It's a bet.

"Fine," Cam said. He motioned to the pom poms that had been thrown in the corner by some drunk cheerleader earlier that week. "Loser takes those pom poms and performs a cheer in their underwear."

Tom was unable to keep from laughing. "I'd pay good money to see that," he crowed with glee.

Erica considered the proposal. It would be funny to see Cam perform a cheer in his underwear. She looked at Tom. "You said North Carolina were undefeated this season? What about about Duke?"

He considered Erica's question. "1-3 for the season, I think."

Erica felt comfortable with the odds, so she decided to embarrass Tom. "How about this: the loser at the intermission performs a cheer in their underwear. They cannot get dressed again until the end of the game. The loser at the end of the game performs a cheer naked!"

"Seriously?" Cam asked.

Tom also chimed in. "You know it's called halftime, not intermission, right?"

Erica blushed at her mistake. "Of course. Simple slip of the tongue."

"Let's just stick to the underwear cheer," Cam said. "I'm telling you, I know a lot about these teams and this game."

"No way," Erica retorted. "You dug this hole, I'm looking forward to seeing your floppy parts bouncing around. I might even invite some of the other girls to watch if you don't treat me nicer. Now put up or shut up." She held out her hand to seal the deal.

Cam reached over and clasped her hand. "You're on, babe."

Just then, North Carolina scored a field goal, increasing their lead to 10-3. Erica exchanged high-fives with Tom. "Looks like I'm sitting pretty, Cam!"

Tom grinned. "We'll see, Erica."
