It was game night between the core 5 and Zay's turn to host. Because Zay didn't have any board games or enough remotes, it ALWAYS ended up becoming an intense truth or dare session. No one knew how but each game brought something different.

"Maya! Truth or dare?" Riley asked. She was sitting next to Zay. They were a new-found couple. Her and Lucas broke up two years ago on a good note. And now...things were uh changing in the group.

"Truth..." I hesitated. Riley knew something was up with me but I couldn't tell her exactly what yet. It had to do with- "Do you like anyone?" -that. How I felt about someone. To be specific, Lucas. We somehow got close throughout the years and I was worried I had feelings for him.

"nO! Wha- nOw wHO WoUld I HavE feEliNGs foR?!" The group laughed as my face turned red. "Maya, I know you LIKE someone!" Riley pleaded. Lucas smirked at me. "C'mon, tell us. You know you want to." I rolled my eyes. "Look Josh and I broke up two weeks ago. I moved on but not that far." I started hesitantly laughing. Lucas looked down as the room got awkwardly quiet.

Zay finally broke the silence. "I have an idea for a dare. Tell us a story, a 'fictional' story, of how, maybe, you would fall in love with...hm...me,"

I glared, "No."

"Farkle?"

Farkle's eyes lit up. "No!"

"Then it has to be Lucas."

"Fine. Fasten your seatbelts and listen to the story of...a young girl named Maya." I began.
