Will Jason find out the truth about his best friend’s feelings for…

Jason: YES!!!!
Leigh: Have you gone cuckoo or something bro.?
Jason: Nope, you know Rick’s family?
Leigh: Yeah…what about them?
Jason: They’re moving next door!
Leigh: Oh, good for you… (Leigh says in a sarcasm voice)

A week later, Rick and his family have finally moved in next door.

Jason: Rick!
Rick: Jason my man!
Jason: Ssup dude?
Rick: Nothing much.
Jason: Hey, now that you’ve finally moved in right next door to me, wanna come over my house and watch some videos?
Rick: Sure, I’ll bring the popcorn.
Jason: Great, meet you in 5.
Rick: K.

While they’re watching videos…Jason’s mum walks in.

Linda (mum): Honey, have you seen Rachel?
Jason :( without paying any attention) Nope.
Linda: Ok honey, but if you do let me know ok?
Jason:O…

Just then, the telephone rings. And all of a sudden, Rachel races down the stairs, pasts her mum, and plops down on the couch near Jason and Rick, just in time to pick up the phone. Jason looks at Rick with a confused _expression and then turns back to the tv. However, Rick just stares at Rachel blankly with his mouth wide open.

Rachel: Hello?
Rachel: Ohhhhh, erm, yeah, ok, ok, hold on please.
Rachel: Jason?

Rachel hands the phone over to Jason, gets up, and just as she was about to race up the stairs again, her mum stopped her.

Meanwhile…

Jason: Yello?
Jason: Oh, hi Ms Andrews(Rick’s mum)…what? Yes! Ok sure, great, bye!
Rick: What was that about?
Jason: Your mum says you can sleep over if you want, and she and your dad are coming over for dinner.
Rick: Great, let me just go back and get my toothbrush and stuff.
Jason: Ok.

Meanwhile…

Linda: Honey, I just want to let you know that we’ll be having guests tonight for dinner.
Rachel: Oh, ok.

And then Rachel turns back and races up the stairs. When Rick is back…

Jason: Wonder why Rachel wanted to pick up the phone so anxiously. (laughing)
Rick: (laughing faintly)Yeah.
Jason: Rick dude, is something wrong?
Rick: Uhhhh, no, nothings wrong, nothing is wrong at all!
Jason: Well, okay dude, if you say so.

That night at dinner, Rick’s parents have arrived.

Linda: So good to see you again Wendy.(rick’s mum)
Wendy: Same to you Linda.
Linda: Could you excuse me for a moment while I call the kids to come down?
Wendy: Sure.
Linda: Elizabeth, Oliver, Jason, Leigh, Rick, Rachel! Come down for dinner please.
Elizabeth: Coming…
Oliver: Wait a sec.
Leigh: Hold on.
Rachel: Umm, hold on.

Jason and Leigh were the first to rush down for dinner. And then followed by Leigh, Oliver, Rachel, and lastly, Elizabeth.

They all said hello and sat down for dinner. After the Andrews, except Rick, had left, they all went back upstairs again except Rachel, Jason, and Rick. Rachel was lying on the sofa reading a magazine while talking to Jo on the phone while Jason and Rick were sitting on the carpet playing PS2.

At night, when everyone was in their rooms either sleeping, chatting on the phone, reading, sleeping, playing, or eating…

*Jason’s room*

Jason: Rick, you wanna ask everyone to play Truth Or Dare?
Rick: K.
Jason: Great, follow me, I wanna show you something on the way.

After a few stops, they finally reach Rachel’s room.

Jason: Sis!!
Rachel: What?
Jason: Could you open the door first?

Rachel opens the door and lets Jason and Rick in.

Jason: See, look at all these cool things. Her room is like all automatic.

And just as Jason was about to press a button on a remote lying on the table, Rachel interrupts.

Rachel: I didn’t let you guys in to make my room an exhibition or something!
Jason: Sorry, anyways, you wanna play Truth Or Dare with us.
Rachel: No thanks, now can you leave now?
Jason: Yup, night.
Rachel: Night.

Rachel shuts the door behind them, and continues reading the magazine she was reading before being rudely interrupted.

In Jason’s room, only Elizabeth, Jason, Rick, and Leigh are playing.

Liz: K, who’ll start first?
Jason: I will. I pick Dare.
Liz: K, I dare you to…snog one girl in this house for 10 minutes.
Jason: Ok, I want, to forward it x4.
Liz: Ok.

Jason: Leigh?
Leigh: Oh man…ok, mum!
Jason: Bye.

