Started With A Dare |ON HOLD|

1) Climb Like A Monkey

Whilst I was sat on the floor of my purple bedroom, one of the most important questions of my life was going to come out of the person who was covered in sweet wrappers and had a hobo like blanket on top of them.

"Truth or dare, Mal?" I rolled my eyes,

"Obviously dare."

"Never give up a dare do you?" Alisha asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes, I warily shook my head. Oh no this can't be good.

"I dare you, Mal Cameron, to sneak into Gabriel Woods room and steal his famous pair of lucky socks."

My eyes immediately widened and my mouth hung agape. I was not going to do that. That would be embarrassing and if I got caught, I mentally shivered that would be even worse.

"Oh come on! You said you never turn down a dare so, don't do it now." I sighed exasperated with this. Half of my brain was saying yes and the other half was saying no. Hmm if I don't do it I'll be called a coward and lose my top spot but if I do do it and it leaks out I'll be embarrassed beyond belief.

"Fine I'll do it, as long as nobody tells anyone about it understood?" My best friends all shook their heads. I wasn't popular, yet I wasn't a nerd. I had 3 best friends, Faith, Alisha and Tyler. We are all the same age and met when we were 4 years old so yeah a long time.

I was taken out of my trance by Faith giving me her iPhone, I furrowed my eyebrows confused.

"You're going to need to record it aren't you?" I nodded my head and shoved it into my pockets. Faith was perfect. Perfect dark brown hair, perfect olive body, hour glass figure, no need for makeup as she was so pretty and may I just say she has actual fashion sense. Sometimes I wish I was her as boys flew to her like a moth to a flame, I on the other hand attracted the geeky, needy ones.

Alisha was the same, but she had a pixie blonde cut but a really pale complexion. Her sky blue eyes were coated in mascara and eyeliner. She was pretty but she needed makeup as she said. Tyler was Faiths brother and looked the same as her but......a dude.

Anyway, by the time I'd finished my thoughts everyone was ready for the joke that was about to happen, me climbing into Gabriel Woods' house and stealing his lucky pair of socks, this will be fun.

"Come on, it's not that scary! I've climbed higher!" Tyler whisper shouted at me whilst I climbed up along vines on his two storied bedroom.

"I'm trying as hard as I can, I'm not even scared of heights and I can climb like a monkey but it's hard when there are these slippery and unstable vines." I whispered back, he shook his head and scoffed as I rolled my eyes.

5 minutes later I was attempting to climb through the window, key word there; attempting. The hard bit is, when your trying to climb through a window make sure the window is open and not closed. Luckily for me, the window was slightly open so all I had to do was push it open and hope for the best. One of my legs was lifted over the ledge whilst the other was hanging deadly from the window.

My arms held strength and I used that strength to help myself up to get my other leg over the window ledge. I breathed a sigh of relief as my feet were firmly planted on the cream carpet of Gabriel's bedroom. A gigantic bed was placed in the middle of the bedroom, a desk was at the corner of the bedroom whilst random lacy lingerie was scattered around the room. I grimaced at the all the under garments that were around the room.

He's not a player so how did he get so many pieces are of underwear around the room.

My head immediately popped up as I remembered that I was meant to speak into a camera. I grabbed the phone from the floor and held it landscape and started recording.

"Well today I am doing this big ass dare to steal Gabriel Woods lucky pair of socks. Wish me luck." I whispered into the camera, I turned around and started looking through all the drawers around his room. Not a single one had the special socks I was looking for. I sighed. Will I ever find it?

An idea popped into my head and I turned around the room in search of the wardrobe. My eyes landed on it and I sighed a sigh of relief. Immediately I walked over to it, being careful not to step onto any creaky floorboards. When I saw the familiar pair of red and white socks my eyes immediately widened and I smiled.

Thank god! This maybe easier than I thought it would be.

That was my thought until I heard laughter up the stairs. I hurriedly picked up the socks. I cursed under my breath and slide under the bed and held my breath even my brothers bedroom wasn't as bad as this. The laughter got louder and eventually the bedroom door knob opened up and Gabriel and his friend Lucas pranced into the room. I held my breath, making sure I wasn't heard.

"That was one sick party man! I can't believe you had to kiss that nerd, Jemelia." Lucas laughed, Gabriel rolled his eyes and sighed.

"What do you wanna do now?" Gabriel asked yawning. Even though I don't like him that sounded really cute.

Lucas sighed, "How about we play a board game, they're only under your bed." He suggested, Gabriel shrugged and my eyes widened.

I was under the bed so how was he meant to get the board game.

I cursed under my breath as he bent down to get a game his eyes were nonchalant. I closed my eyes, when I opened them I heard screaming as wide eyes were staring into my aqua blue ones. I started screaming as all three of us in the room were now screaming.

Gabriel stopped, "Who are you?" He asked with a high pitched voice, my eyes were still wide as I answered the question.

"You will never find out who I am." I said in an American accent, I rolled out from under the bed and ran towards the window, socks in hand. Like a monkey I climbed down the vines, grabbed Faith, Alisha and Tyler by the arm and we ran down the road until we reached my house. All of us out of breath.

"So did you get the socks or not?" Alisha asked, I smiled and held up the lucky pair of socks as all of us smiled happily.

Well I'm going to have fun tomorrow at school aren't I?
