"Were you—" He didn't let me complete.

"I was stalking you!" He blurted.

"Why would you do that Allan Colebrooks?" I asked. A smile passing over my face.

"Cus I like you?" He spoke, as as if a mystery was to be solved. "Or I love you? Or you are—" I didn't let him complete.

"You love me! Thats why you were stalking me." I launched for him. He was sitting on the edge of the bed and I was lying down on it. I hugged him from the back and he waited for a minute before taunting me to wear some clothes and how we were getting late just because of me.

There was a bonfire around the darker edge of the resort where the woods began. It was just around midnight and so the Chaperons were all sleeping. A few students started it even though I think we are not allowed to. Almost everyone was here. Mrs. Megan—one of the Chaperones was sitting in one corner with a stall wrapped around her shoulders drinking what I assumed was beer.

Mrs. Megan was a history teacher. But she never felt like a teacher. She looks too young. She is ruffled up with the kids like she is studying with them and not teaching. For all we know she could be fired for not..well..chaperoning.

"Is that Mrs. Megan?" Allan asked. Suddenly his voice made me grip his hand even harder than I was already holding it before.

"Yeah!" We were both surprised.

"Anyways! Drinks?" Allan asked.

"You are not drinking." I replied.

"What? Why?"

"You're a light drinker Allan!"

"But that doesn't mean I can't drink."

"Not more than a bottle of beer!" I replied.

Mrs. Megan had gotten up and was walking back to her room. Since that seat was empty, I and Allan took few bottles of beer and sat on this cut out wooden log. We had enough space for another person to sit next to us. 

Cole, Nishi and Mike were sitting on the log opposite to us. A bunch of other kids were sitting on the other few logs and one of logs was completely empty. and there were people all around the place—standing and talking.

It was cold. But not so much. It was what i'd call a nice weather.

"Let's play never have I ever!" Mike spoke up.

We all agreed. Mike went first. "Never have I ever... Kissed a teacher." No one drank for that.

"That was stupid!" Nishi said. "Never have I ever seen a dirty magazine!" She drank with confidence.

I saw Allan drinking beside me. Nishi winked at Allan. I seriously don't wanna know what they did. Mike drank too.

"I got one! Never have I ever been to a strip club." Nate asked. More and more people were coming and sitting with their beer bottles.

"That's illegal bitch and why would anyone admit doing that?" The girl next to him said.

"Uhh. Then, never have I ever worn a padded bra!" Nate said, giggling.

"Oh seriously! Go fuck yourself Nate!" Everyone looked in her direction as Ashley walked up and sat next to me. I could see how suddenly Allan's body language changed.

"Never have I ever been gay!" She looked at me. A cunning smile spreading over her face.

"You meant 'never have I ever been desperate'?" I air quoted as I spoke. I suddenly stood up. She was just making me mad. I just wish she wasn't here at all.

"Jace!" Allan stood up behind me holding my arm and pushing me behind him gently. A beer bottle in his hand.

"Ashley the problem with you... is that you try to hard. Cmon. We all know you want all that attention. But give up baby!" He tapped her cheeks lightly twice and smiled.

"Hell get a life. Look at me. I got the guy AND the attention." Allan chugged some beer from the bottle and suddenly threw the rest at her face and dropped the bottle on the ground as it shattered into bits.

He looked towards me and instantly kissed me. Held my hand tight with his and looked back at Ashley. "Oh I've been so fucking gay! Do what you can." And he pulled me with him as he walked.

He was. So. Fucking. High.
