Definitely my longest chapter, so long I had to split it in two! The rest of the game is next chapter, but for now enjoy this one! Yay!
Chapter 7
"KT are you playing?" Joy asked her. KT saw Amber and Patricia roll her eyes.
"No I'm good, I'll watch" she said and sat on the couch on the side.
"So who's going first?" Amber asked.
"I'll go" Mara said. They cheered her on as she leaned over to spin the bottle and pick from the hat.
"Green, a nice and simple star. I like it" Mara said. They watched the bottle slow down to a stop on Eddie. Patricia made her best poker face. Mara went over and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
Eddie went next. He picked from the hat and waved the paper for everyone to see that he got red. Everyone cheered and made kissy faces. It landed on Joy.
"Come over here Sweet!" Joy commanded. They leaned towards each other, their tongues fought for dominance. Joy was controlling and Eddie was dominant, so their kiss was very similar to that. The entire time they were fighting for control.
"Ok!" Patricia said before she could stop herself and everyone laughed at her. Joy spun and picked from the hat.
"Red again" she said.
"Joy you're gettin' some tonight, aren't you?" Jerome commented and watched the bottle land next to him on Alfie.
"That doesn't bother you, does it?" Mara whispered to Amber, knowing very well that it does. Amber watched Joy pull Alfie's head towards herself and watched their tongues intertwine.
"Not at all" Amber said. Alfie spun and picked a paper. "Green, cool"
"Not cool" Mick said seeing it land on him. Everyone laughed and 'oohed'. Mick and Alfie made faces, and their lips barely brushed each other and for less than a millisecond.
"Blah" Alfie said. Mick spun next and his color was green.
"Squee!" Willow said and gave Mick a quick smooch. "MY TURN! Oh this is so much fun! I'm so glad you invited me over!"
"We didn't..." Patricia mumbled to Jerome who laughed. Willow spun and chose her color, yellow, as it landed on- "Oh great"
"Woo!" Jerome called clapping his hands with amusement.
"Shut up slimeball" Patricia said to him. Nevertheless, she made her way to Willow and kissed her. The room was filled with whistles and catcalls.
Never, never would she admit it, but as Patricia spun and picked her paper, she hoped so badly that she would get Eddie. Her color was yellow.
And of course she got Nina.
"Yeah round two!" Alfie said.
"Shut up!" Patricia barked at them and kissed Nina. She thanked her luck she didn't get red.
Not that Nina was a bad kisser.
As Nina spun, she prayed that she got Fabian. She picked up the card, read that it said red. And watched the bottle slow down. For a second it looked like it was gonna land on Jerome, but nope.
Everyone around them cheered and whistled as Fabian made his way to Nina, with a blush as red as the marker used to write on the paper. Nina's heart sped up double time as he leaned towards her. She closed her eyes and let it happen. This kiss was soft and slow. It was really sweet. Much unlike Patricia who basically punched her with her lips. It was very shy and in the moment. Their lips were in perfect harmony.
Joy looked at the floor. She wondered, if she hadn't left, would she have a greater chance with Fabian?
Fabian spun and picked a paper, which was green, and who else to have it land on than Nina?
"It's almost like you're doing this on purpose" Joy said trying her best not to let her hurt show and frame it like a joke. They gave each other a quick peck and Nina went to spin again. She picked red and huffed. Red again. It was unlikely that she would get Fabian. She watched the bottle slow down, barely moving. Still it managed to pass Eddie, Mick, Amber and just barely Willow. When it stopped she locked eyes with the person it landed on, looked at the red on the paper in her hand and back at the person.
"Yes! The best part of this game!" Jerome shouted.
"He's such a pig" Joy said and passed Mara to get to Nina. "Ever made out with a girl before?"
Nina shook her head.
"It's not that different from kissing a guy, just more lipgloss" Joy shrugged. Before Nina could mentally prepare herself Joy leaned in and kissed her.
Joy was right, she thought it would be bad but it wasn't actually. Joy wasn't too rough with her, knowing that she was nervous about the whole thing.
Fabian looked down, blushed and ran to the boys bathroom making everyone laugh.
Joy spun a red and watched it land on Mick.
"Just curious, did you put like, ten percent more reds in there than yellow and green?" Joy asked.
"Don't I always?" Jerome answered. Her and Mick wasted no time going for each others lips.
"Jump on it! Jump on it!" Eddie sang to which Nina brushed her fingers up and down her lips making a 'ooh' sound in the process, just as the song went.
"Awooga! Wooga! Wooga! Wooga!" everyone else sang.
