Sophie POV

Tysm for 900 reads everyone!! Love you all 🥰!! <3 <3

"Truth or dare, Tam?" I asked.

"Uhh... Dare," Tam said.

"I dare to drink whatever elixir that Keefe picks out."

"No. NO. I can't do that."

"You have to! Or you have to remove some clothing."

"Ugh, I don't want to do either of those!" Tam groaned.

Keefe turned to me a gave me a high five.

"GREAT dare Foster!"

Tam rolled his eyes, "I'll do the dare," He mumbled.

"YESSSSS!" He shouted, "Dex, I need your help with this one."

Dex stood up quickly, "On it."

I watched as the walked out of the room to make whatever mysterious elixir that Keefe thought Tam deserved. I looked over at Tam and saw a horrified look on his face, and I felt kind of bad. But at the same time... This was gonna be hilarious. Keefe and Dex took a while trying to prepare the Elixir, and everyone decided to do one of those, 'One Word Stories', where one person says one word of a story, and then another person says another word, and so on.

"Okay, I'll start," I said to everyone, "Umm... One."

"Day," Biana finished.

"I," Fitz continued.

"Saw," Tam joined in.

"A," Marella added.

"Leaf," Linh said. Everyone gave her confused looks, "What? Leaves are pretty."

"The," Wylie said.

"Leaf," Fitz carried on.

"Was," Biana suggested.

"Cute," I said blushing, "What? If leaves can be pretty, then they can also be cute!"

Everyone burst out laughing, and just then Dex and Keefe barged back into the room. Keefe was holding a purple elixir with an evil glint in his eyes.

"Drink up, Tammy Boy. You're gonna love this," Keefe smirked.

Tam moaned, "Great. I almost forgot about the dare..." He took the elixir from Keefe's hand and took a deep breath, before downing the whole thing in one gulp, "Ew, why do these always taste so gross?" Tam asked.

"Tam... Are you feeling alright?" Dex said cautiously.

"Um, yes? Why wouldn't I?" He said slowly, fearing the worst. I tried to hold back my laughter but I just couldn't. Linh gasped.

"TAM! YOUR HAIR!" She cried. Everyone stared in disbelief at Tam. And his... Bald head. His hair was GONE. All of the his hair was scattered on the his mattress. Tam reached up to feel his head.

"Keefe..." He warned, his voice low and gravely, "Do you have an antidote for this elixir? Because so help me if you don't, you're gonna wish you were never born."

Everyone froze, and Keefe... Looked kind of scared.

"Relax guys, I'm kidding. But I do hope you have a cure for this. Please," He laughed. Everyone started to join in with laughter, and Linh went over to rub her brother's newly bald head.

"I think you look good bald," She giggled.

"I'm glad you think so," He smiled.

"Here's the antidote for it," Dex handed him a white elixir.

"Aw, I don't get to enjoy Tammy Boy's bald head a little longer?" Keefe whined.

"I hate you Keefe," Tam groaned.

"Same goes for you Bangs Boy. Or should I call you... Bald Boy?"

"KEEFE!" I cried. He laughed loudly and sat next to me.

"I'm kidding, Foster," He smiled warmly. And I just wanted to melt into his arms. To just stay in his warm embrace forever and ever.

"Do you guys want to start playing Spin The Bottle now?" Wylie asked.

"Yeah, sure," Fitz said.

"Let's start," Marella agreed.

"How do you play it, Sophie?" Linh asked me.

"Well, basically, you place a bottle on the floor, and you have everyone sit in a circle. And then let's say the bottle lands on Dex. Now Dex will spin the bottle and whoever the bottle lands on you have to kiss," I explained.

"You mean on the lips?" Tam raised his eyebrows.

"It can be on the lips or the cheek. But the person that's getting kissed gets to choose whether it's on the lips or the cheek."

"Oh, okay," Marella nodded.

"This sounds like a lot of fun! I'll be right back with a bottle!" Biana exclaimed, and left the room for a bottle.

Everyone else collected in a circle on the floor. I looked around at everyone. On the outside I looked calm, and cool, but secretly, I was freaking out. What if the bottle landed on Fitz and I? Or what if it landed on me and... Keefe. Not that I didn't want to kiss Keefe or anything, just that if we ever kissed, I didn't want it to be playing a silly Spin The Bottle game. I wanted it to mean something, you know?

And not to mention it landing on Fitz. Normally I wouldn't mind, normally I would be over the moon at a chance to finally kiss Fitz. But not anymore. Recently he's been... Weird. Especially when I hang around Keefe. He acts like he knows something I don't. But that doesn't even make sense. And Ro? She is SO confusing. She always teases Keefe on liking me or something, which is so dumb. He flirts with everybody, it doesn't mean anything. Now that I'm thinking about it, he probably just likes some random girl at Foxfire or something.

"Guys! I'm back!" BIana said excitedly, shaking me from my confusing thoughts.

"This is gonna be fun," Marella snickered evilly.

Oh no. What have I gotten myself into?
