Dare to Love

Dare

What?
Ridhik?
No!?

I could eat a spoonful of hot sauce or grass.(Yes I have done that before)

But KISS Ridhik?
Oh no no no

Its not that Ridhik is not good looking, or he smells or he has bad breath, no that's not why I don't want to kiss him.

I actually had a huge crush on him during my middle school, but because of a specific incident,  I got over him.
And now we are actually real good friends, as we are aloted in the same class, are part of the same friends circle.

I don't want to destroy this memory and friendship over a dare.

I mean a kiss does change people, you know.

Now you ask how, I'll tell you.
Do you know the acronym of kiss
K- keep
I - it
S - simple,
S- stupid
Kiss- Keep it simple, stupid

So if I'll kiss him, it won't be simple between Ridhik and me, it will be chaotic, I won't be myself after kissing him.

Frankly speaking I believe, the kiss might reignite the suppressed crush.
And we know that once the crush is out I will have a very hard time surviving my final year in school.
And I definitely don't want that.

I want to pass this year with minimum problems and maximum  planned possibilities for better future.
Yes you heard that right, I have a plan to achieve and I am going to follow through it.

Let's come to the scene,

Us friends sitting in the empty classroom, playing truth and dare(no truth just dare), you can call it coincidence or bad luck the bottle pointed at me and I having no choice, chose to do a dare.

Vansh my BFAM ( brother from another mother ) gets  the golden opportunity which he snagged from Eva to give me a dare. ( I think he is been waiting for this opportunity since the beginning of the game)
Come to think of it now, he was the one who came up with idea to play this game.
So he gave me a dare to count till 10 and turn around and look out of the window to the corridor. Whomever I find I'd have to kiss them on the lips, beat it boy/girl.

I was fine with it because

1. It was Saturday
( Only a few number of students had actually come to school that day)
It means no one's around

2. It was the last period going on.
( Everybody would be inside the class or in ground practicing for Sports Day)
It means no one's around

So I very conveniently accepted the dare, believing nobody will be loitering around the corridor. Confidently I went over to the windows, nobody was there, eyes closed completed counting till 10 and turned around and to my utter astonishment I saw Ridhik.
I saw freaking RIDHIK !!!!
He was walking in the corridor.
OH MY GOD!!!

The devastatingly handsome person,
Head boy of school,
State level Table Tennis Player,
National level award winning artist,
Heartthrob of our school,
Sexy as sin body,
such sweet, caring and charming personality.
It was obvious anybody (actually everybody) could fall for him.
Likely to say not could, have fallen a lot.
All girls(/guys/teachers) wanted him.

And here I am, nothing (not even an ant) in front of him was dared to kiss him.

Well I Dare not do
"that"
Because if it does happen,
Oh! It would mean WAR.

I looked back at my friends, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
I felt like running away to the hills.
Seriously! If only possible, if only.
I shook my head pointing disapproval of completing this life endangering act.
They all nodded.
(Like if you ask a 5 year old Would they like to have Ice cream)
I stifly shook my head.
They blew kisses to me
Ugh!!!! 

Kill me.!!

How could I complete this dare, if it were a peck on the cheek well we can understand but a kiss.
A kiss.
No no no no
"No"
I said firmly

Vansh looked at me and smirked that a*** hole brother of mine had something  planned like this,  thing like this ( where I am being driven crazy) game plan tactics.
I believe for a very long time.

He shifted in his seat, sat straight right up and spoke.
"Fine ,
If you don't want to complete the dare, then don't."
He smirked at me
"I'll just let you all know Arushi's secret, oh also her crush"
He completed his words, not even vincing but enjoying, even better after seeing my astonished expression.

"What?"
Everybody shouted

I glared at Vansh, what the hell man. I don't think he will do it.
I mean he won't/can't do it.
(But the familiar gleam in his eyes said a different story)

"No"
I said once again.

"Ok, if you'll not kiss Ridhik on the lips, then I'll just have no choice but to tell them your Itsy bitsy crush of yours, oh also that secret of years, which you said will go with you to the grave"
Vansh remarked

How could he?
Ugh!
"F*** you!"
I mouthed him

"Pay back's a bitch"
Vansh mouthed back

What payback?
Why? You might be thinking.
I believe it is cake pile of junk he has been counting, which I've put him through.
Actually, don't take me wrong
I accidentally poured water over his 'oh so precious' notes, made his parents aware about his night outings (without permission, I was not allowed to go, so why should he enjoy alone, we had pledged to suffer together) and share his feelings to his crush also to top it of (with cherry) sharing a montage of his awkward, hideous and funny pictures on instagram for his birthday ( I mean that was normal, right?)
Not much to go about now. But is it so bad to let me go through this horrible, crazy, life numbing act.

How could he do this to me? (well statistically speaking, only he could do this to me)

"So, are you ready to liplock with Ridhik?"
Vansh asked again.

Everybody smirked at me,
Could this day get any better.

"Fine,
Fine!
I'm going!"
I said and turned around and walked out of the class.