KT sat on the side silently watching them pay no attention to her. They seemed to be having so much fun. At the same time, she didn't want to be involved in this game. She didn't even know the people, so why would she kiss them?
"NEXT!" Patricia called, getting impatient like she always did during the game. Mick spun a green on Willow and he rolled his eyes. Not because he didn't like her, she was actually kind of adorable. But because he already kissed her. And he needed to be careful about how he reacted around Amber. She could be nasty when jealous. But it was a quick smooch and she was spinning again.
"I got yellow!" Willow announced.
"Congratulations" Patricia said. It landed on Jerome. Willow was so excited, she couldn't even squee! She'd had a crush on him for as long as she could remember. Her excitement grew as he came to her. She tried not to leap on him and attack his face.
As their lips connected, Jerome was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't bad. It was... nice...
Jerome spun and picked red. He smiled, he hoped he got Mara, but would be perfectly ok with the new girl Nina. Amber would be nice too. He wouldn't hate kissing Patricia. Joy was an amazing kisser. He didn't mind kissing Willow again. He realized he listed every single girl. He'd be perfectly ok with any of them.
As it slowed to a stop he thought it would land on Patricia, but it stopped a little later than he thought.
"Oh crud" he said.
"Yes!" Joy mocked Jerome. "The best part of this game!"
"No!" Fabian said. "No!"
"Oh just do it, it's not that big a deal" Patricia said.
Fabian and Jerome looked at each other, and decided it wasn't that big a deal. Jerome had kissed guys before. And so had Fabian actually. Only once, another time they played this game. Mick. Jerome waved Fabian over and the girls shouted like sorority girls. Before Fabian even had time to think Jerome yanked him to his lips, wanting to get the whole thing over with. Jerome was doing most of the work, seeing as Fabian really didn't have much experience with kissing. Well he had some experience but certainly not as much as Jerome.
Now was the part Fabian had no experience with, Never has another boy's tongue been in his mouth. When he kissed Mick, his color was yellow. He became stiff. He then tried to imagine as if he were just kissing a girl, and found it much easier. Jerome deepened the kiss and they were now in a full blown make out session. When they pulled apart, Fabian was exhausted.
Fabian spun the bottle weakly, happy to get green. Then he saw it land on Jerome. "Why do I keep doing that?"
Jerome, who had only just sat down, got up once more and kissed him on the lips quickly. Jerome sat back down and spun, picking red. He watched it land on Amber and shrugged. He didn't mind. She walked over to him and before they he kissed whispered: "Nothing new"
"Shut up" Amber warned glancing at Mick.
"The two sluts of the group are making out!" Mara exclaimed. They both rolled their eyes and went for it. The first time they kissed was when Jerome and Fabian made a bet a while ago that Jerome couldn't go a month without having sex. It was in the middle of said month and Jerome was going crazy. Amber was between relationships with Mick and was extremely horny. They didn't want to tell anyone, but Jack exposed them before the day was even over.
Alfie couldn't say he was happy about his best friend making out with his crush, but quickly got over it upon remembering what he did a few days ago. Jerome and Amber had familiar thoughts as they did several months ago. Thinking about kissing each other was revolting, but actually doing it...
"You've had enough" Mick said and they pulled apart. Amber kissed him to make him feel better, which worked. She spun the bottle and picked a color. Red. Of course her favorite. She watched it spin, anxiously waiting to see who it would land on. And just her luck, it landed on Alfie.
Now this was nothing new.
Neither hesitated, they went right at each other. Amber wrapped her arms around him as he pulled her closer putting his hands on her waist. They heard someone say 'It's like they're trying to swallow each other'. They didn't care who, they were in the moment.
"OK" Mick yelled making them jump apart.
"Take it easy Mick it's just a game" Jerome said. Mick huffed muttering something that sounded like 'not the last times'. Alfie went to spin, of course his color was red. That seemed to be all they ever got.
Not that anyone minded.
He watched it slow to a stop and land on, to his horror, Mara. Their smiled faltered as they made eye contact. They had been making an effort to avoid each other ever since what happened that. Alfie felt so guilty about it, and regrets doing it. Mara felt guilty that she may now be a wall between Alfie and Jerome in their relationship. Plus, she had been convincing herself since it happened that it was what she wanted, though now she wasn't sure. Of course it was too late.
"Well?" Patricia waited impatiently. "It's not like this is anything new"
They looked at her and back at each other, now unable to make the argument that it was and they never had sex and never will. That ship has sailed. But they couldn't let Jerome know something was up. So they plastered huge smiles on their faces and made their way towards each other. Mara gently kissed him, wrapping her arms around him as he held her waist. She bit his lip ever so slightly making him open it just a little bit. He deepened the kiss feeling lower than dirt, until it went on for a little while and guilt and sorrow was replaced with lust. The kiss was no longer gentle or soft, but rough and hot.
