Summer 2013
Bella and Cat walk onto the beach. June 21st, the first day of summer. Screams start erupting from Natalie, Brooke and Lucy, lying on the sand. They come over to hug Bella and Cat. "We missed you so much!" they all said to each other.
After everyone was settled on the beach, Bella asks, "What's this Summer going to be like?"
"I don't know, Bella," says Lucy, "depends if you still like Brandon."
Brooke starts to laugh.
"I haven't even seen him yet!" says Bella.
Just as they are about to start discussing Brandon; Harry, Clayton, Brandon, and Cameron walk onto the beach.
"Bella!'' Harry exclaims. Bella pops up and hugs all the boys.
Clayton, Brandon and Cameron sit with the girls.
"Let's go get some ice cream, Bella," Harry says.
Harry and Bella walk off the beach, and into the ice cream shop. After they order their ice cream, they sit near the ping pong table.
"So Bella, are you still interested in Brandon?"
"The girls were just asking... besides I haven't even hung out with him yet!"
"Well, if you're not," Harry says, "I'm totally available," he says, flexing his arm muscles.
Bella giggles.
Harry kisses Bella on the forehead.
"Aww Haz, don't make me blush."
"We should all hang out tonight!" Harry says.
"And do what?"
"I don't know, maybe some truth or dare...?" Harry says cheekily.
"I hope that's a joke."
After they finish their ice cream, they walk back down to the beach.
"So are we all hanging tonight?" Harry says.
"Sure," Lucy says, "gazebo at 9?"
Everyone agrees.

9 o'clock at the gazebo

"Is everyone here?" Cameron says.
"Yeah," says Natalie, "So what do you guys want to do?"
"I've got an idea," says Harry, smirking.
"Oh god no," Bella says, "look at him smirking..."
Brooke laughs, "Let him say, Bella. What is it, Harry?"
Bella looks at Harry. "Don't even say what I think you're going to..."
Harry laughs. "Truth or dare! It'd be fun."
"Yeah why not?" Cameron agrees.
"Because it's stupid..." says Cat.
"This is ridiculous," Bella says, agreeing with Cat.
"Why not? It is just a game..." Brandon sides with the boys, "it doesn't mean anything."
"Yeah why not?" Lucy agrees with the guys.
Harry grins. "I'll dare someone first...."
"TRUTH or dare, Harry," says Bella.
"Brandon," Harry says.
"Umm dare," he says.
"I dare YOU to kiss Bella." Harry says.
Bella's face turns red and Harry starts to laugh.
"Um okay," Brandon awkwardly says.
Brandon stands up and walks towards Bella.
"20 seconds." Harry says.
"What?" Bella raises her eyebrows.
"Okay but not in front of everyone.." says Brandon.
Bella and Brandon walk out of the gazebo towards the fence.

Bella POV

I walk towards the fence, along Brandon's side. Do I even still like him? I don't know... I haven't spent any time with him. I keep walking. As we're right next to the fence, Brandon grabs my hand and pulls me in. He kisses me hard at first, when he pulled me in, but softer afterwards. I don't know how long it lasts, but he's such a good kisser.
When I hear Harry yell, "It's been far longer than 20 seconds!!," I pull away.
We walk back, with only the sound of chatter from the gazebo. When we walk into the gazebo, Harry looks straight at me and grins. "How was it?" he says. Really? In front of everyone he asks THAT? I punch him in the arm. He laughs. "Not funny," I say quietly. After that I was kind of spacey, not paying attention to anything. Not much happened after. We just talked about random stuff. After about half an hour of chatting, Harry says, "What ever happened to truth or dare?"
"Brandon and Bella made out for like ten minutes and thats all anyone cared about," Clayton jokes.
Everyone laughs.
Oh my god. That's so embarrassing! But, ten minutes?
"Okay well I dare..." Natalie looks around, "I dare Harry and Bella to kiss."
"What?! Noo he's like my brother!" I say.
"Why not?" Harry says with his cheeky grin.
"Just do it," Brooke whispers in my ear, "he obviously wants to."
"Guys," I say, "that was a joke, Harry doesn't want to kiss me."
"Shit." Clayton says.
"What is it?" Brandon asks.
"Dad says we have to be home in 5 minutes," Clayton explains, "We have to go."
Everyone says bye.
"I should go to..." I say.
"Why?" Harry says, "because Brandon's leaving?"
"No," I say, "I don't want to get in trouble."
"Yeah I should go too," Lucy says.
Everyone leaves.
I bike home, and get in my pjs. As I'm getting in bed, my phone rings.
A text from Natalie.
Check Harry's ask.fm
Seriously.
I click the link from his Instagram bio.
I read the most recent question.
Answer honestly-who would you hu with in long island?

I laugh. It's a joke. Obviously, right? He doesn't think of me like that.
I text Natalie back.
