Edited 30/04/2025

*time skip to when i arrive at sway*

when I enter I get weird looks from everyone

"hey guys, where's Jaden?"

"in his room" Bryce coldly replies to me

I run upstairs and knock on his door

"Jaden"

"Riley?"

"yes?"

"please leave"

"what's wrong Jaden?"

"just go fuck Vinnie already"

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"yes you do Riley"

"I really dont, please tell me Jaden!"

"He sent me pictures of you in his gamer chair yesterday, dont think i wouldnt notice!"

"Jaden please, dont mess up whatever we have please"

"Im not the one messing it up here Riley, i knew it, of course you choose Vinnie, always Vinnie, Vinnie, Vinnie!"

"Fine Jaden, if you wanna act like some drama queen, feel welcome to do so, but im not taking your bullshit"

As tears threaten to fall from my eyes, i quickly wipe them as i run to my car.

back at the house I just try to ignore what just happened and focus on getting ready

i wear a small, cute and tight dark blue dress.

Descending the stairs, I find the room already bustling with people. Familiar faces from our visits to the two houses greet me. Chase and Jaden are engrossed in conversation on the couch.

As I make my way down, Jaden notices me.

i scowl at him, death starring him right in the eyes

"Hey, Riley," Chase greets me with a warm smile, and I respond by hugging him.

"Hey, Chase," I reply, giggling.

"Want to join a game of truth or dare with some of the others?" Chase proposes. We agree, and soon I'm seated among Vinnie, Bryce, Josh, Tony, Ondreaz, Mac, Nick, Kio, Avani, and of course, Jaden and Chase.

"Alright, I'll start. Riley, truth or dare?" Bryce initiates.

"Dare," I choose.

"Okay, kiss Jaden," Bryce challenges, and a sudden freeze engulfs me.

"I'd rather not," I retort.

"Come on, Riley, are you a loser?" is heard from someone in the circle

"Definitely not," I counter.

"Then kiss him."

"Fine," I agree. Sliding closer, I lean in as though to kiss Jaden, but instead, I plant a peck on his cheek.

"Ooh," a hushed murmur ripples through the circle as my playful act gains attention.

he smirks and smack his lips as we both sit back down

"Alright, Chase, truth or dare?" I pose.

"Truth," Chase decides.

"Would you date Noen?" I inquire, taken aback by his response.

"IDK, I think yes," Chase's answer widens my eyes in surprise.

We continue playing several rounds, the atmosphere growing increasingly intoxicating.