This was all far too familiar.
And so they quickly pulled apart and Mara took her turn watching it spin. Her card was yellow, happy to not have to shove her tongue down someone's throat again. She saw it land on Mick, and had to fight to keep her smile from getting bigger. Amber was watching her like a hawk. Mick made his way to her and they kissed. And she was on cloud nine. This was perfect. It didn't need to be a hot steamy makeout session for it to be nice.
Mick spun, picking up a red, and watched it land on his roommate and best friend. This would mark the second time he's kissed him, but the first time it would be red. At this point, no one was bothered with same sex make outs. It was just the game. So they laughed it off and went to each other.
"Never thought we'd be in this position" Fabian said. "It helps to imagine you're kissing a girl"
"I guess it's similar, just less lipgloss" Mick reasoned and Fabian chuckled. They closed their eyes and collided lips. They heard someone, Patricia maybe, yell 'go hard or go home!' And if Mick were able to speak he would say they already were home, but Fabian's tongue stopped that from happening. When they pulled apart they looked at each other and made faces.
"That was-" Fabian started.
"Weird" Mick said.
"Yes very weird" Fabian agreed. As Fabian spun, he recognized a pattern of spinning the person he just got. He hoped that didn't happen this time. Kissing Mick was one of the most awkward things he ever did. They would probably both put it in the back of their brains and never speak of it again. Ever.
Luckily for him it didn't land on Mick. Unluckily for him it landed on Alfie. He looked at the green writing and thanked God. They gave each other quick peck on the lips and Alfie spun. He got red and was confused as to why it was always red for him. He didn't mind, but his lips were swollen.
When it landed on Nina, she didn't even notice at first. She was getting a bit bored of the game. When she did notice where the bottle was pointing, she had to figure out who spun it.
"A little out of it, aren't we?" Alfie asked turning towards her.
"You could say that, aren't you bored of this?" Nina asked.
"A bit, I'm tired of kissing people" Alfie said.
"Yeah your lips look a little swollen" Nina commented.
"No kidding" Alfie mumbled.
"Is Fabian looking at us?" Nina asked. Alfie took a look behind Nina to see Fabian looking dead at them.
"Fabian's looking at us" Alfie confirmed.
"I need to test something out" Nina said thinking back to the conversation she had with Joy. "I need to know if he really likes me"
"Oh he does" Alfie told her without a doubt.
"Enough chit chat!" Patricia said.
"Just follow my lead" Nina said. "And try to keep an eye on Fabian the whole time"
Before he could ask what she was about to do, she cupped his face and smacked her lips onto his. She didn't hold back at all. Alfie soon caught on to what she was doing, and did the same. He deepened it, though that was nearly impossible considering how deep it already was. He had one hand on her lower back and the other intertwined in her hair. He leaned into the kiss, making her arch her back. He peaked at Fabian. A smile that was too big and eyes that wouldn't look away. He was beyond jealous.
"Dayum!" Eddie called. Jerome and WIllow whistled. Mara laughed and fanned herself looking at Patricia mouthing 'hot'. Alfie and Nina kept going at it until they needed air.
"Well?" Nina asked Alfie.
"He's so into you" Alfie said and sat down, Nina now having a huge smile on her face. But that didn't make Fabian feel better. Alfie, who was next to her in the circle, added: "Now your lips are swollen too"
Nina chuckled.
"Well that was interesting" Amber mumbled, not at all amused.
Nina spun and got green, watching it land on Eddie, she gave him a quick kiss and sat back down. Eddie spun and picked up a yellow. As he watched it slow down, he thought it was about to land on himself. What would that mean? Would he have to kiss himself? Is that even possible? But he wouldn't have to worry about that, because it stopped facing the person next to him.
Patricia's heart skipped about two beats in a row and for a good three seconds she didn't breathe. This is what she wanted. Why she wanted it, she didn't know, and that fact bothered her. But she knew she wanted it. Everyone watched them intently, knowing perfectly well how they felt about each other. They were all waiting for them to stop being stubborn and just get together.
"Think you can keep your mouth shut long enough that we can do this?" Eddie asked.
"Shut up Weasel" Patricia snarled at him. "I don't want to do this anymore than you want to, so lets just get this over with shall we"
"Fine" Eddie said. He leaned in to kiss her and immediately felt something. Not sparks or fireworks, that's too cliche. But he definitely felt something. Then he realized, he felt a confirmation. A confirmation that this was the girl for him. British accent, snarky attitude, leather jacket and all.
