Behind the Game Face

halloween nights

After Jeremiah took the body shot off Liv, she was given a wipe to clean off her stomach and the couple sat down on their spot next to me, giggling.

Jeremiah passed the deck of cards clockwise and I was thankful it wasn't the other way because I didn't want to be the third person up already.

"Make out with a window for one minute."
"Kiss someone whose name starts with the same letter as yours."
"Remove the biggest piece of clothing you have on."
"Give a lap dance to a person of the opposite sex."
"Take four shots."

Dare after dare, people were either forced to drink because they didn't want to complete their tasks or willingly completed their dares which resulted in the game players cheering or egging each other on.

"Kiss the person who's caught your eye." Her voice sounded like she was a princess. It was fitting considering she was dressed as Snow White.

I watched with mild interest as I was the entire game. I didn't really need to worry about being brought into these dares nor worry about it being my turn yet. There was about 15 of us around the fire.

The girl, I think she was on the soccer team, looked around the camp fire shyly before her eyes fell upon somebody. I followed her gaze to Princeton.

Taking a sip out of my cup, I realized I finished my drink and went to grab Liv's. She gave me it without even realizing.

He shifted in his seat, clearing his throat as he glanced at Elijah next to him. The girl stood up and I was given a name as her friend cheered for her.

"Go Chasity!" Chasity. It was a pretty name for a really pretty girl. Ava walked carefully past those around her before she stood infront of Princeton.

Sheepishly, she held up her card before shrugging softly. I could see his face as she blocked my view but I didn't miss the way she leaned down and the way his hands came to her hips.

I finished Liv's drink and stood up to get more.

"I'll be right back." I smiled at Liv as I stood up, wobbling for a moment.

"You sure?" Liv asked airily. "I can come with."

"I'm all out." I shook my head, dumping the cup to show that there was no liquid. Turning, I went for the back door, ignoring how Chasity was still in the same spot and how the bonfire cheered.

I laughed to myself. Hey, at least one of us would be getting some action tonight.

Not that...I wanted action. It's just a phrase. I was perfectly content with me, myself and I.

Entering the back door, I walked past the crowd to get to the kitchen and it didn't take me long to find Gabby there as well, pouring herself a drink.

"Lil!" She giggled, bringing me into a hug.

"Gabby!" I laughed back, accepting her hug. "You all out too?"

"You already know girl." She responded lightly. "Here let me." She took my cup, pouring more alcohol in it. Compared to my drink from when we were sober, this one had way more alcohol and less chaser in it but at this point I didn't even mind.

"You having fun?" I asked her, bobbing to the music.

"Yeah! I heard there's a bonfire so I might go to it."

"I just came from there."

"How was it?"

"Left when Snow White started making out with Princeton but other than that, it was nice!" I laughed to myself and Gabby's smile fell a little as she looked at me.
