Nerd

Chapter 9

I'm begging you, please don't think too bad about me after reading this.

Charlie, Yas, Alex, Sam, Olivia, and I are sitting in a circle. "Okay, I'll start," Charlie says. "Alex, truth or dare?" "I'll go with truth," he says. "Okay, simple question; do you have a crush?" Charlie asks.

"Yes," Alex answers. Everyone looks at him, waiting for a name. "If you're waiting for a name, I'm not gonna give it," Alex says and laughs nervously. "You shouldn't do a truth anymore cuz now we wanna know," Yas says.

"I know," Alex says. "Anyway, let's continue. Yas, truth or dare?" he asks. "Dare, of course," Yas answers. "I dare you to dance around this room and randomly hug that girl over there," Alex says and he points at a red-haired girl in the corner of the room.

Yas stands up and dances her way to the girl. She gives her an awkward hug, the girl doesn't know how to respond, and she dances her way back. She bows and we all clap. "Very impressive," Charlie states. "Thank you, thank you," Yas smiles.

"Okay, Olivia, your turn. Truth or dare?" Yas asks. "Truth," Olivia answers. She probably doesn't want to dance. "Okay, tell us what happened between you and Charlie a few minutes ago," Yas says.

Olivia definitely doesn't want to talk about it with Yas, I can see she still is angry about what Yas said. "That's private," Olivia says. "You chose truth," Yas says. "If you wanna change to dare, you can tell me but it's not gonna be an easy dare," she continues.

"Fine, I'll tell you what happened. This asshole came to me and he broke up with me," Olivia says. Yas laughs. "And what did I say a minute before that happened? Oh wait, I remember. I said you wouldn't last that long together. I should become a fortune-teller," Yas states.

"Ugh," Olivia says. "Sam, it's your turn," she continues, she wants to change the subject. "Truth," Sam says. "Who is your crush?" Olivia asks. "Uh- dare?" he asks. "No, no, no, we wanna know," Olivia says.

"It's- it's a boy from another class," Sam stutters. "So you're gay?" Yas asks. "Yeah," Sam states. "Welcome to the club," Yas says. "Wait, you're gay too?" Sam asks. "Bi-sexual, I love everyone, it doesn't matter who you are. It's actually really handy," Yas says.

"Oh, okay," Sam says. "Charlie, truth or dare?" "Dare, I'm not a wimp," Charlie says. "I dare you to kiss Jenn," Sam states. "What-?!" I say. Charlie laughs. "C'mon, nerd, let's kiss," he says.

Damn, that does sound hot. I love it when he calls me nerd. Charlie bows to me and kisses my lips. They're so soft and yummy. Damn, what the hell, mind stop! I hate my mind.

Charlie stops and leans back. "Created a crush yet?" Yas whispers in my ear. I look at her angrily. "Nerd, your turn. Truth or dare," Charlie says. Without knowing it I look at his lips the whole time. "Uh- dare," I say when I realize I am staring at his lips for too long.

Shit, I didn't think this through. I should've picked truth, I can't do a dare.

"You're not scared, I see," Charlie says. I smile. Nevermind, I can do the dare. This was totally worth it. "I guess you're gonna have to drink," Charlie says.

"What?! No!" I say. "It's the dare, drink one red cup," Charlie says. It was not worth it. I should've picked truth. "Can I have a truth?" I ask. "No," Charlie states deviously. I sigh. Yas reaches me a red cup.

I look into it and smell it. It doesn't smell that bad. Maybe it's just like lemonade? I grab the red cup and drink all of it at one time. Nope, definitely not like lemonade. "Great job," Charlie smiles. "You like it?" Yas asks me as she reaches me another cup.

Actually, yes. The taste, it screams for more. I can sleep here tonight. Why won't I get some more? Without answering Yas' question, I grab the red cup and drink all of it. Everyone claps.

"Do you have more?" I ask Yas. "Sure, let me get it," Yas answers. She walks to the kitchen and comes back with some cups. She gives everyone a cup. I drink mine, again at one time. I grab Yas' cup.

"Hey, not that fast. It's full of whiskey, that's not good for you," Yas says. "I don't care," I state and drink the cup. Charlie smiles. "That's a lot better than the nerd version," he laughs. I grab his cup.

"Jenn, easy, those cups are not the right size," Yas says. I drink the cup but Yas takes it from me. "Ugh, fine, I'll get it myself," I say. "You're not gonna get far," Charlie laughs. I stand up and immediately fall to the ground.

I didn't know it was that bad, I felt nothing when I sat. I stand up again and fall again. Charlie stands up and helps me. "Where do you wanna go, darling," he says. "Darling?" I ask. "Yeah, it doesn't matter what I say to you now, you're not gonna remember it anyway," Charlie says.

Charlie holds one of my arms to make sure I don't fall. I lift my other arm and tick on Charlie's nose with my pointer finger. "I spelled your nose, now you can't sneeze anymore," I say. Charlie laughs.

"Oh, that will be a problem," he says laughing. I nod exaggeratedly. "I walk to the dance room with Charlie by my side. "You wanna dance," I ask him. "I don't think you're able to dance, nerd," Charlie says.

I let go of Charlie and make a weird dance move and fall to the ground. "I can still dance, you see," I state. "Yeah, I see," Charlie says. "You wanna do something else?" Charlie asks. "Yeah, I wanna show you how I eat five marshmallows at the same time," I state.

I stand up to walk to the kitchen but after one step I fall again. This time, I fall on the table counter and everything turns black.

Okay... So... I hope you don't hate me.

Question of the day: how many marshmallows can you fit in your mouth at the same time? Lmaooo

Thanks for reading and I'll see you next chapter!
