PREFACE: This book contains some heavy topics, including schizophrenia and self-harm. Anyone who suffers from self-harm or a disorder such as schizophrenia, psychosis or anything else that causes hallucinations should be mindful of their own triggers when reading. There will be trigger warnings on chapters that I deem necessary.
Josh's POV:
"Alright, truth or dare, Josh?" JJ grinned.
"Hmm... Dare." I said confidently.
"We need to think of a good one for him. He'll do literally anything." Ethan laughed.
"Ooh, I've got an idea. Who can we make him ask out?" JJ said deviously.
"Who's the weirdest person in the year?" Ethan grinned.
"Simon Minter, with a doubt." JJ said.
"Why's he weird?" Ethan asked.
"He got pulled out of a mock exam last year because he wouldn't stop talking to himself." JJ laughed.
Okay, yeah, he was weird.
"You want me to ask out a guy?" I asked. This might be the one dare I couldn't do.
"You're bi, aren't you?" JJ asked.
"Yeah, but if he tells somebody, I'll get the shit kicked out of me." I said. "I'm sorry, but that's the one thing I'm not doing, I'm not outing myself to anyone until I've left this place."
"Okay, we'll change it slightly. You've got to make him fall in love with you." Ethan snickered.
"No fucking way. He'd know I was joking if I spoke to him in person." I said. "Plus, is he not straight?"
"Not a chance. Message him and use a fake name or something, if you can't do it in person." JJ suggested.
"You really think he'd respond to someone he doesn't know?" I asked, hesitant.
"He has no friends, Josh. Stop trying to pussy out of it." JJ laughed.
"Alright, fine. I'll make the account now, put up a few posts, and try to make it look legit. I'll message him tomorrow." I told him.
"You better show us the proof." He grinned.
"It's the shittest dare ever, by the way. It's not one I can do right now. It'll take a while." I said
"Alright, eat a packet of salt right now then." He shrugged.
"Done." I ripped the top off and poured it into my mouth.
Ethan and JJ's faced dropped in disgust.
"You're sick, mate." JJ grimaced.
