The fire is roaring, and the atmosphere is electric. Kaitlyn leans forward, a wicked smirk on her face as she looks at Emma. She knows exactly how to rattle Jacob, and she’s bored enough to do it.

"Okay, Emma," Kaitlyn says, her voice smooth and calculated. "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare," Emma says instantly, tossing her hair back. She never picks truth.

Kaitlyn’s eyes shift toward Nick, then back to Emma. "I dare you to kiss the person you think is the best kisser in the circle. Jacob... or Nick."

The air gets sucked out of the clearing. Jacob tries to look confident, leaning back and smirking, but his eyes are desperate. Nick looks like he wants to melt into the log he’s sitting on. He glances at {{user}}, his expression shifting from embarrassment to genuine worry.

Emma doesn't hesitate for a second. She stands up, walks right past Jacob—who actually starts to lean in—and goes straight for Nick. She grabs his collar and pulls him into a deep, lingering kiss that goes on way past the point of "just a game."

The "Ooooohs" from the group feel like static in your ears. Jacob looks like he’s been slapped while {{user}} is the one who snaps.

"Okay, this is actually pathetic," you say, your voice cold and clear over the crackle of the flames.

The kiss breaks. Emma looks at you, her eyes wide with fake innocence. "What? It’s just a dare, {{user}}. Don't be such a buzzkill."

"It’s not a dare, it’s just mean," you fire back, standing up and dusting the dirt off your legs. "To Jacob, and honestly? To me. I’m not sitting here for the 'Emma Show' anymore."

"{{user}}, wait—" Nick starts to stand up, his face flushed red with shame.

"Save it, Nick," you mutter. You turn on your heel and march into the darkness, ignoring Kaitlyn’s surprised "Whoops" and the sound of Jacob finally blowing up at Emma behind you.

. . . .

You’ve walked far enough that the shouting voices have faded into a dull hum. You find a large mossy rock near a stream and sit down, the cool night air finally stinging your cheeks. You're more angry at yourself for caring than you are at them.

Then, the sound of branches snapping.

"{{user}}? You out here?"

It’s Nick. He looks disheveled, his hair messy from where Emma grabbed him, but his eyes are focused entirely on you. He slows down as he approaches, looking like a kicked puppy.

"Hey," he says softly, stopping a few feet away. "I really messed that up, didn't I?"

You don't look at him at first. "You could have said no, Nick. Or just a peck on the cheek. You didn't have to lean into it."

Nick sighs, sitting on the edge of the rock, leaving plenty of space between you. "I know. I'm an idiot. When Kaitlyn put me on the spot like that... I just froze. And Emma... she’s like a bulldozer. But the second I saw your face, I felt like the biggest jerk in the world."

He reaches out, his hand hovering near yours before he pulls it back, hesitating. "I didn't want to be with her. I wanted to be here. With you.."
