Dare

Third Person's Pov.

A week has passed since the first day of school, Sam noticed how pale and lifeless her small friend looks like.

Since this morning, she felt that there was something wrong with the latter but she just shrugged the thought away and tried to listen to the lecture of there professor. It's currently their second period already and it was their Music class.

Their professor keeps explaining something to his students but it seems like no one was paying attention, even Mio who he expected that was listening to him.

Mio was in her thoughts again and seems lost. She's still thinking about the incident in the cafeteria and her cutting herself. She was so lost but tried to find answers when she was brought out oh her mind.

"Miss Anderson?" the teacher asks concern over Mio, the teacher so that there was something wrong with his student. "Is everything alright, Miss Anderson?" once again, the teacher asked very concern about her.

"U-Um yes sir, everything is fine." Mio gave a reassuring smile to the older and the teacher nodded. Like nothing happened the teacher continued with his lecture about music.

[Schools Bell ringing]

"Okay students, that's the bell." the teacher trailed off clapping his hands catching the attention of his students. "I will be seeing you again later as I am your homeroom adviser. Please wait for your next teacher. Goodbye everyone." he bid his goodbyes to his students but before completely leaving, he spared a glance to Mio, he knew something was not right.

>>Seth's and Xanders room [third period]<<

The two boys have History class as their third period, and the whole class was losing it. Their professor is kind of old and a bit slow in talking.

Xander and his so-called friends are silently goofing around and did not care about the teacher in front of them. They were playing dares at each other, giving stupid and playful dares and bets.

When it Xander's turn, his classmate named Lucas gave him a dare he wished he didn't receive.

"So bro, I dare you to make that guy talk to you," Lucas said grinning and pointing to a guy way at the back near the window with earphones on, staring blankly outside. Xander slowly gulped his saliva and looked at his friends again but they just shrugged him.

By now the whole room was in chaos because their professor just fell asleep in the middle of the discussion and the students couldn't care less.

Xander looked at the guy again and back at his friends who were waiting for Xander to do the dare. 'I'm dead meat!' he mentally panicked as he made his way to the guy he has to make to talk. The guy was non-other than Seth.

Meanwhile, Seth was minding his own business. He knows that their history teacher will fall asleep, he knows because he used to have teachers like him in his old school.

Seth was lost in his thought, he was reminded of the cafeteria incident that was bothering him. there were two things about it; one, his younger cousin Sam almost beat up another student and he knows well that if Sam did not get to her senses she was going to be in big trouble. She might end up almost killing the other girl, he knows that Sam has anger issues like him, both can't control their anger mostly their emotions.

Second, the crying girl. He couldn't forget the face of the other girl that his cousin Sam hugged and drying the other's tears. There was something about the small one that Seth was so drawn to. He felt wanting to protect her, to hug her, to be someone the small one could lean on.

He couldn't forget her face, every feature of the small girl stuck on his mind. He's been seeing the small one every night in his dreams but couldn't pluck the courage to ask his cousin. He sighed when he felt someone's presence.

He looked up to see a guy with a goofy but nervous smile plastered at the boy's face. He only raised him an eyebrow not minding talking. 'what the heck does this fuckboy wants!?' he muttered in his head, he knows who the boy is but did not care to ask.

He leaned down a little closer before whispering something. "Um, can you talk to me? I know I might be bothering you but I got a dare that I have to make you talk to me." Xander said still having a goofy smile.

'Doesn't he know I can't hear him' Seth said again at his head. He thinks that Xander is stupid because Seth was wearing his earphones and could not hear anything other than the music that was playing entitled 'Savage Love by Jason Derulo'.

Seth gave him a questionable look while motioning to his earphones on his ears. Xander saw it and laughed awkwardly while scratching the back of his head.

Xander was so tensed that he doesn't know what to do so the next thing he does is motioned for the other to take his earphones off, and to his surprise, Seth took them off but did not utter a single word just stared at him blankly.

"So like I was saying..." Xander trailed off again while he took one of the empty chairs and placed it in front of the other desk facing him. However, Seth did not budge in his position nor his blank stare.

"I just wanted to say hi and get to know you better," Xander thought that Seth would speak if he said it like that, he matched it with a smile that even boys couldn't resist. He looked at the others' expressions to see that it was still the same. He felt nervous suddenly when Seth did not speak and just looked at him.

Seth took his phone out and type something and faced the phone's screen in front of Xander, it quote;

"You're only talking to me because you and your so-called friends are playing a stupid game and they made you make me talk."

Xander's eyes widened as he was reading every single word and look at Seth and back to the phone and vise versa. He was beyond shock and amazed at the same time, he didn't know why but all he could say was...

"WHAT THE FUCK!"
