"Okay, Claire, I dare you to..." Alicia trailed off. "Kiss Josh!!" Massie suddenly said.
"What?!" Claire blurted, sprinkling her drink from her mouth everywhere. Everyone laughed out loud, but Claire stayed serious. "What?" Massie asked, still laughing, "I mean, you guys kissed – like – a long time ago. It should be ancient history by now. Right?"

Still.

Alicia stiffened a little too. Massie was drinking way too much. "Um, Massie, I think you've had a little too much to drink," Alicia told her. Everyone giggled. Massie looked at Alicia and asked very directly, "What did you say?"
"Wh-I just said you're drinking a little too much. That's all."

"So… I sound drunk? I'm acting drunk? Nuh-uh. Massie Block, never seems drunk. She never gets drunk, not with this little."

"Okay, first of all Massie, this is my dare. Second, I never said you looked drunk. It's just that you're drinking a little more than normal."
"Does this seem like a lot to you or something?"

They stared at each other for a long time. "Fine," Alicia finally said, "Claire, I dare you to kiss Derrick – French kiss." Massie froze. That dare was forbidden – no, no one ever stated the rule verbally or anything, but it was just something everyone knew. It was common sense.
"Um," Claire muttered, "Derrick?" Alicia nodded.

"Come on, you know the rules. Once you're in the game, you stay until everyone's had enough."

"I've had enough," Massie interjected.

"I haven't, girl," Derrick smiled as all the other girls giggled. He took a seat next to Massie and took a sip of Massie's drink. "What's the dare?"

"Alicia dared Claire to French kiss a certain boy," Kristin grinned.

"Hope it's me," Derrick laughed. Massie gasped. There was a silence. "…What?" he said.

"It is you," Alicia said trying to stay serious – she couldn't though. She laughed out loud with everyone else.

"Well, " Derrick began, "Claire?"

Massie wanted to slap both Alicia and Derrick. What do they think they're doing? Massie's head was clouding up. She felt dizzy. Maybe she did have too much to drink.

Claire looked around and sighed. "Let's just get this over with," she said not enthused at all. She grabbed Derrick's neck and kissed him – French style. Everyone around them hooted extra loud. "Go Derrick!!" some of the guys around watching shouted. Derrick held Claire's hips, but Claire tried to get him off. She placed her hands on his shoulders, signaling that that was enough. He used more tongue as every second passed though.

Massie couldn't believe her eyes. Derrick was enjoying the kiss! Claire was the one who wanted to stop the kiss. She wanted to tell people, 'I know, Claire just wouldn't stop kissing him!! He was repelling her – you saw it right!' But, it was kind of too obvious what was happening. Her mind swirled even faster. She held her stomach.

"Get off!" Claire managed through her teeth. She pushed Derrick off with her best might, and he went down tumbling down right next to Massie – where he supposedly belonged. He had a huge grin on his face.
