Nova

"Welcome to nerve. A game like truth or dare minus the truth. Watchers pay to watch players play to win cash and glory—are you a watcher or a player?"

"What are you gonna sign up as? because you know choosing player requires you to actually leave the house." My Best Friend Melanie's voice rung out through the FaceTime call

"I do leave the house." I spat "I'm out right now." I panned the camera around allowing Mel to see the surroundings of the grocery store

"Seriouly Nov when was the last time you left the house to do something—fun?"

I opened my mouth to say something, and soon closed it

Mel was right.

I hadn't really done anything fun lately

"I don't know." I shrugged

"My point exactly."

"Okay...so watcher it is." I exhaled as I pressed my finger against the screen choosing the watcher option, I registered my I.D. and paid the twenty dollar fee and here I was standing in the middle of an empty grocery store watching people play this stupid game.

Shawn

"Shawn please don't tell me you're actually about to do this." Ian said as he trailed behind me

"I gotta do it for the watchers." I smiled at the camera watching as the views continued to skyrocket, and comments continuously rolled in faster than I could read.

I noticed a crowd of people following a safe distance behind me filming me on their smartphones

simply because, they knew what was about to happen.

see my dare was something quite simple

streak

in a grocery store

and serenade a stranger

for five seconds

I was in the top ten on this app

and this dare would for sure

put me up to at least the third spot

I peered into the grocery store window only to see that it was fairly empty

there were roughly twenty people in the store

"Hey Shawn you only have one minute and twenty seconds to complete the dare."

"Fuck." I quickly scrambled out of my clothes and pulled my phone up to my face "You guys ready for this?"
