On Jenna's sheet of spin the bottle there were a couple sections. There were two in the middle, "Kiss to the Left" and "Kiss to the Right." Silly. Then, there were other categories. "Kiss the Same Sex," and "Take off one item of clothing." I looked at my black and white pajamas. "Truth or Dare," and "Never Have I ever," were options. There was an option of a big door with a yellow knob on it, with closet under it. I hated to think what that meant. As cute as these boys were, closet kissing is gross.
The boys around us looked at the bottle with such intent, so eager. I rolled my eyes and hopped down from my bunk. We all sat in a little circle, sitting boy then girl. Nick and Aiden C were on either sides of me. Nick winked and Aiden said hi when we sat down. Jenna put the bottle right in the center. It was long, like an Izzy bottle but covered in dirt and grime.
"How long have you had that bottle?" Arianna asked, reading my mind clearly. Jenna shrugged. Reassuring
"So, who's first?" Jeni said after a long silence.
"You, because you spoke first," Jenna said, snickering. Jeni rolled her eyes and sighed. She grabbed the bottle and flicked it. It spun around and around, somehow staying right in the center of the paper. It slowed and landed.
"Same Sex Kiss!" Jenna yelled. I felt Nick groan and I silently laughed. Jeni looked about the circle.
"Who do I pick," she said, pointing at each one of us. She finally landed on Jesse. "You'll have to do." They leaned forward from across the circle and their lips collided. For a brief moment they sat there, then pulled back.
"Oooooh" I said. Jeni punched me in the arm.
"Back off," she said. "You wouldn't even do it." It's true I wouldn't.
"What happens if we refuse?" I asked, curious. Jenna snickered. "If you refuse three times," she said," you have to jump into the lake naked, Parent Trap style." The room erupted in oohs and laughter. Why was I here again?
