Sorry for the wait, I just couldn't get into this chapter at all. But here it is :)

"Oh oh, I have an idea!" Marina shouted, raising her hand and waving it around madly.

Mason sighed. "Oh, not one of your crazy made-up games that nobody understands but you."

"Yes, and no. It's not my fault you have trouble keeping up with me and that I got your share of IQ as well." He glared at her, but she continued; "it's called Secret, and it's simple. We split into boy vs. girl teams, then write our deepest, darkest secret on a piece of card, and number them. Then, hand those cards over to the other team and each person writes down who they think each secret belonged to. Then we switch sheets and mark them. The person with the most correct answers wins, and so does the team that has the total correct guesses. Got it?"

"Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine once we get started. But I think we should nominate one person to do the writing so you can't tell who it is that way."

We all agreed, and Mason reluctantly distributed the blank cards he'd bought earlier. Our team designated Sophia as our scribe, and it looked like Jet was taking control with the guys' team. We split to different sides of the room.

I wrote my secret down on a piece of rough paper, and Sophia copied it up neatly onto card, before doing the same for the others.

Mine was that I'd only ever had one kiss.
Sophia couldn't sleep without her teddy bear.
Marina once spent $500 in Victoria's secret
Lily once broke 2 knuckles punching someone.

Looking at the secrets, I suspected it would be pretty hard for the guys to guess correctly- all our secrets were pretty out of character. I guess that was why they remained secrets.

By now the guys had finished writing too, so Sophia swapped the cards with Jet, and I handed out more paper that we could write our answers on. We then spread out even more, since it was a competition within groups as well, and we weren't allowed to talk.

One person at a time looked at the cards and wrote their guesses, before passing it on to the next one. I let Sophia and Marina go first, and then took the cards myself.

Seriously? This was the best they could come up with? I guess this was why girls had the reputation as secret-keepers and gossipers. This was pathetic.

1 would rather face a Strigoi than an angry Dimitri.
2 once got a boner over a teacher.
3 has never backed down from a dare.
4 is afraid of water.

1-Mason. He was scared shitless of my dad.
2- Jet. I was sitting next to him when Miss. Edwards leaned over her desk, boobs practically falling out of her blouse.
3- Aleks. He'd done every dare I'd ever seen him be given. Even swimming under the ice of a partially frozen lake, and chatting up Yeva (which was something to see).
4- Ash. He did a pretty good job at keeping it hidden, but I could read emotions. It wasn't really cheating, because I'd still have got that answer by process of elimination.

I wrote my name at the top of the paper, thinking this seemed more like a school quiz than a fun game. Oh well, I guess seeing other people's answers was the fun part.

I passed the cards to Lily, and sat back on the bed. I heard Mason snigger, and looked over to see him shaking his head. I guess he knew about Marina's shopping spree.

Lily finished before the guys, so we collected the papers and chatted for a minute about what movie to watch. Then, we Jet passed us his team's papers. Time to see how well these people knew me.

Turns out Mason was the only one who guessed my secret right. I didn't really know how I felt about that, since it meant Aleks had no idea that he'd been my first kiss. I didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. But it could have been worse, he didn't think I'd broken my hand punching someone or had spent $500 on underwear. He'd guessed I couldn't sleep without a bear, and it wasn't too far wrong. I did still have a stuffed toy on my bed, but it was a horse, and I didn't need it to sleep. So he could be forgiven for the mistake.

I was kinda glad that Mason knew. Though I didn't tell him everything like I did Sophia, he was probably my second closest friend here in America.
Jet and Ash, however, did both think I'd gone on a crazy shopping spree. Although they wouldn't get the papers back, since then they'd find out who really had done what, I took great pleasure in crossing out their answers.

After we had a laugh about how wrong the guys were, we all went back to our circle to reveal the results.

I read them out. "Total correct answers- 4. Jet- 1. Ash-1. Aleks-1. Mason-2 correct answers. Birthday boy wins from your team."

"Wait, what? How did we do so bad?" Ash exclaimed.

"Uh, 'cuz you're guys? And girls are better at keeping secrets probably." Marina answered. She was happy because only her brother had guessed hers right.

"I'm guessing our team did a little better." I speculated, and Jet sighed before reading out the results. "Total- 10. Lily-2. Marina-2. Sophia-2. Anya- 4."

"Woo!" I shouted, jumping up. "I know alllll your secrets, bitches!" I pointed at the guys, laughing. Ash glared, probably wondering how I knew he was afraid of water. The others didn't look too surprised, though I could see Jet silently begging me not to tell Sophia about the teacher incident. I winked at him.

Lily also looked a little annoyed. She leaned in and whispered, "I can't believe they all thought I'd only had one kiss. No offence to you or anything, because it's true, but do I really come across that shy?"

I shook my head. "Nah. Aleks doesn't really know you, Ash can't see any further than his own asshole, and Jet is your brother, so wouldn't want it to be true since he's so protective. You kissed Mase a couple of times, so he knows."

"Thanks," she smiled. I knew that her nerdy shyness was a bit of an issue for her.

I noticed Aleks was looking at us, wondering what was going on. Hopefully he hadn't heard what we were saying. To cover it up, I grabbed the popcorn and a can of coke.

"What game next?"

It was well after curfew by the time the party finally broke up, and I was exhausted. We'd had a chat up war, hide and seek, 21 dares and watched 3 films. I was right, it had been the best party ever. Now I just had mine to look forward to.

Sorry it's so short and took so long to go up. I really didn't know what else to write. Don't worry though, the next few chapters are finished, and are longer and better than this. I thought about cutting this chapter altogether, but I thought the secrets thing was quite important to show relationships between characters.
Next chapter up soon, and it's better than this one :)
