"Caitlin, truth or dare?" Marissa asked. 
"Dare," I answered without hesitation. 
"Ohhhh you're gonna hate this so much," she said laughing. 
"What..."
She laughed for what felt like another five minutes before answering,
"You have to kiss the person to your right for two minutes,"
"What!" I demanded.
"What..." Adam asked, clearly not that disappointed. I punched his arm.
Adam's eyes flickered a deep shade of blue as he looked over to me, his jaw clenched and his cheeks tinted pink. I looked at him completely startled.
I did not want to kiss him!
"You can't back out of this one!" Charlotte says with a wink. 
~~~~~
Caitlin has always been close with her older brother Dane's best friends- they were all like her second brothers. Little did she know that one night with one harmless game of truth or dare could change everything. Including how she felt about her brother's closest friend, Adam - and maybe not for the better.

Aaron is a boy with a long history with Caitlin. No longer friends, Caitlin doesn't want to remember him. When he sends her a text one day asking her to the dance, it changes everything, forcing her to face their falling out head on. Does she take the chance with Aaron to see if there could be a relationship inside that lost friendship?  Or does she choose Adam, putting her heart at risk?

Follow Caitlin and her friends on her journey to take a chance and follow her heart for the ultimate reward- love.

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders.

64 Pack of Juniper by novellacinderella
8 parts Ongoing Mature
After three weeks of her high school sweetheart strangely acting like the biggest asshole towards her, Juniper's boyfriend breaks up with her and seemingly that's the end of that. Embarrassed, heart broken, and unsure what to do, Juniper says nothing to her friends about the breakup, not three days later when Abel makes it official by dropping off everything she ever gave him, and not two days after that when they're forced into each other's proximity for their friend group's weekly game night. Strangely enough, Juniper finds out that Abel has ALSO not said anything to his friends about the breakup. The biggest reason? Abel's best friend just so happens to also be Juniper's big brother. What would Hayden do once he found out about their breakup? Would he and Abel still be friends? Would Juniper WANT them to still be friends? They'd been friends twice as long as Juniper and Abel had dated. Hayden would drop Abel in a heartbeat for his sister, but he would be just as heartbroken as her. She didn't want that. But she didn't want to be stuck seeing Abel all the time after what he'd said to her either. Juniper agreed to not tell Hayden about their breakup until they were both ready. But that meant, they'd have to still act like a couple- like the couple they were before- in order for Hayden not to find out. As the 'pretending' goes on, and neither one of them seems closer to being 'ready', both Juniper and Abel start to wonder if Hayden is the only reason the other person won't let go.
