It All Started With A Dare

Chapter 2

It's been a few days since I was dared to kiss Julian.
Angel has not been talking to me at all since then. Does she not get that it was a dare? Nothing more? I guess not... It was more than just a dare... There was something there. Something magical...

Nothing I've ever felt before.

I pushed the memory of kissing him out of my head as I walked through the double-doors of the school. Right when I did, I saw Julian's lips locked with some prep he probably knows nothing about. She was wearing a cheer uniform in gold and white, our school colors.

Her blonde hair was pulled back in a pony tail.

You could clearly tell she had extensions in her hair; only because they were a lighter blonde. My heart ached as I watched him pull away, a smile on his lips. They moved, but I was too far away to hear his words. I could just imagine him saying call me later.

He handed her a small piece of paper and I knew, then, that I was probably right.

I knew it was a mistake falling for him. A huge mistake. I walked past him, him only noticing right after I passed. He only stared at me for a moment before going back to talking to the cheerleader. I sighed, my heart aching badly.

How hard had I fallen for him?

"Hey, Iris," Amanda said, coming up to walk along side me. "Hey," I said quietly, not wanting to talk to her or anyone right now. "You okay?" She asked. I just nodded my head and walked to my locker, putting in my combination and opening it.

Without another word I put my things I didn't need away and headed off to homeroom.

Amanda hurried to catch up to me as she shut her locker, which was next to mine. "Are you sure?" She asked, "Because you look like you're about to cry." The concern was clear in her voice but I just nodded. "I don't cry," I said, "and you know that."

I walked to the back of homeroom and sat down at my desk.

Amanda took her seat next to Angel and they started talking. I sighed, missing when I used to do that with them. But since the dare... Nothing between our friendship has been the same; with both Angel and Amanda.

Angel was right when she said, in truth or dare, that either way; I'm screwed.
