"It was good but it was all pretend"

Phil Diffy was hanging with his three friends on his back porch. It was a boring Saturday in Pickford, California. They had done just about everything imaginable to cure their boredom. They'd played a lively game of tag, Frisbee, they'd made their own pizzas, and eventually played a game of tag with water balloons.

So they were sitting there slightly damp wondering what they should do next.

"I am so bored…" Keely Teslow proclaimed.

"I'm forced to agree," Owen Sanders stated.

"We've already run out of things to do and school isn't even out yet, you guys this is going to be the most boring summer ever." Olivia "Via" Crowley whined her English accent thick as ever.

"Come on guys can't you come up with something to do?" Keely asked looking at Phil.

He shrugged he was out of ideas, he didn't know what present day teenagers did when they were bored, and he had made it clear that he wasn't spending the next six hours at the mall, and Owen had agreed with him.

"Hey!" Owen exclaimed.

"What?" they all asked him.

"I know…why don't we play truth or dare, minus the truth part. We dare each other to do stuff and we can't refuse the dare with out a really good reason." Owen suggested.

"A game of dare…I don't know Owen. I don't think I'm that bored yet." Phil said dryly.

"Come on Philly Cheese Steak…" Owen said.

Phil winced at the awful nickname and turned to the girls, "Are you intrigued by Owen's suggestion."

"What the hell…it could be interesting…" the brunette Brit said.

"How about you Keel?" he asked his blonde best friend.

"It's better than guess that cloud," she responded with a shrug.

"Hey! That was a good game with a low level of embarrassment." Phil said indignantly.

"Don't you ever get tired of playing it safe?" Owen asked.

"What do you mean playing it safe?" Phil asked doing air quotes.

"I mean you never take any risks. You even have the same thing for lunch everyday. You never ask anyone out." Owen said pointedly his gaze drifting from Phil over to Keely, "You are the embodiment of playing it safe."

Phil didn't think Owen knew the word embodiment much less how to use it in a sentence properly. He was completely taken aback.

"I do not always play it safe, I take risks..." Phil looked at Keely for help.

"I hate to say this but Owen's right. You do take risks sometimes but you don't take them because you want to but because you have to. Sometimes its fun to take chances and make mistakes. I think you should try that…" Keely told him.

"Fine but there has to be some rules to this game." Phil said crossing his arms over his chest.

Owen sighed, "What are your terms?"

"Okay first no dares that include anything dangerous, or illegal, or anything that will get us expelled, and nothing that would require us to strip in public." He said hoping he'd covered all the bases.

"Oh…we all know better than that, I thought you were going to say no singing or dancing…" Owen said.

"Is it too late to add that?" Phil asked silently damning himself for that oversight.

"Yes!" All three of them said.

"Fine…" Phil sulked, he knew that they were going to have him embarrass himself severely .

Via gave Keely a high five.

"I knew you were going to dare one of us to kiss you…I'm just beating you to the punch…" Keely said.

"Alright who's going first?" Owen asked.

"I'll go first…" Via smirked, "Keely, I dare you to go over to Vice Principal Hackett's house and ring the doorbell wait till he answers it and tell him that you shave clowns…"

"What?" Keely asked.

"Go over to Hackett's ring the doorbell and when he answers tell him you shave clowns." Via repeated.

"No…" Keely blushed brilliantly.

"Keel…you know the rules." Owen said.

"Okay, fine, whatever, I'll do it." She got up off the steps and Owen and Via followed her across the yard but Phil lagged behind afraid.

He followed them out of the gate and around the house he watched from the hedges with the other two as the blonde girl went up their eccentric Vice Principal's door. She stuck her tongue out at them before she rang the doorbell.

He smiled, she was one of the most amazing girls he'd ever known. And he couldn't be more in love with her, after three years of being her best friend he wanted to be so much more but he was terrified that she wouldn't feel the same and if she knew that he had such thoughts and feelings about her that she might feel uncomfortable around him and not want to be friends anymore.

He watched as Hackett pulled open the door to regard the girl and she told him that she shaved clowns before stammering out an apology and running back over to them.

Owen and Via were laughing hysterically. Keely was blushing profusely and Phil thought she looked pretty.

"It's my turn now…I dare you to call up Gary Sullivan on your cell phone, and start moaning, and you cannot block the number!" Keely shouted.

"Gary Sullivan?" Via asked a horrified look on her face.

"Yes…" Keely said with a smirk.

They headed back toward the backyard as Via took out her phone dialed Gary's number.

"Oh and put it on speaker or else we wouldn't know weather or not you called him." Keely said.

Via glared at her, and did as she was told. Three rings later Gary picked up the line.

"Hello…" he said.

It was taking so much to keep from laughing.

Via immediately started moaning on the other end of the phone. Keely gave her a signal to stop and Via flipped her phone closed.

"I hate you…" Via said.

"That was really hot…" Owen said.

Via punched him in the arm, "You thought the film Hackett showed of chinchillas mating was hot."

"Now it seems it's my turn…" Owen rubbed his arm.

Phil gulped, "What do you want me to do?"

"I dare you to kiss Keely…" Owen smirked.

"K–kiss Keely?" Phil whispered, it was something he had been dreaming about doing since he first saw her that Christmas four years ago.

"That is if you're cool with it Keely…" Owen said.

"I–I…" Keely stuttered looking more scared than when she had done her own dare.

"Well we could count it as the next dare. She seems to be far more uncomfortable with this than I think she would be about putting her bra on the outside of her shirt and walking around like that all day…" Via said.

"Owen…Keely and I are friends…really good friends we don't do these types of things…I'm sure you can come up with something else–" Phil started.

"I'm not going to let you chicken out of this Diffy. You're going to kiss her and you're going to like it." Owen said.

