Thanks to those of you who reviewed. Sorry that chapter and this one suck. Hopefully it will get better.
By the time Lilly and I had closed our mouths out of shock from what the other one said, we were really hungry, seeing as we had been up here for an hour without food, so we decided to head down to the kitchen. Unfortunately that meant passing our crushes, since they were sleeping and hanging down there because Jackson's room is smaller and doesn't have a TV or video games.
Lilly and I walked downstairs, trying our best to act as casual as possible by making small talk about how Amber and Ashley tripped over Sarah in gym when she was picking up a worm to save it from a soccer ball. We entered the living room and the boys fell silent. That must've meant they were talking about something that they didn't want us to hear. Hmm, I wonder if that means one of them or even both return our feelings. Lilly must've thought the same thing because she had a questioning look in her eyes to me.
Lilly got out two glasses, into which I poured lemonade. Then, I got out a bag of popcorn and Lilly put it in the microwave, while I got out some candy, chips, and pretzels. The guys noticed the food and came over practically drooling for it, but Lilly and I grabbed it and ran.
They started chasing us, Cooper to me and Jackson to Lilly. I guess they were really hungry. We ran all around the living room and kitchen for about five minutes before Cooper grabbed me and lifted my feet off the ground. When Lilly went to help, she met an identical fate with my brother. They held us up until we agreed to share our stash. So, this meant that Lilly and I would be hanging down here with our crushes for a while. No biggie, right? WRONG!!
Apparently Jackson and Cooper had moved the furniture to fit their sleeping bags before they got too tired, so the table and chairs were gone, leaving the couch and a big empty space in front of the TV. Lilly and I collapsed onto the couch, leaving about a person's size amount of room between us and between us and the arms of the couch, as if testing whether or not they would come that close to us. Jackson seemed to think nothing of it, and plopped down in between us. We all turned expectantly at Cooper, and I guess he took the hint because he sat down next to me, but asked Lilly if she could move over because he was squished. That, however, was not entirely true because there was about three inches between me and him, although, Lilly compiled because it would look silly and odd if she didn't.
I guess everybody was really hungry because we all grabbed for the food immediately after that. Lilly and I, of course, had been holding it, so the guys nearly jumped on us to get some. After we finished about half of all the food (which was a lot because they were full, family-sized bags and with the boys we ate it in under ten minutes), we were getting tired of the silence, so we decided to play a game. We all sat in a circle on the floor and tried to figure out what to play. I don't even know who suggested it, but soon we were playing truth or dare and the two sleepovers had turned into one.
Jackson decided that, being "the Jacksonator", he got to go first. We all agreed to start with simple truths and dares and work our way up to more challenging dares and more embarrassing and personal truths. Jackson asked me truth or dare and I picked dare, which probably wasn't that smart, considering he's my annoying brother, but didn't turn out too bad. He dared me to prank call Oliver. So I dialed his cell phone and he answered after two rings.
"Hello?"
"Hello." I replied in what Jackson told me to be a sexy voice.
"Who's this?" He asked, before Jackson fed me the next line.
"That's not important right now. What are you wearing?"
"Uhh, a towel. I just took a shower."
"I know. I was there."
"No you weren't. I took it by myself."
"True, but I was there in my dreams and yours, babe."
"What? Who is this?"
"I have to go make out with you picture. See you around Smokin' Oken." And I hung up, before we all burst out laughing.
Next, it was my turn, and I asked Cooper. He said dare, so I made him this disgusting drink that he had to completely swallow. It was really gross, with mayonnaise, relish, peanut butter, and more.
Then he went to brush his teeth, and when he came back, he asked Lilly, who said truth and had to tell about her last dream. That was actually funny because she dreamt that she was flying a pack of wild monkeys to the moon and starting a business up there. Weird.
Then, she asked Jackson, since he was the only one who didn't go yet. he picked truth, and Lilly asked him if he ever hit on one of his teachers. He said that he actually did. It was his Spanish teacher, and he told her that in Spain older women like younger men, so they should go see a movie. She laughed at him and gave him a detention. Lilly, Cooper, and I laughed hysterically for at least two minutes.
