Aphmau's POV
Physical Education isn't really my favorite class since I really don't exercise or anything. But there's nothing I can do about it. Garroth is in my PE class so that makes me feel a bit better. It was really hot and I was sweating with these sweats on. But I had no choice. If I had put on shorts or bought them, they would reveal my bruises and cuts. The PE teachers come out and blow their whistles, signaling that it was time for class to start. We sit in alphabetical order. Since my last name starts with a 'P', I sit right in front of Garroth because his last name starts with a 'R'. The teacher calls all of our names and we do a bit of stretches until he dismisses us. Then we have the rest of period free. Luckily, our friends have the same period as us.

"Hey aren't you hot with that sweater and those sweats on?" He asked me. "Oh not really" I reply. I wear the sweater to also hide the cuts and bruises. We walk over to where our friends are hanging out at. They were over at the grass field under a huge tree. "Hey!" Laurance greets us. We greet him back and he says ,"We were just about to play Truth or Dare, wanna join us?". "Sure. A game of Truth or Dare won't harm us."

At least, that's what I thought.

Laurance takes out a notebook from his bavkpack and places it on the grass. And then places a glass bottle on it so that he could spin it. He then spun it and moments later, it pointed to Dante. "Ok, Dante. Truth or Dare?" Laurance asks him excited. "Truth!" Dante yelled out. "Ok, is it true that you like Nicole?" Laurance asked him with a devilish grin on his face. Dante blushed a bright red and responds," M-maybe..". And then It was Nicole's turn to blush. Laurance spun the bottle again, and this time it pointed to Garroth. Laurance had a big frin on his face and then asked," Truth or Dare?". "Truth" Garroth mumbled. "Chicken!" Travis yelled out while acting like one too. "Fine! Dare" Garroth exclaimed. Laurance had a toothy grin on his face and whispered into Garroth's ear. Whatever his dare was must've been pretty embarrasing because he blushed several kinds of reds. "N-no!!" Garroth said while his face was still burning red. "Aww come on, don't be a chicken" Katelyn said while clucking like a chicken. Then everyone else joined in. "I-I'm not a c-chicken!" Garroth said still blushing. "Then do your dare!" Laurance said while smirking. "If it proves I'm not a chicken ... Then fine!" He then turns around to face me and caught me by surprise. He grabbed my chin and leaned in and smashed his lips on mine.I widen my eyes in disbelief. I could hear everyone gasp. Before I could have any time to react, he pulled away and said," Not a chicken anymore am I?" Pouting. I could feel all the heat rushing to my face. Everyone congratulates Garroth as if he won a competition. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there. Just blushing. Trying to take in what just happened. H-HE K-K-KISSED ME? I I I I I WHAT. W-H-A-T.

"S-Sorry" Garroth said still blushing a bit. I nod slowly, then realizing something. T-That was m-my first k-- "I'm just glad it wasn't your first kiss" He said letting out a small laugh. "U-um.." I said stuttering, "y-you... Kinda were?" I say trying to stop blushing. His expression then turned to a worried look as everyone gasped again. "W-w-what?! I-I'm s-sorry!! I d-didn't know! Please forgive me!" He said, over-reacting. "It's okay.. it really doesn't matter" I said with a worried smile. Not like any other boy was gonna kiss me anyways.

"A-are you s-sure?" Garroth asked me concerned. "Positive" I say calmly. "If you s-say so" He looked at me uncertain. "Sorry for k-kissing You without a-asking" He said with a small blush on his cheeks. "Its alright" I say reassuringly. He looks at me with an unsure look. Hopefully everything will be ok between us now...
