Chapter 2: What? We're Stuck?

(A/N: Truth or dare and spin the bottle are mywrldmyrulez's ideas, not mine…I'm probably not all that creative to think of those ideas anyway. I know I don't need a disclaimer for something like this but still…)

"It appears that our bus drove over a ditch and our bus has broken down, so it looks like we're stuck here," the bus driver said.

It was silent for a moment, and then they all did what anyone else would do in this situation. They panicked.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed pretty much everyone on the bus. Chad was running around in circles to the best of his ability (since they were on a bus) while Liselle was sitting next to him quite annoyed.

"EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!" the bus driver yelled. Again, there was silence, except for Chad…he was still running around in circles screaming his head off. Hey, what can I say? It's Chad. Liselle gave Chad a good slap, which finally got him to calm down. The bus driver continued. "Most of you have cell phones…Try to reach someone and let them know that we broke down." Immediately everyone who had a cell phone pulled it out. Then they ran into a problem…

"Uhhh, my cell phone's not picking up any reception," said Allison. By the sound of it, everyone else was having that same problem.

"Mine ran out of batteries, so I can't tell," said Eric.

"Gah…That's probably because you used your cell phone to prank call everyone on the bus!" said Julie.

"Okay, okay! This probably isn't the best time to be arguing," said Natalie.

"Well, in that case, it looks like we're stuck out here," the bus driver said quite calmly considering the situation that they were in.

Again, everyone panicked.

Julie was really freaking out. "AHHH! We're gonna be stuck out here for who knows how long! I mean, we might starve to death! Or, we might slowly go insane out here! Or…"

"Stop it! You're scaring Mr. No Name!" Katherine yelled over her voice and covered the teddy bear's ears.

Mr. No Name was Katherine's favorite teddy bear. Yes, an eighth grader has a teddy bear that she still sleeps with at night. Of course, Katherine was always doing strange things like that, so the teddy bear thing was totally normal. What's really scary is the fact that Katherine couldn't go to sleep unless she had a tin of Altoids Smalls under her pillow. She also had a white bear that we call Mr. No Name because Katherine could never think of a name for him. But anyway, moving on!

"Oops, sorry Mr. No Name," Julie said with a laugh.

"Mr. No Name?" asked Blake.

"Why, yes, Mr. No Name. That's the name of my bear," Katherine replied.

"That's an odd name for a bear…"

"Well, I couldn't think of a name for him."

"Why not name him something like Bobstein?"

At this point, Julie started laughing like crazy. You could say Bobstein was an inside joke between Blake and Julie.

"Bobstein? What?" Katherine was obviously confused.

"Or…"

"I wouldn't suggest saying any more or else Julie might die laughing…" interrupted Stephen. Both Katherine and Blake agreed that was a good idea. Julie was still laughing her head off, so they all decided to wait it out.

After a while, Julie finally stopped laughing. Since they all knew that there pretty much weren't going anywhere, they all found something to do. Blake and Julie both had iPods, so they were content with listening to music. Chad, Eric, and Ryan decided to play card games with the deck that Ryan provided. Mike read a "Make Out Paradise" anime book. Liselle read Crime and Punishment. Natalie talked with Stephen and Samantha, and Dakota and Katherine began a poke-war between each other.

A couple of hours passed, and soon everyone was bored.

"So, what are we gonna do?" asked Mike.

"I dunno," said Blake.

"I know! Let's play truth or dare!" yelled Katherine.

"Ooh…Good idea!" agreed Julie. One by one, everyone else agreed, and soon they were all playing truth or dare…with a twist.

Katherine explained, "Okay, so the thing is, you're allowed three truths, and then after that, you have to pick a dare. After your dare, you can pick three truths again. If you pick dare, then you have to do whatever that person tells you. All right, everyone got the idea? Okay, let's play!"

"Chad, you start," said Natalie.

"Okay…Ryan, truth or dare?" And so the game began.

After about half an hour of playing truth or dare, things had gotten really interesting. Katherine had dared Julie to eat a tissue, and everyone laughed as she did so. Ryan dared Eric to challenge his section leader, and thus a challenge was to take place after they got back to school. Julie dared Liselle to slap Chad across the face, and was very surprised when she actually did. After some time, it got to Blake's turn.

"Hey Julie, truth or dare?"

"Well, I kinda have no choice, now do I? I used up all of my truths…"

"All right then…I dare you to sing a kpop song out loud."

"WHAT?"

"That's your dare and you have to do it."

"…Fine…"

"I get to choose it too."

"Gah…"

(A/N: kpop is Korean pop music…I find that a lot of people actually don't know what that is…Okay, anyway…)

Blake took her iPod and looked through the songs. He scrolled and then picked a song. Soon, Julie could hear a very familiar song playing. This song was…Tri-Angle by Dong-Bang-Shin-Gi! Julie laughed and sang the song. Everyone started cracking up when she got to the rap part because well, she couldn't really sing it. After she was done, everyone was practically rolling on the ground laughing.

"Okay, now it's my turn. Blake, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to sing the song!"

"…"

Everyone began to laugh all over again.

Another half an hour passed…

"Hey, this was a great way to pass the time after all!" said Julie.

"Don't change the subject!" said Katherine. "Have you and Blake kissed yet?"

"All right, all right! No, we haven't," Julie finally got out.

"Okay then…" Katherine said.

A few more rounds passed, and then it was Katherine's turn again.

"Blake, truth or dare? Oh wait, you already used up all of your truths…"

"I did?"

"Yes, you did…Okay, I dare you to kiss Julie."

"…"

"Do it! Do it!" Chad chanted. Soon everyone else was chanting along with him. Finally, not wanting to face further embarrassment, Blake gave Julie a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Aw, that's it?" said Chad. A glare from Julie silenced him.

"Well, if we're going to start kissing each other, then we might as well play spin the bottle," said Allison sarcastically.

"Oh, come on Allison, how would we play spin the bottle on a bus?" laughed Natalie.

"Hey, I didn't mean that…" began Allison.

Natalie ignored her. "So, any suggestions on how to play on a bus, you guys?"

Everyone thought for a moment…Julie pulled out some origami paper.

"Hey, that's it!" said Natalie. "Julie, can we have some paper?"

"Ummm, sure."

"Okay, everyone write your name down on a piece of paper, then fold it up. And yes, all of you are playing," she said with a smile.

"WHAT? That's not fair…" said Liselle.

So truth or dare was abandoned and spin the bottle began. Or rather, "pick someone's name out of a hat" began. Samantha got Stephen, and Julie picked Blake. (haha, what luck!) Liselle picked Chad, and she walked up to him and…slapped him.

"Gah, what is with you and Chad lately?" asked Allison.

"Yeah, is it 'slap Chad' day all of a sudden?" Chad said as he rubbed his sore face.

"No, but we should make it a day!" said Natalie.

"Hey!"

"Hey, who wants to play cards?" yelled Ryan.

"Oh, me!" said Julie and Liselle, glad to find a way to get out of spin the bottle.

"Hey, you can't do that!" yelled Natalie.

Julie simply said, "Well, they didn't play, now did they?"

(A/N: Sorry…That ending to the last chapter was like the lamest ending ever and it didn't even make any sense. Well, I was really really tired and all from lack of sleep, so yeah…I promise the chapters will get better and hopefully longer!)
