Spy School Oneshots

Truth or Dare

I'll be starting this of with a Bang. That is to say, good old truth or dare. Lol, enjoy the first chapter of this oneshots book.

(Takes place after SSBI. Just so I don't have to deal with everything that happens in SSR and SSAS)

The last class just let out and most of us didn't have homework today (thankfully), so Zoe suggested we play truth or dare in her dorm room. 

"Sure," Me, Mike, Jawa and Chip agreed, since we didn't have anything better to do.

"Oh wait." I said.

"Yes Ben?" Zoe replied.

"Can I invite Erica?"

Zoe pursed her lips at this. It was no secret that she didn't really like Erica, but since I was the one asking she reluctantly agreed to let her join.

"I'll meet you guys in Zoe's room in 10 minutes," I called.

"Good luck," Jawa said. "Your going to need it if your crazy enough to try to get the Ice Queen to join us."

The others burst out laughing.

I smiled and started walking in the direction of the shooting range, I had a hunch Erica would be there training. It wasn't like I memorized her schedule or anything. 

I thought about what had Jawa said, even though I knew he was joking, partially, it had some truth in it. How in the world would I get Erica Hale to join us for truth or dare?

Whatever, I thought as I reached the shooting range. I was determined.

Just as I suspected, she was inside hitting bullseye's with each shot.

"Um, Erica." I started to get her attention.

"What do you want Ben?" She replied without a trace of emotion in her voice.

I was contemplating whether or not to ask her when I just gritted my teeth and thought, screw it!

"Would you like to play truth or dare with us?" 

My voice came out a lot more timid then I expected it to be.

Erica lowered her gun and took a moment to consider me.

"Okay look Ben, first of all, I don't play childish games. Second of all, who's 'us'?"

I was disappointed in her answer, but to be honest I saw it coming a mile away. 

"Oh ok, and to answer your question, 'us' is me, Mike, Jawa, Chip and Zoe."

Maybe it was just me or some trick of the light, but when I mentioned Zoe's name, I could swear Erica's eyes narrow a fraction of an inch.

"Fine, I'll come."

"Um... sure." I was a little confused at what made Erica change her mind so quickly, okay scratch that, I was dumbfounded. But I played along nonetheless.

Erica sighed like she was already regretting her decision. Then she mentioned for me to lead the way.

The others (who were already sitting in a circle on the floor when we arrived) were almost as surprised as I was when they saw Erica walk into Zoe's room.

"So, are we going to play or are all of you just going to gawk at me?" Erica said, breaking the silence.

Mike raised his hand, "First things first, what did Ben have to do to get you to agree to come?"
