I pulled Jamie away from me and looked into her eyes. “We’re going to transform you into a girl no boy could possibly resist.” “Like Mission Sexy?” Jamie asked, looking puzzled. “Exactly!” I told her. “Mission drop-dead gorgeous, sexy and totally boy-licious!” “That’s a bit of a long name,” Jamie said, screwing up her nose. “Can we just call it Mission Sexy?” Jamie Black has her heart set on dating her school's old heart throb, Darren Gold.

That is, until the police show up and she's dragged away. *** "Dare me to do it Roxi! Dare me to do it!" He shouts as I shake my head. "Kai, please just let go and come talk."

I say as I grab his hand. "I dare you Kai, I dare you to drop it and come with me." He looks down sadly before looking up as tears burn his cheeks. "A dare is a dare." He replies as I nod and hold his hand in mine. "And I dare you to not do it."Complete