He picked yellow, which was a ten second dry kiss. So they weren't to go any farther than that, those were the rules. Since when do Eddie and Patricia follow the rules? Eddie's tongue found it's way into her mouth, and she didn't stop it. In fact, she deepened it, wrapping her arms around him. Until she came to her sense and pushed him back hard by his chest.
"What was your tongue doing down my throat?" she barked at him. "Your paper says yellow"
"Don't act like it was all me" Eddie said.
"Let's just move on" Joy said before an argument started. Patricia spun and took a piece of paper, which read green. The bottle stopped at Jerome and she kissed him quickly and went back to her spot. He spun next and also got a green. It landed on Joy, and they gave each other a quick kiss. That was nothing compared to what they used to do.
"Is anyone a bit tired of playing this?" Patricia asked.
"Yes!" Nina and Alfie exclaimed.
"Last spin?" Jerome asked and Joy took her turn, taking a piece of paper that said 'red'. She watched it stop at Nina, who honestly didn't feel like playing the game at all anymore.
"It's like you're doing this on purpose" Mara said referencing what Joy said before at the start of the game. Fabian got up and ran to the bathroom and everyone laughed again.
"We didn't even do anything yet" Nina laughed. Joy kissed her already wrapping her arms around Nina's neck. Joy pulled back for a second just to whisper to her: "Want to give them a show?"
"What do you have in mind?" Nina asked. Joy leaned in again, going at it much differently. She kissed Nina a lot rougher. Joy wrapped her arms around Nina and the latter followed her lead. Nina felt herself get into it and fingered through Joy's hair, it was a kiss she never thought she'd have with a girl. Mick and Alfie followed Fabian to the bathroom. They stopped him from coming back. Nina and Joy pulled back and waited for the boys to come back.
"But wait" Willow said sadly as they returned. "I don't want the night to be over"
"We could play something else" Patricia suggested.
"Truth or Dare?" Amber supplied. Nina was already more interested.
"I'm into it" she said.
"Do we all agree on that?" Jerome asked. Everyone agreed.
"KT" Joy called to the sleeping girl on the couch, who awoke at the sound of her name. "Are you playing?"
"I'm sure I'm not wanted" KT mumbled.
"Of course you're wanted!" Amber said. "Come on KT join the party!"
'What are you doing?' Patricia mouthed.
'Learning more about her' she mouthed back as KT sat next to Mara and Joy. KT thought maybe things were actually turning around for her!
"Great, Fabian Truth or Dare?" Jerome asked.
Fabian was surprised that he got the first one. "Truth"
"God you're predictable, but that's exactly what I wanted you to pick" Jerome said. "Who in here do you like?"
Fabian knew very well that he was wondering about his feelings towards Nina and Joy. Who he liked better. But he didn't know yet. So he found the loophole. "I like Joy" he said. Nina's eyes widened, she knew Joy had a thing for him, but thought maybe he liked her. They did go on a date after all. Or at least attempted. "And Nina" he continued. "I like them both"
"Who do you like more?" Jerome asked.
"My turn is up. Mara truth or dare?" Fabian asked.
"Um..." Mara thought before her pocket buzzed.
KT found it odd that at the same time every single one of them got a text message. They all silently read to themselves.
Most of you lameos in the other houses are asleep, but you'll read this in the morning. The Anubians are having a game night, fun! Right now, they're playing Truth or Dare, a classic. So here are my submissions. ;)

Here's my dare for all-Change into the person on your left's clothes. Remember, if you pass, that's one article of clothing off! Have fun my sweets! -Jackal!
"Ok, who told Jack Jackal we were here?" Patricia asked.
"Oh that was me!" Willow smiled. "Can you believe it? I was actually on The Jackal! I've always wanted to be!"
"Um... who's Jack Jackal?" KT asked.
"Why did you tell them what we were doing?" Joy asked.
"Because that's my job!" Willow said.
"Well you're fired" Patricia told her.
"I didn't think you'd be so mad" Willow said.
"Did you send anything else to them?" Jerome asked.
"Well sure! I told them about your kiss" she pointed to Jerome and Fabian. "Your kiss" she pointed to Patricia and Eddie. "Definitely your kiss" she pointed to Nina and Alfie. "And definitely your kiss" she pointed to Nina and Joy.
"Great just what we need" Eddie said.
"Who's Jack?" KT repeated.
"I'm sorry, does being on Jack Jackal really bother you?" Willow asked feeling really sad.
"Sometimes" Joy said. "Well most times. But it's ok, it's not your fault, this whole school is controled by Jack"
"I am so confused" KT said.
