Truth or Dare?

Chapter:7

The Ducks entered the club,undetected by the Varsity members. They took a seat at the end of the room,just far enough where no one could see them;but they could see the Varsity. They saw Linda talking and flirting with Riley. She looked anxious for him to show her the pictures,and everyone could see that.

"Okay," Charlie said,"Portman,get ready."

He shook his head and walked over to the bar right across from Riley and Linda. Fortunately he was wearing a baseball cap;unfortunately it didn't look so good on him. He waited until he saw Riley take the photos out of his jacket,that he made his way over to them. He pretended to bump into the table knocking down the photos and walking off.

"Hey," Riley yelled,"watch where you're going!"

"Uh," Linda said,"what a jerk. I'll pick up the photos for you."

She got up and went over to pick up the photos. She picked the original photos up,put them in her pocket,and replaced the photos with pictures of her and Charlie. She went over to Riley's side and slipped them in his coat pocket.

"Maybe you should just keep them in your pocket before someone else knocks them over or rips them," she said. Look,I've had fun,but I've got to get home. I'll see you around?"

"Yeah," Riley said.

She then turned around,rolled her eyes,and exited the club. The other Ducks soon followed. They got to the van they had come in and looked at the pictures. They were all laughing at the fact that they pulled another over on the Varsity team.

"You know Scooter," Charlie said,"we owe you one."

"No,you guys don't owe me anything," Scooter said.

"Let's go," Julie said. This club is giving me major prep vibes.''

They then drove to all of the Duck's homes,dropping them off. When they got to Fulton's house,Portman got out,too. Fulton waited until Charlie had drove off to ask Portman what he was doing.

"Why are you getting out here?" Fulton asked.

"I thought I'd walk from here," Portman said.

"Portman,your house is like..seven blocks away," Fulton said.

"Okay,so I got out to be with you," Portman said. Is that a crime?"

Fulton didn't know what to say. How was he suppose to react to that? Was he suppose to just give in and tell him he loved Portman just as much as Portman loved him?

"What are you talking about?" Fulton asked.

"I'm talking about the fact that I like you," Dean said. I'm talking about the fact that I've liked you ever since the Junior Good Will games. I'm talking about the fact that I want to be with you;as more than a friend."

Fulton could have sworn his heart stopped after Dean finished. He just stood there and told Fulton he loved him,and acted like he had just said he was from Chicago. Fulton could feel his heart beating out of his chest,and he could feel Dean's gaze was on him. But he still didn't know what to say to him;he was more confused now than he had ever been before. Dean,on the other hand,couldn't stand the silence any longer.

"So,do you think I'm a total fag?" Dean asked.

"No," Fulton said. That's all he could manage to say at the moment.

"Do you..like me?" Dean asked. Fulton didn't know wether to answer him or not,but I think he knew what to say now.

"Yeah," Fulton said,"I guess I do."

Dean smiled and the two began to walk down the street;smiling and laughing the whole time.
