I entered the glass double-doors of my school, and I was greeted with the stares of almost the entire student body.
And I loved it.
I didn't care that most of them were probably judging me for wearing a skirt and leggings. I just adored the attention.
I made sure my flower crown was adjusted correctly before continuing on to my locker with a smile plastered onto my face.
I knew I was attractive. I had at least 5 people tell me that daily. I embraced it. I could have anyone I wanted, and I flaunted that fact constantly. It gave me a reason to wake up in the morning.
I had just opened my locker when I heard the unmistakable voice of my best friend PJ. "Dan! Glad you're here! I have a very important question to ask you."
I shot him a look. "This isn't like the last time, is it? Because I really don't want to do another school project for you, you lazy ass."
He laughed. "No, no. It's better than that, I promise."
"Alright, what do you want?"
"It's about Phil Lester."
PJ had my full attention with those 4 words. "I'm listening."
"I need you to...well, it's not really a question...it's more of a dare."
I raised an eyebrow. "A dare?"
"Do you accept the dare?"
"That depends on what it is, stupid. Tell me!"
PJ put his hands up in surrender. "Okay! Geez! Well, you know how you're basically sex on legs, right?"
I sighed. "Yes, PJ. This is common knowledge. Now, get on with it!"
"Alright! Alright! I dare you to successfully seduce Phil Lester."
I was silent for a few seconds, then I erupted with laughter. "What the hell, PJ? You think that's actually going to be a challenge for me?"
He shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe."
"And what do I get when I complete this dare?"
"Nothing. It's a dare, not a bet, Dan."
I rolled my eyes.
"So, I'll ask again: do you accept the dare?"
I thought about it for a minute. The longer I thought about exactly what PJ was asking me to do, the more I realized that it might be harder than I originally planned.
But I do love a challenge.
"You're on," I said with a smirk.
This was going to be fun.
