Eternal Goodbye.

PART 7 : BONFIRE FUN

That night, they gathered around the bonfire once more, the crackling flames illuminating their faces. The mood was lively as they roasted hot dogs and shared funny stories from school.

“I can’t believe Mr. Thompson thought we were cheating on the final!” Rhea laughed, recalling a particularly embarrassing moment.

“That was classic! He had no idea we were just really good at collaborating,” Bill added, chuckling.

As the night wore on, the mood shifted slightly, filled with an undercurrent of anticipation. Divine could feel the tension in the air, and she smiled knowingly at Tom.

“Okay, who wants to play a game?” Divine suggested, trying to lighten the mood.

“Truth or dare?” Rhea proposed.

“Let’s do it!” Divine agreed, excitement bubbling within her.

As the game began, laughter filled the air as each person took turns. Secrets were revealed, and dares pushed boundaries.

“I dare you to kiss the person you find most attractive!” Rhea declared, grinning mischievously.

Divine glanced at Tom, her heart racing. “I choose… Tom!”

Tom smirked, leaning in as they shared a passionate kiss, igniting a spark between them. Laughter erupted around the fire, and Divine felt a rush of happiness.

Jennifer’s turn came next. “I dare you to kiss Bill!” she said with a sly grin.

With a teasing look, Jennifer leaned over and pressed her lips against Bill’s. The group erupted in cheers.

“Okay, okay! Enough with the mushy stuff!” Gustav laughed, shaking his head but smiling.

As the game continued, the dares grew bolder, leading to unexpected moments of intimacy. The atmosphere became charged, a mix of thrill and camaraderie.

“Alright, time for a secret,” Bill said, his voice low. “I’ve had a crush on someone here for a while…”

Everyone leaned in, eager to hear who it was.

“I knew it! It’s Divine!” Jennifer teased, but Bill shook his head.

“Nope. It’s Jennifer!” he finally confessed, causing a stir among the group.

Jennifer’s face turned bright red. “You’re kidding!”

“Nope! Just thought you should know,” Bill said with a cheeky grin.

Divine watched the dynamics shift, feeling a sense of excitement. This summer was shaping up to be unforgettable.
