The Supers(On Hold)

The Dare

"Let's play truth or dare."

Mara introduced us, well Keen, to a few of the elites in her popular group. After the introductions she made the suggestion to play the fourth grade and legal torturous game which gives people the license either pry through your deepest, darkest secrets or make a fool out of yourselves, neither very appealing. Also, known as True or Dare.

"Like, that sounds totally fun Mara!" giggles out a overly tanned and ditzy Clara Modes, who is the gem of all the hormonal highschool guys, from her long thin legs to $7,000 boob job.

We are sitting on lounge chairs by the glamorous pool which was so big it could have been mistaken for a small lake. I try to contain a groan at the suggestion T or D which is designed for embarrassment and if the secrets are good possible blackmail, the fact that I wasn't on Mara's good side sealed my fate as the main target.

The first round of the game begins. Two others take their turns before its Keen's. Bethany Daniels, a semi-decent elite, asks him true or dare.

"Dare" he says with ease.

Mara looks at Bethany giving a coded look. Bethany nods slightly with a grin, " OK, I dare you to..." She pauses pretending to think deeply about the "complicated" decision she had to make,"... kiss Mara."

My breath hitches and a twinge of anger grips my chest. Keen eyes hardens slightly and then his stormy gray gaze catches mine. The moment doesn't last long before I shrug and turn to gaze at the pool acting as though I could care less, because I don't care... right?

His eyes linger on me for a hot second before he turns to look at Mara, all evidence of our short exchange replaced by his heart stealing, dimpled smirk, "Alright." He gets up and sits next to Mara on the edge of the cream lounge chair she was seated on. I glance up as he leans in aiming for her cheek. Centimeters from her face, she turns her head and smashes her red painted lips on his! Everyone says there 'ooohs' and 'aaaws' until Keen frees his face before Mara swallows him whole.

"Yummy," she says licking her bottom lip with a look of want in her michievious ice blue eyes. I look down simmering at the gross display of affection. "At least she left his lips on his face," I muttered to myself trying to stay calm. I thought no one heard me until I heard a deep soft rumbling chuckle to the right of me. Warm breath tickles my ears as a familar voice says, "Jealous?"

I scoot away holding my ear irritated the shiver going down my spine at his closeness, "As if." In the corner if my eye i see Mara watching us with a scowl, wrinkling her smoth milky face. "Yaleena why don't you go next?"

I turn and look at her, "I'm good, this isn't my type of game." A smirk spreads across her bleach white teeth, "What's wrong Yaleena scared, don't think your not going to be able to handle the pressure? Not feeling adventurous?" Normally I ignored her and stand by my desicion but the fact she is making me feel like a wimp and the high pitched voice she was using was like she was talking to child, and the left over anger from before continus to grown, she was really pissing me off.

"You know what I changed my mind" i look her squarely in the eyes and i have a challenging gleam in my dark brown eyes, "I choose Dare" sheer anger turns to confidence which is evident on my face as I smirk at her.

Mara's arrogant grin falters slightly but she recovers and grins micheviously, "As you wish dear sister."
