i looked at my computer screen deciding on which to pick. nerve was a game of truth or dare but minus the truth. watchers watch other people play. you send them money with each dare you tell them to do. players play the game. do the dares sent get the money pretty easy right?

i pressed player. maybe it'll be fun i thought in my head as i did what they told me to do: enter my bank account info and my touch id. the robotic voice continued to talk until i seen myself live streaming.
i called my friend, henry, telling him to pick me up.

"i can't believe you signed up for this" he scolded as i just sat down in the car. "it could be fun, maybe you can do it with me" i put on my seatbelt and he started to drive off.

"no, i'm too much of a wuss" he said causing me to laugh. he pulled up to the neon lit diner that was in our town. i looked down at my phone as it vibrated.

"kiss a stranger for five seconds?" i read the dare out loud seeing the offer of two hundred dollars. i raised my eyebrows at it in shock. two hundred dollars just to kiss someone. this had to be the easiest thing ever.

henry and i walk slowly around the diner looking for someone. "are you sure you want to do this? you're breaking all health code validations" he said protectively. "it's two hundred dollars" i informed him again. he sighed looking around. "well what about that guy" he shrugged as he pointed to someone reading a book. he looked young. maybe the only other young person in this diner other than me and henry.

henry sat in a booth and i gave him my phone. "you have to film it" he held it waiting for me to go occasionally signaling me to do it already with his hand. i took a deep breath as i slowly approached to boy. he was reading the outsiders, which is a great book.

"oh, i love that book" i spoke. he let the book down revealing his face and woah was he hot. "is that so?" he said. and he has an accent?!

"y-yeah. the plot is really good. the rising and falling actions, along with the climaxes are pleasing to read and the movie may or may not have made me cry a few times.."  i rambled on which made his eyebrows raise in surprise. "and i don't know why i just said that..." i trailed off feeling a little embarrassed that i was talking so much. i look over at henry and he tapped his wrist signaling i was running out of time.

"uhh" i laughed out before taking the risk and kissing him. he jumped back at little at the sudden action but relaxed a little bit after. "....y/n" i heard henry whisper yell my name and i pulled away, quickly standing back up.

"enjoy the book" i ran off going back to the booth i was sitting in and hiding my face. "oh my go i can't believe i just did that- holy jesus" i let out a breath. "hey, at least your banking" henry slid my phone over to me showing me that the money went to my bank account. "woah" i said in shock.

randomly, music started to play throughout the diner gaining my attention to who was signaling. it was the guy, hoping and walking on table singing to whoever he passed by and eventually looked over at me.
"is he singing to me?" i questioned out loud. you could say i might like a little bit of clichés. must have watched the notebook too many times.

"nope, it's a dare" he pointed over to a girl who was recording him. "oh-" i let out scratching my head in regret that i thought it was for me. he came over to us after he finished to singing the song.

"that was a nice performance"

"worth's hundreds" he held up his phone showing he just earned three hundred dollars.

"are you y/n?" he asked looking at his phone screen. "uhh yeah. why?"

"seems like they want us to take a field trip" he showed me his dare. i even had the same one but it was telling me to go with him. "oh" i let out and glanced at henry, who shook his head at the dare. "excuse us" he said holding up the menu to block out faces.

"you're not going to the city" henry whispered. "and why not?" i whispered back. "you don't even know his name"

"it's ben" the boy said clearly hearing what we were saying. "and because you're not allowed to plus...he doesn't look like the safest person" he made his voice lower than it already was.

"what do you mean he doesn't look safe?" i questioned, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "i'm still here" ben said. i push the menu down and stood up. henry held in hand up in a 'really?' kind of way.

"i accept" i said pressing the green button.
