I bit my lip.
"Dare.."

"I dare you to kiss Cameron?"

Everyone stared at her.

She sighed.
"What? It's just a dare. It won't mean anything right?"

I rolled my eyes and gave Cameron a quick peck on the lips, but it lasted longer than it should. I quickly pulled away to see an angry Ethan.

"I have to get something from my room." Ethan said, getting up quickly.

I sighed and followed him.

"Seems like trouble in paradise." Melinda whispered.

I rolled my eyes and continued to follow Ethan upstairs.
"What's up?"

He scoffed.
"My girlfriend just kissed my bestfriend. That's what's up."

I bit my lip.
"It was just a dare. It didn't mean anything."

"You didn't have to do it. That was more than just a peck, everyone noticed."

"Ethan, it didn't mean anything!"

"Then how come you guys are always hanging out! Your always posting pics together. You guys seem like more of a couple than we do."

"I don't like him like that! I only met him a couple weeks ago, and you introduced him to me."

"How do you know Cam doesn't like you like that?"

"He's your bestfriend. Why would he like me?"

"This wouldn't be the first time Cameron liked one of my girlfriends." He said, rolling his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't you ask your best friend." He said walking into the bathroom and slamming the door.

I bit my lip and walked to my room to see Winter leaning against the door.
"Problems?"

"Yes." I groaned.

She sat with me on my bed.
"It was about that kiss with you and Cameron right?"

I nodded.
"He thinks that me and Cameron like each other."

"Do you?"

"No! Not like that anyways."

"The kiss kinda looked like you guys liked each other."

"We don't!"

"Okay. Okay. I believe you. Does Ethan believe you?"

"No he doesn-"

I was interrupted by a knock on the door, and we looked up to see Cameron in the doorway.
I sighed and Winter raised an eyebrow.
"I'll let you two talk." She said, walking out.

Cameron gave me a small smile.
"I didn't mean to cause anything between you and Ethan.."

"It's fine. I'll handle it."

He nodded.

"Do you like me?"

"Sure. As a friend."

I took a sigh of relief.
"Great. Can you tell Ethan that?"

"Does Ethan think I like you..like that?"

I nodded.
"He does."

"I'll clear the air."

I got up and hugged him.
"That would be great."

He hugged me back.
"Well, I'm pretty tired. Goodnight Ciara."

"Night Cam."

I changed into a pair of sweatpants and a sports bra, and started to get ready for bed. I walked into my bathroom and realized that I didn't have any toothpaste. I sighed and walked to the main bathroom to get some. When I opened the door, I bumped into a shirtless Grayson.
"Damn. You scared me."
