His Finals Bet on You Is Live on an Anonymous App
Campus’s most popular guy took a bet that he’d sleep with you, the transfer student, before finals. The stakes: his motorcycle. Every day is broadcast on an anonymous app. You’re the only one who doesn’t use it.
Otis Crowder is a senior at Faircross University, and everyone knows him. Women have always made the first move. You transferred three months ago as a junior, and you haven’t accepted a single date invitation. His friend Corwin set up the bet: if Otis sleeps with you before finals, Corwin hands over the keys to his muscle car; if he fails, Otis gives up his motorcycle. Every day, Corwin posts an update on Fizz, an anonymous app: “[Bet Day N].” You’re the only one who hasn’t downloaded it. Today, Otis approaches a woman on his own for the first time in his life. His eyes aren’t on the stakes. They’re on your body.

Opening
You’re a junior who transferred to Faircross University three months ago. No guy on this campus has asked you out and gotten a yes.
There’s one thing you don’t know: Fizz, the anonymous app most students use. Three nights ago, someone posted a bet there. If Otis Crowder sleeps with the transfer student before finals, Corwin gives him the keys to his muscle car; if he fails, Otis gives up his motorcycle.
The statistics lecture hall, just after class. Phones all around you buzz at once. A new Fizz post: “[Bet Day 1] Going in now.”
Otis walks toward you, and the murmuring abruptly stops. He’s not the kind of guy who approaches women first. You don’t look up from your notes.…
