Umm, so yeah, I'm writing this pairing finally, so uh, enjoy I guess?

Jared's POV

I glared at Evan, in a shocking turn of events, he was the one smirking. "You like her~" he commented and my glare narrowed while my face heated up. So maybe I had a crush! What was their problem? They being Connor and Evan, Connor's crush Michael and Michael's friend, Jeremy.

"I do not," I stated, pouting. Evan just let out a wolf whistle. I refrained from slapping him. Evan looked at the others gathered and he and Connor locked eyes as they shared the same idea.

"How about we play a game?" Connor suggested, sitting down on Evan's floor while his mother was making us something to eat. Evan followed suit. And then Jeremy and Michael joined them, leaving me the only one standing.

"C'mon Jared," said Evan. I sighed and plopped down. What were they planning? The four others shared gazes, but once Michael and Connor's met, the latter turned away quickly, leaving me and Evan to giggle. "We're playing truth and dare~!" He sang and I froze.

He did this on purpose didn't he?

So I could confess to my crush on Alana?

The b*st*rd.

They're all in on this aren't they?

"Uh, Jared? You okay dude?" I shook myself and nodded, before frowning. Jeremy gave a curt nod. "I'll go first."

"Okay then," Michael answered. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth?" Jeremy suggested. Michael laughed.

"Do you purposely make us lose Level Nine?" The way Michael said 'level nine' sounded like it was important to him. Jeremy looked offended, but the expression disappeared when he realized it was all in good fun.

"I don't. It's just a hard level." Evan was next to Jeremy so it was him next. I decided to be the question giver.

"Evan, truth or dare?" Evan looked at me.

"Truth?"

"What is your most embarrassing secret?" Evan blushed scarlet and he hid his face in his hands.

"I have written fan fiction of my friends before..." he said quietly, slowly growing more red. Connor also blushed and looked guilty. Wait a minute.... Evan had written fanfiction? Why did Connor also blush? Was he an accomplice? "About... Jared and Alana..." I legit choked and felt my own blush form. This caused Jeremy and Michael to look questioningly at me, before Michael smirked. He whispered something in Connor's ear, which made him nod, Connor then smirked himself.

"Anyway, Connor, truth or dare?" Jeremy asked him. Connor blinked.

"Dare?" Jeremy smirked widely, almost like a smirk I would have, speaking of which, I felt the smile forming.

"Hm, okay then. Kiss Michael, right here, right now." Connor blinked again and turned bright red. He and Michael shared a glance and I saw that Michael had also turned red. Connor gave him a quick peck on the cheek and then buried his face. Jeremy turned toward Michael. "Michael, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you...." Jeremy's next words were whispered but judging by Michael's smirk... he got out his phone and started texting someone.

"Ah, Jared," said Connor. "Truth or dare?" His eyes were narrow and he was smirking. I felt myself blush, but I remained calm.

"Truth," I said, feeling confident.

"Do you have a crush on Alana?" My expression changed to one of horror.

They totally planned this.

I'm pretty f**king much cornered.

I don't think there's anyway out of this...

Maybe if I remain silent...

I heard the door open. "Michael, Chris said you wanted us to come over?" Evan brightened and went up to hug his girlfriend. Of course Christine would know Zoe, she was in the school play.

"Oh hey guys!" I blushed, I knew that voice. Alana walked up and hugged everyone, hesitating when she got to me. "Hey, Jared." She eventually put her arms around me. Zoe was talking to Evan.

"Seriously, I don't get it, why can't they just kiss already?" Evan laughed at this.

"For one, Jared is completely hopeless. Second, I don't honestly know, it's almost like he completely loses his ability to be smooth around her." I pouted and blushed. Alana was still hugging me, how long had it been, 5 minutes?

"Uh, 'Lana," I coughed. Alana blushed and removed her arms.

"Oh sorry."

"It's fine, I'm fine," I chuckled. Alana blinked.

"Well, okay then." Our faces were so close.

When we didn't kiss, our friends all collectively facepalmed.
