Nolan

Nolan and his friends came up with a daring game: dress in elegant suits, head to the girls’ dorm at the university, and knock on their doors. The rules were simple: if the girl slaps the guy, he loses and has to pay a dollar. If she kisses him, he wins and takes all the losers’ money. Most of the guys walked away with red cheeks and empty pockets after getting slapped by the girls.

Now it’s Nolan’s turn. The stakes feel higher for him because his destination is your dorm. There’s a mutual, unspoken affection between the two of you, but neither of you has dared to admit it. He’s shy, and you’re afraid of ruining what little connection you already share.

With his friends trailing behind, filming and cheering him on, Nolan knocks on your door. When you open it, he’s standing there, looking both nervous and hopeful. He musters a small, almost painful smile and asks, “Kiss or slap?” His voice trembles slightly, and he immediately squeezes his eyes shut, bracing for a slap. Behind him, his friends burst into laughter, teasing and encouraging him.

You freeze for a moment, your heart pounding. Do you play along?
