Chapter 9:

"Truth or Dare"
The game had given Jenna a chance to find out interesting things about Matty and vise versa. But now, it was time to get down to busy.
"Dare."
"I dare you to try and hold yourself up on the monkey bars for longer than I can." Matty said in his jokingly arrogant tone.
"Deal!" Jenna made her way over to the bars and Matty followed behind. They both lifted their arms up, more Jenna than Matty who could reach the bars with his feet firmly on the floor while Jenna would have to stand on her toes.
"Ready! Feet up. Go!"
They faced each other Matty's legs bent upwards and Jenna's just hanging above the ground. They stared at each other and Matty saw as Jenna's skinny arms held of for dear life until' she dropped down. Matty put his feet on the floor and started laughing taking in his glory.
"You've got muscles! I was set up for failure!" Jenna said with her fake angry voice followed by a laugh.
"Don't hate the player, hate the game."
"I do hate the game ha-ha, besides I let you win anyways."
"Oh really now?"
"Matter of fact I did, didn't want to hurt your ego!"
"Oh yeah, I see how that would work with your massssive muscles!" Matty said smiling and slowly creeping closer to Jenna who was also creeping towards him.
"I meant what I said before Jenna." Matty said softly changing the topic.
"What did you mean?"
"You are fun to be around, and you are beautiful especially when you laugh" Matty and Jenna stopped laughing and stood centimeters apart with little remainders of their smiles left on their lips. Jenna was staring up at Matty taken back by how even up close he was unbelievably attractive with a personality to match. Matty leant down and their faces arched into one another's. Jenna could feel her heart racing and could feel Matty's timid breath on hers. There eyes were linked and just a Jenna was about to fill the small space that was left between their lips, a bright light came out of the darkness and Jenna turned to stop her eyes from burning. Matty raised his arm above his eyes to try and see who was standing behind the light.

"MAATTTTTY! Who you got with you tonight?!" Said a loud unwelcome voice.
"Murphy, hey man." Said Matty with disappointment and a little bit of anger in his voice. Jenna took a step away still facing the opposite direction of the light.
"Who you got tonight playa! Brittany? Susie? Sandy?" Murphy continued to say a list of names while Matty tried to cut him off.
"Murph. Murphy! I'm busy man, go away."
"Ha-ha, I get ya' dog, I know how it is!" Murphy put the light to the floor and walked away from the park and so did Jenna. She walked off into the darkness and when Matty turned around and saw her leaving she ran up to her.
"Jenna! Look sorry about Murphy his just being an idiot"
"Brittany, Susie, Sandy, Mandy, Candy, whoever. Just not me Matty." Jenna's voice cracked and she could feel something dwelling up in her chest, that something was disappointment combined with embarrassment, maybe even a little self-pity. Matty stood there speechless, what could he do? It was true, people knew him as a player but he never wanted to play around with Jenna. Normally he would barely talk to the girls before fooling around with them. Jenna was different.
