Chapter 8

After going up for their showers and warming up, everyone returned back downstairs. They were all intrigued by what their head mistress had in store for them. There was a lounge area in the hotel and there was no one in there, so Rachel led them in.

Rachel was planning on playing a game with them that they placed on the staff Christmas meal last year. It was called Never have I ever, and when they played it Rachel recalled everyone being very drunk. Someone says something they have never done and then, Steph's version of the game was, if you have done that thing you have to remove one item of clothing. Of course Rachel wasn't planning on playing it that way with the students.

"So we're going to play never have I ever, has anyone ever played that before?" Rachel asked. She had chosen this game because she thought it was a way for the students to bond because she was hoping that new friendships were going to form from this holiday.

"I have Miss" Bolton replied "are you seriously going to make us strip?" She presumed he must have also played that version of the game

"No Bolton, I'm not. I'm going to change the rules. Someone will say something they have never done it. If you have done it you have to eat one of the biscuits that I'm going to give you in a minute. When you run out of biscuits we're going to give you a dare. So let's all get into a circle"

They all sat in a circle on the floor whilst the staff gave everyone five biscuits each.

"I'll start" Rachel said "Never have I ever eaten a Jaffa cake"

No one ate a biscuit, it appeared that Rachel was the only one who didn't like orange things. Eddie went next.

"Never have I ever been out of Europe"

Quite a few people ate biscuits this time before it was Paul's turn.

"I have never seen a duck swim in a puddle" causing everyone to laugh at the randomness of it

The never have I evers continued to get said as the piles of biscuits continued to get smaller. They had started off quite sensible but now they were starting to get a little bit more personal.

"Never have I ever been out with a girl taller than me" A few of the boys did eat a biscuit, embarrassedly

After another never have I ever Tom ran out of biscuits so there was a discussion with regards to an appropriate dare for him. In the end they decided that he had to wear a pair of swim goggles on his head for the rest of the day, including when they went out for dinner.

"Never have I ever kissed someone on the roof"

Everyone chuckled when Steph had to eat a biscuit after this one.

After a few more Rachel ran out of biscuits and then it was time for her dare to be decided on. She was worried about what they might come up with. After the discussion Bolton announced what the dare was.

"We dare you to kiss Mr Lawson" Bolton said

"I had nothing to do with this Rach" Eddie promised

"I can't do that" Rachel told them although the prospect was quite appealing

"You'll have to have a forfeit then" Steph said

"What's that?"

"If anyone doesn't complete their dare the forfeit is to run around the circle three times with absolutely no clothes on" Steph replied knowing there was no way that Rachel would do that, meaning that she would have to do the first

"Okay then, I guess I'll just have to do the dare then" Rachel said nervously

Slowly, Rachel leant in closer to Eddie until their lips met. She lingered there for a few seconds before pulling away. Everyone erupted into wolf whistles and cheers. Rachel and Eddie's cheeks were both flushing because everyone had watched them whilst they'd experienced a kiss that they both thoroughly enjoyed.

The game carried on, however Rachel and Eddie decided to stop it when Bolton said "Never have I ever had sex with someone who isn't British" they decided that they'd done well but they were getting a little bit too personal now.

So they dismissed everyone to do whatever they wanted until dinner at six thirty.

Rachel went back up to the room needing time to process the feelings she had when she kissed Eddie. Eddie joined her up there a little while later. Rachel was lying on the bed when Eddie walked in.

"Everything alright Rach?" Eddie asked

"Yeah, it's fine"

"I can tell you're thinking about something"

"No I'm not"

"Yes you're"

"Are you calling me a liar?"

"Oh no, I'm too much of a gentleman to say that" Eddie said before their eyes locked

Rachel stood up as Eddie neared the bed. Slowly Eddie captured Rachel's lips in his own. It lasted a few seconds before Eddie pulled away. After receiving the look from Rachel telling him it was okay to carry on, their lips met once again. Eddie wrapped his arm around Rachel and brought her close as Rachel brought her hands up to Eddie's head sliding them through his tousled hair. Things were getting more and more passionate, until they were interrupted by a knock at the door.
