[❁ dare five] pt. 2

[five / side B → ethan's POV ; both the twins dare]

I AWOKEN TODAY AT SIX A.M., fifteen minutes earlier than our original wake up time. I stumbled into the bathroom where I proceeded to brush my teeth and undress myself. I turned the knob of the cold and hot water, adjusting it to my preferred taste before I slipped inside.

My silent alarm went off a six twenty a.m., I made sure to time myself in each task to ensure I had enough time to do exactly everything that was needed to be accomplished this morning. I turned the water off, slipping a towel around my waist.

I walked into my room, towel still around my waist and my clothes in my arms. I instantly threw the dirty clothes into my laundry basket, turning to see Grayson still sound asleep on my bed. I decided to give him another five minutes before I shook him awake.

I slipped on my favorite pair of black Calvin Klein boxers, soon ruffling a towel into my hair. I shoved myself into grey cut off sweatpants and a red/black stripped shirt. I inserted my foot into a pair of black/white vans.

"Hey bro." I murmured as I softly shake him. "You have less than ten minutes to get ready."

He groaned back in response, turning over once again before shooting up. I jumped back from his action and step back, giving him space. Grayson cursed under his breath as he threw the blankets off and stood up.

I watched him panicky shuffle into his room, I followed him and laid onto his bed. I started off watching him swiftly move around his room, grabbing whatever he could. In seconds I took my phone out, seeing as he only had six minutes to change.

"Done." Grayson muttered as he retrieved his book bag from his closet and now stood next to his door. He nervously tapped his shoe as he eyed me, I was in beyond shook to even move.

Grayson stood before me wearing red/blue checkered pants and green/white stripped short. An awful and wrong combination if I were to be asked.

"Grayson, dude. What are you wearing?" I asked, trying my hardest to contain my laughter.

He took one glance at his outfit before he threw everything off. In a matter of minutes, Grayson stood before me again but this time with different clothes.

"Are you serious?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What?"

"We're dressed the exact same, I understand that we're twins bu—"

"We're late enough, I'm going like this." Grayson anxiously said, already pacing out of his room.

"Whatever." I muttered, close to his heel.

I made my way into our school's library during my lunch break. I sat at one of the circle tables that were set up by the window and began peering outside. I munched into my apple, preoccupied by day dreaming and nature's beauty.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" A voice spoke, startling me. I turned around to see no other than May herself.

"Yeah, pity we can't eat outside." I sadly replied.

"Yeah..." She drifted off. Suddenly she turns towards me. "So whatcha doing after school?"

"Uhh, nothing that I know of. Why?" I revealed.

"Wanna hang out at Target?" May offered as she wiggled her eyebrows. "We can have fun!"

"What could be so find about hanging out at a store?"

"We could play around, duh!"

"Specifically is...?"

"We could play hide and go seek." She quickly suggested. "We could also play with the toys."

"You've won me over with the toy cars."

"Oo, you like playing with toy cars!" May teased which soon ceased into a fit of giggles.

"Says the person who said Target was a fun place to hang out." I snickered.

"Hey!" May remarked. She jokingly slapped my bicep, going into another fit of giggles.

"Bro, do you even lift?"

"Of course!" I confidently spoke as I rolled up my sleeve, showing off my muscles that I had proudly been working on for the past few months.

May went on to mocking my arm movements before doubling over. She tried doing it again but wasn't able to as she bursted out laughing again.

"Hey, I think I have the biggest muscles in this whole school!"

"Sure, if you say so." May choked in between his giggles.

May was one of the most nicest and funniest person, I've ever had the honor of meeting. I regretted what had happened in the past, which cause us to separate but I'm grateful we were able to be friends again.

"Do that muscle thing again!"

.·:*¨♡ N E R V E ♡¨*:·.

The sound of my phone ringing was the only thing heard at Target. I glanced around, noticing that almost everyone was eyeing my back. I quietly apologize as I turned silenced my ringer.

Just as I was about to close my phone, my phone vibrated again and nerve's message appeared. My breathe hitched as I read it, this has got to be by far the worst dare anyone could've gotten.

I was challenged from my viewers to mess up Grayson's life. Grayson, who was there for me when I deeply needed a shoulder to cry on and Grayson who was my only best friend growing up.

Memories of Grayson and I flooded in front of me. Memories from when we were younger and jumping out of the crib. Memories when we would record ourselves doing weird skits. Memories from when I first got rejected and Grayson stood by me, reassuring it had nothing to do with the way I looked.

I didn't even second guessed, I clicked decline. My eyes started to water as I tried to collect my self. I have never ever wanted to ruin my twin's life, no matter how better it was. I just hope Grayson has never had those thoughts either.

[ YOU HAVE DECLINED THE DARE! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING NERVE, THE MONEY YOU HAVE EARNED WILL SHORTLY BE REMOVED FROM YOUR ACCOUNT. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW ENEMY'S ]

"You good, Eth?" May kindly asked, I felt her hand softly grab mines.

"Yeah, all good! Now let's go find the toy's section."
