The prank- Edd

I was standing in the corner, with my just about empty cup in my hand, while Eddy was next to me saying something about what he was going to say to Lee. Honestly I'm only half paying attention to him, my mind has been in disorder since arriving here. I am unsure why this party or Kevin for that fact has made me so nervous. I mean he was quite dashing in his tight fitting green tee shirt. He has really gained a lot of muscle since we were kids. It could be quite nice to have muscles like that, or to be next to muscles likhis...What am I thinking... Eddward you must not think such indent thoughts of people…. especially people who frankly do not care for you…. imagine if he ever found out…..the violence would surely start back up again. I was quickly brought out of my thoughts by Johnny's comment on a game of Truth or Dare. Apparently about something Eddy could not handle. I tuned completely back in just in time to find Eddy storming off in a huff yelling about him inventing the game.

I tried to follow but did not want to get caught up in the game. I have never been one for games like this. It is just a way to humiliate people and do debaucherous deeds. I am fine saying and observing from a distance. I'm standing in the corner getting ready to fade into the background and just watch when I hear.

"House rules, all that are not either glued to an unoperating tv with no connection to the outside world or fucking already upstairs must be a part of the game." Kevin yelled from across the room at me, as I was the only one not currently sitting in the group. As I started to protest as I do not like these kinds of games he called out again. "For the birthday girl?" And pointed over to Nazz who was giving me this sad face like a puppy. I guess since it was her party and I was graciously invited I should follow the house rules. So reluctantly I walked over and found a seat next to Eddy who has been going on the whole time about how he will do anything and answer any questions he has no fear. That is untrue Eddy holds right to a lot of boundaries so I feel as his words will cause him great trouble tonight.

Kevin stepped into the center and stated the rules,"Once you are picked you pick the next person but you cannot pick the person that just picked you. If you pass you must drink a cup of my special concoction." Eddy laughed at that comment with a ' I bet it's fucking nothing'. His language is just horrible when he drinks. Kevin shot him a death look and continued, "Or if the group thinks you're lying you must drink. Since it's Nazz's birthday she goes first."

As the game gets going I'm watching all the crazy things people will do for a dare and listening to the stories that my colleagues have. I am trying to blend in so as not to draw attention to myself. I really do not wish to be a participant. Just as I start to feel myself ease up as this actually seems to be an enjoyable game currently Kevin speaks up.

"Eddy Truth or Dare?" He tried to say rough but you could sense that he was almost giddy asking the question.

"Dare dickhead, give me your best shot I'll do anything." Eddy said with a definite false scene of confidence. This will definitely end very poorly for him. I watched Kevin as he tried to come up with his Dare for Eddy.

"I Dare you to make out with Double Dee…." Luckily I was not consuming any liquid at that moment because I would have surely choked. Did he just say my name? And Eddy? No this can not be right. But why would everyone be staring at us then. I mean I would never mind kissing my best friend, I have no feeling for him but a kiss is just a kiss right. But what confused me is why Kevin would request such a thing. I needed some quick answers before I would go along with this for Eddy's sake. I would not want to cause him to have to drink that awful fowl liquor for something as trivial as a kiss.

"Umm I find this quite…" as I was trying to clarify what was to happen when I was cut off by Eddy.

"Fuck off shovelchin..see my friend wouldn't want me to do that so I'm not going to, so give me your pussy excuse of a drink." He screamed to our peers. Would he honestly rather drink that poison in a cup then kiss me? He knows I am fond of cleanliness but I'm not a prude. Out of anyone here that he could kiss, well this should have been the simplest of kisses. As I watched him try and keep down the drink my heart sank slightly. I do not fancy Eddy and he is aware of that but could I honestly disgust even my best friend so.much he would not touch me. I want to leave. There is no one here that truly wants me here. As I continued to watch the game I had to keep the tears from forming in my eyes…..You have no reason to be upset…... Why would Eddy want to kiss you?... Why would anyone?... How do I get out of this? ….. Do I excuse myself to the restroom and just leave making up an excuse about getting sick.

I was no longer listening to the game but caught the tail end of Eddy cackling " Sockhead why don't you French him for a while?" The color drained from my face. No I can not handle another public regetion, not now. And who was the other person even? I looked around to try and piece together what was asked when suddenly from across the group I heard.

"Well unlike you shrimp I don't have a problem expressing my sexuality in many different ways."... Kevin….. Kevin said that... No…..there is no way Kevin would….I watched him stand up and extend his arm out for me. I reached out and he helped me up. Oh Dear, I feel like I might faint. He stared at me with a sweet smile, "Hey we will only do this if you're cool with it." He whispered into my ear, " it will be like 20 second and just imagine the look on Eddy's face when we are done" he looked me in the eyes, his gorgeous green eyes…..did I just say gorgeous? Oh dear no…."It will be over quick and I will owe you big time." He smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder giving me a little squeeze. I expected it to hurt knowing how strong he was but it was actually more comforting than anything else I have ever felt. I knew no words were coming from my mouth so I just stopped there in disbelief and nodded. There is no way this is real. I bit down on my lip just slightly to make sure I was dreaming. I felt a quick sting…..I'm not dreaming…..my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I didn't even realize anyone spoke untill Kevin mutters fuck it and grabbed me close. His lip started softly on mine then all of a sudden he pulled me in closer and kissed me deeper then I have ever been kissed before. If he was not holding on to me I surely would have fainted and melted into a puddle. ….Did he mean to kiss me this strong? ...Was this all for Eddy? ...Was this a sick joke?... I never want him so let me go...These thoughts flashed through my brain but I was soon brought back to reality. He quickly pulled away just as suddenly as he kissed me. I couldn't move. I was frozen for what had just happened. He must has observed that because those beautiful lips spoke.

"See I'm not that bad at that." He laughed so I smiled softly along. I realized we were standing in a group of teens, silent, they all just stared. I could feel the color start coming back to my face but it was only red.

Words could finally form from my mouth, "Wasn't my worst," I laughed trying to break more silence. "But probably my best." Also slipped out in such a hush tone I doubt anyone could have heard it. The room was still silent so I quickly gathered myself and sank back to my seat. I was in such shock I could barely feel the rage coming off my friend Eddy about what had just happened. I tried to compose myself….thank all that is good I did not leave before that….

My pulse finally started setting when Kevin asked "Double Dee Truth or Dare?"

I was still recovering, I was so focused on trying to calm down I have been forgetting to breathe. "Truth" I practically gasped.

"After that I'll keep it easy." He laughed, "Who was your first kiss?"

And at that moment my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach…it all came flooding back to me…..did he not remember? That night….my eyes instantly began to fill with tiers...no you will not let him do this to you...it was all a cruel joke...get you as vulnerable as possible and bring up that night….no I will not let him do this to me again…..As I stood up I let my saddened turn to slight rage and grabbed the drink. "I'm actually going to have to decline to answer that question so I will just take a drink like the rules dictate." I spat at him. No he will not hurt me again…..why did I not remember this before that stupid kiss...I began to try and keep down that mystery drink hoping it would keep the memories away.
