Texting my enemy

Chapter 1: Dare

**Baby Means My Puppies**

Emily's POV

Beep! Beep! Ugh, this annoying alarm and the sunlight! Why didn't I close the window? If it wasn't that, then suddenly my puppies start licking my face. Yes, my babies mean my puppies.

Aww, aren't they just cute?

"Morning, my babies! Did you sleep well?" I say, and they start wagging their tails in excitement.

"Okay, let me freshen up." As I do, they start playing with each other. While I get ready, let me introduce myself. Hi, my name is Emily Johnson. I'm 17 years old, and I love reading books. I have dark brown eyes, which I adore, and black hair. My puppies are named Ollie and Mollie.

Now, back to business — I need to get ready for school.

When I go downstairs, I see my mom preparing breakfast. She always makes breakfast when she’s home, as my parents travel a lot. Dad is reading the newspaper — typical, right?

"Morning, Mom, Dad!" I call out.

"Morning, honey!" says Mom and Dad in unison.

"Honey, do you know where Xavier is?" asks my mom.

"Mom, you know he’s always late," I reply.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Xavier shouts from upstairs.

"As always," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Don’t shout in the house, Xavier, and stop rolling your eyes, Emily," Mom scolds us both.

"Sorry," we both reply.

"Morning, Mom! Morning, Dad! Morning, sis!" says Xavier as he joins us.

"Morning," we respond simultaneously.

We quietly finish breakfast.

"Come on," my brother says to me, and we drive to school in Xavier’s car since I don’t have my license yet.

"See you, sis!" "See ya!" We part ways for our classes.

"Emily!" shouts a familiar voice. I don’t need to turn around to know it's my super-hyper best friend, Chloe. As she approaches me, she says, "Did you hear? Lilith was chosen for cheerleader again!"

"Well, hello to you too, Chloe. If you’ve already finished your school gossip, let’s go — we have class," I reply, and she nods.

As we head to our lockers, our whole friend group is waiting for us.

"Hey, guys!" we greet each other, then we start discussing the sleepover we always have at Austin’s house — on Saturdays.

"No, guys, I am not going!" I say firmly.

"Because, firstly, today is not Saturday; it’s Tuesday, and I have a lot of homework left," I explain.

"But please, you can do your homework tomorrow," Rose pleads.

"No," I respond.

"Please, Emily!" Austin and Chloe beg together, giving me puppy eyes.

"Argh! Don't show me those eyes! You know I can't say no to puppy eyes!" I exclaim after seeing how cute they are.

"So?" Rose asks impatiently.

"Yes, we will have a sleepover tonight. Now are you happy? Let’s go!" I say to them.

"Yes!" they cheer, and then we start discussing what we’re going to do tonight.

"So, I was saying we should..." Rose begins but suddenly stops.

"Rose! Are you there?" I ask, but she stares ahead with dreamy eyes. When we look forward to seeing what has captivated her, we realise why our loud friend got distracted. The most popular boys are there: Damon, Chloe's arrogant brother, Taylor, my brother Xavier, who has caught Rose's attention, and the couple, Blake and Lily. As they head to their lockers, they stop when Chloe shouts for Damon to wait, and we exchange questioning looks.

"Brother, you’re going home alone today because we’re having a sleepover at Austin’s," Chloe says.

"Okay," he replies and walks to his class.

"Hey, guys!" Lily says cheerfully.

"Hey," we reply, and she goes over to Blake, who is waiting patiently.

Then Xavier says, "I guess you’re not coming, then?"

"Yup, and please bring my sleepover bag," I say.

"Okay, but your sleepover is always on Saturday. Why tonight?" he asks curiously.

"I don't know; they planned it," I reply.

"Okay," he says, leaving to catch up with his friends. Then the warning bell rings, and we rush to our respective classes.

My first period is one of my favourites: Algebra. I know, who likes math? But I love it! The last subject is Science, and I’m sure I’ll fall asleep. Thankfully, the bell rings, and I’m grateful — otherwise, I might have dozed off.

As we head to Austin's car, we drive there together. Fortunately, today Austin's parents have to leave for a business trip right after we arrive and wish us a safe drive.

"Guys, I'm going to take a nap," I state because I’m honestly very tired.

"Okay," they reply, then return to their work.

"Emilyyyy!" shouts Austin from downstairs.

"What?" I ask.

"Come downstairs; we’re going to play!" says Chloe.

"Okay!" I respond and go freshen up. I see my sleepover bag is there, so that means Xavier dropped it off. I change into my PJs before heading downstairs.

When I reach the bottom, I hear, "So, Sleeping Beauty finally woke up," from Rose. I roll my eyes at them, and they laugh. I decide to tease Rose for making fun of me and smirk at the idea.

"Oh no," Austin mumbles when he sees me smirking, throwing him a silent warning to keep quiet.

"So, Rose, who dropped..."

"So, Rose, who dropped my sleepover bag, do you know?" I asked innocently.

"Uh-uh," said Rose, blushing and stuttering.

"What, it's Xavier, right? Why are you stuttering?" I asked, pretending to be innocent.

"Shut up," said Rose, annoyed, and we both laughed because only Xavier's name could stop her non-stop talking. Then we started playing games. First, we played "Never Have I Ever," but when we got bored, we decided to switch it up and play "Dare and Ultimate Dare."

We grabbed a bottle and spun it. It landed on Auston, and he chose Ultimate Dare.

"Okay, Auston, it's very easy; you just have to wax your leg hair," Chloe said to him.

"Oohhh," we cheered as Auston grumbled about how he would take revenge on us. He got the waxing cream, handed it to us, and said, "Do it fast."

As Chloe applied the wax, he let out a girly scream.

"Oh my gosh, I am never going to do this again in my life," said Auston, and we all laughed.

Then we resumed playing, and the bottle stopped in front of me. Rose asked what I would choose, and I replied, "Ultimate Dare." I thought it wouldn’t be too bad, but I was very wrong.

Rose's POV

As the bottle spun and landed on Emily, I had the perfect dare for her. I knew she teased me about Xavier, and now I could get my revenge. I asked her what she would choose, and she picked Ultimate Dare—perfect.

"So, Emily, you have to take your phone, message this number: ****568****, and write, 'I wanna moan your name.'" I smirked, knowing her reaction would be worth it.
