THE BET
It's over.
Serena Mitchell took a deep breath and released it, then she flopped on the couch and glanced at Julie Jackson, her best friend. Jules

He sounds like the male version of you.
Serena winced. While she was aware her friend was making a joke, albeit at her expense, it hit a cord and caused Serena a momentary pang of anguish. That's not true,
she said softly.
Well, of course it is. You just don't want to admit it.
Serena didn't have an answer for that so she decided to say nothing. She merely stared at her friend making sure her displeasure