"Of course you are" Patricia said.
"Well are we gonna answer these questions?" Eddie asked.
"What questions?" KT asked.
"I feel like we should do the dare first" Fabian said.
"What dare?"
"Sure lets do it" Amber said.
"Do what?"
"Can someone fill her in?" Jerome said.
"Jack Jackal is complicated. But they sent us some truths and a dare. We're about to do the dare" Joy said.
"What's the dare?" KT asked.
"Switch clothes with the person on your left" Joy told her. After some changing, they all looked at each other. They looked strange.
Nina wore Alfie's graphic T shirt and bright skinny jeans, both a little too big on her. Alfie wore Jerome's grey, striped vest over his white shirt and his grey jeans. Jerome wore Fabian's plaid shirt and baggy jeans. Fabian wore Patricia's blue leather jacket, Lose grey tank top, and black skinny jeans. Patricia wore Eddie's leather jacket over his plaid button up over his black graphic shirt and loose jeans. Eddie wore Mick's basketball shorts and baggy blue shirt. Mick, who everyone laughed at the most, wore Amber's grey dress with the hearts all over it and the hot pink belt. Amber wore Willow's purple leopard print shirt under a denim jacket and her skinny jeans. Willow wore Joy's floral dress, yellow belt, and her red leather jacket. Joy wore KT's denim shirt over her orange shirt and blue skinny jeans. KT wore Mara's floral dress, her grey leggings and her purple cardigan.
"I feel so uncomfortable" Fabian said. "Why are your jeans so tight"
"Why do you wear so many layers it's boiling in your clothes" Patricia asked Eddie.
"No one should be complaining" Mick said making everyone laugh at him again, except Amber.
"No one except me! Look at how much you stretched my dress!" Amber exclaimed.
"I can't believe Amber is wearing my clothes!" Willow exclaimed. "And I'm wearing the legendary Joy's!"
"You're not wearing the legendary Joy's clothes. You're wearing the boring goody-two-shoes Joy's clothes" Jerome said.
"Whatever" Joy rolled her eyes.
"And moving swiftly on" Nina said.
"Yeah right, the questions" Fabian said. "Newby, how about you answer your question first?"
"I got a question?" KT asked.
"Yup!" Fabian said. He took out his phone. "Irrelevant New Girl-What's the deal with your Gramps?"
"How does he know about-" KT started.
"Don't ask questions just answer them" Mick said.
"Ok... well" KT started. "My Gramps is really sick. He has type two diabetes. It's really depressing, and he recently had a stroke. He's ok, well ok for having a stroke"
"So why'd you leave him?" Nina asked.
"Because he'd always wanted me to go here, and I kept refusing. Now that his life is really on the line, I wanted to come here for him" she said. "He stayed in this house, so I asked to stay here, which is why he gave the spot to me"
"Well that's a good reason!" Willow smiled. "I like you, you're really nice"
"Shut up Willow" Amber said.
"The way you described her I thought she was this terrible person, but she's cool!" Willow said.
"Willow!" Patricia spat.
"Cease and desist!" Mara said. Willow nodded and stopped talking. KT and Joy giggled.
"Ok, Willow" Amber said. "Why are so damn happy all of the time?'
"Oh! Well I figured, there's no sense in being sad or mad. Then you can't have fun! And life's too short to not have fun!" Willow answered.
"Ok, next question" Joy said. "Nina, why'd you come here? Don't they have boarding schools in the America?"
"Of course, but this was the farthest from home" Nina said. "I needed to get away from there. I have really bad memories"
"Like what?" Jerome asked.
"Isn't it someone else's turn?" Nina asked. Everyone looked at each other. She was more secretive than they thought.
"Eddie" Mara said. "Is there anyone in the house you like"
Everyone looked at him expectantly. Especially Patricia.
"Well Nina's pretty hot" he said. "And we have that whole American thing in common"
"Is there... anyone else?" Patricia asked.
"Why? Are you interested?" Eddie asked. They locked eyes. She so badly wanted to say yes, but her lips betrayed her.
"Not in the slightest" she answered. He looked down.
"Then no, no one else" Eddie said. "Next question for Fabian. The one we've all been waiting for! If you had to choose between Nina and Joy, who would you choose?"
Fabian thought long and hard about his answer, choosing his words carefully. "Well" he started. "It depends on the situation. I barely know Nina, I only just met her about two weeks ago. Whereas Joy's one of my best friends, and for almost anything I would choose her" he smiled at her and she smiled back. "But to date, I would want to just stay friends. And I would choose Nina"
Nina smiled at him.
