Hey Angel’. A young woman says hugging me, I stiffen before remembering who she actually is Rosaline
‘Good evening Aunt Rosaline’. I greet politely, I settle down in the dinning only to realize I was the only kid here
‘Angel the kids are downstairs’. Rose mutters, I stand up before hurrying downstairs
The smell of tobacco takes me by surprise as I enter the den, I spot the popular group in school in a corner laughing at some joke, I look at Ryan staring deeply into the blue eyes. He looks at me anxious and my guts just tell me to activate my mind reading skill.
She’s here, jeez didn’t expect to see her in this party…. Ryan thinksHump ugly bitch Ryan is in for a treat, I mean Sam is so smart to make that dare
Bitch
I turn off the disgusting thoughts chuckling harshly
The only thing I can make out is that I am somehow connected to a dare …
‘Hey angel’. Sam calls me, I put my head low obviously knowing that I am in for ridicule. I walk towards “the group” thinking about some things
‘Oh my gosh I can’t believe Sam the hot sexy Sam is calling me’. I scream fake blushing, Sam smirks before winking at me
‘OMG you are so hot’. I say annoyed by my own tone
‘So Angel, we want to play Never Have I? but by the way how did you get invited? No offense’ Sam asks
‘None taken, met Aunt Rosaline in an orphanage’,
There are 7 of us there, Felicity, she’s in my Biology class, Sam, Alex, Ryan, Hannah, my chemistry partner, Brittany the queen bitch and Samara. I join the circle sighing. Looking at Ryan I can tell he wants to make me drunk and start spilling my inner mind
In this game if one has done it before no drink, that’s how they play the game here
‘Never have I had sex before’. Ryan says smirking, grudgingly I take a cup of alcohol gulping the drink.
‘Never have I shot someone before or gotten shot’. Felicity says, everyone takes a drink except for me, Immediately everyone looks at me
‘Don’t ask’. I say remembering those horrible memoriesRyan’s POV’s
‘Chapter TenDon’t ask’ Angel says, I look at her shocked before an idea reaches my brain
‘Sam, tell everyone to say stuffs Angel’s probably never done before’. I mutter to Sam, he sends the text message to everyone except Angel, she looks confused when everyone looks at their phone but replace it with a small smile
‘Never Have I had a make out session with a hot guy’. Brittany says, this time no one takes a gulp
I’m impressed, she has managed to get her first kiss, she has shot someone before
Looks like we have a bad girl here
‘Never have I ridden on a dirt bike’. Hannah says, Brittany and some other chick takes a gulp but not Angel
‘When?’ I challenge angrily
‘I own one’. Angel deadpans
Whoa
‘Never have I had visited an illegal street racing show’ All the girls take one except for Angel
‘When?’ I confront
’14 years old me followed my boyfriend’s brother’. She says, Angel first came to New York when she was 15 so she could have possibly had a boyfriend.
That explains the kiss
‘Never have I gotten drunk’. I ask angel, this time we are on full glaring had session
‘I have gotten drunk numerous times’
‘Never have I ate a hash brownie’
‘Eaten it’
‘Never have I stayed in jail’
‘Oh I stayed in jail twice, once for trespassing and the other I ain’t goanna say’
‘Never have I had a smoke’
‘I had it once, didn’t like it’
‘Never have I had a god damn boyfriend who actually dated me for more than a month’ I ask frustrated, Angel pulls out her phone and start scrolling, she stops smiling sickly at me
‘Had a boyfriend who loved me we dated for 2 years and I called off the relationship when I moved here’. She deadpans, shoving her phone in my face.
‘Guys, um it’s okay’. Sam says, I notice that everyone is staring at us angrily I stand up with the stupid phone going to the bathroom. I look at the phone looking at the video she probably wanted me to watch. I play the video not knowing what to expect
‘Xavier’. A warm voice calls, a boy around 15 turns back and boy must I say he is hot, he is in a blue room on a large purple bed
‘Pumpkin what do you want? You are recording me aren’t you?’ he asks looking at the phone, although Angel’s face isn’t showing I can feel her grinning
‘Say anything you want to say but be mindful of your word I don’t want a bad word there’ Angel sweet voice says
‘Well I’m going to talk about what I love about you, as your name implies you are as beautiful as an angel, I love everything about you and I’m so glad I got to meet you. Although I may just be 15 and we have a long way to go in life I wish you’ll stay with me forever. Angel you are so kind, remember the time Betty was telling you off because of your unusual looks, you just smiled and left her alone. My Angel is a sweetheart who is very brilliant and I love you now come over here’. Xavier says grinning, the phone is black now that means it’s put on the table before I hear some sound that means they are kissing
‘Xavier I didn’t stop the video, let go of me. Did you give me a hickey, mom would not approve of this…..
The video stops and I find myself happy for 14 years old Angel, he actually didn’t say she was ugly but unusual now that’s young love
I come out of the bathroom to be confronted by Angel who angrily takes her phone from me
This will help in the bet, she’ll gradually opening up to me
…

Let’s see what’s happen next
