in which two best friends experience what it feels like to be in love
OR
in which carmen hart turned the towns biggest player into the towns most hopeless romantic.
"have you ever wondered what it's like to have super strength?" jay asks with a lazy smile.
the 6 teens sat in carmen's basement, passing around a joint. its currently 10 pm, and carmen's parents are out of town, gwen and nates mom hasn't been home since monday, jays parents are out re-trying their honeymoon, and ozzies parents don't care what he does.
which ultimately led the teens into this position.
home alone, and high as hell.
"what is wrong with you?" ozzie asks with a judgmental look, causing jay to shrug his shoulders and lean into a conversation with nate.
"guys i'm boreedddd," gwen says, dragging out the last letter. "lets play truth or dare!" she exclaims happily before sitting upright in the beanbag she had occupied. the rest of the teens circle up, so they're no longer at random spots in the basement. they grab an empty coke bottle and place it on the floor, giving it a spin. they watch is it passes them all twice before finally landing on jay.
"jay truth or dare," gwen asks excitedly. "truth," he says humbly, causing gwen to groan and mutter something about him being boring under her breath. "who do you think is the hottest here?" she says with a little grin as she awaits his answer.
CARMENS POV
"carmen," he says without hesitation, causing my eyes to widen in surprise. "called it!" ozzie shouts from his spot on the floor. gwen gives jay some sort of 'what game are you playing here?' type of look. "what? you asked." he says before spinning the bottle again. it lands on gwen.
"gwen, truth or dare?" nikki asks lazily. "dare," gwen says, all of a sudden feeling a rush of confidence. "i dare you to go to the gas station and ask the first person you see our age to come over," she says with a smirk.
thats what led to us all piling into nates van and heading over to the first gas station we can find. we all follow gwen into the gas station and split up in different parts to watch this unfold. "hey. you look bored, wanna come hang in my friends basement?" gwen says casually to a tall boy with blonde-ish hair. "hi. i'm jesse, but my friends call me jess. i'm 16 and my favorite colors blue," the boy says blankly as he sticks his hand out. "yeah yeah we'll do all that introduction stuff later, c'mon." she says before grabbing his hand, causing us to jump from our hiding spots and make a bee line back to the van before they do.
we quickly settle back in just seconds before gwen slides the door open and shoves him in. "hi guys, this is jesse. you can call him jess," she says before turning back to him. "jess, this is nikki, ozzie, jay, nate, and carmen, you can call her carr."
"hi carr," he says with a smile. "hi jess," i say in return.
"okay okay okay step on it big boy!" she says to nate, offering him a slap on the back signaling for him to go.

"so do you guys randomly go stranger shopping?" jesse asks as we step foot back into my house. "no, it was a dare" gwen says before raiding my kitchen and running back down to the basement. honestly, its kind of off-putting to see how casual jess is about this whole situation. "it smells like weed. is there weed in here?" he asks as he looks around, carefully examining the basement. "yes." ozzie says simply as he hands him the joint.

NARRORATERS POV
"so jesse j, what school you go to? i haven't seen you around," carmen asks as she throws her legs over the blondes lap, laying her head in jays. "yeah i just moved to point place two weeks ago, but i'm starting at techtown high when school comes back around."
"thats where we go!" nate exclaims dumbly. "nate babe it's the only school in our county. of course thats where we go," nikki says, taking his hands in hers. "ok, anyways, carr, truth or dare?" gwen says, bringing them back to their previous subject. "truth,"
"who would you rather kiss, jess or jay?" carmen ponders for a little, looking back between the two boys. "i just met jess. but hes fine. but jays fine too, and i've known jay longer. so jay," she says, the weed completely overtaking her.
"i declare sudden death!" gwen announces, hopping on the couch. sudden death in truth or dare just means the person who just went has to go again, and they must pick the opposite of what they chose.
carmen chose truth.
now, carmen must do the dare given to her.
"kiss jay!" nikki exclaims.
"kiss jess!" gwen shouts.
"kiss them both!" ozzie interjects.
and thats what she does.
wasting no time, she sits up and presses her lips to jays, him immediately reciprocating and kissing back. they continue for a good 7 seconds before she switches onto jess, her friends cheering her on through it all.
"who was better???" gwen asks as she's pulls away. "i dont know, im too high to decide," she giggles slightly as she gets back into her previous position. its now about 1 in the morning, and the teens are starting to get tired. "sleepover?" gwen asks as she yawns."
"sleepover," carmen says simply before getting up and heading up the stairs, the 6 teens trailing behind her.
as jay, gwen, nikki and nate, and ozzie have slept over many times, they already know where their rooms are. as they head there, carmen leads jesse to his room, also giving him a tour of the estate as she does so.
"i am going to get lost," jesse states blankly. "my room is just down the hall, if you need anything let me know," she says before giving him one harsh shove into the room.

she finishes applying her body lotion, the advantage of being fresh out the shower making it easier as she hears a knock on her door. she heads over to open it and to her surprise, she sees jay.
"yes?" she says with a slight giggle as she hold the door open for him. "dunno. couldn't sleep," he says simply before sitting down on her bed. he's wearing nothing but some plaid pajama pants that sit low on his hips. carmen cant stop herself from looking. jay notices.
"c'mere," he says as he motions her over, slightly opening his legs so shes able to stand between them as his hands rest on the backs of her thighs. her hands immediately travel to his hair, making his breathing fasten a bit. "who was better?" he asks lowly, as if his voice might break if he speaks any louder.
"what?" shes not confused on what hes asking. she knows good and well what. shes confused on why he wants to know.
"answer the question carmen," he says as his grip tightens. "who was better? me or jesse?"
she can feel her cheeks warm as her heart rate fastens, mouth slightly ajar. his hands trail up to her waist for extra motivation. "you," she breathes out, very obviously flustered. "you think im fine baby?" he eggs on, pressing her forehead to his as she shuts her eyes in an attempt to recollect herself. she nods her head simply before he presses her lips to his, leaning back as she lays on top of him.
her legs end up on either side of his hips, pinning him down as they continue to kiss. a voice coming from the other side of the door quickly catching their attention.
