"I have this..proposition for you," he speaks, his hot breath tingling in my ears. My eyes narrow as I cross my arms. "And what might that be?" I search his eyes for any possible hint in them.
"Well," he chuckles, "every week, when the lunch bell rings, I get to ask you a simple question. Tell me Scarlet, have you ever heard of Truth or Dare?" I snort so loudly, a couple of kids walking pass stop in their tracks. "Dude, this is the twenty-first century. Everyone has," my eyes do a one-eighty roll.
Nic glares at me and clears his throat before adding, "Very well. As I was saying, I will ask you to choose one option. If you choose truth, you have to answer my questions truthfully. And if you choose dare, -" "Yeah, yeah. I know the rules. I have to do anything you say. How long will this go on for?"
He smirks and adds, "As long as I say. Unless of course, you don't want a fake boyfriend?" "No!" I shout little too loudly. "No, I do."
Nic turns on his heel and starts walking away before shouting back to me, "Pleasure doing business with you! And remember," he turns around to wink, "choose wisely."

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, beach bodies, and school spirit above all else. She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself.
So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.
