For Fuck's Sake! (Mat Nicholls)

twenty-four

"Pass the bong over!" Mat spoke slowly with a stupid smile as he took his arm off my shoulder.

"Mate, how many hits have you had?" Oli chuckled heavily, passing the freshly-filled bong over to Mat.

"Mate, no idea," Mat laughed, taking another rip.

He offered it to me after but I refused. I was already high enough. Mat offered it to everyone else as well, but everyone also denied. We were all stoned to the max. It was a couple months after their first gig and they've been getting booked out like crazy. We all decided to hang out and smoke together as a way to congratulate everyone and to just catch up as we've all been busy with our last year of school.

Jordan suddenly leaned into the circle we were in, wiggling his eyebrows and fingers as he spoke, "You guys know what time it is."

Everyone groaned in unison, knowing exactly what Jordan was hinting at.

"Mate, don't say it," Lee complained, rubbing his forehead.

"It's truth or dare time, baby!" Jordan whooped and cheered while everyone stared at him, unamused.

"Jesus-fucking-Christ," Vegan whispered under his breath.

I giggled softly in response to everyone's dismay about Jordan's game. I was kind of up for it, to be honest.

"Okay, everyone shut up. Let's play," I wiggled my eyebrows and fist-bumped Jordan, who was smiling at my enthusiasm to play.

"Okay, I'll go first," Jordan smiled excitedly and giggled, obviously stoned as hell, "Tillie, truth or dare?" he pointed at the orange-haired girl.

Tillie glanced at Vegan for a second before turning to Jordan, "Truth," she nodded her head.

"Boring!" Oli shouted from the other side of the circle.

Alissa smacked his head lightly, shutting him
up as Mat and I both giggled at them.

Jordan hummed as he pondered what to ask Tillie, "Is it true that Vegan uses your girly body wash?"

I heard Mat giggle from beside me as we all looked at a blushing Vegan and a laughing Tillie.

"True," she confirmed as she turned towards Vegan who was blushing from embarrassment.

Lee laughed, "What flavor is it?"

"Flavor?" Deni furrowed her eyebrows.

"You know what I mean!" Lee retorted and returned his attention to Vegan.

"Sparkly birthday cake," Vegan quickly said after a few moments of silence.

The entire group bursted into laughter.

"Sparkly birthday cake!" Emma wheezed as her and Jordan rocked back and forth, practically crying from laughter.

"Dear lord," Tillie chuckled, rubbing her eyes as she finished laughing.

Everyone caught their breath and escaped from the laughing fit, a few more giggles erupting before it finally ended.

"Okay, my turn," Tillie smiled, "Mat! Truth or dare, mate?"

"Dare," Mat nodded smug, glancing at me.

I giggled at his demeanor as we all turned back towards Tillie, waiting for her to give him his dare.

"Go jump in the snow butt-naked," she snickered.

The whole group cheered as Mat pretended to be upset but he had a wild smile on his face.
