True Destiny

Chapter Twenty

Corbyn's POV

It has been a month since I started college and it was going great. College not even being a challenge, I was hoping when I got to higher up years it will be harder. My professors already thinking about letting me take their final exams and letting me pass out of their classes so I could get to more challenging courses. I was hoping they would let me.

Other than college, life had been really good. Jack and I were getting closer and closer each day, much to my pleasure. I loved talking to him, he always had a way to make me laugh, even if I had a stressful day at school. Just because it was easy for me doesn't mean I didn't need a break some days.

Jack's smile always making me smile back. I loved staring into his honey brown eyes that had gold specks in them when you looked close enough. I have fallen completely and utterly in love with him.

My heart always skipping a beat when I was around him and my insides warmed up and felt like butterflies where flapping around. I now know what all those fairytales were talking about when they found out they were in love.

I just knew that if Jack and I ever kissed, and hopefully one day we did, fireworks would go off and I would feel on top of the world.

If only I could get the courage to just ask him! I thought Jack liked me back, so why was it so hard! It was the possibility that Jack really did only like me as a friend that stopped me from making my move.

I loved the thought of being Jack's friend, but loved the thought of being Jack's boyfriend even more! If Jack rejected me, am sure we could make it work as friends still but it would kill me a little inside. At least he would still be in my life though.

I shake my head, done with all the depressing thoughts of Jack not liking me back. Letting my mind go back to happy thoughts, of Jack declaring he loved me back.

I smile at the thought and think about what I would do if Jack did like me back. I would take him in my arms, wrapping my hands tight around Jack's waist, never wanting to let go.

I would lean my head down while Jack tilted his head up, letting me stare into his pretty eyes, while lining our lips together.

"Can I kiss you?" I would ask him.

Jack would smile up at me. "Yes." He would tell me. I wouldn't hesitate to connect our lips together, my eyes would shut in bliss and I would pull Jack, if possible, even more closer to me.

"Guys! LET'S PLAY TRUTH OR DARE!" Eben yells to everyone throughout the house, dragging me kicking and screaming out of my daydream. Damn him!

I sigh before deciding to go and play. A smirk spreading across my face as an idea came to my mind. Hmm this could work!

I head downstairs to the living room and take a seat in the forming circle. Soon everyone was ready.

"I will spin first." Eben said, a soda bottle in the middle of our circle.

Eben spins the bottle and it lands on Jonah. "Truth or dare?" Eben asked with a smirk.

"Truth."

Eben thinks for a moment. "Who was your first kiss?"

Jonah blushes and looks away. "I haven't had one." He admits. Eben looking smug about this fact but tries to hide it.

It was Jonah's turn to spin the bottle, and it lands on me.

"Dare." I say right away, feeling confident.

"I dare you to....to eat three of these macaroons at once." Jonah said.

I smile, happy to do that. The macaroons were incredible! I pick three up and unhinge my jaw like a snake before shoving three inside. It was a mouthful and I almost choke three times but eventually I got it down.

"Done." I say, hands up in achievement. I then spin the bottle and it lands on Zach.

"Truth." Zach states, surprising me. I 100% thought he would go with dare.

I think for a moment before coming up with a good one. "What's the most stereotypical bad boy thing you've done?"

Zach blushes and looks away, Daniel looking at him curious. "Jeez what haven't I done. I have went from as low as bad mouthing teachers in front of them and skipping school to as high as smoking and drinking in a alleyway on the bad boy scale." Zach admits.

"You smoked!" Daniel cried, shocked.

"Not anymore!" Zach rushes to get out, making Daniel sigh in relief. It was now Zach's turn. He spins the bottle and it lands on Jack.

I could tell he was getting nervous. I hope he is okay.

"Dare." Jack say.

"I dare you to.....do a prank phone call." Zach says, making it easy. He must of seen how nervous Jack was too. I smile over at Zach, thanking him for going easy on my baby.

Jack rolls his eyes and pulls his phone out. Typing in a random number and doing the whole "Your fridge is running." prank.

Once Jack is done, he spins the bottle and smirks when it lands on Daniel.

"Dare." Daniel said confidently. By the look on Jack's face, I felt like Daniel was in trouble.

"Kiss Zach." Jack said, making my eyes go wide. No way was Daniel going to actually do it!

I am proven wrong though because Daniel just shrugs his shoulders and turns his head to Zach, leaning down and plants one on him. It was short and sweet, and when Daniel pulled away, Zach was a red mess. Aww!

Daniel spins the bottle and it lands on me.

"Truth." I say this time.

Daniel is silent for a moment. "What do you want to do when you grow up?"

"I...I really like writing." I admit, with a sheepish smile.

I get small smiles all around and words of praise, making me feel like I was unstoppable.

I then spin the bottle and smirk when it lands on Jack. Please pick truth! Please! Please! Please!

"Truth." Jack said, and I silently thank God.

I don't even need time to think, this was my plan after all. I would finally know if Jack liked me or not, or at least sort of know. I didn't want to make it obvious!

"Do you have a crush on anyone in this room?" I ask, unable to help the smirk spreading across my face or my wink.

Jack freezes and I instantly regret asking him that. He tries to clear his throat, his eyes full of panic and stress but is still unable to answer the question. Fuck! I messed up.

"E-Excuse me." Jack says before running out of the room, shocking everyone.

I quickly get to my feet about to follow him, but Eben stops me.

"Maybe leave him alone for a while." He says softly.

I sigh and look longingly after Jack before sitting back down. Yeah, I will leave him to his thoughts for a while and then confront him.
