"Are you sure?" He asks me.
"Positive," I state.
"This is a pretty disgusting dare," it is, but I don't really care, I'm pretty sure I've done much worse.
"Well, I don't care. When there's a challenge I'll accept it, no matter how bad or disgusting it is."
"So if I dared you to kiss me, would you?"
Cody then says the words that I have been dreading and praying that he won't say. Slowly and painfully.
"I. Dare. You.
Kacey is what every girl wants to be. She's funny, popular, gets all the guys, she's sarcastic, good at singing, she's not the worst at sport, she's smart and she's a badass.
Cody is a badboy that's starting at Kacey's school.
When Cody arrives at the new school, all the girls are already over him. He's everything you expect a badboy cliche to be. All the guys want to be him and all the boys are jealous of him. He's a badass, became popular in an instant, cocky, jerk, arrogant, egotistical, rude, he's amazing at sports and he's pretty hot. Oh, and he's also hilarious.
When the two fight for dominance at the school it becomes a war zone, even the teachers are into this battle. The two pull pranks, argue in the hallways, give each other dares and annoy the hell out of each other.
But what happens when one dare can change how they feel about each other?

I glare at him, "Ooh you are so!"
He looks at me amusingly, "So what?"
"So!"
He brings his face closer to mine, "Say what you want to say." His voice was low as he stared into my eyes. I was suddenly mute, completely drawn into those warm brown eyes. I don't know why I did, but I leaned into him. Our lips finally colliding. His arms pull my body closer to his as he kisses me hungrily.