After Leigh comes back…

Leigh: Jason…
Jason: Fine, mum!

Soon after…

Jason: Rick my man!
Rick: Ummmmmmmm…
Jason: There are only 3 girls in this house so pick 1. Liz, Rach, or my mum!
Liz: Yeah, but to give you a hint, if you kiss Rachel, you’ll be dead meat if Jeremy finds out!
Leigh: Huh, yeah.
Jason: Ok, so who is it?
Rick: Ummm….pass.
Liz: Fine, truth or dare?
Rick: Truth.
Liz: Ok, do you fancy anyone in this house? Now be completely honest!
Rick: Well, yeah, ok you got me.
Liz: Who?!
Rick: You can’t ask a question with a question!
Liz: Ok, ok, your go then.
Rick: Ok, Leigh.
Leigh: Fine, truth.
Rick: K, who do you have your eyes set on now?
Leigh: Ummmm, ok, Hilary Duff!
Rick: (laughing)ok, your turn.
Leigh: Jason.
Jason: Dare.
Leigh: I dare you to, lick my armpit!
Jason: Gross, but fine.

After Jason had done it…

Jason: Yuck that was disgusting!
Leigh: Hehehehe…
Jason: Rick.
Rick: Dare.
Jason: I dare you to tell me who you have a crush on.
Rick: What?! Ok, ok, well…its….umm….R…..your sister.
Jason: Elizabeth?!
Rick: Ewww, no! Rachel.
Jason: Ohhhhhhh….
Rick: Anyways, Liz.
Liz: Truth.
Rick: Do you love…Jason?
Liz: Well, yeah, coz he’s my step bro.
Rick: Ok.
Liz: Rick, better watch out!
Rick: Fine, dare.
Liz: Hah, you should have known not to choose dare.
Liz: I dare you to kiss…Rachel…for 10 minutes!
Rick: What?!
Jason: Ya’ gotta do it man, you can’t pass.
Rick: O….o….ok.

In Rachel’s room…

Jason: Should we wake her up?
Liz: Nah, just do it secretly.
Jason: Ok, go on then Rick.

Rick crept closer and closer, and finally, was standing right next to Rachel.

Liz: Just do it already!
Jason: SSSSSHHHHHH!
Liz: Sorry.

Just then, Rachel turned over to the other side. So now, she was facing Rick with her eyes closed. A bead of sweat trickled down Rick’s cheek. This was it, he was about to kiss Rachel. Very slowly, his lips began to move closer and closer to hers. And finally, it was just an inch away. He could already hear and feel her breathing down his neck with her warm and soothing breath. He closed his eyes for a second, and then opened them again. But only to find Rachel staring at him with a confused _expression.

Rachel: What are you doing?
Rick: Ummmmmmmm….I….I……I…was….ummmmm….

Then, Elizabeth cut in.

Liz: We were playing Truth or Dare…and…
Rachel: Wait, but what does this have to do with you guys coming in my room?
Liz: Just wait!
Rachel: Sorry…
Liz: Nevermind, anyways…before I was rudely interrupted, I asked Rick if he, ya know, fancied anyone. And he said yes. And then I asked who, and he said…that he fancied…you.
Rachel: What?!

Just then, the phone rang. Rachel picked it up…

Rachel: Hello?
Jeremy: Hi.
Rachel: Oh, hi darling.

Liz looked at Jason and Leigh and said Jeremy.

Jeremy: Hi honey.
Rachel: Why are you calling at the middle of the night?
Jeremy: The question is…why are you awake?
Rachel: Oh, Jason, Leigh, Elizabeth, and a friend rudely barged in.
Jeremy: (laughing) oh.
Rachel: So anyways, back to my question, why did you call?

And it so happens that Jeremy just felt like talking to Rachel. And after a while, they hung up.

Rachel: What were you saying again?
Liz: Right! Rick, you kiss Rachel now! And I’ll lower it to 3 minutes. Now could you please do it?! I’m getting vvveeerrryyy sleepy!
Rachel: I’m sorry?
Liz: Ok Rach, he’s in love with you, and you don’t know it. So he got dared to kiss you!
Rachel: What?! You guys know I’m already engaged…
Liz: I know, but he said that thing…
Rachel: You guys are not serious, are you?
Liz: Yes we are!
Rachel: But you guys know I’m already engaged!
Liz: Yeah, but its just a game!
Rachel: So, if its just a game, can I pass?

What will happen? Part 2 is coming up soon. But if you want any tips before its published, feel free to send me some e-mails attzihua25@hotmail.com. Cheers!
