Should I just say I don't like him?

Long story short: There's this guy, who apparently really likes me. My friend went up to this guy, and made a bet with him. He won the bet, and my friend told him that I would go out with him for a day! So apparently he is going to ask me out the next time he sees me.

I feel so violated! I have never had a boyfriend before, and don't want to get into that (just started high school, planning to stay single for a while). Not to mention that I barely even know him. (He's in my french class but I don't even know his name!)

Then again, according to this "bet" I only have to go out with him for a day. That is barely even a relationship. At the same time, he will probably want to go out after that since he likes me. Should I suck it up, hold hands, hug, and do all that other stuff for a day, then break it off if he tries to go out with me longer. Or should I just break his heart and tell him straight up that I don't like him.

    Tell him straightforward. Your friend didn't ask for your permission to make such a bet with this guy in the first place, it's her/his fault, not yours. If you tell him straightforward, he will stop and not get in the chance to think "Hey, maybe she'll actually go out with me if I keep this up :D" and then get crushed when you don't.
