Imagine:
"This is a bad idea..." I say, but my heart pounds at the thought of missing out Spin the bottle. I look at Shawn and he waits for an answer. His eyes sparkle in the dim room light as his mouth pulls into a smirk.
"Come on Y/n, you're not scared are you?"
In fact, I am. I don't want my first kiss to be like this, but I don't want to admit that to Shawn. We join our friends and sit at opposite ends of the circle, Nash, Cam and Brian by his side while I'm sat inbetween my two best friends. I can tell Y/bff/n's looking forward to it. She has a major crush on Nash and his blue eyes, so she'd do anything to steal a kiss from him. And me? Shawn Mendes. The boy whose family has lived across the street from me since 5th grade. The boy I've liked since being in the same classes as him from 7th grade.
I nudge Y/bff/n with my elbow and start to get up. "You know what? I've changed my mind, I think I'll just head back-"
"And we have a volunteer!" someone yells. I look up and see Cam's face gleaming at me. "You can spin the bottle and whoever it lands on, you kiss on the lips. You only get one pass, afterwards, it's a forfeit. Good luck babe."
He flashes a wink at me and I reply by sticking out my tongue at him. My group of friends and Shawn's group have mingled over the years since we started talking to each other. All I can say is that the beach parties are never boring, and the road trip we went on last summer was the coolest thing we ever did altogether.
My hand shakes as I lean forward and spin an empty beer bottle. Everyone watches as they make noises and drum roles to build tension. It lands on Brian.
"PASS!" we both yell out in unison.
I've known Brian longer than Shawn, so to kiss him would just be wrong to me. Instead, I get up and hug him from behind and kiss him on the cheek.
"You know me too well Y/n," he says and laughs as he pecks the side of my head. I stay sat down beside him as it's his turn to spin the bottle. It stops infront of Shawn and everyone claps and squeals.
I nudge Brian and whisper in his ear. "Oi, oi. Get in. I'm gonna have to admit, I'm kinda jealous of you right now."
He looks at me, a smirk playing at his lips. Oh no... "You don't have to be Y/n," he whispers before turning to the rest of the group. "Guys listen up! Y/n said she wants to take my place and kiss Shawn instead."
He winks at me and mouths "you're welcome" and laughs as I swear at him. I share my secrets with him, including my crush on Shawn. He always said that Shawn likes me too, but I never believed him. Maybe now's the chance to find to out?
