it started with a dare (COMPLETED)

21) 7 minutes in hell

Ahh, shit. 

***

"Let's play a game," Aubrey says. 

Here I am. At Aubrey Smith's house. 

I don't know how I let Addalyn and Ethan drag me here. Ember had to go somewhere which was code for she had another guy to fool around with. 

"What game?" Sasha asks. She was now with Colby who decided to stay with her. I seriously hope they get married. Sasha might be sassy and a little mean but I hope she stays with Colby. Not gonna lie, they're adorable together. 

"7 minutes in heaven?" David suggests and everyone agrees. "I have the names organized and everything," Aubrey said and got 2 small cute buckets. One was pink and I'm guessing the girl's names were in that one and the blue bucket obviously had the boy's names. 

"Ok let's see who's first," Aubrey says and picks one slip of paper from each bucket. "Sasha and Colby," she announces. "Bruh that one was lucky," everyone claims, and the couple just grins at each other and start making out. 

"IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN A ROOM FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Rylan gags and the couple go in the closet nearby. "Gross we can hear them moan," I murmur and wrinkle my nose. "Yeah, shit's definitly happening," Rylan agrees. 

David just looks at me, amused.

"Ok, it's been 15 minutes now. Y'all can come back now," Aubrey hollers to Sasha and Colby. 

They both come out of the closet 2 minutes later, mad at Aubrey for ruining their fun. 

"I'll pick the next one," Sasha declares and picks a name from each bucket. "Ok, David and... ooh Zoe," she says, cheerfully and sits back down with Colby. 

Oh, no. 

"Sweet," David smirks and leads me to the closet. 

"I'm not gonna try anything on you," David says once we get locked in there. "I just have to tell you something," he adds looking at my unsure face. 

I have really bad trust issues. 

"Tell me," I say, dryly. "It's about Luca. Can't you see? He is only using you because of a dare. All the things you guys did together was only for a dare. The whole reason he's tutoring you is because of a dare. He knows your bad at math and he's using it as an advantage. He's playing with your heart," David says. 

"Leave him," he adds. 

I let the words sink in. 

No. 

Luca Martinez would not do that. 

Only I would do something like that. 

ME?! 

"I don't believe you," I manage to say a few seconds later. "Then wouldn't you find it odd that he started talking to you all of a sudden?" David questions. "Tutoring," I point out. "Because of the fucking dare," he says, flatly. 

"He has no interest being with you like I do. He doesn't like you really. No. He's doing it to complete the dare. I really do like you," he says. 

"Well here's a news flash. I got dared to make him ask me out so there! That's that" I shout at David for no reason and open the closet door. 

Good thing it wasn't locked anymore. 

Oh, no. 

Everyone was just looking at me, urging me to tell them what the shouting was about. "I need air," I state, flatly and Addalyn runs after me. 

"Wanna talk," she says, catching up to me. "I need air," I repeat and get outside before the tears spill. 

One tear spills out. Another one. And boom I got the waterworks fired up. 

"What did he say? I am gonna kill him!" Ethan comes rushing out. He was on his phone the whole time- uninterested in what was going on. 

I guess he noticed when I rushed out. 

I tried to explain what David was telling me and all but I gave up. 

"It's going to be ok," Addalyn keeps telling me. "It's... gonna... be... a... fucking... panic attack," I say in between breaths. "Let me go find my keys and we can go," Addalyn says and heads back inside Aubrey's house. "Once you calm down you better fucking tell me what he said," Ethan says as his phone rings. 

He looks to see who it was. 

Josh. 

"Hey babe, can't talk now. My bitch has a problem and I need to be with her," Ethan says and hangs up. 

God, I love him. 

"Zo? You ok," Luca says from behind me. "Bye, Luca," I reply, sternly. "If it's about yu crying it's fine. I've seen you cry so many times," he says. "Bye, Luca," I say, sternly again. 

"Zo-" he says but I cut him off. 

"The dare. You got dared to play with my feelings and I got dared the same. I know I suck at math but those 2 cancel out. Good job, Luca. I guess you won," I say, and immediately wish I never said that. 

I just let Luca Martinez know that I like him. 

I just told him that I like him. 

Wow, Zoe Miller. You officially suck. 

"Zoe," he says sternly. 

"Ok, I've had enough. You hurt my baby! Leave her the fuck alone. She's been through a lot with that Rayan bitch, ok? Leave. Her. Alone," Ethan finally cuts in. 

Wish he said that a few seconds sooner before I said the worst thing ever. 

"Ok, got the keys and-" Addalyn stops talking when she sees Luca. 

"Bye, Luca," she says, flatly and we walk to her car. 

I glance over at Luca real quick and he's giving me a... hurt look. 

You're lucky you won.
