Kissing dares

I headed up the hill slowly with no exact destination.

At the corner of the hill I noticed that the walls interior of Sunset Bakery were painted a darker shade of purple. Girls from campus would hang out inside the bakery drinking tea or coffee and eating sweet treats, Like Analiese Millers. Some of them sat at the roof and watched the sunset around six during winter, wrapped up in cute coats and hot chocolate warming their hands. Eventually you'd see boys from campus there flirting with girls, some typing up projects, or just simply ordering some kind of sweet.

A few blocks away was Jinx Arcade, where most boys hung out. I had my first date there. After school and on weekends, campus boys spend their whole days in there using up all their money for playing games and eating junk, and procrastinating homework.

I felt a warm breath behind me and turned around. Rodger stood there smiling.

"You,me, date; I'll pick you up at 6:00," He said.

"Sure, but the bad boy thing isn't really working out on me too much," I smiled.

"Hey, Bella! Rodger! Come on let's hang out at the park!" Daniel's voice boomed from behind us.

I looked up at Rodger and he gave me a approval nod and held my hand as we walked towards Daniel.

Daniel invited some other students including Analiese, Miranda, Joel, Mary, Laura, and Jamie.

"Hey guys, Can I tag along?" One of the voices I hated the most said behind us.

"Sure,Margaret!" Daniel said, and that very moment my fist curled up in a fist.

"She changed a lot, Bella," Miranda whispered.She rolled her eyes.

"I hardly doubt that," Analiese nudged my shoulder.

We headed towards campus instead, and flopped down at the tennis court, since it was the only court that wasn't being used at this time of the day.

After a while of chatting, Daniel suggested we'd play a game.

"A game, seriously, we aren't five anymore,remember?" Joel groaned.

"No... Like...." Daniel paused for a moment.

"Like, truth and dare?" Jamie said.

"Exactly!" Daniel approved.

"Oh! Can I go first?" Jamie raised her hand and waved it around like a maniac.

Daniel nodded and she started.

"I dare...." She looked around.

"I dare Bella and Rodger to kiss!"

"I've seen them already," Daniel groaned.

"Yeah, me too!" Joel said. Laura and Marie nodded in agreement.

Yes!

I said to myself.

"But their a cute couple! C'mon!" Analiese shrieked.

I remembered Margaret was there, and looked over at her. She gave me a stare. I reminded myself that she likes Rodger. It was school registration, when she pushed me into that rock that sliced my knee, when she kicked my stomach and almost got away.

I raised my eye brow and gave her the same cold stare she gave me and she rolled her eyes.

I turned to my left and stood up on my knees. Rodger supported himself with his right arm.

My arms curled around his neck and I kissed him quickly.

"AWWWWW!" Analiese shrieked.

Margaret's face filled with fury.

"I pick Rodger," Margaret said.

Of course, I thought to myself.

I thought about what I just did.

"Um.. okay,"

"Truth or dare,"

He thought for a while.

"Dare," He answered.

"Kiss me," She said.

I raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He asked.

"I said, I dare you to kiss me,"

"No way!"

Analiese gasped under her breath and Marie and Laura were both looking at Rodger and Margaret like they were some kind of movie they were watching.

The boys' eyes were wide.

Miranda just smirked.

"You can't say no to a dare," She said.

"This game is over," Rodger stood up.

Margaret stood up and chased after him.

She pulled his hoodie and and he spun around facing her.

Her arms quickly landed around his neck and she kissed tightly.

Fury filled inside me and I dropped my bag and started to run towards Margaret intending to pull all her fake hair out her head.

I managed to push her away from Rodger but Joel grabbed me. My arms froze under his lock, but I kicked the air hardly.

I yelled my lungs out.

"LET ME GO, JOEL!" I yelled.

Miranda stood next to Margaret just smirking.

Margaret walked towards me, but Joel turned around.

He turned back around when Analiese was yelling to Margaret.

"Why would you do that?!" is all I got from what she was yelling.

Rodger walked over to me, evidently angry.

"Let her go, bro." He demanded.

"I'm pretty sure that's not the greatest idea, Rodger,"

"I know, but, just let her go,"

He let go and I ran, but I was quickly inside Rodger's trap.

"Rodger.Please.Let.Me.go," I demanded.

"I will not," He said.

"I'm just going to go to my dorm," I said.

"Really?"

"Really."

He let me go. I grabbed my bag and I headed towards my dorm.

Footsteps followed behind me.

"What do you want from me?!" I said, and turned around.

"You do I didn't kiss her, right?" He asked.

I didn't answer.

"He didn't," Margaret's voice said.

She appeared and stood closely.

She paused for a moment to look at Rodger.

It almost seemed like they read each other's minds.

Her high heel hit the floor. She looked down.

She looked up and her lips were pressed together. Her arms swung slowly, her eyes stared up at the clouds. For a few seconds she remained like so; and finally opened her mouth to talk.

Instead she took a mouthful of air, messed with her lashes and took a step towards me.

"But," Her eyebrow raised and she looked back at Rodger.

"Have you asked him who he had kissed during the period of time you were gone?"

She looked at me and tapped her fingers against her thigh.

She gave a small chuckle under her breath and nodded. She walked away.

She stopped next to me and whispered to my ear

"I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm revealing the truth for you own good," Her face pulled away from my ear and walked away.

"Bella, I didn't kiss anyone while you were gone," His arms opened to give me a hug but I pushed him away.

"Don't have go near me ever again, Rodger." I said in a low warning voice.

"But Bella," He said.

I noticed Analiese heel's clacked towards us.

"Just, let her think," She whispered into his ear.

I glazed at him.

Analiese tugged my arm gently, and we headed towards the dorms.

And for the first time, I heard a small sniffle from behind.
