Every trend comes back eventually, right? You never thought this one would—until you got nominated. By your fans. By celebrities. The Ice Bucket Challenge.
And here you were, standing in the backyard of your house, holding a bowl filled with water and ice cubes. Your boyfriend, Drew—who was enjoying this way too much—stood in front of you, phone in hand.
“3, 2, 1… recording,” he said, sounding very amused.
“Hi guys. I didn’t know we were back in 2014, but apparently, the Ice Bucket Challenge is a thing again. This challenge exists to raise awareness for mental illness and diseases, so if you know someone who’s struggling, don’t hesitate to speak up. Helping is the best thing you can do,” you said, the bowl still in your hands.
“Alright, I nominate Madelyn Cline, Tate McRae, and my beautiful boyfriend, Drew Starkey,” you added, your voice dripping with payback for how much he was enjoying this.
Drew’s eyes widened behind the camera. “You’re so dead,” he muttered, but didn’t stop recording.
“Okay… let’s do this.” You hesitated for a second, then dumped the bowl of ice-cold water over your head.
“F– cold, cold, cold!” you shivered, as Drew burst out laughing and stopped filming, lowering your phone.
“You look like a drowned poodle. Need help getting out of those wet clothes?” he teased, grinning mischievously.
