Truth or Dare?!
haha yes that's my zekina fic!!
basically, that one continues tina's internal struggles from The Land Ship, Wag the Song, and Some Like It Bot. tammy causes her problems here, and with graduation right around the corner, tina wants to be remembered and make a good mark for herself at Wagstaff.
tammy is throwing an end of year party and doesn't invite tina. the first part of tina's "making a mark" plan is to get herself invited. at the party, she suggests playing Truth or Dare, sure that that's something that will help her spice it up.
however, those thoughts become insignificant as game ends up leaving her wondering if jimmy jr is really the one for her.
in it, i'm going to try and focus on the aspects of jimmy jr's character i love, and we're going to see exactly how much of an asshole jimmy sr really is. it's gonna be a story of finding love and acceptance, the two main focuses jimmy jr finding himself (with the help of his best friends) and (of course) tina and zeke falling in love along the way.
i've only got three chapters posted, but im excited to write the rest whenever it may be. here's a snippet tho :)
“Well?”
“I- I didn’t mean it all that much, I- I swear! Tammy and Jocelyn were just putting me under a lot of pressure to answer and a no just came out! You know I don’t do well under pressure!”
“But you always do this sort of thing, don’t you? You only care about Tina when another boy is involved. If it’s just you and her, her trying desperately to get you to notice her and how much she genuinely likes you, you ignore her or brush her to the side like a used napkin. And, you wanna know something about her? She’s such a nice person and likes you so much that she’s able to look past those qualities and focus on your few good ones. But you’ve gotta stop doing things like this! You can’t keep hurting her o-or leading her on, you-”
“Zeke, calm down. Why are you getting so worked up over this? It’s just one small thing that happened, and when we go back to school next week, things will get back to normal.”
“Because you know I like her too, Jimmy Jr.! And for so long I’ve stayed quiet and tried what I could to be your wingman because I know she doesn’t like me back and I just want her to be happy! But you make it really difficult sometimes and I’m finally sick of it. We’re entering high school, Jimmy, and things are going to be different. ‘Things will eventually just go back to normal’ can't be your solution to everything. So either you get your act together right now, or I’m leaving this party along with Tina and going to talk to her myself.”
