"This is your idea of crazy fun?" I ask as we all sit in a circle playing truth or dare.

Jesse smirks, "yah, but this is a twisted version. Think of the craziest dares and crassiest truth questions." He says.

"Since you wanted to make a smart remark you have the pleasure of going first." He puts his cigarette back in his mouth.

"Okay, Zach. Truth or dare?" I ask him cocking my eyebrow, and looking straight dead in his eyes.

"Uh, dare. I'm all about the risk taking baby." He says, "and the rule breaking." Lacey adds on, she takes the pillow off from her couch and holds it.

We decided to go to her house since she was the only one who's parents aren't home till' midnight.

"I dare you to go nock on someones door in this neighborhood and kiss the person who answers the door." I say.

"Oh, dude, go to Renea Swanson's house. That'll p her off if you kiss her." Bryan says, "you don't have to though." I add on, only because I regret my descion. What if he falls for her and not me now.

"No, I'm going." He says, he gets up and walks out the front door leaving it wode open for us to see.

Before I know it I see him planting his lips on Ranea from across the street. My eyes burn and I look away to focus my attention on anything but the dare I just made.

He runs back in and sits down, "so, what happened?" Jesse asks smoking a new cigarette.

"She asked me out, but, I said no." "What, why?!" Bryan asks dumbfounded, "because there's someone else.

I meet a quick gaze with Zach and he instantly looks away. "Bryan, truth or dare?" He asks obviously changing the subject.

"Truth," "have you ever kissed a girl." Bryan chuckles, "yah, sure, tbh no, never." He says. "That's sad my man, one of the schools bad boys and you've never kissed a single girl." He shakes his head chuckling to himself.

"Oh come on guys this is so lame, be more daring." Jesse says, he puts his box of ciggarets in his pocket and puts his old ones in an ash tray.

"Well, how daring do you want us to be?" I ask, "well, how far are you willing to go. Risk taker or rule breaker?" He asks.

I look over at Bryan who looks at me intrigued. The shadowing on his face make his jawline look sharper then ever.

It almost makes me reconsider if I should ask out Zach because of how good he looks.

"I dare you to kiss Bryan." Jesse says, my eyes buldge. It's like the man's a mind reader.

"Uh, bu-, wha-, I-." I can't stop studdering which just shows I'm nervous and like him.

I exhale and smile trying to look neutral and okay. "Um, okayyyy." I say a bit unsteady, I look in his eyes and kiss him.

I didn't mean for things to happen like this. It was supposed to be Zach and I, not Bryan and I.

I didn't mean to feel a spark in that kiss. I didn't mean to accidently begin dating Bryan, alot happened after that kiss.

Throughout the whole week, and now we're dating. And I never intended for there to be long awkward silences between Zach and I. But now, there are, and they won't stop.

I slip on my black silk romper and Gucci red heels. Then put my hair in a messy bun and add on dark daring make up.

I walked down the stairs and walk out the house and into Bryan's car. We start driving to school together.

"Thanks for picking me up today." I say to him reaching over to buckle up, "your welcome. Hey, did you hear that new song? I sent you the video last night when we were texting but, you never responded."

"Yes, and I loved it, but it still isn't my favourite song." He turns on his turn signal which makes a constant ticking noise.

He turns and it goes off, "so, what do you wanna do after school?" He asks, "um, go get some ice cream." I offer, he nods and parks.

"Okay, see you then. Bye," he kisses me and walks to class. I exhale and lean my back on the car closing my eyes.

Everything goes black, but images flow into my mind. Driiiing, the bell rings and I open my eyes starting to run to my first period.

"Can I get a two scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake ice cream with fudge, cookie crumble, whip cream, chocolate sprinkles and a cherry?"

The person starts making my orider of ice cream. "I'll have two scoop rainbow sherbet with raspberry sauce, sprinkles, whip cream, and two marchino cherries." Bryan says.

After three more minuets we get our ice cream and squeeze into a booth together.

I shovel a spoonful of ice cream and the coldness numbs my tongue.

I chew on the peice of cookie dough and swallough the grinded up food.

Before I know it there's only one scoop left and I can't feel anything in my mouth.

"Do you like the ice cream?" Bryan asks, I nod "but I think my mouth is completely numb and frozen."

He nods, "same here. But let me tell you, it's well worth it. Ice cream will always be my favorite."

We eat the rest of it and go in his car. "Can we go over to your house to do the homework? My mom is doing this weird yoga thing and she doesn't want disruptions."

"Sure, my mom will be there. Do you like empanadas?" "Yes, I love them." "Okay good, my mom is gonna make some for dinner with chilli." He says.

"I wish my mom made food like that. She mainly gets out food or just makes a five minute meal."

"Your so missing out, the food my mom makes is just delicous." "Well thanks for rubbing it in my face."

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to." He says deffensivley, "I'm kidding." I say cracking a smile and bearing a laugh.

"Oh," all the tension on his face turns to a smile and he turns calm.

"Thanks so much Mrs.Pillfered, these are so good." I say holding an empanada, "Oh your welcome. I'm just glad that I got to meet you. Sorry my husband couldn't be here. He's at work real late these days ever since his promotion."

"Oh, what's his job?" I ask, "he's a cop, been one for about ten years." She says.

"Wow, and what about you?" "Well, I've always wanted to be a chef but I never got to fulfill that dream." She says.

"I'm sorry, you would've been an amazing chef. I've never had empanadas that were so filled with flavor before." I say starting to smile.

"Oh, Bryan, you didn't tell me that she was such a charm. Thanks for coming." She says, I nod smilling and we all keep eating.

I sit in my bay window looking at the night sky. Alot has changed from when I found out about Clay and Jellissa.

For the better and worse, sometimes I wonder what would happen if he never cheated on me.

A knock comes from my door and snaps me out of my thoughts instantly. "Come in!" I shout, my mom opens the door.

"Why is it so dark in here," "I'm going to bed soon. Don't trip." My mom comes closer to me.

"Your dad and I won't be here at all tommorow, we have a couple things to handle." She says.

I nod, "cool."

"Well, goodnight, sleep well." She says, I nod and with that she's gone.
