"EL, I KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST POST THAT," Will runs through the house yelling. 

"What? Everyone's doing it!"

"What did she post?" Max laughs, coming into the room. 

"She did one of those stupid 'until tomorrow' posts."

"Ohhhhh. I'm gonna have to agree with Will on that one."

"Wait, I don't understand why are they bad?"

"They aren't necessarily bad, but in a couple of months, I think everyone's gonna feel pretty stupid posting them."

"Ugh, whatever."  El sighs, not caring anymore. 

The girls and Will went outside, it was a little chilly, and a blanket of morning dew covered the ground. They waited for everyone else to get up, knowing it wouldn't be too long after Will went around screaming. 

Slowly everyone joined them, Dustin being the last to get up and come outside. 

"Attention everyone! I have picked my theme for tonight's dinner!" There was a long silence as everyone waited for Dustin to announce his theme. 

"No drumroll?" Mike rolled his eyes but started patting the side of the chair. 

"OLD, MISOGYNISTIC TRUMPIES FROM THE SOUTH!!" Dustin was very excited and thought he did a very good job. 

Everyone looked around at each other and knew tonight was going to be fun.

"Oh this is gonna be fun, but if I hear one misogynistic joke you will be punched in the face," Max pointed out. The boys nodded in fear because she wouldn't even hesitate to slap them if they said something downgrading. Good thing they know better than most boys and don't even think that way. 

"Anyways, what's the plan for today?" 

"Well, we can swim, boat, jet ski, uh I don't know. Any other suggestions?" 

"DAY DRINK!" Will cheered.

"God no, we aren't middle-aged men with no hobbies."

"Max is right. Maybe tonight after dinner, we could do a round of beer pong?" 

"Yes, finally."

"Back to right now. What are we doing?" El was ready to go do something. 

"We should play a game," Max said, raising her eyebrows suspiciously. 

"Oh no. What game?"

"I may have asked my mom to put that lie detector game in my bag."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it!" Everyone sat around the creaky, wooden picnic table while Max ran to get the game. She rushed back and sat in the middle to explain how it works. 

"So basically, whoever is being asked the question puts their finger in this slot, and if they lie, it shocks them.  Now, who wants to go first?" The party was silent until Will spoke up and decided to go first. Somehow El ended up being the one who asked the first question. 

"Hmmm okay, I got one. Will?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever hooked up in a car? If you have, who's car was it?"

"That's not fair! You know the answer to that!"

"They don't. Now answer the question or get shocked loser," El laughed, having a little too much fun with this. He gave a hateful glance while the others were anxiously waiting for the answer. 

"Yes, I have," he said in a dull voice, pissed that he decided to go first. 

"And who's car was it?" El smirked. Will mumbled inaudibly.

"We can't hear you," Lucas points out. 

"It was Dustin's car!"  Will admits as Dustin's eyes widen.

"WHAT?"

A 5-minute explanation was said and then continued with the game. They went in a circle, so Mike was up, and Will got to ask the question. 

"At what age did you develop feelings for El?'

"Oh, I know this. I think I was like 12."

ZAPPP

Mike fell backwards from the unexpected shock, and Max bursts out laughing. 

"SHUT UP," Mike yelled irritated. His voice only made Max want to laugh more. 

"Hey, ginger! It's your turn put your finger in the hole."

"That's what she said," Dustin laughed. Max put her finger on the sensor while Mike thought of a question. She would be lying if she said she wasn't a little scared of what he was going to ask.

"Max? Have you and Lucas ever done it when we were all having a sleepover?" 

"What? No," everyone waited, and there was no zap. However, a confused face fell upon Lucas. It was his turn, and he was a little hesitant over the fact that his girlfriend got to ask the question. 

"Have you ever cheated on an assignment?" He simply answered the question with a yes, and they moved on to Dustin.

"Dustin, how many times did you actually fail your drivers test?"

"Once," his face scrunched up as the shock went through his finger. "Fine, 3 times..." Chuckles traveled around the table, and El was up.

"Is Mike a good kisser?" Mike wondered in his head why Dustin would want to know that, but he was definitely curious about El's opinion. 

"Yes."

ZAPPP

Oooooh's went around the table, and it was decided to be done with that game. The group went inside while Lucas and Max out away the game. 

"How did you not get zapped?" He whispered, and she pulled a remote out of her pocket. 

"It doesn't actually zap you if you lie. The remote controls the zap," she laughed and went inside, leaving him baffled. 

I know I haven't updated in a while, but I will try again soon! If you have any ideas to put into this book pls comment. I'm having a hard time thinking of things that happened during the early quarantine. I hope you are happy and healthy!
