Games

Cassie’s POV

10:45am

‘Well this is going to be interesting.’ I thought, as Sarah and Niall removed the plates from the table. They came back and sat down. “I’ll go first, as I thought up the game.” Zayn proudly promoted himself. “Hmm,” He looked around the table. “Niall, who was the first girl you ever kissed?”

Niall, went a little red. “Her name was Marsha, I was seven.” He replied. “My turn. Harry, how many girlfriend’s have you had?”

“I’ve had twelve. Now we have to ask some serious questions. Sarah, are you single?” He asked, looking Sarah directly in the eye.

“Yes. I’m currently single. Louis, when was the last time you got drunk?” She asked.

“Three weeks ago at an after party. Josh, did you ever have a crush on one of your mate’s siblings?” Louis asked.

Josh looked indifferent. “Nope. Cassie. If you were marooned on an island with just a single person you know personally, who would you like it to be?”

I looked down at the table and thought hard about this. “I would want it to be Sarah and Stef; Sarah’s brain and Stef’s humor.” I looked back up and then looked around. “Liam,” I paused, thinking really hard about this. “What is the stupidest thing you have ever done?”

Liam looked at me blankly for one moment. “I got drunk.” He said simply. “Stef, I dare you to put an ice cube down your top.” Stef gave him a confused and bewildered look. But she did it anyway. It was really funny, it melted leaving a dark mark on her top. We all laughed.

“Hmm ok. I can only truth or dare Zayn now. Zayn. I dare you to kiss Cassie.” Stef giggled.

Zayn looked over at me and smirked. Suddenly I felt like fainting, butterflies and being sick all at once. “On the lips.” Stef added sniggering at me. I knew I was in for it. Revenge was going to be mine sooner or later Stef. Very soon in fact. Zayn leaned in, and before I knew it, was sitting up straight again. There was no moment. I didn’t even know him. What was I thinking.

“Game over.” Zayn said. I sighed looking around the room. We were still sitting at the table.

“I feel like some fresh air.” Sarah said, standing up to leave. She crossed to the other side of the living room, to the wall of glass. It had a sliding door. She opened it and the bitter sweet wind flew in.

Sarah’s POV

11:00am

“Let’s sit outside. We should play pictionary.” I suggested, walking out to the edge of the deck. I looked down below into the garden. A pool sat directly below me, and then a lush, green garden, filled with Australian natives. “You sure do like your plants.” I commented, turning and slowly going down the stairs leading into the backyard.

“We’ll play pictionary later.” Niall said, following me out.

Somehow, we all ended up sitting in the garden under the pergola. “Twenty questions anybody?” Josh offered.

“Yeah sure.” I answered.

“Ok. What’s your greatest fear?” He asked.

I hesitated before answering. “Drowning.”

“What makes you laugh?”

“The best moments.”

“Where were you born?”

“Here in Melbourne.”

“Have you ever been over seas?” By now, everyone else was doing the same, but in a larger group.
