Just Friends?

Flashback (p-2)

Mmm... vanilla-chocolate batter...mapple syrup.
I smelled while I was asleep.
"Waffles" I mumbled waking up. Mum was making waffles, my favourite.

I rushed down and right into the kitchen.
"Morning honey." Mum smiled
"Morning mum. Are those chocolate waffles you're making?" I asked.
"Yes"
"I thought so"
"So how was school?..."
"Uh..it was good. I'll be right back " I said and went back to my room remembering the texts I got last night from Rebecca.

I called but she didn't pick up. I wondered what was so urgent.
"Amber have you seen my socks?" Drake yelled barging into my room and scaring the hell out of me.
"God!..Have you heard of knocking before entering into someone's room?. Grow up Drake."
" Seen them or not?"
"No"
"Fine" he said and left.

I always imagined how peaceful life would have been without a nincompoop brother. Oh speaking of socks, I realized I needed to get dressed for school. I changed and went down for breakfast.

Drake was already sitting on the table eating waffles, so I joined him too.
" I saw your Boyfriend back at school" he whispered elbowing me.
I rolled my eyes and remained silent. Drake was also one of those who'd say so. But he did it mostly to annoy me. Unlike the others.

"Now don't gimme that look. What else do you expect me to call him? " he continued
"Anything but this" I said, annoyed
"Well you did kiss him thoug-"
"Hold it right there. If you're talking about that day. Then let me tell you it wasn't me who kissed him. Besides it was years ago and it was just a dumb game, nothing serious." I said glancing over my shoulder immediately to see if mum had heard anything. Thankgod she had left. So I turned back to Drake who was busy munching on his waffles.

I finished breakfast and left for school. Drake came along but walked at distance knowing I was mad at him. But this was part of my routine. Not a day goes by when I don't get into a fight with him.

(Preview)
While I was really enjoying my time laughing Andrew spun the bottle and it faced towards Josh.
"Truth or Dare... Josh Anderson" Andrew asked Josh with a look that gave me chills.
Josh was all calm and he chose Dare. Thank god. I mean if he'd chosen the truth then everyone would've brought up the "Jamber" topic. (You know...Josh+Amber=Jamber) Andrew and Lindsey came up with the name and that's what everyone called it then.
Josh didn't mind it though and neither did I. The name...only.

"I kinda like my name tied up with yours like this. Best Friends forever." I had told Josh once.
And he said "Cute. Me too".

-------------

"So, I dare you to...." Andrew paused and grinned.
"...kiss Amber" Lindsey completed.

"What?" I asked confused.
"What do you mean what. What's so wrong in kissing a hot guy." Rebecca added, winking.

I had no idea what was going on. Just when I looked towards Josh he leaned over and kissed me. I kept my eyes closed, not knowing what to do. Three seconds..five seconds...it seemed like forever until he finally pulled off. I didn't do anything and just sat there while Josh gave me a smile.

"Well that my friend, was a job well done." Louis commented.
Everyone laughed and surprisingly that included me as well.
It was a bit awkward to get kissed by your best friend. But it wasn't that bad *wink*. I mean he knew me more than anyone could. He even knew the reason why I wasn't ready for this 'relationship' stuff yet. Besides it was just a dare. So a small kiss couldn't have changed anything. Or could it?...
