This is a bad idea. I know this is a bad idea. In fact, this is an opportunity for death to come knocking at our doors. Great, don't you think?
"No," I said, immediately.
"Yes," Rollan said, immediately.
I hated truth or dare. I mean, who doesn't? Well, who doesn't except for the people that do? Not me, no. I definitely HATE truth or dare. I love watching people get dared, but really? Participating? Ew, gross.
Of course, if people were going to torture me, why not torture others? By "others" I meant, of course, the one and only Scarlet. "Hey," I said, "let's invite Scarlet and her new found boyfriend."
Rollan and Abeke thought it was a great idea. And of course, all great idea turn out to be disasters.
X~x~X
Imagine this. You are in a situation where peer pressure takes over your ability to say no. And that situation includes a haunted house, your best friend and her boyfriend, and four fictional character heroes.
That's how I'm feeling right now.
"Why did we have to do this in a haunted house?" asked Scarlet, shuddering.
"And why did we have to do this at night?" asked Meilin. "I mean I'm fine with it, but I'm asking on the behalf of Rollan over here who's scared."
"You're really bad at lying," I say.
Meilin would have killed me if it weren't for Abeke who said something worse. "Because it's cute to see you and Rollan cuddle together."
Meilin would have killed Abeke if it weren't for Conor who said something even worse. "Because you claim to not be afraid of the dark and you claim to hate Rollan. And the nature of humans is to prove people wrong."
No one could top that, so for a reward, Conor got the title 'punching bag'. I congratulated him.
"Let's just begin," Abeke said, siting on the ground of the haunter house on Greenhaven island. "I'll go first. Jordan, truth or dare?"
"Truth," Jordan said, right after Abeke asked.
"I dare you to-"
"I said truth"
Abeke shrugged. "Okay then, I truth you to kiss one of the ladies here. Meilin, Me, Alice or, of course, your bae Scarlet."
"You can't do that!" Scarlet yelled. "He picked truth!"
Rollan smirked. "Defending your boyfriend, aren't you?"
"We just met. We can't date until we- until- until we're sixteen."
Jordan looked angry. But of course, in the dim light of a candle, I couldn't see much of his raging face. "Why?"
"Because- because we just met!" Scarlet exclaimed.
But something looked familiar about Jordan. So familiar it was fishy.
"Just do the dare- er- truth," I say, not lifting my eyes off Jordan's fishy face.
Jordan shook his head. "I picked truth."
Abeke rolled her eyes. "Fine, chicken. Who would you kiss between the girls here if you had to pick one."
"Out of the girls here?" asked Jordan.
"STOP STALLING!" Rollan, Meilin, Conor and I yell, at the same time.
"Alright, alright," Jordan began, "Scarlet."
I think Abeke might have screamed but it might have been so high pitched only the dogs could hear it.
"My turn," Jordan said. "Truth or dare, Conor?"
"TRUTH!"
"Who would you kill if you had to and why?"
I bet he was going to say Shane.
"Shane," Conor muttered. "Because I want him to die."
"Bad move," Rollan whispered.
Abeke and Scarlet slapped him across the face.
Conor grumbled. "To thank you for your help, Rollan, truth or dare?"
"Dare"
"I dare you to kiss Meilin for at least twenty seconds," Conor said.
"I am not a prostitute," Rollan stated.
Conor shrugged. "Prostitutes don't just kiss, they-"
"WE GET THE PICTURE!" Abeke yelled.
"Well I'm not sixteen," Rollan stated. "I'm twelve. I don't make out."
I wanted to say something but it could cause me a serious injury so I decided against it.
Rollan rolled his eyes and did what he was told.
Now, don't get me wrong. They weren't doing super gross stuff, they were just kissing, not on the ground or anything. I just didn't want to describe the scene. It's kind of gross to watch twelve year olds make or for twenty seconds. Even of they were probably faking.
Abeke, Jordan and I looked away while Scarlet and Conor were doing the opposite of looking away.
I'm pretty sure Abeke took a few peeks.
After twenty seconds I decided to say something. "You realized you were making out in front of us inside a haunted house, right?"
Meilin paused. Rollan shrugged.
"Oh," Meilin said, bitting her lip.
Rollan and Meilin sat back down. "Let's get the girl who's typing to do something. Alice, truth or dare?"
I freaked out. "After I just witnessed that, truth."
"Who do you like in your school?"
"I'm done with crushes already,"I responded.
Rollan smirked. "Then who was your last crush?"
I wanted to break something. Preferably Rollan's back.
"Fine. His name is-"
Hey, I write these things. I don't have to say his name if I don't want to.
Scarlet already knew so, there was no harm in telling her. The others couldn't do anything about it since they have no idea who he was.
At least it was my turn. I knew who and what to ask. I knew he was a coward. "Jordan, truth or dare?"
"Why does everyone choose me? Truth."
I squinted my eyes at him. "Who are you really?"
Jordan pretended to be confused. "Jordan, a Greencloak!"
"No, you aren't. You're from our world, aren't you?"
"I-"
"You better tell the truth," I cut off.
Jordan sighed. "Okay, Alice, relax." Jordan then turned to Scarlet. "You two named me Jordan."
"You're- But how- I thought- Jordan, you like me?" Scarlet exclaimed. "Really?"
Jordan laughed innocently. He pulled out a water bottle and wiped off his makeup.
"Why are you here?" Rollan asked. "And how did you get here if you're from earth?"
Jordan sighed. "The alien institute sent me here to tell you, Alice and Scarlet, that it's your time to go home."
"I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!" I yell.
Jordan continued as if he didn't hear me. "But there's one problem. Meilin, Rollan, Conor, Abeke, you have to come with them."
And so we left.
Sorry for not updating in so long.
I can't believe Walking on Erdas is finished! It's been eight months. Wow I'm sad. But don't worry, my friend Scarlet will be writing Walking on the Earth two.
