it started with a dare (COMPLETED)

35) we're all in this together!

Ahaha, enjoy your childhood in that video!

"So, we're going to blackmail David?" Addalyn looks highly unsure of what she's doing a the moment. "Yes! He's doing way worse shit than Luca and it's not fair!" I defend Luca. "I was never saying Luca was being bad or something," Addalyn said. "I'm up for it," Ember said. 

Apparently she knew Rylan and Luca were friends. So far, the 2 of them are doing good, barely even looking at the each other. I'm surprised! 

"Me too," Ethan agrees. 

Soon everyone agrees to the idea: Luca, me, Ember, Ethan, Eli, Rylan, and Addalyn finally gave in. 

"Great, now let's go deep into the idea now that you're all on board," Luca said and we all made a toast to "giving David a taste of his own medicine," 

"Cheers!" we linked beer cans and drank.

Saturday evening: 

"Ugh, this is a terrible plan," I complained to Luca. "Well, we can't be together if we don't do it," Luca gives me a sad look. "What about being together in secret," I pout. "We all know the secret gets eventually out," he gives me a get-serious-look. "Fine," I groan and make my way to David. 

Luca told us he knew that David was going to make some illegal drug deal tonight at the teen bar place I was at with Zeke on Sunday. 

Damn, that felt so long ago but it was only 2 weeks. 

"Hey!" I made my way to David. He looked surprised to see me. "Hey?" he said and took a sip of his beer. "Can I get a beer?" I ask the bartender and wink at him. 

He was cute but my type is Luca Nixon Martinez. 

I take the beer from the bartender and he sneaks me a piece of paper. "Sorry, bud but she's mine," David says and the bartender just rolls his eyes and goes to serve a group of girls. "What are you doing here?" David asks me after a few seconds. "I came here to get away from Addalyn. She was being so annoying," I chuckle. 

Addalyn's probably watching us with Ethan or Ember. 

"What about you?" I ask, sweetly. "To chill," David says and looks around. He's probably looking for the drug dealer dude. 

"I'll be right back," he says and leaves me alone. 

I feel my phone vibrate and check to see who it was. 

Luca~ he's the one with the drugs. be careful if he hands you anything.

Zoe~ ok, thanks. 

Luca~ be safe

Zoe~ ok, dad 

Luca~ I'm serious. dangerous shit goes around here

Zoe~ ok, you be safe too. 

Zoe~ gotta go

I get off my phone to see David come back. "What happened?" I ask, casually, and take a sip of my beer. "I thought I saw a friend," he said, glancing around the room again. 

David and I dance a little and his phone vibrates and he says he has to go. "I'll be here," I tell him and he nods. 

I look around the place and see Ember and Ethan arguing over the camera. 

"Good job, babe," Luca says. "You're out in the open. He could see you," I remind Luca. "Come with me, we have to go," Luca takes my hand and leads us somewhere. 

Probably some secret exit or entrance to something. 

"There you are! Did he tell you anything?" Addalyn rushed over to me. The whole crew was here. We were hiding behind some big rocks. "It should be happening here," Luca murmured. 

"He told me I looked hot," I said, smiling at Luca. He just rolled his eyes. 

"Ember and Ethan? One of you film from there," Luca says and hangs up. "Rylan, text me something if you see any sign of David heading out here," Luca said and hung up. 

"Was your deal as bad as this?" I ask worried Luca might get in some bad shit. "No, at least mine was legal," he scoffed and I exchanged a worried look with Addalyn. 

Luca's phone vibrated. It was a text from Rylan, saying David and some guy were heading toward here. "Text Ember to start filming once David's in clear view," Luca whispered to me. 

I pulled out my phone and texted Ember. 

***

10 minutes later, David was in clear view and he was talking pretty loudly. "Ok, how much do you want?" he asked the guy. The guy was mumbling though so I couldn't hear. "65 bucks," David said, clearly. "What the fuck?" Luca whispered and I shushed him with a look.

"I don't care if that's a lot for a fucking gram! This is illegal shit, it's hard to get. You want it or not?" David replied, angry. 

"Fine," the guy said, pulling out a wad of cash and the 2 did an exchange- drug for money. 

"See you in a few weeks," David said and the two of them disappeared.

"We got the video! The fool was talking to fucking loud," Ember cheered and handed Luca the camera. "Great job!" Rylan said to her and she blushed. No one noticed. 

We were all so happy. 

Everyone here hated David- Ethan hated him for stealing his pencils. Ember hated him for just being him. Addalyn hated him for coming in between me and Luca. Rylan hated him for being a dick to Luca. Eli hated him because David always tried to cut Eli from the friend group. 

I hated him for so many things. He sexualized girls a lot. He blackmailed Luca! 

Oh yeah, Luca hated him since the day he heard him talk about getting in bed with me. 

 I feel special.

"What are we gonna do with this video?" I asked Luca once we were all finished cheering. "First of all, we need to get out of here," Luca said and we all realized we were still at the weird place behind the bar. 

"Second of all, I'll email it to Mrs. Hoskins, anonymously. He is definitely going to get expelled," Luca grinned. "Oh yeah, she said if she caught one more student doing this kinda shit, they'll be in huge shit," Eli grinned. 

We all laughed, imagining all the consequences David will get once the video is sent to Mrs. Hoskins while walking to where we parked.

"I could go for a celebratory pizza!" Ethan suggested once we piled in my car. I was driving, Addalyn, Ember, and Ethan. Luca was driving Rylan and Eli. 

"Let me call Luca," I said once we all moaned about how good a pizza sounded. 

"He said yeah," I grinned and turned up the radio and we all sang along to Ariana Grande while I drove us to the nearest Domino's.
