Just Friends

[Robbo!]

After one night and many dares, can they ever be "just friends" again?


Chapter 1

Mark had known these three people his entire life. They were his best friends in the world. They had lived in the same neighborhood, all went to the same high school, and they had all decided to go to the same college where they even lived in the same dormitory.

Mark was the smartest and the oldest, having been born in October. He was about 5'10" and wore mostly button-down shirts, jeans, and baseball caps. He was very studious and had been accepted into many ivy-league schools, but decided to go here in order to stick with his friends. Before tonight, he had never even masturbated, being so focused on his studies. Many people had thought him to be asexual.

"Hey, Mark." Said Jack as he entered the room and dropped his backpack on the floor. Jack was Mark's best friend and roommate. They had known each other since before grammar school.

Jack was the youngest of the four, having been born in July of the year after Mark. Jack was pretty strong, had sharp blue eyes, and was always wearing t-shirts, jeans and flip-flops, no matter what the season. He was very social and always invited people over, even when Mark was studying. He had a knack for trivia, especially sports and movie trivia, and he would go out partying regularly. Mark may have despised Jack's lifestyle, if he wasn't so fascinated by it. Occasionally, Mark would go to a small concert with Jack downtown, especially if it was a band Mark liked, but in the end, Jack would just end up drunk and making out with a girl he barely knew.

Directly downstairs from Mark and Jack's room, Sarah was straightening her hair. Sarah was obsessed with her looks. And the result was nothing short of fantastic. Her black hair always went perfectly straight down to her shoulders. Her make-up was always smooth and only accentuated her nearly perfect features, without seeming desperate. Her ruby red lips complimented her fantastic green eyes perfectly, and her bra kept her boobs at just the right perkiness. Often she'd wear a v-neck shirt and jeans, but only if the shirt matched her shoe color perfectly. Her sense of style was impeccable.

But she envied how easily her best friend and roommate Ashley could just roll out of bed, put on a regular shirt and jeans and go out looking just as stunning without any of the work or thought. Maybe it was Ashley's beautiful, dirty-blonde hair, or her enchanting hazel eyes, but she could be stunning without a thought about it. Sarah looked over at Ashley, who was napping. Even now, Sarah could see how attractive Ashley was and without any makeup at all.

Sarah threw her pillow at her roommate. "Wake up, Ashley!"
"Five more minutes." Groaned Ashley.
"No, now! We told the boys we'd meet them in the lobby at five in order to go eat before the basketball game. Now get up and get ready!"
"It's only 4:45."
"I know, get ready."
"I am ready." Ashley rolled over onto her stomach and looked at Sarah. "Why can't Luke come with me?"
"Because, Ashley," said Sarah, with a groan, "this is a friend thing. You and Luke are more than just friends. This is just something for the four of us; Mark, Jack, you and I. Plus, Luke is still at home. You're going to see him tomorrow."
"Ugh. Fine." Ashley rolled back over.

These four friends would soon make the most memorable Friday night ever. And not even remember it.

Chapter 2

The game was over around 8, so the four friends, happy with the victory went back to the boys' room. Everyone sat down, tired from cheering, but filled with the adrenaline that came with the victory.

"It's too early to do any partying downtown..." Jack said.
"It doesn't matter," replied Sarah, "tomorrow's a school day. I'm not getting wasted."
"Ditto," Mark chimed in.
"Well, what should we do?" Asked Jack, "There's nothing good on tv tonight."
"Let's play a game." Ashley suggested.

Murmurs of agreement filled the room. The last time they had played any game was a couple months ago, when they played Apples to Apples.

"But what game?" Mark asked.
"You know what I haven't played in ages?" Sarah said, soon answering herself, "Truth or dare."
"Oh my gosh, I haven't even thought of that game since, like, middle school." Ashley said.
"And you know what, come to think of it," Jack said, "I don't think we've ever played truth or dare together."

Jack was right. Mark had never played, Jack did once at his cousin's 15th birthday party. Sarah had played at a couple of parties that Ashley hadn't gone to because she was either on vacation or grounded. Ashley had played once at her older sister's birthday party.

"Okay," Mark said, "Who wants to start?"
"How about Ashley since she suggested it?" Jack offered.
"I didn't suggest it! Sarah did."
"Okay, fine," Sarah said, "Truth or daaaaaare.... Mark."

Mark was caught off-guard and in a panic said truth, thinking they would force him to do something against his moral code if he picked dare.

"Hmm... what to ask... there's quite a bit that'd be fun to get out in the open with you, Mark." Sarah thought for a minute, before asking "Are you still a virgin?"

Mark blushed a hot red immediately. It came as no surprise to his friends when he answered "no," but it was worth it to watch him get so embarrassed.

"Okay, your turn Mark," Sarah said.
"Umm... okay, umm... Ashley."
"Yes?" Ashley said.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare." She smoothly replied.

Mark, like a giddy school-kid unwrapping the present he always wanted told her to make out with Sarah. Jack lauded the dare and both boys got extremely excited watching the roommates kiss.