"If she liked me back" Fabian said giving Alfie a quick glance.
"Ok Mick, we all know Amber had her moments. But have you ever cheated on her?" Patricia asked.
"Uh... yeah actually" he said.
"You hypocrite!" Amber screamed, but she looked so happy that she wasn't the only one.
"It was only once and we didn't even go all the way!" Mick said. "I did it to get back at you for cheating on me! Twice! Well at least at that point it was only twice"
That wiped the smile off of her face quickly. "Who did you cheat on me with?"
Mick said nothing, but looked at Mara, who was suddenly very interested in her shoes.
"Mara?" Amber asked. "Why her?"
"Does it matter?" Mick asked. "Why Alfie"
"We'll discuss this later" Amber said.
"Uh... Ok then. Mara!" Nina said. "Who would you rather kiss? Mick or Jerome?"
"Wait you like Jerome?" Alfie asked feeling more terrible.
"Well answer the question" Amber waited expectantly. Mara looked between the boys, at Amber, and decided she didn't really want to answer.
"Pass" she said.
"Pass means you have to remove an article of clothing" Jerome said to her. She took off Nina's shirt, so she was left in the tank top.
"Amber" Jerome started. "Who do you like better? Mick or Alfie?"
Amber was about to say Mick, but looked at Alfie. She always did have a small thing for him. Maybe it was how much he made her laugh.
"Well?" Mick asked.
"Pass?" Amber said quietly taking off Willow's jacket.
"Seriously?" Mick asked.
"Alfie!" Joy said. "Do you like Mara?"
"I like her as a friend" Alfie said. "I'd do anything for her, as a friend"
"Jerome" Eddie said. "Who do you have a crush on in the house-"
"Pass" he said immediately, removing Fabian's plaid shirt. Patricia groaned.
"Three passes? Really?"
"Well, you can break the pattern" Alfie said. "Why don't you ever talk about your family?"
"I..." Patricia regretted saying anything about the passes. She so badly wanted to pass now. "I have a twin sister"
"Seriously Patricia" Jerome said not buying it.
"She's telling the truth" Joy said. "Her name is Piper"
"How come you never told us?" Mara asked.
"Because Piper is so annoying, and she's the family favorite. No one cares about me" Patricia said sadly. "And you're one to talk! You kept your sister a secret too!"
"Last question" Nina said. "Joy, what happened while you were away?"
"That's the golden question isn't it?" Eddie asked. Joy sighed.
"I went to rehab. They helped me there. Now I'm a better person." she said. "That's all you need to know"
"Ok, that's all of Jack's questions!" Willow said.
"Ok, Truth or Dare to..." Amber looked around. "Willow I guess"
"Squee!" she screamed in Amber's ear, who cringed. "Amber picked me! I choose Dare"
"Great! I dare you to not say 'squee' for a week" Amber said. Willow's eyes widened, but looked in deep thought.
"Are squee and SQUEE two different words?" she asked.
"No!" Amber said.
"Darn" Willow said. "Mara, truth or dare?"
"Truth" she smiled.
"Were you ever not smart?" Willow asked.
"Uh... no..." Mara said. "I mean I was never dumb, but there was a time when I didn't get straight A's. Nina, truth or Dare?"
"Dare" Nina said.
"I dare you to eat a whole bottle of ketchup!" Mara laughed.
"Ew"
"What am I gonna put on my hot dogs?" Eddie asked seriously. Nina walked to the kitchen and got a bottle of ketchup.
"Chug! Chug! Chug!" they cheered. Jerome took it and told her to open her mouth, which she did. He squeezed it in her mouth until the entire thing was finished.
"Blah!" she said. "I've had enough to ketchup to last me a lifetime"
"Or twenty" Joy said.
"Amber, truth or dare?" Nina asked still making faces about the ketchup.
"Dare" she said.
"I dare you... to switch clothes with Patricia. For a week!"
"What?!" Amber yelled.
"Hey why do I have to suffer?" Patricia asked.
"Can we start tomorrow?" Amber asked.
"Um yeah. Sure" Nina said.
"Ok, Patricia, Truth or Dare?" Amber asked.
"Dare of course"
"I dare you to kiss the person you find most revolting" Amber said. Patricia looked at her choices. Fabian, Jerome, Alfie, Eddie, and Mick. Fabian and Mick weren't revolting to her. Alfie was when it came to food, but other than that he was fine. And she would say for show it was Eddie, but she didn't find him revolting. That left Jerome. She'd much rather kiss Eddie again. She got up and kissed Jerome.
"You find me revolting?" Jerome asked. "That hurts!"
