It All Started With a Dare

01

"Truth or Dare" asked Janette who was half drunk, yet sober enough to pour another cup of beer in for herself.

It was almost midnight, and we're throwing a good-bye party for Alex. Apparently he won't be staying in town for highschool, so we decided to make one like any other good friends do. Well, he's actually my sister's friend, who is actually her boyfriend's friend. But Alex and I are actually pretty close.

We actually invited some other people from school, but they already left. So it was down to only the eight of us. Janette, Danny, Abby, Josh, Gabe, Diana, me, and my bestfriend Alice. We decided to play "Truth or Dare or Drink" which was a game that my sister and her friend made long time ago. It's where if you wouldn't accept either the truths of dares, then you have to jug one whole glass of beer and the game ends when everyone is basically wasted.

"Truth!" yelled Danny while smiling looking really drunk as ever, you could totally the redness in his face blending in with his skin.

"Who was the last person you had sex with?" asked Janette looking at Danny right in the eye.

"Woah! Guys my sister is here, she's too innocent to hear this kind of stuff," said Diana. Everyone laugh, except me.

I always hate it when Diana treats me like I'm still a kid, when we're only 2 years different for God sake! I also hate it when she always have to win in everything. But not tonight... 

"No I'm not!" I protested. 

"Fine, then what about you do one round, and see where this goes," said Gabe. 

I looked at Alice who was sitting next to me, by the way she stare at me, she knew I was thrilled. Ofcourse I had to take it, or else I'll just be "Diana's little sister who's always to innocent to do anything". And I hate it when people look at me like that, when I'm actually pretty daring myself.

It took me some time to think because what I'm dealing here is no joke. If say Truth I know that would prove that I'm not strong enough, but if I chose Dare I have no idea what these people might make me do. So at last I made a decision.

"Dare" I said making a proud face, so that it actually looks real.

I took a glimpse of everyone's faces and most of them were just surprise.

"Kiss Miller" said Abby out of the blue. Danny who was already sleeping from all that drink suddenly popped up and chime in, "Yeah kiss Miller! Lips to lips."

I don't know if it's just me, but I felt a sudden of heat rushing inside my body, probably from being really embarrassed. 

Josh, Josh Miller was my third grade crush, but him being the same year as my sister so basically  he was in fifth grade. Josh was the first real crush I ever had, of course I liked some guys before but that was just from my imagination. I liked him for over two years, and each time we see each other my feeling was just getting intense day by day. Until, it middle school came, Alice told me that Josh started dating this girl name Tina, who is OBVIOUSLY prettier than me. So after knowing that I stopped liking him and move on with my life.

I guess I was thinking too long when Diana elbowed me, "you don't have to do it, you know."

I looked at her face worried, because she knew I never actually kissed anyone before, and she knew I was nervous. I took a glimpse at Josh who was looking at me. Just then it made me remember all the thoughts and hopes I had when I was still in to him. I mean, of course I want to,  this was what all I wanted and who would let it slip away? And before I knew it, I was kneeling already, I leaned my body towards him and kiss him right in his lips. It was new, new good not new bad. I froze not knowing what to do, so I just pull my self back. Without knowing what I did, I  quickly examine everybody's faces, and most of them were 'Ooing' while Diana and Alice were still surprise. I look at Josh and his face were the same, of course he wouldn't feel anything, he probably kissed so many girls already, that kissing me was a no big deal for him. But it was for me. His lips are just as I imagine it to be, soft and tender, cold but has that feeling of comfort.
