Just Because I Met You

Chapter 21

"Would you rather be ugly, have an ass like Kim, and be smart as hell or be drop dead gorgeous, be shaped like a toothpick, and be dumb as hell?" Dylan asked Jaycee.

We were playing Would You Rather and it was funny as hell.

Jaycee contemplated, and shook her head, "Those are really bad combinations."

I laugh, "That's the point!" "Gosh, I think I'd be ugly, have an ass like Kim, and be smart. I don't want to be dumb and not have a body..Plus, it's not all about the looks." She stated.

Jared grabbed her, "It plays a big role, though! But I'd make an exception for you, because you're personality is absolutely amazing." Jaycee leans in and kisses him. I roll my eyes looking away from the scene. I was annoyed, how do you almost kiss her best friend then talk extra sweet to her like it never happened? I honestly been kind of tense from Dylan due to the fact that I feel bad. It didn't happen, although we were pretty damn close.

"Okay!" Jaycee yelled. "Ari, would you rather.....Cheat on the SAT's and get caught or Cheat on Dylan and get caught?" Jared started choking on the can of Coke that he started drinking out of while she asked me the question.
How awkward is that question.

Jayc and Dyl looked at Jared funny and he cleared his throat, "Uh, um..that'd suck if you got caught cheating on SAT's. You wouldn't be able to graduate. But that'd also suck if you got caught uh cheating on Dylan. You lost your boyfriend and best friend.." He said trying to cover up his uneasiness.
Way to go Jared. Either way it goes, i'd be fucked.

They averted their attention back to me, and I smiled halfheartedly, "As bad as this might sound...cheat on my SAT's. I gotta graduate.."

Dylan nodded, "I'd do the same to be honest. Education first!"

"What?" Jaycee, Jared, and I exclaimed at the same time.
Never have I ever heard Dylan put education first.
Drink.

He shrugged, "Seriously. What'd you do?"

"Cheat on my SAT's. I'd be damned to lose Jared. I like him way too much now.." Jaycee said matter-of-factly. Jared rose his eyebrows. I guess he was taken back.

Just like we were.

"Next question! My go!" I yell over the tension. "I don't know what to really ask, but would you rather kiss and tell or kiss and bail, Jared?"

He looked up, face turning lightly pink.
Yeah, doesn't feel that good does it?

"Kiss and tell. I don't got time to be bailing. I could be losing an opportunity with an amazing, beautiful girl if I bailed." He answered confidently.

Jaycee smiled, "Good answer."
Damn it.

"Nice try." Jared mouths to me while no one was paying attention. I flipped him the bird, defeated.

Monday was here and in full affect. The first prank started off this morning. I go to pour me some soda, and ask Jared to hand me the ice tray. Every piece of ice had a frozen bug in them. I screamed on the top of my lungs when I seen them, and Jared laughed his ass off.
