Cece's POV

I wrapped a blanket around my body to keep myself from shivering.

It felt nice sitting around the toasty bonfire in the chill of the night.

I was camping in the woods with my Mom, Flynn, Rocky, Ty, Deuce, Gunther, and Tinka.

It made me happy to be spending all this quality time with my closest friends and family.

And yes, I know what you're all thinking—Gunther and Tinka? Hah, those freaks!

They used to love annoying Rocky and I, and they even thought their daily thirty pounds of glitter was stylish.

But the thing is, that was in middle school. We're all sophomores in high school now except for Ty, and they had stopped wearing such flashy outfits already.

Well, Tinka still wore a few sparkly items of clothing, but Gunther stopped completely.

I had to admit, with the help of Ty, Gunther's wardrobe had really improved. He actually looked kind of… nice. Yuck, what was I saying?

Anyways, now that their daily ritual wasn't to annoy the heck out of us, we had become really good friends. Ty and Tinka had even started dating.

We started toasting marshmallows and telling creepy ghost stories.

My Mom took Flynn into the tent and made him sleep earlier because he was young and still growing.

She also went to sleep early because she was old and… Well, she was just old.

We were sitting on logs, and the glow of the fire lit up everyone's faces.

After all the ghost stories were told, we got pretty bored because we had played all the card games we brought already.

If I heard the word "Uno!" one more time, I swear I was going to slap someone. Ty then suggested we played Truth or Dare.

I quickly agreed with him; Truth or Dare was one of my favorite games.

"Allrite", Ty started off, "Umm… Cece! Truth or dare?"

I decided to start it off easily so I replied "Truth!" "Hmm… If you had to kiss someone here, who would you pick?".

"Myself, of course! I'm gorgeous!", I teasingly sang in a singsong voice while I fluffed my hair.

"Hey! No cheating!", Deuce shouted. "Fine, fine", I said. I thought about it for awhile.

Definitely not Ty because that would make things awkward between Tinka and I.

Certainly not Deuce either because even though she wouldn't admit it, I knew Rocky had a secret crush on him.

"I choose… Gunther!", I said eventually.

Everyone looked pretty shocked, but I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea, so I hurriedly said "Okay! Who's next?"

I guess Rocky did get the wrong idea about it, because then she said "Gunther! Truth or dare?"

I saw a wicked little glint in her eye as he replied "Dare". I knew that look…

In my head I gasped, "she wouldn't dare…!"

But apparently, Rocky did dare because she then proudly stated "I dare you to make out with Cece for five minutes in that tent over there!"

Everyone's mouths flew open because they knew Gunther would never back out of a dare, but no one had a clue as to if he'd back out of this one.

This one was just too... just too scandalous! "There's no way in heck he'd do it!", I reassured myself.

I shot a glare at Rocky, who smugly smiled back. I then glanced up at Gunther to see how he was taking this.

He looked somewhat... amused? He then got up and grabbed my wrist.

"Whoa whoa whoa what do you think you're doing?", I frantically asked.

"A dare's a dare. I can't back out of it", he simply stated. I sighed in defeat, knowing he was right.

We got into the tent and I sat quietly while I watched Gunther zip up the tent from the inside.

Someone outside, probably Rocky, put a flashlight facing our tent so that the crowd outside could see our shadows.

"Great", I thought, "we could have just pretended we did earlier, but now…" I was silently cursing at Rocky in my head.

I felt my stomach getting tighter and tighter as each second passed by.
