HIGH SCHOOL sucked, but Adelaide was always excited for the first day of the year. She couldn't tell you why as nothing much had changed within her for her to actually see any difference.

Regardless of her self-proclaimed excitement, she stood by her new locker shuffling new stuff around and digging up whatever mess that was left by the last person.

She soon shut the door of her locker slightly to see Rodrick standing on the other side.

She sent him a small smile before shutting it completely. The two of them following into small steps together.

To every passerby, to the people who knew them, to the people that didn't, it was like they were together. Dating. In cahoots. Whatever.

As the two began a conversation; Daliah approached the two of them and rested her arm over Adelaide's shoulder.

"We have first period together, do you?" Daliah asked.

It was a sign that Daliah was going to drag Adelaide away. She always did and it wasn't much of a shock that she did it because in Rodrick's eyes Daliah hated his guts.

He watched as Adelaide and Daliah ventured off into the heavily crowded halls and vanish within seconds.

"Is little ol' Rodrick missing his girlfriend already?" Ben asked, slapping Rodrick's shoulders.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"But we know you want her to be." Ward laughed.

Rodrick rolled his eyes and headed towards a more secluded area of the school. Though he didn't want to be at school, he stayed long enough to at least see Adelaide around.

"How about this." Ben started, "We dare you to ask Adelaide out. No matter what it takes. You'll ask her out, make out in the van, and after that... you can break up with her."

"I'm not doing that."

Adelaide never thought Rodrick could be in a stable relationship. She always saw him move on from girl to girl and never stay in a relationship long enough to even utter the words "so how about a second date".

"We double-dog dare you."

Rodrick sighed, rolling his eyes as he turned and faced his friends.

No one could back out from a double-dog dare in Löded Diper or else they would get some gross-out task that they had to do in front of the others.

"If I don't do the dare?"

Chris held a wide smile, "You seriously don't want to do it? We're just helping you out, dude! We know you've got this massive crush on her so you might as well take on the dare! What are you? A wimp?"

"I'm not-"

"Don't do the dare and we'll tell Adelaide this whole dare was your idea in the first place."

Rodrick eyed his friends. This would be something they would do and they wouldn't hesitate at all. They would completely ruin their friendship over some stupid dare that he didn't want any involvement with.

"Fine. Just leave it to me and don't get involved."

Bill smiled, "You have until the talent show."

His three friends laughed, venturing off into the crowd of other students surrounding them.

Rodrick let out a heavy sigh. Not once would he ever think he would find himself in a situation like this one. Though a blessing and curse in disguise, he had never done anything like this before, and the fact that he was doing it with his best friend was worse than what he could've imagined.

So, it was either pulling through with the dare or facing the consequences of the possibility of losing his best friend.

THE MONROE sisters hated Sunday morning. The two of them had been dragged out at the crack of dawn to head to their local church that morning and every morning following that.

The congregation had always been too loud for Keegan, but their parents didn't seem to bother with it.

Adelaide had been rocking back on forth on her heels with her head down, not very focused on their singing at hand. Something she would always get in trouble for.

She noticed the black shoes that now stood in front of her.

Tilting her head slightly, she looked up at Rodrick.

He was nervous as this whole dare thing was an ongoing thing. He would have to somehow make Adelaide fall for him, agree to a date, and somehow (if he actually can pull through) continue to date until death does them part. With that all said, he still had to pull through with all that and have Adelaide not find out about the dare within his adventure.

He should've known better than to think about any of this during church of all places.

"Everything okay?" Adelaide whispered.

Shaking his thoughts, he nodded and sat down as the song died down.

"We're up next." Greg's father huffed.

Their whole row standing as they were waiting for Greg to follow suit.

"Everyone will see the sweater." He whispered.

"People are looking." His father argued, "Okay? So, come on, let's go."

"Why is he wearing the sweater?" Adelaide asked Rodrick.

"He sat in Manny's chocolate." He lied.

Soon Greg stood, following the line of his parents towards the front.

The sweater hanging low to the ground catching Rodrick's eye. He smiled at the idea growing in his mind.

"Don't do it." Adelaide whispered.

"But it would be so funny."

"To you or Greg?"

"When have I ever cared Greg?" He rebuttal, "I have the rest of my life to be nice to Greg."

"But to embarrass him in front of the church?"

"That would the highlight of my day."

Rodrick stepped on Greg's scarf and watched as it fell to the floor.

"Poop! He's pooped his pants!" A child shouted.

Adelaide held a tight lip as the church stared in disgust at Greg. Not only bring embarrassment to not only himself and to his family as he pounced onto Rodrick sending both of them to the floor.

Their father dragged them out by their ears, leaving the Monroe family at the front of the congregation.

As embarrassing as it was, Rodrick was glad he did it. Solely to just get away from Adelaide as bad as it sounded.

This dare thing was eating him up inside and he didn't feel bad about a lot of things, he had to somehow figure this out.

And he knew exactly how.

- lucy has something to say !!

this was just a basic idea of how this dare came about lol

honestly greg is a bad friend
