AN: Okay, guys, I've never written a Raura story before because it's harder than making an Auslly one, but might as well give this baby a shot. And btw, for 4 days the site got blocked, so i couldn't read, and now i can, and i'm so happy now. A Perfect Disaster is going to be updated soon.
Disclaimer: I WILL own Ross and Laura someday.
Laura sometimes wondered how on earth how did they became friends in the first place.
Sure, Raini was friends with her even before the show, and then Calum and Ross came in to their lives and BAM, she found herself inside one of the greatest mysteries of the world. Raini was fun, sometimes crazy, and a lot of times crazier. Calum was crazy, and weird enough already, and when those 2 collides, they could make Laura act so awkward she sometimes felt like she doesn't have a chance. And Ross.
Ross.
The blond-headed guy had been … ummm… making Laura felt so many mix feelings and if she wasn't so nice and if he wasn't her best friend in the first place (and the fact that they're both stars in the same TV shows, but who cares), she'd probably hate him. His siblings (Because his bestfriends also is family) also weren't helping either – trying to hook them both together, and making them kiss and, ugh, she hated the fact that the idea probably didn't sound that bad.
Mix Raini, Calum, Ross and his family, and throw in a crazy game of Truth or Dare – Laura already knew something bad was going to happen.
They were currently hanging out together on the set – all of them – while waiting for the cast's next scene. They were all sitting on the corner, huddled up, giggling (her, Raini and Rydel) and whooping (Ross, Calum, Riker, Rocky, and Ratliff).
"Hey, let's play a game," Raini suddenly piped up, the giggles and the whoopings stopped immediately because they all wanted to know what Raini was saying. "Let's play… Truth or Dare."
Laura knew something bad was about to happen. She and Ross were both there, and she knew the questions were going to be about them. She had seen tons of movies and read tons of teen-lit like that. She almost shakes her head, expecting Ross to shake his too, but he nodded eagerly and his eyes were daring her to. Laura sighed (god, she hate that boy) and nodded. She made a mental note to kill Raini and Ross (and maybe Calum, to save time, because he's probably going to make her feel stupid) later when they're alone. (Because killing her bestfriends in front of their family isn't really a good idea)
"Great!" Raini chirped and winked knowingly towards Rydel and Calum. Laura glared at her questioningly. "Okay, Ross, can you please go get a bottle?"
Ross nodded and got up to find one, coming back shortly after. Somehow Ratliff moved towards Ross's space, leaving a small gap next to Laura. (She made another mental note to kill Ratliff) Ross shrugged casually, and sat down; as usual without any personal space whatsoever between them.
Ross put down the bottle he found in the middle and he grinned at Laura.
"Ooooh! Can I spin it?" Riker offered and they all nodded. Riker spun the bottle excitedly, and he flashed as smile towards Ross (or her, she couldn't tell, coz they're just so close to each other).
Please don't let it be me, she silently prayed, closing her eyes overdramatically. She felt Raini snickers, and she opened her eyes carefully, looking down at the bottle. She sighed in relief. It wasn't her. It was Ross. Boy, not good.
"What do you pick, Ross?" Rocky asked.
Ross pretended to think. Either choice was bad. Truth – the group could find him a 'Raura' themed question such as 'hey, Ross, would you consider dating your co-star?' or 'hey, Ross, what do you think of Laura?' or the most blunt one, 'Ross, do you want to kiss Laura?' Dare – the most daring thing they could find him was probably kiss her. "Dare." Ross replied confidently, and she groaned inside.
The group grinned at each other, having silent conversations between them. "Hey, Ross, remember that sweater you wore to the reunion?" Raini asked. "The Walk the Moon one?"
"Umm… yeah?" Ross said unsure.
Laura was starting to know where this is going.
"Hey, Laur, I saw you got one of those from your fan," Raini smiled excitedly at her. Laura nodded calmly.
"Yeah. It was a cool sweater." Laura confirmed. "But just to be clear though, it's on the laundry today." She grinned at Raini. Ha, Laura snorted inside.
"I heard there's going to be a movie premiere on Monday. We were all invited right?" Calum looked around, and the group nodded. Laura frowned – her plan didn't work. They were still continuing their plan.
"I get where this is going," Ross interrupted. They all grinned. "You guys want me to wear my sweater to the premiere while Laura wears hers?"
"Oh, Ross, you are such a smart boy," Rydel cooed jokingly.
Ross looked at Laura questioningly, silently asking Laura if she was up for the challenge. "Why me?" Laura whined. "Why can't it be Rydel – you know, coz you guys are siblings?"
"Lauraaaa," it was Ross's turn to whine. "Come on, and don't say you're scared."
Laura scoffed. "I am not scared."
"Scaredy cat." Ross teased and she realized he was just heating her up for the dare.
"I'm not."
"Yeah you are."
"I'm not."
"Huh, I think you are," Ross smirked and all Laura wanted to do was kiss (slap) him coz he was being the cocky boy again. Laura frowned at him. "Scaredy cat. Scaredy cat. Laura is a scaredy cat, yeah she is, and I got the last word! Lalalalalaaa…." He mimicked Austin, and Laura bit back a smile.
Laura snickered. "Are you done being a boy, Ross?" she nudged him teasingly with an elbow, and Ross grinned at her challengingly and if Laura wasn't mistaken, she thought she saw a hopeful glint in his eyes (yeah, she was totally mistaken… right?).
"Hey it's not my fault you're a scaredy cat!" Ross defended himself and the brunette scoffed.
"Are you done flirting with your girl, Ross?" Ratliff asked.
"And are you done flirting with your boy, Laur?" Calum asked.
Both of them looked away, and Laura cursed herself. "We weren't flirting," both of them chorused, and they stared at each other wide-eyed.
"So are you up for it, Ross?" Riker quietly guided their conversations into the right subject again.
"I'm up if Laura's up," Ross replied. "You know the Ross-ster doesn't back down. And Laura, I know you're going to-"
"I'm going to do it," she blurted out instantly and Ross looked kinda surprised for a moment. She knew he was impressed. "See, Ross, who's the scaredy cat now?"
"Still you," Raini lamely responded, and Ross leaned forward to high-five her.
Laura was totally going to kill them.
"This is all your fault," Laura hissed as the two of them went inside her dressing room to take a break. She was going to kill him now.
"Why is it my fault?" Ross scoffed, and Laura glared at him. "You were the one who agreed to do it! I thought you were going to back down or refuse, but noooooo… you accept," he glared accusingly at her.
"Well…" Laura stopped. She didn't have any comeback for that one. "It was still your fault!" she awkwardly said.
"Ha, cat got your tongue?" Ross stuck out his tongue at her, and sat down on her couch.
Laura hugged and crossed her arms before sitting down next to him. "I am sooo going to kill you," she said lamely, and Ross pretended to laugh his head off. She bit back a smile. "Whatever. You were the one who was trying to provoke me."
"Just so you know," she said again after a few moments. He tilted to look at her, and she continued, "I'm not going to back down from the dare."
Ross smiled at her, and casually wrapped an arm around her little shoulders, letting her head fall down on his shoulder.
"I still hate you." She said.
Ross grinned, and he tightened the hold around the brunette. "I know. I hate you too."
