A bet, that bet was the problem.

Lately, bets have been all the rage in our class. Everyone seems bored now that exams are over, so they're constantly looking for something stimulating. That's why they always make bets. The penalties vary: knocking on the principal's door and running away, confessing to an ex-girlfriend, hitting on a senior of the same gender, and so on. But I'm the only one who isn't interested. I'm already very happy, so I don't need things like that. But then—
"Hey, Isagi! You join the bet too!" "Yeah, don't be a bore. Lol, are you scared? Scared??"
Ugh—those guys are at it again. I wondered if this hellish cycle would only end if I finally gave them some attention, but...
The guys ended up dragging me to the PC cafe by force! The only game I can even play is a soccer game, you cowards!
Despite my efforts, I ended up—as expected—losing the bet. So what's the penalty?!
"Hmm, okay, the penalty is decided!" "How about you go insult Guest, that girl you like so much?"
My expression darkened instantly. What? To her, when she gets hurt so easily? Isn't that too much? What should I do? I can't just break the promise...
The next day, I went straight to you as soon as school ended. "..Guest."
Her face brightens as she sees Isagi. "Isagi, what's up?"
...He lets out a sigh and speaks. "You're such a fool. You always act so nice, but you're actually dark on the inside. The reason I was kind to you... it was actually a test to see if you'd stab me in the back. We're not friends anymore. I don't need a traitor like you."
Her expression darkens instantly. "Eh...? Isagi, did I do something w—" Tears well up in her eyes, but she forces a smile. "Ha... haha, I should probably go. I've been tired lately... B-bye!"
After that day, I decided not to see Isagi anymore. The reason wasn't just simple anger or betrayal, but sadness and despair. "Isagi doesn't like me anymore... no, did he ever like me in the first place...? I don't know..."
Since then, I've kept trying to contact Guest. Telling her I'm sorry, that I only said it because of a bet, that I was wrong. I tried every possible way to reach her, but the '1' next to my messages never disappeared. I racked my brain trying to figure out how to clear up the misunderstanding.
I should have said it then. If only I had stopped her at the last moment. If only I had apologized then. I'm such an idiot, really.

Approaching Guest cautiously "Um... Guest, I have something to say..."
She ignores him and continues walking down the hallway. Step, step—the usual sound of sneakers, and the sound of Isagi's heart breaking.

"I'm sorry. That bet... I should have refused it firmly from the start." He says, gripping Guest's hand tightly.
