Chapter Three: Zoey's Dare
Boxers of Briefs?

The next weekend, they were at Zoey's house for a sleepover.

"OK, Zo, it's your turn for a dare." Janna said.

Zoey rolled her eyes. "Well bring it on." Zoey said challenging.

Cameron and Janna whispered a minute. Cameron grinned and said, "You have to borrow a pair of boxer shorts…from Dan Kerr!"

"WHAT?!" Zoey shouted. Janna and Cameron laughed

"You have to do it." Janna said.

"Yeah, we did our dares." Cameron added.

Zoey moaned. "Fine! Everyone happy? I'll do it!"

Monday, 3:25 PM…Delsea Middle School Gym

"OK, just go into the boy's locker room, grab his boxers and get out." Cameron said.

"I so don't wanna go in there!" Zoey whined.

"Too bad." Janna said. Zoey whimpered but walked inside.

-

Zoey's nose wrinkled at the scent of sweat. But not just any sweat. BOY sweat. Zoey moaned inwardly and started to turn to leave.

Yeah, she was going to chicken out.

But something caught her eye. She turned back around and saw a gym bag on one of the benches. She ran over to it and opened it.

"Please be Dan's…please be Dan's…" she muttered under her breath as she searched through it. She saw a name tag on it.

Kerr, Dan

"Thank god." she breathed. She looked through for his boxers.

"Where are they?" she whispered frantically. She heard the shower water shut off. "Crap!" she said. She opened one of the giant lockers and climbed inside.

She opened it slightly and peeked out. She saw Dan standing there in nothing but a towel. She sighed dreamily. His wet hair stuck to his neck and face. Water droplets fell off his arms and face.

Zoey smiled. He turned and walked back to the shower. She took that opportunity to find his boxers.

She went back to his bag and looked for them again. She heard footsteps and she ran back into the locker.

She peeked out at him again. Her eyes widened. He was holding the boxers! Zoey's heart sank.

"Damn! What am I supposed to do now?!" she thought.

She looked back at him. He wasn't there…

But his boxers were!

Zoey got out of the locker and ran back over. She grabbed the boxers off the floor and started to run out. But she slipped on the wet floor.

"WHOA!" she yelled.

"Hello? Anyone there?" Dan asked.

Zoey made a weird noise and scrambled up off the floor.

She ran out of the boy's locker room.

-

"I got them!" Zoey cried. She dangled the boxers in front of her friends' faces. "Ha ha!"

"Good job Zo." Janna said.

"Yeah. Now put them back. We're gonna go." Cameron said.

"OK. I'll talk to you tonight." Zoey said. She turned and walked back into the boy's locker room.

-

She looked around a minute before she went to put the boxers back in the bag.

"Excuse me." a voice said. Zoey froze. Her heart stopped. "But I think those are mine."