"I thought you were gonna kiss Eddie" Amber said.
"I don't find him revolting. Annoying? Full of himself? Yeah. Not revolting" Patricia said. He smiled.
"Alfie, truth or dare?" Patricia asked him.
"Dare!" he said.
"I dare you" Patricia thought. "To spray paint your name on Mr. Sweet's window"
"What? You want me to get kicked out of the school? Ok sure! Why not? That's just fine!" Alfie said with sarcasm. "Before I leave, Jerome. Truth or Dare?"
"Dare" he said.
"I dare you... and Amber actually" Amber's eyebrows rose. "To dye your hair pink"
"No way!" Amber said. Alfie ran to his room to get spray paint.
"I have pink hair dye from when I was thinking about dying my ends" Patricia said.
"Oh let's just do it" Jerome said grabbing Amber and pushing her towards the stairs. Alfie ran past and out the door in the meantime. "Oh, and Eddie, truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"Oh... uh... is there anything you have in common with Sweet?" he asked clearly expecting Eddie to say dare.
"Uh... we have the same last name" Eddie said. Jerome shrugged and walked up stairs dragging Amber with him. "Joy, truth or dare"
"Dare" Joy said. Joy always felt Truths were more dangerous than dares, which were just fun.
"I dare you to steal corbiere, and hide it in a place Victor would never find it!" Eddie said.
"Easy" Joy said. "Does anyone have a bobby pin?"
"Oh, I do!" Nina said taking it out of her hair and handing it to Joy. Joy ran upstair, unlocked Victor's door with the bobby pin, and stole Corbiere. Then she got an idea.
"Ew what is that?" KT asked.
"That's Corbiere" Mara said.
"Victor has a thing for stuffing dead animals" Mick said.
"Before I hide this" Joy said. "Mick Truth or Dare"
"Dare" he said.
"Perfect! I dare you to make out with Corbiere" Joy said.
"Gross!" Willow laughed.
"Fine give him here" Mick said.
"Friendly reminder that you're about to make out with a dead bird" Fabian said. Mick made a face. Sometimes they forget Corbiere and the rest of his stuffed animals aren't stuffed animals, and they're were actually alive, than dead, then cleaned out, then stuffed.
"Pass actually"
"No you already said you'd do it!" Joy said shoving it in his face. Mick took the thing.
"I did it!" Alfie burst through the door. "He was just leaving as I went there, so when he sees it tomorrow, it will be a surprise! What'd I miss?"
"Mick's about to make out with a dead bird" Eddie said.
"This is gonna be so disgusting" Mick mumbled, and quickly kissed the bird, pulling back immediately and wiping grossness off of his lips. Joy did clarify that she said to 'make out' with the bird, but she let it pass. She figured just doing that was bad enough. She took the bird upstairs to hide it. Mick realized everyone had gone, well almost everyone. One person still needed to go, the new girl. "Uh... you"
KT looked up. "Me?"
"Yeah... ET or whatever"
"KT" said ignoring the giggles.
"Truth or Dare?" Mick asked.
"Truth" she answered.
"Uh... is there anyone here you like?" Mick asked. "Or at least find attractive"
"Quite frankly I don't like any of you, romantically or platonically, except Joy" KT said.
"Ooh, ouch" Jerome said coming down with Amber in tow, both with shower caps on their heads.
"And after we were so nice to you" Amber said.
"I must have missed that" Joy said.
"Well who do you find attractive?" Mick asked. KT said nothing.
"Oh come on!" Willow pushed. "You may not like them, but you can't deny the boys here a quite good looking"
All the girls silently agreed. There may be one boy they preferred over the others, but none of them were bad looking.
"Don't let it get to any of your heads" Patricia warned.
"You're right" KT admitted. "You guys are pretty... cute"
All the boys had a cocky smirk on their faces, which the girls rolled their eyes at.
"Ok, Willow, Truth or Dare?" KT asked.
"Truth" Willow said.
"Is there anyone in this house you would date?" KT asked.
"Well sure!" Willow said. She smiled at them and everyone waited for her to elaborate.
"Like...?" Eddie asked.
"Oh! Uh... well Jerome" she smiled at him. Everyone knew that. Well except Jerome apparently whose eyebrows went up. "And uh hmm uh well I would date Alfie"
Now his eyebrows raised. Amber, who wouldn't admit this to anyone, was feeling a bit pre-cautious and paranoid about being in the 'Fearsome Four' as Jack called them. So her next words spoke through that which she was feeling. In her mind, everyone wanted to be apart of the group, thought that wasn't actually true. They knew the group was twisted. Dangerous. Very few people wanted to be apart of it. No one else in Anubis certainly.
