Nerve was a very popular online game, pay to watch people do crazy dares or get paid to do dares, watchers around film it when they witness it. The crazier the dare, the more watchers and the more dares you do, the more money you get paid. People were famous from it and sometimes the dares were crazy enough to get people arrested or even injured. You had been smart enough to avoid joining until your friends had pressured you enough to start playing, calling you scared and not interesting enough to have fun.
You hesitantly made an account at home, stupidly putting in your details including your bank account. Awaiting your first dare felt like the scariest few minutes ever, then it appeared. It was an address to a diner, nothing else. You grabbed your keys and went to the diner, your first dare soon popped up on your phone screen when you walked inside. Kiss a stranger for 5 seconds.
You were flabbergasted by the dare, $100 for you to kiss a stranger? You walked around, trying to find someone decent or your age to kiss. It felt almost ridiculous. That was until you saw a brunet guy sitting at a booth by himself with a book in hand, somehow it just so happened to be your favorite book. What were the chances of that? He didn't seem interested in it, almost like someone had just randomly walked up and handed him the book. He looked like someone who definitely played Nerve
You ended up kissing him, it was awkward as fuck but hey at least you got your dare and got the $100 into your bank account. Colby's dare afterwards was much more embarrassing, he broke out into song middle of a diner when people were eating. It was some cheesy love song and he was looking at you the whole time as a person recorded his dare for him and people around cheered. You two started a small conversation before a new dare was decided for both of you by the watchers.
Go to the city with Colby.
That was the dare on your phone, he seemed to get a matching dare as he looked at his phone before looking back up at you with a slight chuckle and glance around the diner. "The watchers seem to like us together." Colby notes with a smile as he went to offer you to come with him, after you declined he said for you to meet him in the underground parking lot if you change your mind.
