yay! like record time in updating. and you know what's funny...i can see people reading this and i only have like 2 more reviews...shame shame. hah. anyways, here is chapter 7!

DISCLAIMER: i do NOT own Newsies. nor will i ever, sadly. The idea of Truth came from Sarah Dessen's book, so she came up with the story line for the game (though i have played it...so has Danielle! whoooo!)

Chapter 6 Recap: "You sure you want to play?"
"Oh yeah. Hit me."

I'll start him off easy, Caedy thought. "What's your favorite color?"

"Hey, now. I want the real deal. Not some candy-ass question. It's insulting," retorted Jack.

"I'm trying to be nice. Trying to easy you in."

"Don't ease. Ask something real."

"Fine. What's the story with your girlfriend, Sasha?"

"It's Sarah. And there's not really a story."

"That's not an answer Mr. Kelley."

"Okay, you want the history book of Jack-Sarah? I've been close with David since elementary school. So Sarah and I knew each other. Then I middle school, Sarah and I though we both felt something, so we went out. But now she's just…I don't know…"

"You've been going out for too long?"

"Maybe. I mean NO! I'm so not spilling my heart here on the table."

"Too late Jackie. This is truth. Let the heart spilling begin. Okay. Your turn," said Caedy. Here it comes, she brooded, knowing exactly what question was coming.

"So what's the deal with the brace?" Jack asked, pointing to the dreaded contraption on Caedy's right knee.

Okay, you knew this was coming.

"I'm waiting. Does this mean you pass?" interrupted Jack.

"No. I'm gathering my thoughts."

"Is there like a time limit on these things? Just wondering…" Jack said to Caedy's glare.

Just breathe and tell. "Well, you know I used to play volleyball. It was the state finals game against Amarillo, match point; we win this, we win it all. I went in to swing and made the kill, but not the landing. I really don't know what happened," said Caedy, starting to choke up. Keep going, "I though I was Superman, invincible, you know? I had never had an injury before. But somehow I landed wrong and I was on the floor. The trainer said I might have torn my ACL – a major knee ligament. I went in for an MRI that night – I had torn my ACL and meniscus. Bad News. I can't truly ever play again. If I do and fall – I could really screw up my whole leg."

"Whoa," breathed Jack, "That's like having your heart ripped out."

"And stepped on. And the sad thing was that I was a sophomore. I hadn't even reached my full potential yet. College scouts can't talk to you until your junior year, but I knew they watched me. I expected all these letters this summer, but nothing came. All I was to them was another tall volleyball player. Even my academics didn't appeal to them as much as sports. So, this brace is a constant reminder of everything I cant have. Well, almost everything," she muttered, thinking of the gorgeous boy across from her.

"Whoa, that is some serious shit."

"Definitely."

"Alrighty, your turn."

As the lunch period went on and the tots, drinks and ice disappeared, Jack and Caedy knew more about each other than they had planned to reveal. Jack enjoyed partying, dancing, and riding horses. He wanted to visit Santa Fe, where his dad lived and find a passion to devote his life to, but he never did tell Caedy why he was confused about him and Sarah. Caedy found herself opening up; something she hadn't done for months, ever since the injury. People just started treating her weird afterwards.

Soon they realized that they were all alone. The other five high schoolers had left, purposely of course. All of them knew sparks when they saw them.

"What jerks! They didn't even have the decency to tell us they were leaving," exclaimed Caedy.

"Well, no worries – I have a car. Come on Mrs. Queen of Flying Undies ."

"Hey! What is said in Truth and is completely embarrassing stays in Truth."

"Oh, inventing more rules?"

"I didn't invent it! It's always been there."

"Clearly it hasn't. you seem to be making these up as you go along. I asked you if there were any more rules and you said no – that wasn't one of the ones you listed," fought Jack.

"Yes it was – but to make you happy, I'm instating in now."

"This isn't student council, Caedy. I won't second it anyways."

"Yes you will or I'll…. I'll cut you!"

"How can you cut me if I'm tickling you?" Jack shouted as he pounced and the greatest tickling fight had begun.

Why did I tell him my ticklish spots?! Caedy ran around the tables trying to get away from Jack, the tickle monster. But he finally caught her causing Caedy to fall to the ground screaming with laughter. But the happiness wouldn't last long; a dark cloud of evil settled over Sonic…

"Jackie! Just what are you doing with that girl?" came that sickening sweet, I-wanna-throw-up voice from the depths of the abyss, ceasing the tickle attack.

Oh Shit, with a capital S.

dun-dun-dun. and so arrives the apocolypse! AH!

go and review duckies. :D
