The Dare That Ruined My Life

grief.

Walking in the new York streets is the most exotic feeling ever. I slid my hand into long coat's pocket as my hands heat up on the contact a soft smile appear on my face as I look up at the sky. It was as beautiful as always.

A Scent caught my nose as I closed my eyes and felt it. I have smelled this scent somewhere...but where?

I moved closer to the coat I was holding as I looked up and saw....what? Is it real? I stared up at his face. Jacob Jesson.

I stare into his eyes and wasn't able to blink mine His eyes still had the same glow of love it had 3 years ago. Everything was just so shocking to believe. I was seeing him again after 3 straight years. Was he real? was it just an illusion? His lips curved into a small smile as I stared at him. he is real- what- "it's been a while, Maya."

He spoke...what? He's real- he remembers me-- he remembers us.

3 years ago...

“keep running cause I'm going to catch you.” Maya said as she chased her stupid friend who was running here and there in the building.

“oh come on, we both know you suck at chasing, Maya.” Noah, her bestfriend. They knew eachother since they were in their diapers.

“oh, come on!” she shouted as she started chasing him again. While they were doing the stupid running game Maya suddenly bumped into a hard chest. Her head came in contact with the chest.

She breathe heavily as she heard the heartbeat of someone. She smelled a beautiful scent. She looked up to see...fuck.

She cursed at herself as she saw Jacob Jesson. The coldest guy of their college. He was a straight A student. He was good looking. He had big muscles and a great face.

“u-m-i-” he cutted her off by just rolling his eyes and walking towards his table. “damn.” she mumbled.

It was kinda...shocking to her cause no one would ever dare to leave a chance to talk to Maya. She was the most popular kid of the school. Every guy was drowning over her.

“maya!” she heard a shout as she looked up to see Noah smirking at her. He walked towards her with his annoying face as she rolled her eyes.

“what..?” she asked as he smiled at her. “you interested in him?” He asked as she looked at him with a confused look.

“Who?” she asked as she moved her head to the other side. “oh, come on you know what I'm talking about..that...cold guy.” he said as she stared at him. He sat on his seat and started eating his lunch silently.

“he's weird.” she spoke staring at him from head to toe. Noah patted her back. “im a guy but I accept he's hot.” he said as she rolled her eyes and smirked at him.

“go make your shot, you look more interested in him than me.” she said as she started walking out of the cafeteria. He chuckled at her words as he followed her.

“come on, Maya Im not a gay.” he said as he walked along with her. “well, you act like one.” she said as he rolled his eyes at her words.

“i was just trying to find a boyfriend for my bestfriend.” he said as she took a pause and turned towards him.

“not my type.” she said and started walking away again. He was handsome. He had a great style but he didn't had that kind of personality she would fall for. He was cold as ice.

“Oh come on!” he said as he stopped following her. She kept waking away and he shouted. “HE IS YOUR TYPE!” he shouted as she widened her eyes. The whole school was staring at them as she quickly walked to him.

She covered his mouth with her face. He sucks. She thought as she bowed to everyone in the hall apologizing to them for her stupid friend's fault.

She took him to a empty classroom as she kick his knuckle. “ow.” he winced as she rolled her eyes. “you embarrassed me so bad, noah.” she spoke as he smirked at his victory.

“exactly, that's what I wanted to do.” he said as he chuckled. She rolled her eyes once again as she hit him on his chest.

“if you don't stop making fun of me..i'll...” she took a pause as he smirked at her and crossed his arms on his chest. “you'll?” he asked as she smiled snuggling closer to his face as she spoke.

“you remember 25th December 2019?” she asked as he shivered on the thought. He gulped down on his own saliva. She moved back to her place and this time she was the one crossing her arms on her chest as she spoke.

“i'm 100 percent sure you don't want anybody at the school to see that.” she said as he quickly shook his head in no. She laughed at his state.

“maya---” he said and stared into her eyes. She winked at him giving him a flying kiss before walking out of the classroom.

“oh, god...why did I have to do that shit that day?” he said as he kicked the chair that was beside him. “damn it.” he cursed as he walked out of the empty class.

Noah threw the page at Maya after making it into a ball as she catch it carefully before the teacher could see it. He smirked at her as she opened the page.

“do you want everybody to know how you kissed the nerd of the school in 7th grade?”

She opened her mouth wide and looked up at him. She death glared at him as he smirked at her. She threw the paper ball in the dustbin as she started writing something on her paper.

She threw it back at him but...to her luck it fell on....Jacob Jesson. He was shocked. She was shocked too.

She quickly hid under her table as he looked for the person who threw it. She cursed herself under the table as he opened the page.

“oh, Jacob? I want to kiss him again so bad.”

Jacob stared at the page with a strange expression. Maya cursed herself under the table.

“wh-at?” Jacob mumbled and suddenly the paper was snatched away from his hand by Noah.

“im sorry, it was for me.” he said as Jacob stared at him with a weird expression before turning back to look at the teacher.

Noah opened the page as he laughed loudly. The whole class went silent as Noah realized what the fu- k did he just do?

The teacher threw his duster at him as he stood up. “noah Cyrus.” the teacher said as he pointed at the door of the class. “get out.” he said as Maya chuckled under the table. Noah looked down and slowly walked out of the class. Fuck.
