Truth or Dare

10.

I wake up at 7am to my alarm blaring from somewhere on the floor. I groan and roll out of my bed onto the floor to find the source of it's incessant screaching. When I finally discover my alarm clock, wedged between my bed and nightstand, it's been calling out for a good five minutes.

I climb off the floor, place the clock back on the nightstand and make my way out to and kitchen to make breakfast.

I sit down on my sofa cereal bowl in one hand and book in the other.

(A.n I know I'm mentioning books alot I just love them) (basically I'm reflecting my dream life into this fanfic)

I flick through until I find my favourite page, the quote circled in pink  highlighter, my sister did this before I left so every time I needed to hear it and she wasn't there to quote it to me I could find it easily. 

"You'll never be able to find yourself if you're lost in someone else... "
-Colleen Hoover-

Fuck!  Now I've just confused myself even further. Fuck, fuck, fuck!

I close the book, seriously regretting even picking it up. I finish my cereal and push myself up off the sofa to get dressed. Shoving on a beige t-shirt and a pair of denim jeans. Its my day off so I decide I'm going to spend it browsing through the local thrift shops.

I grab a tote bag from the hook by the door, throw my keys, purse, book (The Fault In Our Stars) and phone inside. I think I must have read that book more times than the book itself is worth. At this point it's just a comfort thing, like a little kid has a blanket I have a book.

I step out of my apartment onto the small landing next to the stairwell. I look up to see Bailey and Madelyn walking down, Rudy and Chase trailing behind them.

I pick up my pace walking down the hall and pray that they haven't seen me.

"Oi! You! STOP RIGHT THERE!" I hear Chase call, I spin on my heal to face them.

"Heyy guys...didn't see you there." I lie, I'm an actress for gods sake is that the best exuse I could come up with?

It seems as if Chase is thinking the same thing.

"Seriously? Your supposed to be an actor for fuck sake." He laughs as I let them catch up.

"I know, I just don't like you all that's it, you smell REALLY bad!" I kid.

"Yes, very true, we pong!" Madalyn chimes in pinching her nose frowning.

"Where you off to?" Bailey asks gesturing to my bag.

"Thrifting." I say as if its a totally normal thing to do on a Wednesday morning.

"Right..." she nods, a judgy smile sneaking across her face.

"Oh piss off!" I laugh.

"how about you lot?" I ask looking back at them as a collective.

"No idea, those two are going shopping, how thrilling and I'm being dragged, so Im dragging Rudy too so I dont die a horrible death alone." Chase pouts .

I laugh "wait I thought you had to work today?" I look at Chase and Madelyn in confusion.

"Oh yeah, directors sick so we have the day off." Chase shrugs.

"Oh nice." I nod

And then I have the best idea... just to make Chase suffer a little, because it would be hella funny and I'm bored.
