The Dare

         It's started off as a Dare and I thought that was all it was going to be but God had other plans for me. My names Crystal Light and this is my story!

It all started when my friends and I were all playing truth or dare,it was Daren, Brooklyn, Brandon and I,it started off fine and innocent but of course,  it got dirty like it always does with my friends. Let's start from the beginning of my story from where I met my friends so you know what's happening. Like I said my names Crystal Light. I have dark, dark brown hair almost black, and grey eyes that go blue when I'm happy and black when mad.

        I hate this! I'm at the movies and I'm sooooo bored, the movie hasn't started yet and I'm alone yet again. You see, I'm not all that popular. I mean I only have one friend and well she was sick so she couldn't come with me to the movies. The movie finally starts, it's the new Beauty and the beast with Emma Watson. I'm so excited! I've been wanting to watch this! The lights dim and finally go off, I focus on the screen. Yay!

       The movie ended and well… it was amazing!!

I walk outside. My house is about a mile from the movie theater so I just walk. I start walking but stop about 5 feet away because I felt as though someone was watching me. I turned around, I saw a guy across the street just watching me. It was creepy but I felt a very weird pull/ attraction to him. It was weird and I wanted to know who it was so I walked towards him. I stepped into the street, he took a step back. I knew he could hear me so.. I talked to him. “ who are you?” No answer “why are u watching me?”

No answer “Can I come closer and talk to u? I want to see if I know u or not.”

“Yes, you may come closer.” He said finally. YAY! I thought, finally he answers me. His voice is deep yet light. He has a very beautiful voice, it would put most in a trance. I walk closer. He steps closer, into the light. He had long, dark brown hair, with amazing hazel eyes that you just want to get lost in. By most people's definition he's probably not hot but I think he is. He seems to be studying me also. I look down realizing that I'd been checking him out. I look back up and meet his eyes. “Why are you watching me?” I asked

“You're watching me too.” He says

“No!” I say blushing “I mean when I was on the other side of the road.” I explained

“Because I thought you were hot.” He said calmly

“And now what?” I asked, he looks down embarrassed

“ Now I know you are.” He smiles at the ground and shyly looks up at me.

I smiled and I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to kiss him.

“Where do you go to school?” He asks me

“Clay high, well actually I'm moving to Venus high soon. How about you?”

“I go to Venus high school. So more than likely you'll see me. Well, when you start at Venus text me and let me know. I'll show you around or ask for Brandon Luck in the front office.”

“ Well then I'm going to need your number.” I flirted

He smiles and those eyes just sparkle. We exchange numbers.

“I'm Crystal, by the way, Crystal Light.”

“Nice to meet you Crystal. I'll see you around!”

“See you!”

              I start walking home again but turn around to see him watching me again. I smile at him and start walking away again, still smiling.  I thought about him the whole way home and for the rest of that week. We texted all the time and we even hung out a few times. It was great. When I first found out that we were moving, I was kind of sad/mad. Now I'm so excited, because I know that I'll be able to hangout with him anytime.

