Chapter 9
Thank you everyone for waiting do patiently for my updates. I've just gotten back to school so I don't have as much time as I did before (when I was bothered to write) I hope you enjoy this chapter (obviously). Also please don't mind my random references. Anyways…
"The tension, in this room, is astronomical," Macey says with a smirk. Zach and I both turn away from each other to glare at her. She puts her hands in the air as if to prove innocence, "Just trying to diffuse the tension!" I laugh inside my head at the quote but glare at her, not giving her the satisfaction of laughing.
"Macey, truth or dare," Zach asks. Macey thinks for a second. "Truth," she replies. I am SO glad Zach didn't choose me, he would have slaughtered me. " What's your biggest secret?" Macey raises her eyebrows at him. "I think the definition of a secret is that it stays untold," she says and takes off her jeans.
I watch Zach out of the corner of my eye. I can see him trying not to look and sometimes glances at me. Boys are stupid.
"Bex, truth or dare?" Macey smirked. She had probably already planned it. "Let Grant seduce you into saying you like him," she says. Grant raises his eyebrows and smirks (probably something he learnt from Zach). Bex sighs dramatically and says, "Ok, fine!"
They go into the bathroom. I hear them whispering something that I can't make out. After a few minutes the whispers stopped and you could hear the distinct sound of kissing. Macey was still smirking, Jonas and Liz were looking down at their laps, faces very red. Zach was looking at me. I ignored him again.
After a few more minutes Bex and Grant came out of the bathroom. Grant's hair was a lot messier than it was when he had gone into the bathroom and a bit of Bex's shirt was tucked into her bra.
Annoyingly, both Macey and Zach were smirking at them. Do they ever stop? Macey and Zach were quite similar, even though they had a bit of a love/hate relationship. Maybe that love/hate relationship was turning more towards one than the other. For Zach anyway.
I saw Grant wink at Zach and I roll my eyes. Boys are disgusting. I look at Bex expectantly so I could find out what went on in there. She gave me a look that I read as "I'll tell you later".
"Grant, truth or dare," Bex asks. "Dare, obviously," he replies. Bex smiles evil, she also has already thought of what she was going to say. "We have to fight and if you lose then you have to strip!" I laugh. There was no way that Grant would beat Bex. Grant was going to have to strip either way.
"I know you said that because you want me to strip, but I will win so it's really you that's going to be in the lose/lose situation," Grant said, smiling. Bex just laughs and looks at me, "The boys are cute aren't they? They actually believe they can beat us in fights!" I smirk. Grant and Zach look grumpy. Jonas doesn't really care because he knows that we could easily beat him.
We all head down to the P&E barn to watch them fight. They stand opposite each other. They slowly walk in a circle around each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. Grant lunges out, aiming a punch at Bex's Stomach. She jumps to the side and grabs his arm, flipping him over her shoulder.
Grant lay on the mat, pretending to be winded but jumps up a few seconds later and kicks Bex in the ribs, she stumbles back but then leapt into the air, spins, and kicks Grant in the chest pushing him backwards. She sticks her leg under where he is stumbling backward so that he trips and falls onto his back. She sits on his chest, victorious.
Although Grant lost the fight, he seemed pretty happy about the position he was currently in. Bex raises her eyebrows at him and he grins back at her. We go back to dormitory and sit down. Grant pulls off his top. He has a six-pack and lots of arm and shoulder muscle. I noticed Zach looking at me, seeming angry. Maybe the only reason he was looking at Macey was because she was right there, like how I was looking at Grant. He was attractive but I wasn't attracted to him.
"Liz, truth or dare?" Grant asks. Liz surprises everyone by saying, "Dare!" Jonas looks slightly worried because he knew it would be something to do with him. "Kiss Jonas for 15 seconds!" For everyone else in the room this was pretty boring because we had all kissed at least one person for much more than 15 seconds but Jonas and Liz never had so it was big for them.
They turn towards each other, blushing a very deep shade of red. They lean towards each other and start to kiss. They don't really seem to know what they are doing, though I bet Liz has read a book on how.
After 15 seconds they pull away, blushing. Everyone is grinning at them. Nerd love is the cutest. Liz turns to Jonas. "Truth or dare?" Jonas grins. "Dare please!" Liz raises her eyebrows. "I may not be the strongest out of all of us but that doesn't mean i'm not scary. Jonas, I dare you to hack into my laptop in under one minute, which by the way has security that the CIA has been begging me for for years, and if you fail to do that, you will have to jump into the lake, which no one wants to know what dangers are in there," Liz pauses before saying, "Also its probably so cold outside that you have a high risk of drowning!"
Liz smiles innocently at Jonas, who looks deeply troubled. Everyone is staring at her, mouths open. "What? So because i'm small I can't be evil?" Everyone shakes their head, no one wanting to be on the wrong side of Liz in this game (which I still don't want to play).
Jonas pulls off his shirt (A smart decision). Liz just glances over at him but doesn't stare. Everyone, apart from Jonas, stares at her amazed. She just raises her eyebrows. "I guess I am the only one of us who is respectful and has self control!" We laugh.
Jonas skipped his go so it's his turn to choose. "Macey, truth or dare?" She laughs before saying, "I just saw that you shouldn't get on the wrong side of someone smart, I pick truth!" Jonas smiles. "How far have you gone with Preston?" Macey laughs again. "You really shouldn't get on the wrong side of a nerd. I've been to third base with Preston," she says.
We all stare at her. "WHY IS THIS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS?" Bex screamed. I see Grant slowly shuffle away from her. She stands up and dives at Macey, who shuffles to the side so that Bex lands on the bed instead of her. Bex screams into the pillow in front of her.
Eventually she sits up. "Ok, let's carry on," she says, as if nothing happened. We are all still staring at her. She grins. "Sorry about that!" Grant looks slightly less scared than he did before.
Macey smirks. "Ok, it's my turn to choose. Zach, truth or dare?" Zach smirks, making it obvious what he was going to choose. "Dare," he says, obviously. "Apologise to Cam" she replies. Zach looks confused. I couldn't tell if he was genuinely confused or if he was pretending.
"For what?" he says. "She's very clearly upset, i'd be surprised if you couldn't see that. And it's definitely because of you. She keeps glaring at you," she replied. Zach still looks confused. He looks over at me. I look away towards Macey. We communicate through subtle facial movements. I don't know if every girl can do that or if it's just us spies. But clearly none of the boys understood.
Macey seems to understand me and seems surprised. A rough translation of what I said is 'i'm annoyed at Zach because I think he likes you'. Macey shakes her head at me and looks exasperated.
"What are you saying to each other!" Grant says, annoyed. Bex glares at him, "It's none of your business!" Grant still looks annoyed but then pauses, "Wait, do you know what they're saying?" Bex rolls her eyes. "Of course I do," she says and Liz nods. Grant screams into a pillow in frustration. We all stare at him. He stops, "I learnt from the best," he says, winking at Bex, "It works surprisingly well!" Bex gives him a shove.
Zach is still studying me, "What did I do?" There were many things I could have replied to that: You keep looking at other girls in their underwear, you keep glaring at me, as soon as I show any sign that I might like you, you back away, you didn't say who you liked, you tease me.
But I didn't say any of those. Instead I storm out of the room to hide in my favourite secret passage. I lean against the wall and slide down onto the floor. I feel tears begin to stream down my face but i'm not sure if it's because i'm hormonal or if it's because i've probably lost Zach.
AN: Thanks for reading. The next chapter is my absolute favourite chapter! I was about to start telling you what happens but then I was like wait… no they have to wait. Give a review so I know what you think of it! Thank you!
