A/N: hello everyone! Sorry I've been away forever, school's ALREADY hard and homework just keeps piling up. Sorry if it's a terrible chapter, I got up at six am this morning and it's 7:30 now. Ah well, I've had some hot chocolate so I should be ready to go. (I don't really like coffee). Thanks for voting on who's gonna be in the chapter. I can personally guarantee the tripod and Jason, but Chance is a difficult character for me to write so I'm not sure whether or not he'll come in to this chapter. Sorry!

To VN (Yeah it was the shortest): Sorry you thought it was an update. Hope school's going okay for you! And here you go, the update is comin' up soon! Also, thanks for the suggestions. *insert evil laugh here*

To Supernaturalfan: yeah it's my new all time favorite movie.

To Sara: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Glad you're reading the story! =)

To any other reviewer: Thanks!

Now the disclaimer, than the story!

*woof woof!* What's that Coop? I don't own Virals? *sob*

ON WITH THE STORY

Beep. Beep. I roll over and hit the alarm. It stops. I get up and shower, blow dry, and get on my uniform, yanking a brush through my hair. Another school day.

Blargh.

I go downstairs and grab breakfast. Kit's already gone. As usual. I pile my stuff into my backpack, lace up my shoes and head to the ferry.

"I'm impressed." Shelton actually did the dare. Jacket turned inside-out, everything else... the whole deal. Giving him a thumbs up, I go to find the rest of the group. Ben's staring out the side of the boat, thinking about who-knows-what. I tap him on the shoulder. He jumps.

"Jeez Tor, don't sneak up on me like that!" I smile.

"Maybe you should pay more attention to what's going on behind you." He grins ruefully.

"Guess so. What's up?"

"Truth or Dare. We are continuing this. I believe you were up next?" he nods.

"You believe correctly. Have you found Hi?" I shake my head no. "I think I saw him that way."

"Thanks." He makes to duck out of sight. "No way. You're staying. What's up with this anyway? I never took you for a coward."

"Nothing!" he says vehemently. Suddenly Shelton appears to my left.

"Go find Hi. I got him." He says.

"If you say so," I say doubtfully. I follow where Ben pointed to find Hi doing his homework. "Really?" I ask him.

"What? Truth or dare kind of took over the weekend!" he protests.

"Speaking of which, we're continuing it." he groans but gets up to follow. Sadly, we're already there.

"School then. Lunch time?"

"Fine by me."

We all head to our lockers, except Shelton, who's already been stopped by a teacher.

*Time skip to Lunch time*

"Did you get in trouble?" I ask the moment Shelton sits down, jacket now right-side-in.

"I argued out of it. So long as I never do it again, I'm good."

"Good good. We can continue. Shelton?" I prompt.

"Oh. Right. Ben, truth or dare?" he asks.

"Dare." he says shortly. Jeez, Ben's not in the greatest of moods.

"Okay I dare you to... Go to the middle of the cafeteria and yell as loud as you can, 'I lost my voice and I can't find it!'" (Credit goes to VN for this one)

"Fine. I double dare." The first one.

"Are you sure you want to use it now?" I ask cautiously.

"Yep." Shelton's gone pale.

"Great..." he says. Ben marches up to the middle, Shelton trailing anxiously behind. I can almost see it happening, even though our table's near the back. I start the countdown in my head. In 3... 2... 1... In chorus, the two boys start shouting. Some laugh. Others pretend to whip out magnifying glasses. I can't help it, I laugh myself. At that moment, Jason, comes up.

"What's so funny?" He asks, though I can see he knows exactly what's happened.

"Truth or dare." I reply simply.

"Thought so." He said, eyes twinkling with mirth. Just then Ben walks back to the table, followed by a blushing Shelton. The tension is tangible. I try to diffuse it.

"Jason? Do you want to join? It's Ben's turn." I pull out the contract. "You'll have to sign here though," I say, gesturing the contract. I had a feeling I'd need it. He scans it.

"Fair enough." I hand him a pen. He signs. I take a look at his signature.

Jason Taylor

It's nice enough. Strangely similar to Ben's though. I nod.

"On with the game then." Just then Ashley walks past, flanked by Courtney and Madison, as usual.

"What's up Jason?" Ashley coos, oblivious to the rest of her surroundings. Good.

"Playing truth or dare with Tory and them." he answers. She turns to us, disdain flashing in her gaze.

"Care to join us? Truth or dare isn't fun at all anyway." She says slowly. Courtney, airhead that she is, looks at Ashley in amazement.

"But... We play it all the time! You said it's one of the most awesome games ever!" She gasps.

"When it's played with the right people." Ashley says. I'm surprised. It's actually a good comeback. Jason then does the unthinkable.

"Care to play with us?" He asks.

"Wait-" I start to say, but am cut off with an energetic

"Yes!" from Courtney.

"Fine." says Ashley, giving her long hair a toss. Madison just nods. I have one last resort, but Jason just keeps talking, and it's too late.

"You just need to sign here."

They all sign. And the game begins.

A/N: Sorry sorry sorry sorry! I've been crazy busy with debate and school and newspaper and I've been doing everything I can to save up enough money to buy Blood of Olympus and I've been super busy so so sorry. Anyway, Hopefully homework'll ease off soon and I can update more! Sorry if it's a really bad chapter, I'm kind of half asleep. Anyway,
