A/N: hello, humans of fanfiction! So I was bored and I decided to write this. Just warning you now this is my stress reliever story and will probably be really weird, but hopefully interesting. There will be a lot of unusual pairings and awkward sexual moments with people you normally wouldn't ship together, but I like to experiment. I'm going to try and keep people in character, but this is modern day AU so you never know.

6:00- 7:00

They sat in the large circle as they did every year since as long as the town of Panem could remember. This group had been coming for four years now, soon it would be a new grip of kids to come into this circle- this house- and have their lives changed forever.

Old beer bottles lay scattered on the floor, dust settling over most of them and some where so coated with dust that no one who still lived in the small town had seen the labels. A new one sat in the middle of the circle, shared by the teens about to commence in the biggest game of the year.

The old grandfather clock chimed six times, signalling the beginning of the game. It was the only day of the year where the sun sets at six and rises at six, the only day where the twelve hours of the game will be played at night. "Time to start and since we ended with me last year, it's only fitting for me to start" Finnick grinned.

"Just get on with it" Gale said, narrowing his eyes at the coppered haired man. Katniss was on his arm, that was enough for Gale to deeply despise the eighteen year old.

"Someone's touchy tonight" Cato said as Finnick spun the bottle. It spun and spun and spun until finally landing on Madge.

His best friend, Clove, laughed next to him. No one had really seen them apart. They came from the same foster home (only staying on their bastard foster parents good side to stay together) and had made sure to have all the same classes. They even both volunteered freshmen year to participate together. They only trusted each other. "His man period probably started today" Clove said.

Clove's comment went ignored by everyone but Gale and Cato when Finnick asked the Mayor's daughter "Truth or dare?"

"Truth" she said. She never wanted to be in this small group of kids. Most of them were delinquents or did bad things for money or came from broken homes. It didn't matter that Katniss was her best friend, she wasn't like her. But she was drawn and no one took her place. She didn't have much choice but to participate.

Finnck sighed, his hand brushing over his chin as he thought. "Are you a virgin? And if not, who deflowered you and when?" His voice was sickly sweet, but he was Finnick, the man on campus who fucked girls just to find out their secrets and the ones of others, nothing he did was sweet.

Madge but the inside of her lip. She knew she couldn't lie. It would somehow come during the game and her truths or dares to come will be worse than telling the truth. Her eyes traveled from Finnick to the ground. "Chaff, earlier this year in January."

"Not what I was expecting at all" Foxface, the biggest slut in the school, said. A smirk stretched across her thin lips and Madge sent her a glare. "Just spin, Madgey, before you become an old maid."

Madge took the bottle between her fingers, spinning it not as hard as Finnick, but it went around almost four times before landing on Thresh. The bottle barely moved before the large, dark-skinned man murmured, "dare."

She had always been bad at dares. "I dare you to go upstairs and try on Old Lady Maggs's clothes. And when I say clothes, I mean one of her dresses. And it wouldn't hurt if you try a bonnet and panty-hoes on. Y'know, to get the full effect." Old Lady Maggs (also known as Greasy Sae to some people) was the woman who originally owned the old shack the game was played in back when the town was first founded. She was a weird old woman and people always said she haunted the house. Thresh looked at her, his jaw slack.

"What the fuck?"

Some of the teens laughed. "Madge has finally grown a back bone" Johanna gave a crooked smile. "Well, go Thresh and don't forget the granny panties." Thresh walked up the stairs, getting a few congratulations for her first "semi-good dare."

It took Thresh almost a half hour before he marched down the creaking staircase in a moth eaten, old dress. He didn't say anything, he never did. He never talked except when he gave his punishments and said what he wanted, it was always dare. "Keep that on until the game ends" Madge said.

Thresh gave her a look of pure hatred and spun the bottle. It quickly stopped and landed on Peeta. "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth" Peeta said, his blue eyes remaining emotionless and dead.

"Most embarrassing moment?"

Peeta's eyes fell on Katniss and didn't waver for even a second as she looked away and her head fell into Finnick's shoulder. "Getting rejected by the person I love after admitting me feelings."

"We want some details, Peet" Gloss seethed.

"Don't call me that" Peeta snapped. "If you must know I told her I loved her since I first saw her sing in kindergarten. She rejected me, epically and then sucked off some guy's face right in front of me. Now she can't even look at me. Is that enough for you?"

Thrush shrugged and Peeta spun the bottle. It landed on Annie. "Truth or dare?" Peeta asked the crazy girl. Annie had gone mad the first time they played the game and she was dared to snap the neck of a rabbit and watched Cato decapitate another. She hadn't been all there in her head ever since.

"Truth" she whispered. She never picked dare. No one blamed her.

"What do you think of?" It was complete curiosity that made him ask. Her truths were always easy, Finnick assured of that. He felt so guilty about daring her to kill the rabbit and loose her mind. "What's going on inside that head or yours?"

"Cato with a bloody sword. He's always there- watching. He never moves just watches. And there's blood. Sometimes I'm just sitting somewhere and I'll be fine and all of a sudden everything is drenched in blood and I'm screaming. I can never stop screaming..." She trailed off.

After a short silence she spun the bottle. When it stopped it landed on Clove.
