"Back to my place!" was a loud yell heard in the middle of the street.

The group had not broken off yet, but all their faces were red thanks to a certain round of drinks.

Riley spoke to Donte, Storm hanging on his arm, "Seriously, Bro? All these people in that apartment? What're we gonna do?"

"It's only like," he started counting. Riley, Storm, Dylan, Valerie, Casey, and him, "6 people, it's not all too much."

Dylan's usual study hard self said, "Yeah, come on, Riley, it's not too much." Without his drinks, he would've chosen to go to bed early, school is tomorrow.

Riley looked at Storm who said, "Come on, it'll be fun."

He sighed, "Alright..."

Everyone cheered as they headed through the night.

They all walked in, one by one. The room wasn't much, seemed like a normal house more than an apartment. Donte said, "Alright, now what?"

"Spin the bottle?" suggested Casey.

"I'm down," said Donte.

"Let's do it," commented Dylan.

"Sure," said Valerie.

"Cool," replied Riley.

"Good to me," responded Storm.

Casey grabbed a bottle he kept with him from the restaurant. "Alright, let's set up."

With some furniture moved, and a circle of sitting people; Casey explained the rule, "Anything goes."

Dylan went wide-eyed, "What?"

"You heard me," repeated Casey, "Anything goes."

Donte looked to his right, "You realize you're gonna regret that in one spin right? There's 4 guys, and 2 girls."

"Oh trust me, I'll get lucky," he span the bottle, declaring him being first.

The bottle span fast, slowly getting slower. As time seemed to slow when it stopped. It almost landed on himself, when it inched closer to Donte. They had both blushed brighter than before. "What about the 'getting lucky' thing?"

The other 4 members of the group watched intently. The two hesitated as they very slowly inched towards each other. They had stopped inches apart, the entire group clearly hearing their heartbeats. "Come on," said Riley, "you said anything goes."

The two took a small lunge to each other. Sharing a moment for 2 seconds as the whole group cheered for the first kiss of the game. As soon as the kiss broke, Donte took his turn. The bottle landing on the other side of Casey.

"And you said you'd never kiss me," Donte spoke to Valerie.

Her glance quickly went to Riley, but back at Donte, "Guess I lied."

Donte stood up, and walked over her. Kissing her for 2 seconds, then going back to his seat.

Riley took his turn, and lucky enough for him, the bottle landed to his left, Storm. They shared a 5 second kiss, since they're special to themselves. Storm took her turn, and got the same result, to her right.

Minutes passed by and game continued. Storm stood up, pulling Riley up with her. "Hey, what's up?" he asked.

"Yeah," began Dylan, "Where're you going?"

Storm whispered to Riley, "Just come on." She walked away towards a bedroom, pulling him along into it. The group watched as the door closed, hearing the click of the lock.

Dylan looked at Donte, "I wonder what they're doing," he spoke with a grin, and a sarcastic tone.

Donte laughed along side him. Valerie looked at the door, biting her lip from worry. "But I'm over him..." she thought, her glance locked on.

Casey's phone vibrated. "Who's that?" asked Donte.

"I don't know..." taking out his phone, he noticed a text. "It's from Vinyl."

"What's it say?"

"She wants to come over here."

"Does she know where you are?"

"Well, yeah, kinda. I told her I was heading here."

"Let her come, who knows, your lucky night could actually come. Just like Riley's."

Casey madly blushed, "It's not like that!"

Dylan spoke, "But judging by that blush, you wouldn't mind it."

Casey decided to stop talking to them, texting Vinyl to head over to their apartment.

Dylan looked over at Donte. "What?" Donte asked.

"Magic trick."

"What about them?"

"3, 2, 1."

Donte's phone rang. "What the hell? You calling me?"

"Nope, just lucky."

Donte pulled out his phone. Dylan and Casey heard half a conversation. "Hey, AJ, what's up? No, I'm not doing much. You did? Heh, yeah, I had a few... You did too? You wanna come over? Yeah, sure, I don't mind. Another person to our party. Alright, cool. See you soon. Love you." Donte realized he was being stared at, "What?"

Dylan and Casey smiled. Dylan chuckled, "Whatever."

Casey spoke as well, "Don't worry. I'm not saying anything."

Donte grunted, "Whatever."

Dylan got up and moved to a wall and sighed.

"What's up with you?" asked Valerie, standing next to him.

"Nothing... It's just..."

"'Just?'"

"It's just, I have no date. No girlfriend. No nothing."

"Really?"

"Well, there's this little girl. A freshman at the school. I met her once, but that was about it, I don't think anything can happen between me and her."

"Well, I can help you with that," Valerie spoke with one intention. To get Riley off her mind.

"How?"

"Where's your bedroom?"

"Well, Riley's in it with Storm, why?"

"Then where's Riley's bedroom?"

"Just down the hall, again, why?"

"Come on," she said with a slight grin.

He was pulled to Riley's bedroom. The door was locked and he was pushed down. "What are you doing?" asked Dylan, trying to get up.

Valerie climbed on top of him, her lips closing his. Her eyes closed as she kissed him as passionate as she could.

Within breaths of air, Dylan spoke, "Valerie- ... What are- ... You doing?"

Valerie hadn't stopped. Her hand helping her out by rubbing the small bulge in his pants, already starting to form. In her mind, she knew she was kissing Dylan, but her subconscious was thinking Riley. "Why can't I stop thinking about him!" she screamed in her head.

Dylan forced her off of him. "Valerie, you don't have to force yourself to do this."

"I... I'm not forcing my-"

"Yes, you are. I can tell you are. You're trying to hide something, and you're doing it by trying to do this with me. What is it?"

"I just, can't stop thinking about Riley."

"But didn't he say he wouldn't date you 3 years ago?"

"Yeah, I know. I was fine this long. Why did I start thinking about him again now...?" Dylan didn't know what to say, but thankfully he didn't have to. "I think it's just because, he seems so mature now. I mean yeah, he still acts childish, but that's only because he's active. It's just, the way he moves, and speaks..."

"You're falling in love with him again..." He sat up, her sitting down next to him.

"I, I guess so."

"Well..."

"What?"

He looked at her, "If all else fails, and he doesn't want you, or can't convince him otherwise, I'll be here for you. Going through struggles is what I'm for. You can spill out all your hatred, affection, jealousy, anything to me. I'll be here."

She attacked him in a hug, tears slowly leaking from her eyes, "Thanks..."

He returned the hug, "You're welcome."
