"Charlie, are you sure your mother won't mind us staying here while she's not at home?" Rebecca asked as she followed her friends into Charlie's house. It was small and peaceful. Charlie's mom took good care of the house while Charlie was away at school.
"My mom's cool. Don't worry about it. Chill out for once." He said. "I'm going to the kitchen to order pizza." He walked into the other room. Jordan sat down on the couch and picked up the remote control.
"No way!" Luis demanded, grabbing the remote from her hand. "There's no way I'm watching TV with a house full of hot girls."
"Well, what do you suggest we do then, Mendoza?" Jordan asked, glaring at him. Luis smiled and wrapped an arm around Stacy's shoulder.
"Let's play truth or dare."
"Oh no!" Rebecca protested. "I hate this game. I always get treated like the guinea pig. I always have to eat gross things and answer the worst questions. I'm the total under dog in that game! I refuse to play." She crossed her arms and pouted.
"No skin off of our backs." Luis chucked. Stacy elbowed him in the gut.
"Girl pow-wow." Stacy announced. Jordan and Rebecca followed her upstairs. They stopped at the top of the stairs. None of the three girls really knew the house all that well and they didn't want to venture to far away. "Carlisle, I know you don't wanna play because you don't like any of the guys that are here, but I really wanna play and I know Jordan really wants to play, so you should just take one for the team."
"Why does it always seem like I'm the one who has to 'take one for the team'?" She sighed.
"You know that if you ever need anything from us, we're here for you." Jordan assured her. "Come on, Carlisle, PLEASE!"
"Fine, but you all owe me big time."
"YAY!" Stacy and Jordan exclaimed simultaneously, pulling Rebecca into a group hug.
"Let's go back downstairs." Stacy insisted, grabbing the other two girls by the hands and practically dragging them along with her. The boys had moved the furniture to the side of the room and had thrown pillows on the floor for everyone to sit on. Stacy sat down beside Luis and Jordan sat down beside Charlie.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Rebecca asked Averman, pointing to the pillow that was on the floor beside him. Averman grinned and shook his head 'no'. Rebecca sat down beside him and pulled her knees in close to her chest.
"It was my idea, so I get to go first." Luis smiled. "Stacy, truth or dare?" He looked at her and smiled.
"Truth." She giggled girlishly.
"Okay... is it true that you have a crush on one of the Ducks?" He asked feeling quite sure of himself.
"Yes." She nodded confidently.
"Alright!" Luis exclaimed, moving closer to her.
"I never said it was you!" She laughed, pushing him away.
"Well, is it?"
"You can't ask two questions! It's my turn." She laughed. She looked around the small circle of people and her eyes fell on Rebecca who sighed and looked away. "Carlisle, truth or dare?"
"Truth." She mumbled.
"Did you say truth?" Stacy asked.
"Yes." Rebecca replied. "Truth."
"Okay." Stacy tilted her head slightly, thinking of something to ask. "Hmmm... Oh, I know. Is it true that you are dating Scooter?"
"You already know the answer to that!"
"Just answer the question!" Stacy demanded.
"Fine." Rebecca gave in. Out of all the questions in the world, that was the one question she was sick of asking. "I'm never going to explain this to any of you ever again, so listen and listen well. After Scott broke up with Julie, well, I guess that's when, he started to like me. He's been trying to get me to go out with him by being all nice to me and giving me stuff, for example, this jersey. BUT, I do NOT like him that way at all, therefore I say no every time he asks me out. And yes, that is my final answer and it is the the truth. I DO NOT LIKE SCOOTER!" She let out a deep sigh. The room was silent. Up until that point, none of the guys had believed her. "Stacy..." She broke the silence.
"You can't do me back!" Stacy protested.
"You never stated that at the beginning of the game. You can't add rules as we go along." Rebecca reminded her.
"She's right." Charlie nodded. "Then again, she's always right. That's why she teaches English."
"I do NOT teach English." Rebecca shook her head.
"But you will." Charlie defended.
"Whatever. Anyway..." Rebecca's glance fell on Stacy once again. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth." Stacy replied.
"You always pick truth." Luis said, shoving Stacy.
"Which DUCKS do you have a crush on?" Rebecca asked. Stacy shot an evil glare at her. "Payback's a bitch." Rebecca grinned.
"Holy shit! SHE CURSED!" Charlie exclaimed and the other boys burst into laughter.
"Answer the question." Rebecca insisted, staring at Stacy.
"Fine." She mumbled. "Dwayne and Luis."
"What was that?" Rebecca asked. "I couldn't quite hear you."
"DWAYNE AND LUIS!" Stacy screamed. Luis' grin grew to three times it's normal size and his ego grew even more than that. "Get over it." She rolled her eyes. "Charlie, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Charlie always picked dare and it was no surprise to anyone. Stacy had to think carefully. There was little that Charlie wouldn't do.
"Okay. I dare you to answer the door in your tighty whities when the pizza delivery man comes." She giggled.
"Fine." Charlie grinned cockily. Normally that would have been crossing his line, but he was trying to look tough in front of Jordan. "I'll do it. Now, can I take my turn since the pizza guy isn't here yet?"
"Go ahead." Stacy nodded.
"Ummm..." A frightening look appeared on Charlie's face. "Averman. Truth or dare." There was never a point in asking Averman. The questions people asked always scared Averman. In some way or another they would always make him look like a loser. For that reason he always chose...
"Dare." He sighed. It was time to be humiliated again. He knew that the Ducks were his friends, but it was hard to believe it sometimes.
"I dare you to kiss Carlisle." A wave of silence fell over the room.
"Aw, come on Charlie, what do you mean?" Averman asked with a nervous tone in his voice.
"I mean kiss her like your life depended on it. Tongue and everything." Charlie was proud of himself. He knew Averman would never go through with it and instead he would look like the huge wuss that he was.
"Charlie..." He wined.
"What's so bad about having to kiss me?!" Rebecca asked, shooting her gaze over to Averman.
"Well, n-nothing." Averman stuttered. His nervousness was apparent.
"Then kiss me!" She demanded. She didn't know Averman that well, but she knew that he was a babbling wreck when it came to people of the female persuasion. She had also become fed up with the way he was treated by the other Ducks. He deserved respect and she was at least going to help him earn a little. She took Averman's hands and placed them on her neck. She proceeded to place her hands on Averman's neck and pull his face close to hers. She kissed him gently on the lips allowing him to get comfortable. She felt the muscles in his hands relax a little and took that as a sign to deepen the kiss. She allowed her tongue to pass his lips and enter his mouth. Eventually Averman began to return the kiss and there was a loud knocking on the door. Everyone in the room was too busy staring at the sight in front of them to realize the pizza had arrived. Rebecca pulled away from Averman. "Charlie, are you going to get that?" She asked.
"Oh... right..." Charlie shook his head. Slowing the stares shifted from Averman and Rebecca to Charlie as he stripped his pants and answered the door.
"My mom's cool. Don't worry about it. Chill out for once." He said. "I'm going to the kitchen to order pizza." He walked into the other room. Jordan sat down on the couch and picked up the remote control.
"No way!" Luis demanded, grabbing the remote from her hand. "There's no way I'm watching TV with a house full of hot girls."
