Zach sighed and held his hand out for the cell phone. Liz selected Mr. Solomon's number and put it on speaker, motioning for us to be quiet. Mr. Solomon picked up after two rings.
"Hello?"
"Hello. Is this, uh, Joey?" I stifled a giggle at Zach. He raised the pitch of his voice and sounded like a 9 year old boy going through puberty.
"It's Joe."
"Well, yes. I am calling to explain the rules to Monopoly."
"Excuse me?"
"Place the board on a table and put the Chance and Community Chest cards face down on their allotted spaces on the board. Each player chooses one token to represent him/her while traveling around the board. Each player is given $1500 divided as follows: 2 each of $500's, $100's an-"
"I'm sorry, who is this again?" Mr. Solomon cut in.
"Um, it's Grace. Grace Walters."
"Well, Grace, it's been lovely speaking to you, but I have to go." We heard the beep that signified Mr. Solomon had hung up.
We all looked at each other, until Macey giggled. "Grace? Seriously? You couldn't think of anything better?"
"Well, I was mad a Grant, and Grace kinda sounds like Grant." Zach shrugged. "And Walters is Tina's last name, so…"
"Why were you thinking about Tina?" I questioned, looking at Zach.
"I don't know," Zach said truthfully. "It was the first name that popped into my head after all of yours."
Bex snorted. "Grace. I'm going to call Grant Grace from now on. Don't you guys thin Grace Newman has a nice ring to it?"
Zach reached towards the bottle and spun it, hard. It stopped at Macey. "Mace, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Which Gallagher Girl do you like best?"
Macey flushed red. "I like them all equally."
"Answer the question, Mace," Bex said. "I kinda want to know, too."
"I strip," Macey said, and the boys doubled over in laughter at her indignation. Macey pulled off a sock and threw it in the middle of the circle.
"Designer socks? What are those, Calvin Klein? Macey, nobody even sees your socks," Grant said in exasperation and amusement.
"Well, it could ruin my image if I bought normal socks from, like, Target, or something," she pretended to shudder. She spinned the bottle, and it stopped at Bex.
"Truth or dare, Rebecca?"
"Dare. And don't call me Rebecca."
"I dare you to let Grant write the words 'British Bombshell' with black Sharpie on your forehead, and you can't wash it off until after breakfast tomorrow." Macey grinned.
"Oh, yes!" Grant rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Bex looked annoyed. "Um, no. Have you seen Grant's handwriting?" Bex said. "It's goddamn awful. Liz can write it. Her writing is literally a font."
"Okay." Macey handed a Sharpie to Liz, who reluctantly took it and wrote the words 'British Bombshell' in neat print on Bex's forehead.
Bex spinned the bottle and when it landed on me, she reached up to touch the lettering on her head.
"Cammie." Bex grinned. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to go outside and offer the first person you see a packet of M&Ms and tell the person that you want to marry them. And that you like pickle juice with your sandwiches."
"Bex? You do realize that it's the middle of the night? And no one is going to be randomly walking around?"
"Eh. You'll find someone. We can come with you, but not with you. We'll just be a bit behind."
We had walked around the streets two times so far and we had seen no one.
"Guys!" I said urgently.
"What?" Zach said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but I think I finished the M&Ms."
"Fine. Whatever. You owe me a pack of candy now," Macey said.
"Cammie!" Nick said through the comms unit I was wearing.
"What?"
"There's a person walking - to your left."
I looked to my left. There was nobody there. I heard whispering on the other side of the comms unit and the words 'you dumbass' very distinctly, and then Nick spoke again.
"Just kidding, Cammie. The person is to your right."
I turned the other way and saw the faint silhouette of a boy.
"Excuse me, but I have to confess that I am very much -"
"Cammie?"
"Josh?"
