"so guys do you wanna play a game?" ashley asked. the four teens were sprawled on josh's bed, while eating pizza.

"meh why not," brendon replied, "what game do you have in mind?"

tyler was slowly tuning out ashley as she was suggesting games. he was staring, sure it
was at his best friend/crush but he wouldn't notice. he just liked those eyes, the way they squinted when he smiled or his cotton candy pink hair how it matched his sweet perso-

"earth to tyler?," brendon said as tyler snapped out of it, "we're playing truth or dare."
they all sat down on josh's floor, with the dim sound of dance, dance playing in the background. they were all in a circle when josh spoke up to say that he would start. he looked to his right, where tyler sat and asked, "truth or dare?"
"truth" tyler told.

"okay," josh said, "in my ear, whisper your deepest, darkest secret."
tyler's stomach churned and he turned a ghostly shade of white. tyler didn't know what do, but there was only one thing to do. then suddenly josh grabbed tyler's hands and told him, "it's okay, you can trust me."

tyler slowly leaned up into josh's ear and whispered very gently and smoothly "i'm gay."

josh slowly stood up and away from tyler, face in shock. i fucked it up, tyler thought, it's over now. he shed a small tear as his face melted in worry. all of a sudden, josh leaned in and gave him a big hug. he held on tight and whispered into tyler's ear, "it's okay, i still love you just as much." brendon and ashley, clueless to what the actual secret was still joined into the hug. soon enough they all became one big tangled mess of 14 year olds but tyler was more than okay with it, because he would only want that mess to be him and his friends.