I close the last box and look around my room. Which is filled with boxes It has nothing else  in it and I mean nothing. Not even my bed, just boxes, even though most things we sold, but some we kept. It's finally moving day!! I'm so excited!! Yay!! I pick up one of the boxes and move it to the moving trailer.  I do this until all the boxes are out of my room. As I go inside I see my mom walking down the stairs with a big box. “Here, let me help.” I grab the box without hearing her response and head outside. I put the box into the van and head inside. I walk to the kitchen and get a bag of chip. Some of the only foods left in the house. We don't have our refrigerator in the house anymore so nothing cold. “Come on Crys/,(Crys is my nickname, pronounced like Chris) grab the chips and the cereal and let's go.” I grab the cereal, already having the chips in my hands, walk outside and climb in the backseat. My mom and dad get into the front seats. I grab my phone, knowing that it's not a long drive so it won't die. I click on Snapchat and see that I have nothing on it I go to the stories. Oh!!!! Brandon posted something on his story!! I quickly open the snap excited to see what it is. But I shouldn't have been. It was a pic of him and a girl, the girl kissing his cheek. I wanted to cry so much but I guess him and I can only be friends. He is a player and that's all! He will be a friend because he has a Girlfriend and I'm not like that! I won't say anything for fear that it might hurt me, for him to know that I like him and him not like me back. The car stops, I look up fearing that we are at our new house but it's just a stoplight. I wipe my eyes with my hands. Realizing that I am crying. I take a deep breath in and let it out. The car starts going again. I breathe in and close my eyes. I breathe out and open them. I close my eyes and by the time I calm myself down. “Here we are!!!!!” My mom screams, scaring me. “The new house!!” It's a very nice house. It's a white house. Five bed, six bath. I archway door, with a grand wooden  staircase when you first open the door. To the left is the living room, with two white sofas and a gold accent chair. A big flat screen tv hung on the will above the fire pit. And to the right is the dining room, with a nice mahogany colored wooden table and white chairs with wooden trims. Next I went upstairs to check out my room, I got to pick my room and my furniture. I got one upstairs, the one farthest to the left. (It’s the biggest other than the master.) as I walk to my bedroom, I see a room next to mine with the door closed. All the other doors are open. I put my ear up to the door to see if someone is in there and hear something. I wonder what’s in there. I put my hand on the door knob. “Wait!” Someone says from behind me. I recognize my mother's voice. “Don't go in there yet” I will show you later today. But you can’t know yet.

“Ok” I nod “ but you better show me later!” I say as I walk to my bedroom.

I walk into my bedroom, it’s freaking HUGE. I had them build me a loft, so when you walk in my room it looks like I have my own balcony in my room. My bed up there. It is a dark wooden canopy bed with four thick posts plus a flat screen right in front of my bed hanging on the wall. . And then on the floor under my loft. I have my desk and my couch and another flat screen. With a whole crap load of movies and a full size fridge. And a snacks pantry. And if you walk next to the tv and bookshelf. There is a book that you pull and a door opens to my closet. It's a walk in with more clothes and shoes than i've ever seen. Lastly if you walk under my stairs there is my own bathroom with a standing shower and a massive tub. Plus a vanity with a crap ton of Makeup and makeup accessories. This place is soooo nice especially compared to what we had before. You see we lived in a trailer before and we were always tight on money. Then my dad got offered a job in Venus with a VERY high in company. So we moved here, the company paid for the move. All of it! This house was built for us and they put furniture in here for us and everything while still paying my dad the same amount. “Dinners ready” I hear my mom yell from the dining room. I can smell the ham from the manhattans. I run downstairs, turn the corner and see my dad sitting at the end of the table while my mom is in the kitchen, making our plates. I walk into the kitchen and open the fridge. “Dad, Mom?  what do you guys want to drink?

“Milk” they say in unison

“Ok” I say laughing as I pour three glasses of milk.

We all sit and eat dinner. It was tremendous.

“We have a surprise for you!!!” my moms shrieks after we finish cleaning up dinner.

“Is it whatever is in that room??”

“Yeah!” my mom runs upstairs with me chasing after her and my father already at the top of the stairs. We walk over to the door, i’m leading. I glance back at my parents, grinning from ear to ear. I put my hand on the doorknob and turn it till I hear it click. I push the door open and walk in. “Oh my God!!” I scream as I see what's in the room. “Puppy!!” I run over to it and sit down next to it. “Is it a husky?” I ask, glancing down at the pup.

“No, but close. More wild than a husky.”

“Its a wolf!!!!” I cry.

“Yep!”

“Oh my god!! I love it!!” I whisper as I run up and hug them “ thank you guys so much”

“Good, its a girl by the way.” my mom says walking away

“I love you brat” my dad adds

“Love you too daddy” I call after him

I turn back to the wolf, “ what are we gonna call you? How about lady?” she stares at me “No? Ok, how about Brookie?” she looks away and lolls out her tongue “ No? Ok, what about Calla?” she looks back up at me and gives me a wolfy smile and wags that cute little tail of hers. “Ok, Calla it is. Is this your room miss calla or are you staying with me? She continues to look up at me then gets up and crawls in my lap. “ ok, with me then. But this is where I’m training you.” I say as she falls asleep on my lap. Her head resting on my hand. My other hand softly stroking her back.
