We Were Infinite

Part 1: The beginning!

"Where?" Micah asked as we all spawned back at the meeting table.

"Okay, there was a long dish, in the sink that someone didn't put up, or even rinse!" Elijah said. We all gasped in horror, Shiloh's mom specifically told us that we had to wash the dishes! Everyone knew that.

"Anyone sus?" Shiloh asked as she looked around at all of us.

There was a moment of silence before Judah yelled, "Britney's sus!" He said as he pointed at her.

"What? I literally didn't do anything!" Britney said back.

"Mm, that's sus!" Judah yelled, still pointing at her, "That's sus right there."

"I just came here to say hi to your mom!" Britney smiled before gesturing to me, "Like (Y/N)?"

"Okay she's the imposter! You can hate me forever if I'm wrong but we have to vote Britney!" Judah said exasperatedly.

"Well, maybe it's not-"

"Alright, good enough for me." Elijah shrugged as they all voted. Britney was soon thrown out and... Was not the imposter. Well, I tried to tell everyone...

"Alright everybody! Mom gave each of us a list of tasks, so get 'em done!" Shiloh declared, her tone sharp as she handed out the task sheets like a bossy camp counselor.

"Yeah! And remember, there's still two imposters!" I shouted, trying to add some drama to the situation as I glanced down at my sheet.

The list read:

It looked simple enough, until I got to the plant task. That one was annoyingly detailed, practically seven steps in one. Ugh. Maybe volunteering to help Shiloh's mom wasn't my brightest idea, but hey, I was trying to be nice.

With a resigned sigh, I wandered into one of the rooms. That's when I saw David crouched near a broken glass cup on the floor.

"Oh my gosh! You guys, you gotta—" David shouted, his voice frantic, but he froze mid-sentence as he spotted me, Elijah, and Judah staring at him in collective shock.

"Okay, it was like this when I found it," he tried to explain, raising his hands in defense.

Despite his protests, David was swiftly thrown out. I winced as he hit the ground hard. "Maybe we should've gone over the rules before starting," I muttered. "Not everyone knows how this game works."

Elijah shook his head, reading something on his phone. "David was... NOT the imposter. Dang it!"

I leaned over to catch a glimpse of Josiah's phone screen. The meeting was officially over, and I decided to leave Elijah and Judah to whatever chaos they wanted to stir up next. I had tasks to finish—totally wasn't going to die or anything, right?

When I reached the card swipe station, I found Daniel standing there, muttering to himself.

"Swipe the card. Card not accepted. What does that even mean?" he grumbled, swiping furiously.

I walked up, swiped my card on the first try, and turned to leave, feeling oddly smug.

Daniel just stared at me in shock. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing..." he groaned, resuming his battle with the card swiper.

Humming to myself, I strolled over to a nearby tablet to start my download. Just as I was about to finish, the familiar buzz of a meeting being called made me groan inwardly.
