Nerve

Chapter 4

I loosen my grip as we come to a stop in front of a very expensive store, La Gracias. We walk in and my phone buzzes with my next dare. "Try this dress on."

I walk to the front desk, "Um... Excuse me, do you know where I can find this dress?" I hold up my phone to the desk manager. He nods and points upstairs, "yes darling, third floor, 4th section."

I make my way upstairs and see a rack of the dresses I need to try on so I grab one and read the price tag, $3,995. Oh my gosh! I bit my lip in hesitation but try it on anyway in front of the live Nerve watchers. I go outside the dressing room and see Kyle in a suit. He looks handsome. "Very pretty, Que." he says. I pose with a smile, "you too! Um... I mean! You look... good." He laughs and spins me around. I love this feeling, like I'm in the clouds and I never want to come back down. Just let me soar up there for a few more minutes, but I'm out of my feeling when Kyle stops and goes back to get changed. "Wait! My clothes are gone! And my wallet!" I scream. He comes rushing in, "mine too!"

Our phones flash with a Nerve text, "now leave the store!" I gasp and look up to Kyle. "We have to go, come on." He grabs my wrist and tugs toward the exit of my dressing room. I yank back. "I'm not shoplifting!" I say as I look back at my phone to the Nerve dare. It says, Now leave the store. And under it it reads, $4,300. I breathe in deeply and exhale. "Technically it just says we have to leave the store." I say. Next thing I knew we were leaving the dressing room in our underwear. I was in a black lace bra and matching panties. Kyle was in gray boxers and he had his black sneakers and socks on, whereas I just had my tan flats on.
We ran out and all these people stared.
Then we sprinted passed people down two escalators, my hand in his. And lastly as we made it to the door the manager stood out in front and tried to block us from leaving. Kyle jumped in mid air around him and pulled me along. Kyle and I started running outside and all the watchers cheered with their video camera pointed at us.
