"How about truth or dare?" Charlie suggested and Raine and I groaned in unison.
"No, what are we five?" Raine complained.
"Maybe you," Dylan mumbled, continuing their ridiculous rivalry.
Raine rolled her eyes. "At least I don't punch like a girl," she shot back and crossed her arms over her chest.
"You wanna find out?" Dylan challenged with a smirk. He leaned up and pretended to mimic a fighting stance. Oh God.
"Let's go then," Raine said as she leaned up as well, bringing a fist next to her jaw to seem more menacing.
"Can you please stop fighting with my fourteen-year old sister? Thank you," I said, shaking my head at Dylan's bizarre desire to quarrel with my sister. My comment made Charlie and Jack chuckle. Dylan chuckled and sat back down by the fire.
"That's right, bitch. Sit down," Raine muttered, a smug grin on her face. Jack held a hand up and Raine slapped it while Dylan cocked his head to the side, giving his brother a look.
"Seriously?" he said, flickering his gaze between Raine and Jack.
"Hoes before bros," Jack said in response, shrugging his shoulders, but Raine whacked him.
"I'm not a hoe," she frowned and Jack tried to give her an apologetic glance. "If I'm a hoe then you're a tool."
"Ouch," Charlie pretended to grimace at Jack who playfully narrowed his eyes at Raine.
"Stay out of this Romeo," Dylan warned and pointed a finger at Charlie who lifted his arms in confusion.
"Why do you hate me so," he said sarcastically, placing a hand over his heart and trying desperately to fight back a smirk in order to keep his feigned hurtful expression intact.
"Why do you even have to ask?" Dylan replied with a hint of a smirk as I watched with amusement as the conversation moved from person to person.
"Okay, you know what? That hurt my feelings," Charlie continued his pretend hurt play.
"Okay, both of you shut up, no one likes hearing you argue or whatever you two are doing," Fed spoke with his head in his hands.
"Would you rather hear me kicking his ass?" Dylan smirked and a sly grin crossed Charlie's face.
"More like the other way around."
"We already did this once, Romeo. You saw how that ended up," Dylan warned as he began to lean up, still smirking.
"Technically we didn't get to see how it ended because Nora stopped me before I could really kick your ass," Charlie shot back as he also got up from his place by the fire, the sly grin very much still plastered across his face.
"Yeah, well I guess you'll see when I've got you on the floor in less than three seconds."
"Kinky," I muttered and Sam and Thomas burst out laughing next to me, causing me to grin. I looked up to see Dylan and Charlie looking at me, having heard my joke.
Dylan stared at me with a speechless expression while Charlie turned and gave the dark-haired boy a suggestive wink before turning back to me and smirking. I threw my head back in laughter. Dylan tried to say something, but gave up and sat back down as the rest of us continued to chuckle. The air grew quiet again before Bianca spoke up. "How about two truths and a lie?" she suggested. She looked around for approval and smiled when she heard murmurs of excitement.
"Alright, I'll go first," Thomas said. "Umm, I had a dog named Sparky, I know how to juggle..." he trailed off before he turned his head slightly downwards to face me with a smirk forming on his lips. "And in my junior year I went to prom with Piper Daniels."