"Wait." Said Jack. "Before we move on, why don't we all have a drink?"
Jack reached into the back of the fridge and pulled out four bottles of beer.
"We have beer in here?" Asked Mark. "But we're underage! That's illegal!"
"Oh, quit being a whiner." Jack said, handing Mark a beer.
"No. I am not having any of this."
"I dare you to chug it." Ashley said.
"It's a dare. You gotta do it." Jack said.
"No, I don't." Mark said.
"Go on. It's not going to hurt you." Sarah said.

Reluctantly, Mark opened the bottle and started sipping. It tasted terrible, but he finished it off. The group continued with the dares, and they all continued drinking. At some point, Mark was forced to make out with Jack, as revenge for making Ashley make out with Sarah. Jack was forced to streak down the girls' hallway downstairs. Sarah was forced to eat a bug Jack had squished..

Soon enough, the dares just started to run together, and before anyone knew it, they were all asleep.

Chapter 3

Mark woke up naked. His head was pounding. He rubbed his eyes and reached for his glasses. His comforter felt pretty heavy. He put on his glasses and saw Ashley sleeping facedown naked beside him. Mark did the only logical thing he could do. Scream.

Ashley immediately woke up and Jack & Sarah both woke up on Jack's bed. "Mark, what's wrong?" Jack asked.
"Why is... what is... What the f*** happened last night?!?!" Mark stammered.
"Oh my God." Ashley said, turning away and covering her body in shame.
"Dude, I have no clue what happened. I was so f***ing hammered." Jack replied.
"We all were." Sarah agreed.

"Oh, my.. ugh... did we, er, did we do it?" Mark asked.
Ashley started tearing up. "What will I tell my mom? What will I tell Luke?"
"Ashley, don't talk like that." Sarah said.
"But what can I tell them? I just f***ed Mark! Yeah, if I just come out and say that, they'll love me forever. I was the good girl. My sister was the whore and now look at me." Mark started crying.
"No, Mark, it's okay," Ashley said, "I'm not ashamed that I did it with you, I'm just ashamed I did it at all."

"What did we do?" Mark asked, over and over again.

Jack tried figuring it out: "Well, let's see. We had just gotten back from the basketball game, and she asked if you were a virgin, and then you dared Ashley to kiss her, and then we dared you to drink and... and.."
"I think I remember Mark stripped for us. And then I did the same thing." Sarah said.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." repeated Mark.
"And I streaked down the girls' hall.."
"I think we watched you masturbate," Sarah chimed in to Jack.
Ashley and Mark sat naked on Mark's bed, looking down at their feet, ashamed, holding the comforter over their private parts as Jack and Sarah tried remembering everything they did. They found it very difficult to even make a short list of the dangerous actions they performed, and Jack said "Look. I know we did a lot last night: most of which we can't remember. But one thing I'm sure of is that we'll never tell anyone else. You got it? Only discuss the events of last night with us: nobody else."
"Agreed." Sarah said.
Mark simply said "Okay."
And through tears, Ashley also replied "Okay."

The foreseeable future of this story will show how each character deals with their actions and the results of the things they did.

Chapter 4: Mark

The girls had left, and Jack locked the door. Mark was still sitting on his bed, ashamed.

"It's okay, dude. We all did things we may regret last night." Jack assured, sitting on Mark's bed beside him. "I jacked off in front of everyone. You know how private that is?"
"You didn't lose your virginity." Mark said.
"I did." Jack admitted. "Sarah was my first time."

They both sat on the bed, contemplating the consequences of their actions.
"I'm sorry, I mean, I thought you had... you know, experience." Mark said. "Do you even remember what it was like?"
"I haven't a clue. I was wasted out of my mind."
"Me, too."

Mark laid on his side and curled into the fetal position.
"It's not your fault, Mark."


The next day, Mark walked across campus, thinking about it. He felt like he had finally seen life for what it really was. All of his innocence was gone. He now knew the taste of liquor and vaguely the taste of sex. He had transcended from more than just another virgin to something more. He had had sex. He only felt different. He knew that really, nothing had changed.

But still, he wanted to remember what it felt like. He wanted to have sex, but sober, so he could feel it all, and remember it. He wanted to remember the orgasm, the release. But he couldn't have sex with Ashley again. She wouldn't allow it. He wouldn't allow himself to it.

---

Jack unlocked and opened the door. Mark was naked with his balls cupped in his hands, trying to yank his dick this way and that. His hands were covered in what Jack had guessed accurately was vaseline.
"Oh, great, you're back!"
"Dude, what's wrong with you?" Asked Jack.
"Can you teach me how to masturbate? I've heard it's supposed to simulate sex."
"Dude?! What? No! That's something you just, you just, you know.. do."

Mark looked at Jack with the most dumbfounded look.

---

Late that night, Jack was asleep and Mark was on his computer, looking up porn and videos of men masturbating. He wanted to see how it was done, so he could imitate it. In the middle of it, he looked at Jack's bed with Jack sleeping peacefully and the glow of the computer screen's light off his face. How did he masturbate so effortlessly? How was he able to do it so quickly in front of everybody? Mark wondered as some porn finally loaded on his computer.

