I could feel what Zach was. He was scared but was trying to keep it from me. I could feel his stress that he was keeping from his hand.
I watched the thing drag its feet, looking around with its bleary eyes. Its tongue flopped out for a second then slapped itself against its teeth as though making them wet, which it did because its saliva seemed to be endless and sloshed out like a dog's.
We watched it until it left.
I let out my breath, which I had been holding once Zach moved his hand. I stayed with my back to him and didn't say a word.
"Zach?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" He said in an equally quiet voice.
"What was that?"
He thought it over and I could feel his confusion. "I don't know."
13 people were sitting in Danielle Helman's room. We were playing a game, passing around a small basket filled with candies, which no other teachers or advisors knew about. The game worked like this. The first person that went said something like "I've never broken a bone" then the basket was passed around the circle. If you had broken a bone you'd eat a candy, if you hadn't you'd pass it on to the next person. So when the basket came back to the first person they'd pass it to the next who'd say something else.
So at the moment it was "I've swallowed a bug before". Quite a few people actually had swallowed bugs, which was pretty gross. The basket came to me and sadly I had to take a candy.
Bex laughed when she saw my reluctant expression as she passed the basket to Macey. And guess what! Shockingly, Macey took a candy.
"What?" She snapped at me when she saw me looking at her.
I shook my head, smirking.
Zach sat next to me and I definitely knew he was too.
"Okay, guys, this is getting boring, let's make this a bit more intense." Julianna said. She took the basket and bit her cheek as she thought. Suddenly she perked up and smiled. "Got one. I have never hooked up with more than 5 guys in one week. Guys, that's girls for you." She passed on the basket.
Most of us ended up taking a candy, including me, thank God. Macey on the other hand, sighed, and took one.
I had to hide my laugh behind my hand but failed. Macey shot me a death glare.
The basket went to Zeke. He looked at everyone when he said the following. "I have never killed anyone."
I wish I could say he was lying, but I knew when people were, so I can say that he was telling the truth.
My heart thudded in my ears and my throat constricted.
I watched the basket as it moved its way towards me. I swear, I almost broke down crying right then and there.
Zach bit his lip as he looked at the basket, held it for a few seconds, took a candy then passed it on to me.
I thought about lying or backing out, but I couldn't. This game was about truth. It was the closest we got to learning more about eachother. Besides, this game didn't allow passes, so if I quit, they'd know anyway.
Memories flashed before my eyes.
I could hear a scream. A squeak in the floor. I saw the moon. A girl with inky hair and eyes.
My eyes widened and I looked right at Julianna as I passed on the basket.
I averted my eyes from Zach. I was ashamed and scared of what I had done. If I couldn't accept it, how could he?
"Wow, Cammie, who knew you could be so hardcore." Danielle snickered.
I narrowed my eyes at her. "Excuse me. I have to go."
"Why? Got something better to do?" She taunted.
"Oh you know. People to kill, places to destroy." With that, I banged the door to her room shut.
