Faded (Matthew Espinosa fanfic)

Truth or Dare?

Cassie's POV "Who's up for some truth or dare?" He asks. "YAS!" yells Jelly and Troy at the same time. I look down at my feet. "Hey, if you don't want to we don't have to." Matt says looking at me. "No, sure." I say quietly.

Matt, Jelly, and Troy all stand up ad walk upstairs. I hoped they didn't go into my room, because I still had a bunch of boxes of clothes and I had my dads medical box. It had all of the papers and.... my razors at the bottom. If they move that box and the paper move, they will see. Jelly thought I quit, and if Troy and Matt find out that I do this, they won't like me. It's all happened before.

I was lost in my thoughts for too long because Troy walks up and puts him hand on my shoulder and asks, "Are you coming?" "Yea." I say quietly. I stand look at me feet and walk up the stairs. Jelly is already in my room. Great. They had to pick my room. I groan and follow Matt with Troy behind me. I feel like he is watching my every move. I just ignore that feeling and walk into my room. I move around some boxes to help make a spot on the floor for us to sit. Matt saw me and started to move boxes too. I quickly move to the box with all of my dads papers in it and set it on my desk. But...... I was sure the box was completely on the desk. But I guess I was wrong. Cause it fell and all of the papers went every where. My razors fell on top. They were box cutting razors so I had the chance to cover it up with a lie.

"What are those Cassie?" Jelly asked me. "They are box cutters. My fingers will go numb with paper cuts if I open all of these without a little help." I say shuffling to clean up all of the papers. Troy sees and comes to help me the papers. I have my dads death certificate is in here. I lean for it but he already has it. He has just skimmed over the paper then it clicks. Jelly must have told him that my dad died. He pretends not to see it. Thank God. I think to myself.

"On to the game!" says Matt. We all sit in a circle and Matt asks, "Troy, truth or dare?" Troy starts listening when he hears his name. "Truth, I'll start out easy." He says. "Who in this room do you like?" He thinks for a minute. As if running everything thing he could say over and over in his head. "Well, you all know I don't dislike you, so the opposite of dislike it like. Therefore I like you all." He says, making sure he said it right. Troy thinks differently than everyone else. That's what I like about him. "No, I mean in a crush way." says Matt. "Cassie." He says. I make eye contact with him. Normally I would look away. But this time I didn't want to. I want to watch him. His every move. Breath. But me being me, I look away and at my feet. (TROYS PICTURE IS AT THE TOP!)