---

Mark was walking down the stairs, thinking of all the images of scantily clad women and men jacking it. He was on the way to class when he ran into Ashley. "Oh! Mark! You're just who I've been looking for. Come with me."
"I've got class."
"I've got something to tell you Mark. It's very important."

oooh. i wonder what is is. ;)

Chapter 4: Sarah

Sarah had fallen in love with Jack. As she walked back from Jack & Mark's room, there was nothing she could think about except for a few dares from last night, particularly watching Jack masturbate. She remembered that during that dare, Jack had looked right into Sarah's eyes.

Once Sarah and Ashley got back to the room, Sarah locked the door and they undressed, in order to change out of last night's clothes.
"Are you happy?" Ashley asked Sarah.
"You know what, Ashley," Sarah said, "I know you aren't, and I can't blame you for that, but yeah, I actually kind of am happy."
Despite the dried tear streaks on her face, Ashley said "And I'm happy for you. You finally got the man you always wanted."

Ashley was right. Sarah had always wanted to be with Jack. Ever since about 6th grade, when she started puberty and finally noticed how handsome Jack was. Ever since about that time, there was some sexual tension between the two of them. It was fairly obvious, especially to Mark and Ashley that they should date. They went to prom together (but just as friends), and they had always been single. There was only once when Jack dated this girl named Teresea and Sarah dated a boy named Paul.

Neither of those relationships lasted long at all, and everyone involved kind of knew that they were a joke.

The Monday after the truth or dare night, Sarah saw Jack going to his mailbox. All of a sudden, a thought came to her head. Maybe if she squeezed his butt as she walked past, he would look up and smile at her in that way he does, with exasperation and amusement.

She decided to do it, so she walked down the hall and squeezed Jack's butt as she walked past.

Jack immediately jumped up and asked "What the hell are you doing?!"

Chapter 5: Jack

After the girls left, Jack laid back down on his bed, hands behind his head, smiling. He had just had sex with Sarah, the girl he had loved as long as he could remember feelings of affection. He hopped down and locked his door. He looked over at Mark. Mark looked so pathetic.

"It's okay, dude. We all did things we may regret last night." Jack assured, sitting on Mark's bed beside him. "I jacked off in front of everyone. You know how private that is?"
"You didn't lose your virginity." Mark said.
"I did." Jack admitted. "Sarah was my first time."

They both sat on the bed, contemplating the consequences of their actions.
"I'm sorry, I mean, I thought you had... you know, experience." Mark said. "Do you even remember what it was like?"
"I haven't a clue. I was wasted out of my mind."
"Me, too."

That was a lie. If Jack knew anything, it was how to control his liquor. He fully remembered almost every detail of that night, especially the fantastic and indescribable feeling of coital orgasm. He looked beside him at Mark curled in the fetal postion. Sex had really fucked him up.
"It's not your fault, Mark." Jack assured him.

The next day, Jack sat in his room, alone, looking up at his bed and thinking of what had happened there. He looked at Mark's and thought of how Mark had been devastated on that bed just a day earlier.

Jack had provided the drinks for everyone and they had all grown ashamed. They had been virgins together and lost their virginity together. It was because of him that Ashley cheated on her boyfriend. He thought of taking his stash of beer and throwing it away, but opted against it, seeing as beer isn't that cheap.

Instead, he decided not to lead Sarah on and avoid her as much as possible. He couldn't afford to be in a relationship, especially not after how they had gotten together. What would he tell his mother? "I'm going out with Sarah now." "Oh, that's great honey, when did you decide this?" "Right in the middle of sex with her."

No way. Jack would just avoid Sarah and act like nothing had ever happened.

The day thereafter, Monday, Jack was checking the mail. Sarah grabbed his ass. "Woah! What the hell are you doing?!"

Sarah's disappointment was visible immediately after Jack said those words. "What?" She asked meekly, like a child being yelled at for doing something they were unaware they did.

"Why the hell did you just do that?"
"Because, well, I, um... I thought we, you know... had a thing.."
"Had a thing? No, no way. That was just one dare, one night. Please, don't make it anything more."

"But I thought it was something more." Sarah said, tears forming in her eyes.
"Well, you were wrong." Jack said.
"You told me you loved me." Sarah started bawling.

It was then that Jack realized he had been a bit harsh and impulsive. He hadn't taken Sarah's feelings into account at all when he decided to ignore Friday night's events.

Sarah turned away, but Jack put his hand on her shoulder. He embraced her as she started crying.

"No, Sarah, I do love you. I always have. It's just, I don't know. Mark was so ashamed that he had sex, and well, I figured I should be too."
"Why would you be ashamed of something you always wanted to do?"

Jack hugged her even more tightly. "I'm sorry I said those mean words, Sarah. I love you."
"So, does this mean we're together?"
"Yes. I think it does."

Jack and Sarah shared a long kiss.
