliver

After collecting money and placing bets, I kept the cash safe. It wouldn’t matter because it’s a sucker’s bet. The first football game of the season was against Minnesota. Now, if it were State, I would place my bet on U of M.

I hadn’t seen Conner since our lovely exchange. I’ll talk to him after the football game. Smooth things over and treat him with my payout.

As I strolled across campus, Deacon caught up with me. /"Hey./"

/"Hey, yourself./" I arched my brow.

/"Conner mentioned your side business./"

/"Yeah, so?/"

Deacon stopped me. /"Return the money, Oliver./"

/"Why? If people want to make a losing bet, that’s on them. I place their bets./"

/"Because this isn’t high school./"

/"I’m aware./"

/"Then, if you mess with the wrong people, it won’t end well./"

/"Then people shouldn’t bet on school sports./"

Deacon glanced at me.
