all for a dare

-carter pov-

i left georges room and made my way towards my own. i lightly shut the door and walked back over to my bed.

i picked my phone up and noticed i had a missed call from clay. i didn't feel like calling him. i know i would get mad at him. more mad than i already was.

clay

what do you want

is he okay? i need to explain all of this to him

no he's not fucking okay. he's sitting in his room right now crying. i went in there to go talk to him and he can barely even talk. i don't know what the fuck you did to him. i've never seen him like this. ever.

please tell him to call me

he doesn't want to talk to you. you can try talking to him at school

fine

i shut my phone off and put it down onto my night stand. i found a comfortable position and quickly fell asleep.

——————

we were now at school, and the second bell had rang. meaning it was now time for lunch. the halls began to pile up as everyone made their was to the lunch room.

at the lunch table only sat clay and i. i pulled out my phone to text george, just to make sure he didn't go home.

george

did you go home? or are you and sapnap in the library?

library

okay. i'm gonna talk to clay.

don't be mean to him

why

nevermind

i put my phone down as i let out a small and short sigh, then looking over at clay. his eyes were red and puffy. it was obvious that he stayed up all night crying.

"where is george?" he asked.

"he's in the library with-"

before i could finish my sentence clay began to sit up from the table. obviously he was going to go to the library to try and talk to george. except i wasn't going to allow that.

i grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down to the table.

"carter, stop"

"no, clay. the last thing he wants to do right now is talk to you. just give him some space for now"

"fine"

"what did you do to him?" i asked. "it's obvious both of you stayed up all night crying."

"something happened yesterday at the party..."

"did you both get drunk and..."

"no," he immediately replied. "it's that stupid ass julia chick"

"isn't that the truth or dare girl?" i asked.

i immediately paused. the truth or dare girl. THE TRUTH OR DARE GIRL.

"that's what all of this is about isn't it? that fucking truth or dare shit from the party?" i asked. it was obvious i was getting mad.

clay didn't respond. i saw his eyes widen and his breathing getting heavier.

"you made george fall in love with you? that's why he's crying. then you broke his heart, right?"
