KARL POV

the second alex suggests truth or dare i know he's onto something.

how do i know?

well we are mostly grown adults, the game isn't even fun most of the time, and also he texted me during the movie saying he was going to suggest truth or dare so i could confess my feelings to jude.

he knows i tried to kiss her last night but i didn't tell him about earlier. i refuse to.

i'm not completely ruling out that she doesn't like me i really hope she does but alex is an idiot and there's no way this could work.

plus i'm trying to play it cool, low key. she didn't react well to bold, never listening to the guys again, but she seemed to like me when i was myself.

i mean she kissed me on the cheek! like herself, unprovoked so that means she wanted to all on her own and i shouldn't push her into something she might not be comfortable with.

also there's the whole 'me lying to her about living here and attending college' thing.

alex snaps me out of my thoughts by clapping his hands together. "alright fuckers who wants to start?"

no one says anything, not even the other teenagers in the room like sapnap, tommy, and tubbo.

jude slaps her hand over her mouth, seemingly trying not to laugh, which makes alex start to whine.

"you guys," he starts, dragging out the y in guys. "please just play with me this once. it will be fun!"

as he looks around the room, i do too and i notice that everyone looks incredibly bored, despite minx and schlatt saying they would like to play. clay sighs before raising his hand. "truth or dare gogy?"

george whips his head around at his closest friend with a surprised look. "what why me?"

clay starts to smirk, "just answer the question."

as this exchange goes on i look up to jude, who is still on my lap but now i'm sitting up, she is truly breathtaking. i have had feelings for people in the past but almost never this fast and intense. that's partially a lie. i mean, sure there was candle girl a few weeks ago but that was a hopeless crush, i genuinely think i like her. and i'm aware it's been a few days but she has already helped me so much.

last night, i would've never thought to do a day of fun as our last day together. it would've been a lot of sadness, most likely.
