Mae's pov

I stood in the front of my mirror trying to decide whether to wear a summer dress or shorts and top as I didn't know what Rafe had in store for me. I ran a hand back through my hair frustrated, my fingers slipping out of the short strands as fell to my side with an annoyed thud.

I groaned as I surveyed the dress with a white undertone with a green flowery print. It was a midi dress with a straight neckline and tight bodice before it flowed at the waist allowing for easy movement. I sighed to myself and decided I was just going to stick with it.

I grabbed my phone and shoved on some sneakers before I raced out the door heading in the school's direction. The warm breeze whipped around my shoulders and I allowed my muscles to relax at the sensation. I closed my eyes for a brief moment as I approached the school's entrance before opening to see a smirking Rafe whose eyes flicked up and down my body.

"A dress Murchison?" he taunted as I rolled my eyes before taking in his appearance. He was wearing a loose polo shirt and had the first few buttons undone showing his tanned body underneath with a pair of denim shorts.

"A polo shirt with a few button undone Cameron?" I retorted quickly a teasing smile playing at my lips. I walked up to him as his hand reached out for mine, his fingers effortlessly slipping into mine. I smiled as he grinned down at me a sparkle of enthusiasm and mischief in his eye.

"Ready for dare night?" I asked sweetly but a devilish look shone in my eyes.

"More then ready. I'm going first by the way"he said as he pulled me into the school's ground making his way to the gymnasium which got me rather intrigued because my first dare was also going to based in the gymnasium.

"So what is going to be your first dare?" I asked scanning the gymnasium trying to see some clues or sight of something I was going to use for my dare. I saw some discarded balls and jump ropes but that was all.

"Well, I had something in mind which involves jumping and hitting" he said as I furrowed my eyebrows in response, what the heck did that mean? His hand left mine leaving a cold patch as he jogged over to the large trampoline used for gymnastics and smiled wickedly.

"Rafe...?" I queried as his eyebrows raised up in excitement. I moved slowly over the trampoline running my fingers over it's edges. I was also silently praying I wouldn't break a bone with whatever dare he had in mind.

"There is no way you'll jump and hit that small red circle on the wall" He said as my lips parted in amusement and wonder of whether I could jump that high. I gazed up at the small red dot and scratched my neck, it quite far up the wall. Nevertheless he had dared me and I wasn't going to back down from Rafe Cameron.

I sighed and nodded silently before hoisting my self onto the trampoline as Rafe stood expectantly. I breathed out deeply before I took a few jumps. I was still no where near reaching the red dot. I continued to edge closer each time when I saw Rafe bang his hands on the trampoline. He was double bouncing me!

The next thing I knew I was twice as far in the air and the red dot right beside me. I quickly whacked my hand on it before descending downwards where a grinning Rafe waited. I stopped bouncing after a few seconds, glaring and scolding Rafe when my view was suddenly blocked by flowery fabric.

I felt the air whip around my thighs,  my dress had hiked up leaving my underwear exposed for all to see. I was now blushing furiously as I pulled it down utterly embarrassed and regaining my vision. Why didn't I think of this? For someone who is academically talented should've foreseen this but yet common sense did not come into play. 

I made brief eye contact with Rafe as I made my way off of the trampoline, his cheeks ever so slightly flushed. I raked a hand back through my hair as I bit my lip; a nervous response.

"Don't be so blushy.. you've seen things before" I wittily stated wanting take the focus off of myself and switch it onto him. I looked up to see him gulp and his blue eyes shine with amusement and embarrassment.

"Yeah, well I've never seen baby blue" he stated back as brought a hand up to cover my now very pink face. Gosh, he knew how to taunt me.

"My turn!" I yelled abruptly wanting this underwear teasing to take a back seat. I watched as a small frown appeared on his lips as I wandered over towards the equipment room.

I clambered around for a good minute and I could feel Rafe's watchful eyes burning into my back. I sighed triumphantly when I managed to find what I was looking for.

"Got it!" I squealed excitedly rushing back out of the equipment room to face Rafe. His once joyful gaze sunk to the bottom of the ocean when he saw what I was holding. It was a wobble board or a balance board which ever you prefer. Judging by Rafe's deep groan and worried eyes he preferred neither.

"Minnie Mae are you-" he started but I eagerly cut him off.

"Rafe Cameron, there is no way you'll stand on this for 1 minute" I chimed and placed the board in front of him. His head ducked down to look at the board as I grabbed out my phone to use as a timer.

"You're right! There is no way!" He whined and ran a hands back through his hair. I sighed and pressed my lips together in a frown as I looked at him.

"Why not?" I obliviously asked and raised an concerned eyebrow. He rocked on his feet and a small blush formed on his cheeks as he was contemplating what to say.

"I don't have very good balance" he muttered and kept his eyes to the ground as I stepped forward to meet him. I extended my hand out towards him, my fingers skimming under his chin before tilting his head up. 

"Rafe...just hold onto my shoulders" I whispered encouragingly, usually I would exploit things like this but however I needed to stop being so harsh. The corners of his lips turned up slightly into a coy smile as he breathed out.

He stepped forward onto the shaky board but the board wasn't the only thing shaking, Rafe's knees were uneasily shaking. His hands lunged for my shoulders as his body moved in uneasy directions. He gripped my shoulders harshly, his nails digging into my back slightly as I bit my lip to stop a hiss from rolling off my tongue.

"There you go" I said as I watched Rafe's terrible balancing skills, he was correct, he didn't have good balance at all.  I flicked my eyes down to his feet as I counted down from 60 under my breath.

"Done!" I chimed as Rafe quickly steps off the board, but not backwards, forwards. There he stood, chest to chest with me, hands on my shoulders as I looked up curiously. He gently pushed on my shoulders as he spun me around a small gasp slipping from my lips. I wasn't sure why he had spun me, maybe it was a clue? 

My thoughts were swiftly interrupted by Rafe's low voice in my ear, ever so wicked as he whispered.

"Your turn M&Ms"
