( TRUTH OR DARE )

"Hey Y/N, you should totally come to Jessica's party later." Justin says as he nudges my arm.

"Hmm, yeah sure I guess. I mean I don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway so sure, I'll come." I reply with a small smile.

"Really!? That's great!" he replies his fists throwing up in the air in joy.

"Calm down Justin. Uhm, who else is coming?" I ask and let out a laugh.

"Just the usual, Hannah, Clay, Sheri, Alex, Monty, Tony, Jeff, Zach." he answers.

"Zach?! Zach is coming?" I reply as my eyes widen in shock.

Zach, Zachary Dempsey. How do I begin to describe Zach? 6foot3 in height, dark brown hair, milk chocolate colored eyes, plump lips, nose accurately shaped by the Gods, and his smile, oh his perfect smile. He was the captain of the basketball team in our school.

Every single girl in our school swooned over his presence, you can almost hear their hearts race whenever he walks through the hallway. Almost all of the girls had a crush on him, and all of them had no chance with him, and that included me. Although he was this popular, social butterfly in our school, he still kept the right amount of distance to others, which made him seem mysterious and cold.

We've always been close, and he was one of the people I often share my secrets too. In our group of friends, Zach and I always get teased. They'd always tell us that we should go out, we should date each other and stuff like that, but for some reason it never actually happens. I've heard some of my friends say that he liked me, and I mean like, like, not as a friend but as something more, but I just ignore them. I mean, yeah, I like him too, but I'm just not the kind of person to make the first move. I kind of like what we have now, we're really close, special friends and I like how comfortable I am whenever I'm with him.

Everytime he'd flash his smile at me, everytime I'd tease him because he's abnormally tall for his age, everytime he'd give me a back hug, everytime he'd feed me food when I'm busy, everytime he'd whine when I beat him in a video game, all of the little things made me fall more and more in love with him everyday. It's just a shame that I can't confess to him and that he hasn't tried telling me what he feels too, if ever he did feel anything for me.

"Y/N." Justin calls my name.

"Y/N!" he snaps his fingers in front of my face as I awaken to reality and realize I've been staring blankly, thinking about Zach.

"Oh! I'm sorry." I jump as I give him a faint smile.

"The bell just rang." he says as he stands up from his seat and laughs at me.

"Oh it did? Ugh, sorry I was kind of lost for a moment there." I reply as I stand up to get my backpack.

"I'll see you at Jess' later, okay?" he says as we walk side by side to leave the classroom.

"Oh yeah okay. See you later!" I reply as I wave my hand goodbye and walk to the other direction to my next class.

I walk over to my next class, and as I enter, I already see Hannah, Clay and Alex in our usual seats. We all sat on a table near the windows at the back, because we hated this class. We didn't really pay attention to anything the teacher was saying so we decided to take a seat at the back, and this subject was really easy anyway so it didn't require much attention.
