On the night of new-years eve, people filtered into our house and we sat them down and cracked open a few drinks. When Carrie got to Cassa de Cherimon, she gave me a flirty look and sat close to me on the floor. Very close. "Ooh!" Teased Dan as Carrie grabbed some of the popcorn in front of her, "Bit close to your soon-to-be collegue,aren't we, Carrie?"

He got salted popcorn thrown in his face.

A couple of glasses of wine, a bottle of beer and a shot later, he is even more idiotic and suggests a game of spin the bottle, truth or dare style and Charlie and his girlfriend, Bryarly, were the only ones who didn't participate. Even Phil did, which suprised me. the only girls playing were Carrie, Lex, and a girl called Izzie who had recently started YouTube because she had been forced into it by Dan. Izzie had been studying in America, but had recently returned and was staying with Phil and Dan, as the latter was her cousin.

As Dan span the bottle for the first round, everyone leaned closer to see who it would point to. Me, Alex. I groaned. "Mr Day. I dare you to perform Gangnam Style and film it, before posting it to your YouTube account for all to see."

"but why?"

"Do it."

I sighed and set up my camera. "Oppan Gangnam style..." I sang to the recording machinery. I could always Have taken it down.

Round two and I span. Dan. Yes, yes, yes. "Who was the first girl you kissed." I asked after he 'truth-ed'

"Lets see... I was fourteen. Her name was... Amelia, I think. Next." And he span the bottle. Phil.

"Oh no."

"Phillip, I dare you to snog the person that this bottle spins onto."

The bottle was span and it landed pointing towards... Izzie. Her eyes widened and so did Phil's and Dan's. "B-but I didn't even say-" began Phil.

"Save it, Phil. I wanna see this." Carrie grinned. We cheered her.

Then Izzie smiled. "Fine. Come on, Lester." She leant forwards. "What's the matter? Afraid you might like it?" She purred.

Phil sighed. "Fine."

They leant in and kissed, earning wolf-whistles from me and the other lads. Dan winced as his best friend frenched his cousin. Ouch.


CARRIE

After Phil and Izzie stopped snogging, Izzie chuckled and said something unexpected. "Your face,"She pecked him on the cheek, "for the record, tastes awesome." She moved back into the circle formed.

Then, I heard Dan mutter something I didn't expect from him exceedingly quietly. "I love risking brain damage." As if on Phil's behalf.

That night when everyone went home, Dan staggered to a cab with Phil and Izzie not far behind. The atmosphere between the three was unbearable.
