★Junior's POV★

I quickly push myself out of Cody's arms in embarrassment, falling right on my ass. Cody moves his attention away from the confused Joseph to me, "Uh Jun–", I quickly stand up and brush myself off, "I'm f-fine!", I look at Joseph, "Joseph..we were..ugh nothing..just..why are you even here?", my stomach churns, I had a feeling Joseph would just show up. He probably wants to know if I finished the dare or not.

Cody speaks up, his expression much more annoyed than before, "Yeah..you never come to my house, especially before school..unless..", suspicion crept up Cody's face and I began to panic until Joseph spoke up, "Calm down, Cody.. Junior texted me this morning to come by, so we could all walk together to school.. right Junior?" Both Cody and Joseph look at me expectantly. «Joseph definitely came here for one thing only..I feel like I'm going to puke again..», "U-uh right! I did..do that..yep!" «Smooth Junior real smooth..», Joseph rolls his eyes and shakes head, "Anyways..are we going to get going or what dudes?", Cody's expression didn't change but he nods and starts walking ahead of us.

I was tempted to catch up with him, but of course Joseph stops me, he spoke quietly, "Did you do it yet?", I quickly shake my head, I really don't wanna talk about this now. Joseph looked disappointed at first but then he smiles and pats my shoulder, "Dude don't worry..I got an idea.", With that Joseph walks off somewhat catching up with Cody, and seemingly tries to start a conversation with him. I only stood there, feeling my chest sting slightly as I watch them. The feeling was something I haven't felt before or maybe I have and I just don't remember. I ignore it and catch up with them, walking besides Cody and joining in on the random conversation.

At “Y U Dumb Elementary School”

Mr. Chu went on and on about everything and nothing at the same time, I think today's topic was about tax invasion..? whatever that is. My mind couldn't help but wonder to the dream I had the previous night, «What was all that about? Would Cody really feel and think that way..if I told him..shit what if he found out, ugh this is so much pressure..but I don't want Joseph to think I like Cody or something if I suddenly DON'T want to do this..I mean I was so down with this whole dare before, frankly I didn't want to go to Cody's house at first but I guess I was cool with the whole hurting his feelings part..what the fuck is wrong with me? Am I just feeling bad because Cody told me he liked me and I just wanna spare his feelings..or do I share the same feelings? Do I just feel bad for him..? Is it both? Why is this so difficult now..? Why is this bothering me so much..?»

"JUNIOR!" I look up and Mr. Chu and of course most of the class were staring at me. "Junior, why you cry like little bitch? Yes tax invasion is very very upsetting..but no need to cry about it.. Go clean yourself up! Joseph! Take Junior to the bathroom!", I felt a wash of embarrassment come over me as I sniffle and wipe my face quickly. I stand up, keeping my head down, I knew Cody was staring at me, I already knew he was worried. I felt so overwhelmed I guess I didn't even realize I started crying like a baby.

I quickly leave the classroom and I heard footsteps behind me, "Wait dude!", Joseph stops me and makes me face him, "Junior, what happened? I've never seen you cry like that..", I sigh and shake my head, "I-i don't know if I can do this.. the dare.. it's freaking me out..", Joseph gives me a confused looks and then cross his arms, "What? Why back out now, you're in too deep, dude, just go with it..", he chuckles and looks to the side, "Unless you're crushing on Cody, that's pretty gay, dude..", I felt my face heat up and I quickly shake my head in denial, "W-what no! Ugh Joseph I just can't do this, seriously!", Joseph seemed to ignore my plea and takes us to the bathroom instead.

Joseph checks each stall, finding all of them empty. He then makes his way to the sinks, leaning on one of them. He crosses his arms and gives me an annoyed look, "Alright dude..what's really going on? Why don't you suddenly want to do this? What happened at Cody's house..?", I get annoyed at each question Joseph asks, does me not wanting to do this really need an explanation? "J-just..a lot happened.." I hesitate and then take a deep breath and continue, "Me and Cody..I don't know kind of connected..it was nice..." , I smile softly just thinking about it, it was comforting thinking about it.

Joseph scoffs and shakes his head, "Well dude, did you know Cody takes creepy photos of you? Is that nice?", «Oh right.. he did do that.. but I honestly don't care too much about it.. even if it's super weird the reason behind it was kinda sweet.. in ways I guess...», "Well..yeah bu–", Joseph steps away from the sinks and comes closer towards me, "Do you realize how sick and creepy that is, dude? How are you okay with that?", I step back, feeling off about how angry Joseph was about this, he's way angrier than I was when I found out about it. "Joseph..dude calm down, it's not that big of a de–", Joseph rolls his eyes and steps back from me, "Junior, you don't realize how much Cody deserves this.. he's told me a lot and all of it just makes me sick..all that weird gay shit..this is only fair anyways...", «Wait..what did Cody tell him..? When did he ever tell Joseph anything??»

Joseph looks at me, smiling, his mood completely changing to a more "softer vibe", which still made me uneasy oddly enough. Joseph then continues, "Don't do this dare for yourself, do it for me, like seriously..it's only a harmless game, we've done worse things to Cody and we're all this friends..so this is just nothing..", «Uh..right we have done worse things to Cody, haven't we? That doesn't make this any better.. right? Ugh why am I making this harder for myself, the answer is clear as day! But I don't want Joseph get mad or get upset.. he's my friend too.. and maybe Cody won't take it so bad.. maybe..», Joseph tapped his foot impatiently, "So.. what's it gonna be dude...?", I look to the side and groan, "o-okay..okay fine, I'll do it but I have no idea how..", With a smirk, Joseph goes on with a fucked up plan he had came up with this morning, I only agree so I can just hurry up and leave the bathroom. I ignore the regret creeping up my spine, this is just a game and I gotta play it out right.
