The Bad Boy's Nerd (ON BREAK)

5. | The Dare

Vivienne's POV:

Till now, the bottle had landed on almost all the people sitting in that circle but me and another girl who appeared to be a year or two younger than me. I have to admit that she was astoundingly stunning. Her long, dirty blonde locks were a little short of reaching her waist and her eyes possessed a sparkling shade of grey with a speck of hazel around the middle. She looked familiar, but I couldn't recall from where. Putting my thoughts aside, I gathered my attention back to what we were doing as it was Aaron's turn to spin.

He twisted his wrist and gave the bottle a powerful spin. And when it stopped, the bottle oriented itself so its mouth could point towards me. I was hoping this wouldn't happen as the dares being given weren't as clean as I would have liked them to be. I could see a smirk forming on Aaron's plump, peach lips as his gaze held a mischievous glint.

"I dare you, Vivienne Green, to kiss me on the lips."

My eyes grew as wide as it was humanly possible. I couldn't believe my ears. My crush had just asked me to kiss him. I was too dumbfounded to do anything but blink my eyes at him when Sam hit her shoulder with mine and brought me back to my senses. I hesitantly inched forwards while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. But Aaron wasn't in the mood to waste any second. He zoomed towards me, and in one swift motion crashed his lips on mine. One of his hands went in my hair and the other around my waist. It took me about 15 seconds to reciprocate the kiss and when I did, I grabbed him by shoulders to support myself. When we pulled away, both of us were gasping for breathe but the smirk never left Aaron's face. As his eyes were scanning me, I couldn't help but blush as I still felt the ghost of his lips on my own. I could feel the internal fangirl of Sam coming alive without even looking at her because if not earlier, right now I had given away that I had a crush on Aaron in front of her.

I turned to face her and she couldn't contain her excitement. She was almost ready to attack me with her string of questions when Aaron got up from our little seating, stating the end of his play and walked out.

The girl with the dirty blonde hair was the first to let out a squeal of excitement. She turned to me and I could see she was even more elevated than Sam.

"Oh my god! You kissed Aaron Mendes! I can't believe that I just saw that live and in action. Ever since I have come to this school, I couldn't stop hearing people go on about him and his charms continuously. But now that I have seen it for myself, I don't blame them one bit. The guy is so hot!", she said the last part fanning herself with her hands.

I could only laugh in response at her exhilarated self. Sam and Kiera, as I came to learn her name, instantly clicked, and why would they not after discovering they both possessed the same qualities. Both of them were obsessed with any kind of drama in school. They knew so much about the day to day happenings that I won't be surprised if they end up with a magazine for only the daily happenings in the school.

Both of them instantly fell into conversation and I, not being a gossip person, just walked by their side and unconsciously we all made our way to the kitchen. There was variety of drinks for us to choose from, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I chose to get a glass of sprite for myself and so did Sam. Kiera opted for a glass of plain water.

What I had gathered from their conversation was that Kiera was a year younger than us. She held a passion for designing and expressed her dream of majoring in interior designing. Even though I wasn't the one to judge, by her poise and etiquette ways, it didn't required rocket science to decipher that she came from the rich class. And her classic black, Gucci clutch along with sleek Louis Vuitton heels accounted for the same. But she wasn't snobby or bratty, not even one bit. She was one of the nicest person I had come across.

The rest of the night went by in a flash. After having a few snacks and drinks, we decided to head out. I can't believe that I'm saying this but the party wasn't a bad experience and I could definitely get used to this. Walking out of the house, into the yard was as pleasing as it could get. The cold breeze of the dark night gently hit us and was a starting contrast to the hot, sweaty conditions of the inside. Sam and Kiera both had taken off their heels, which were now being carried by them in their hands, to free their aching feet from their misery.

As we bee-lined towards to litte gate in the fence opening onto the street, I heard Sam mutter a shit under her breathe. Turns out she had left her phone somewhere in the house, so she scurried inside to get it. Meanwhile, Kiera decided to sit on the grass with back against the bark of the tree and I took seat on the swing hanging from the branch of the same tree.

"So, how do you like our school so far?", I asked.

"I won't say I love it but it's not that bad. I will get used to it in no time."

"Yeah. I totally get you on that one. But then again, which high school out is not a hassle."

"Hmm... I guess you're right."

After that, we fell in a comfortable silence. Sam came out of the house soon after and as we were about to leave, I turned to Kiera.

"Do you need a ride home?"

She immediately waved her hands in dismissal and said, "Oh! No there won't be any need of it. My brother will be picking me up."

As I was about to reply, I heard a deep, raspy voice from behind calling for Kiera.

"Luke! Right on time as always", she chuckled as she walked towards the owner of the voice.

I shifted my gaze from her to the guy. And the realisation struck me like lightning. The person clad in his signature oversized hoodie, was no other than the mysterious, new boy. And now that I thought of it, I realised it was pretty dumb of me to not join the dots when Kiera stated she had changed schools because of her brother's doings. Apparently, her mother was afraid she would end up getting bullied due to it and thought the safest option to be this.

Now that I had soaked in his appearance, I could see how similar they both were in looks. Both of them possessed the same striking, grey eyes although Luke's had a few green flecks along with the hazel. While Kiera's hair were dirty blonde, Luke's were more on the brown side. His sharp, angular features made him look no lesser than a modern day Adonis.

I wasn't yet done soaking in his godly appearance when he cleared his throat, as if in an attempt ton convey that he wasn't oblivious to my obtrusive staring. I dropped my head in embarrassment as a deep blush took over my cheeks. Both the siblings, made quick stride towards their ride after Kiera exchanged her bye's with Sam and I.

As soon as I seated my butt on the passenger seat of the car, I heard Sam shriek with excitement. She turned to me with bubbling excitement and exclaimed.

"I can't believe you kissed Aaron Mendes! And the fact that he himself dared you to do that, oh my god!! How was it? Is he really as good as everyone says?"

There she goes. Now I know what the topic of discussion for the whole drive back home would be. And I wasn't quite cheerful about that, to say the least. Because I myself hadn't come to terms with the fact that just an hour earlier I had locked my lips with no other than Aaron Mendes.
