"Alright, I'll go first." Kent said grinning at me. "Ash, truth or dare?"

Feeling brave I said confidently "Dare." But instantly regretted my decision as Kent's grin widened.

"I dare you to do that dance for us that you do in your room while blasting music at top volume when you think no one is home."

"Come on Kent, even you are not that mean." I pouted. He laughed proving my earlier statement wrong.

"Just do it already, I'm dying to see it." Brittney wined.

"Please no, no one has ever seen it before except apparently Kent but that does not count, I didn't realize he was home let alone watching me." I begged.

"Nope you have to do it."

"Please?"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Ye-."

"Oh just get it over with." Bryan interrupted me.

"Fine, but no one is allowed to film it." I gave in and went up to my room to grab my speaker.

I slowly brought out my speaker, complaining the whole time that I took to set it up. Finally, when there is nothing else I can use to stall I put on the song Party in the USA by Milly Cirus and started to dance. I could feel their gazes on me as I swayed my hips and turned, but for some reason, I wasn't that nervous. That is, until I heard a camera flash and realized that Brittney is snapping pictures while Bella is recording.

I closed my eyes and finished the dance but as soon as the music stopped, I ran over and tackled Bella and grabbed her phone. I quickly send the video to myself before deleting it all from her phone, before turning to where Kent and Bryan are still just sitting there staring at me.

"Was I that bad?" I asked cringing.

Kent leaped up and hugged me.

"Ash, you could perform that! My little Ashypo is growing up so fast." He said using the nickname he gave me when we were kids and pretending to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand. I looked up to see Bryan still staring at me and quickly looked away, blushing.

"You were so good! Wasn't she Bryan?" Brittney asked slyly.

"Um yeah, I guess." Bryan was obviously trying to sound nonchalant, while hiding his blush by looking away.

"Enough sappy stuff, let's just get back to the game." Kent interrupted, going into full on protective brother mode and glaring daggers at Bryan.

"Yeah, can we just finish the game? Or better yet, forget the game and watch a movie?" I added hopefully.

"Nope, we are so finishing the game." Brittney said.

"Alright then, Brittney, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Um, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm picking truth." Brittney said surprising Bella and I. Brittney ALWAYS picked dare.

"Fine, do you or do you not like Kent." I said smirking as both Kent and Brittney are at a loss for words.

"Ash, that's mean. Can I just whisper it to you please?" She begged.

"Okay, but I am so telling Bella." I agreed.

She leaned in and whispers to me so quickly I can barely make out what she's saying.

"I do like Kent and I have since we were 10." Then she quickly straightened up. Bella gave me a look that clearly said, 'you are going to tell me everything later and I expect it to be word for word'.

"My turn! Bryan, truth or dare?" Brittney asked brightly grinning and I know from the moment the words leave her mouth I am not going to like what happens.

"Dare." Bryan said looking bored.

"I dare you to kiss Ash." Brittney announced and everyone froze.

"What are you doing?" I muttered to Brittney. "Please, please, please take back the dare. I promise to buy you an extra big chocolate bar." I tried to bargain. Brittney almost never said no to chocolate and as the amazing friend that I was, I used it against her whenever I wanted something.

"Nope, you are not getting out of this!! Do you have any idea how long I have been waiting to find the right boy to dare to kiss you?"

"Brit, exactly how long have you been planning this?" I asked using the name she wanted to be called in kindergarten but now hates.

"Since the beginning of last year."

"Can we just get this over with?" Bryan interrupted our glaring match.

As I turned to him, he leaned forward and in seconds, his lips crashed over mine.