"You don't want to kiss me?" Keely asked.

"Yes. No...Trick question...I've thought about it okay…" Phil said.

"Me too. Now this is a dare, kind of like when we did that scene for Carver's theatre class freshman year…it's all pretend. Just some fantasy of Owen's." Keely said stepping closer to him and taking his hand.

"Alright." he said.

First, he pulled her into a hug; usually it was her throwing her arms around him he never initiated these things. He gripped her hips and leaned in brushing his lips against hers. He added pressure and she responded to the soft gentle caress of lips, he wasn't sure who opened their mouth first but soon they deepened the kiss. Her fingers tangling in his hair as she kissed him back while he rubbed her back the kiss showed no signs of stopping.

Owen finally tapped him on the shoulder, and Phil didn't want to stop. But he finally broke the kiss because he desperately needed to breathe.

"Wow…." Keely whispered looking dazed.

Phil reluctantly let her go, and turned to find both Owen and Via grinning.

Via laughed, "Why don't you boys go get us something to drink…"

Phil walked on ahead into the house; he didn't feel like talking to Owen. Phil didn't want to know what it was like to be with Keely when he could never have her. Kissing her was amazing. It hurt to know that something that meant everything to him really didn't mean anything.

"You don't have to thank me Phil…you can dare me to kiss Via when we get back out there." Owen said.

"You want me to thank you? It didn't mean anything Owen…she was pretending…I wasn't…I knew I shouldn't have agreed to this. So that life can find another way to fuck me over…"

"I was right you do like her." Owen said.

"I'm in love with her…" Phil said bluntly.

Outside Keely was still reeling from the kiss Phil had given her, all of the feelings she'd been trying to keep repressed for the good of their friendship had resurfaced.

"So...what was it like when he kissed you…I'm dying to know?" Via said.

"I can't even think…" Keely whispered sitting down on the porch steps.

"He seems like a really good kisser. Was it passionate? It looked really passionate." Via asked.

Keely didn't answer her friend, and clutched her knees to her chest. The kiss had been everything she'd hoped for Phil was an amazing kisser, and it was full of passion.

She knew it was all pretend, just a make believe kiss but she felt a need want for him that was so undeniably real and raw she knew it wasn't rational to feel this way. But she couldn't help what she was feeling.

Keely looked up at Via and then glanced around, she could hear Owen talking in the kitchen and Phil banging cabinets closed in the kitchen.

"It was amazing." Keely whispered.

"You like Phil why won't you tell him how you feel. If that kiss was any indicator he feels the same." Via told her.

"It was just pretend; Phil doesn't have those kind of feelings for me." Keely said.

"You don't know that Keely, you two spend an awful lot of time together." Via said.

"You and Owen spend an awful lot of time together. You don't have feelings for him do you?" Keely asked.

Via blushed, "I guess since you told me your secret I can tell you mine. The reason why I fight with Owen a lot is because I like him. And I don't flirt like other girls."

"Why don't you tell him then?" Keely asked.

"Because it's Owen…girls are clamoring to go out on dates with him. And if I were to tell him he'd never let me live it down." Via told her, "And this isn't about me. You just got an amazing kiss from a wonderful guy."

"The only thing I can do is leave it to the waves. If they push us together then it was meant to be if they don't then oh well. I guess I'm out of luck." Keely said.

Owen and Phil came out with some drinks, it had taken them an impossibly long time to return with four can Cokes.

"Owen wanted to try and make lemonade, but we didn't have any lemons." Phil told them.

"You're just like that movie Saturday you never have two things that match. Peanut butter and no jelly. Ham and no burger." Owen said.

"I think that was Friday Owen…" Keely told him.

"Oh…anyways I think its Phil's turn…to dare me to do something." Owen gave Phil a less that subtle wink.

Phil rolled his eyes, "Fine…Owen I dare you to drink as much of this Coke as you can in twenty seconds."

"That was hardly imaginative, I've seen him put down whole meals in less time than that." Via said.

"It was all I could come up with…" Phil said blushing.

"Fine…I'll do it." Owen said popping the tab on the drink and inhaling it in less than ten seconds.

"It was a good try though…" Keely offered.

"Thanks…" he whispered not meeting her eyes.

"Um…I think you should rethink that and get a do over…" Via said.

"Me too, I thought you were going to totally return the favor. I want to kiss Via dude." Owen whispered loudly.

Phil raised an eyebrow and glanced at Via, "Via, I dare you to kiss Owen…"

Via smirked and crossed the small space between herself and Owen she grabbed him and kissed him hard. Owen kissed back reverently. Keely couldn't help but stare it looked like feeding time at the shark tank. So much pent up unresolved sexual tension finally coming to some kind of resolution she could only hope they didn't hurt each other.

She didn't bother to stop them when the acceptable time had passed, she wonder if it looked like that when Phil had kissed her, it certainly didn't feel like some lust fueled make out session. It felt different, maybe she was grasping at straws, but it did.

"Um…you guys can stop now…" Phil said.

Via finally broke the kiss, "That wasn't so hard."

"Well, it is now…" Owen said.

"Gross…" Keely said walking over to the swing.

"I'm with her on that one…" Phil said starting after her.

"Keel, about the kiss…" Phil began as he took a seat beside her.

"It's okay…I know it doesn't mean anything…." She told him.

"Of course not…" he whispered, "We're friends…right?"

There was a note of sadness in his voice and he still wasn't looking her in the eye.

"Best friends…Look I don't want these stupid dares to mess that up. Now I know you're embarrassed about the whole kiss thing but its fine…we both know it didn't mean anything. So we can move on right?" she asked.

"Yeah…I'm glad we talked about it." He said finally meeting her eyes.

"Me too…" she whispered

She knew getting through the summer was going to be tough.
