Chapter One: Cameron's Dare
They Boy's Locker Room
"Hey, guys, let's play Truth or Dare." Janna said to her two friends Cameron and Zoey. It was Friday night and the girls were at Janna's house for a sleepover.
"Sure, why not?" Zoey said. "Cam, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Cameron said bravely.
"I dare you to…gargle the National Anthem…with coke." Zoey said.
"I accept." Cameron said. She took a can of cold Coke-A-Cola from Zoey. She took a sip and started.
"O ay an oooo ee? Eye uh awns a-ree ight." (translation- oh say can you see? By the dawn's early light) she started coughing and choking on the soda. She spit it out in a cup.
"Keep going." Janna said.
Cameron took another sip and took off where she left off. "Ut o ee ailed. Eye us eye-ights ast reaming. Oos out ipes n right ares. Ooo uh a-uh-res-ights. O'er uh amparts ee atcheed, er o alently eeming. An uh okets ed are. Uh ombs ursting en air. Avve oof oo uh ight at ur agg ill ere. O aye us at are angled annnnner et ave. o uh and of uh eeeeee, n uh ome uh uh ave!" (translation: What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.O say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Janna and Zoey clapped for their 'talented' friend. Cameron swallowed the soda and took a bow.
"OK, my turn. Zo, truth or dare?" Cameron asked.
"dare." Zoey said.
"I dare you to eat a spoonful of butter." Cameron said.
"GROSS!" Zoey yelled. Cameron went into the kitchen and grabbed a spoon. She stuck it in the butter bucket and handed a spoonful to Zoey.
"Eat it. Eat it. Eat it." she and Janna chanted. Zoey made a face and stuck the spoonful in her mouth. The girls cheered and she pulled the spoon out of her mouth.
"Ewww." she moaned.
"You're turn Zo." Janna said.
"No. I'm gonna go puke. Cam, go for me." Zoey said and walked away.
"Ok, truth or dare Janna?"
"Truth."
"OK…is it true that you made out with Nick Collingsworth after the away game against Ritter?" Cameron asked, a smirk forming on her lips.
"NO!" Janna cried. She whacked her with a pillow. Cameron burst out in laughter and fell over.
"Alright, it's MY turn. Truth or Dare Cameron?"
"Dare." Cameron said between laughs.
"I dare you to go in the boy's locker room on Monday when we're back in school." Janna said. Cameron stopped laughing.
"You're serious?" she asked.
"Totally. So, Cam, do you accept?" Janna asked smirking.
"Yeah. I do." Cameron said.

Monday, 3:25 PM…Delsea Middle School Gym
Cameron, Janna, and Zoey stood outside the Boy's Locker Room. The door was wide open.
"Here. You'll need this." Zoey said. She handed Cameron an oversized black sweatshirt. Cameron put it on over her clothes and yanked the hood up. It hid her face well.
"Ok…good luck Cam." Janna said. Cameron nodded and walked inside.
-
"Hello?" her voice squeaked. 'H-h-hello?"
"Hello?" a voice answered.
"Crap!" Cameron said. She turned to leave but slipped on the wet floor.
She heard footsteps coming closer.
"Oh. My. God." She breathed. She scrambled to get up and run to the door. Somebody grabbed the back of her sweatshirt.
"Well, well, well. Cameron Santiago, what are you going here?" a boy's voice asked.
Cameron moaned to herself as her eyes widened. "N-no, I'm not Cameron." she said in a deep voice.
"Please. I'd recognize that butt anywhere." the boy said.
"Oh, so you've been looking?!" Cameron said in her normal voice. She slapped her hand over her mouth.
"So, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I've been dared." Cameron whispered. "Listen, I'm gonna go." she turned past him, not looking, and started to run away. She slipped on the wet floor again and slip to the shower. The front of her sweatshirt was soaked. He laughed loudly.
"I'm so glad you find this funny." Cameron muttered.
"This is a bit awkward." he said.
"Oh yeah." Cameron said. She got up and turned around facing him, immediately regretting it.
Who knew that under those black shirts and jeans was…that?!
Cameron took a deep breathe and spun back around. "Oh God." she muttered.
"Don't worry Cam. You're secret's safe with me." he said.
"Thanks." she muttered.
"Oh, just one more thing." he said. He grabbed his soaking wet t-shirt and wrung it out over her head, wetting her hair and shirt some more.
"Thanks." she spat. She punched him in the jaw and ran out.
-
"You did it!" Zoey cried and hugged her.
"Yeah, but what took you so long?" Janna asked.
"Nothing." Cameron squeaked.
"O…k." Janna said.
"Hey Cameron, why are you so wet?" Zoey asked.
"I'd REALLY rather not talk about." Cameron chuckled.