"Interesting that you chose those two" Amber said. Though she decided not to elaborate.
"Uh.. Eddie! Do you choose Truth? Or do you choose Dare?" Willow asked him.
"Dare" he said.
"I dare you to act like your dad for a week starting tomorrow" Willow said.
"Fine!" Eddie shrugged. "Easy..."
"Oh this will be a site to see" Fabian said.
"Fabian, truth or dare?" Eddie asked.
Fabian decided to avoid dare, any dare from Eddie couldn't be good. "Truth"
"Ok, if you were gay" Eddie started, making Fabian regret his decision. "What boy would you want to kiss?"
Fabian looked at the boys in the room. Not Mick, that's just awkward. Not Alfie, that would be gross. That left him with Eddie and Jerome. "I guess" he thought looking between the two. "I guess Jerome. But that's if I were gay"
"Of course" Jerome winked at him.
"Uh... Patricia" Fabian said. "Truth or Dare"
"Truth" she said. Fabian looked between her and Joy, and knew he was risking an injury.
"Why do you hate Joy so much?" he asked. Everyone quieted down at once. "I mean, you used to be best friends"
Joy and Patricia looked at each other. Patricia sighed and decided she didn't care if anyone else knew.
"You know last year that time I got arrested and put in juvie?" Patricia said. Some people nodded.
"For vandalism and breaking and entering, right?" Mara asked and Patricia nodded.
"What?" Eddie asked.
"Last year I was mad at a teacher and I broke into their house and trashed it" Patricia said. "Her name was Ms. Valentine and she retired after I did that"
"So what does this have to do with Joy?" Nina asked looking at the girl who had her eyes glued to the ground.
"Joy was there too" Patricia said. Everyone was shocked.
"Yeah it's true" Joy said. "I told her I would help her with her little prank. And I did. When I was in Valentine's bedroom, I saw her getting out of her car about to go into her house and I bailed before she could catch me, forgetting to warn Patricia in the process"
"I still can't believe you did that to me" Patricia said. "That was the last time I saw her, because when I got out, she had left school"
"I'm sorry!" Joy told her for the thousandth time. "I know I was a bad friend and a terrible person"
"You left me" Patricia said. "Twice! IN A ROW!"
"I would never do that now" Joy assured her. "Why do you think I left in the first place? I was messed up I wasn't right in the head. I was on drugs and I was a fifteen year old alcoholic. I'm better now and I never stopped loving you. Please Patricia, I miss my bestfriend"
Patricia watched her intently. Joy looked close to tears, and if there's one thing Patricia couldn't stand, it was Joy crying. Because Joy was too strong to be crying. And Patricia had to admit, she missed her best friend.
"You get one more chance" Patricia said. "You better stay loyal"
"Ok hug it out" Alfie said. The girls rolled their eyes, but Joy got up and hugged Patricia anyway, and they heard the circle clap.
"Ugh, too many emotions" Jerome rolled his eyes. "Who's next?"
"Nina" Patricia said. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare" she said.
"I dare you to kiss every guy in the room, and rate them from 1-10" Patricia said.
"Ok" Nina said. She turned to Alfie, who had a dorito in his hand, and kissed him, nothing like the one they had during spin the bottle. "I give you an eight... point 5"
"Just an eight point 5?" Alfie asked.
"Maybe it'd be better if you didn't taste like Doritos" Nina said and everyone, including him, laughed. She moved to Mick. After kissing him for about ten seconds she rubbed her lips together in thought. "Nine"
"That's pretty good" Mick mumbled. She went to Eddie, glancing at Patricia as she did. She kissed him for a little longer, about fifteen seconds. "I'll say... nine point five"
"Fabian's next!" Amber shouted. He blushed and she rolled her eyes and kissed him for half a minute, hearing everyone whistle.
"Nine" she smiled at him.
'Considering I don't have as much experience as the other guys' he thought. 'That's pretty good to me'
"The best for last my darling" Jerome said to her.
"We'll see" she said. When she kissed him, he didn't hold back at all and went right at it. And she didn't expect to get into it, it matched the one she had with Alfie, except it wasn't for show. She he pulled away she said without a second thought: "Ten"
"Wow" Willow said.
"Nina's really getting the action tonight, huh?" Patricia said.
Yeah I kind of got lazy with the kisses in the end there, but you can't blame me! I just did a whole chapter full of kisses! And whatever other kisses I have done in other chapters (Lots of Fabina in this one, lots of Peddie in the next one)! Next chapter will be less lazy, working on it now. Review please!
