Not Your Average "Love Story"

Chapter 7: Scars and Bars

I sat there anxiously waiting for someone to go into the closet.

"I'll go first." Brianna volunteered. She turned to look at me and smirked before she made her way into the large closet.

As soon as she closed the door, everyone's eyes directed at Hayes.

"Well I wonder who's going in there?" He questioned while walking towards the door, sanding his hands mysteriously.

I gave a nervous laugh and watched as he opened the door, then closed it behind him.

"What should we do for seven whole minutes?" I asked impatiently.

The room was quiet for a moment, until Mario had his "I got an idea" face on.

"How about we listen to what's happening through the door?" He asked with a curious smirk.

"That's kind of rude, don't you think?" Michaela asked.

"Fine, how about for one minute at least?" He begged while putting his hands together and making a pouting face.

"Fine." Michaela finalized, rolling her eyes so far back I thought they almost disappeared.

Mario, Michaela, Hunter and I, began to tiptoe towards the closed closet door. Mario was the first to press his ear against it. I was the second, being somewhat curious myself.

At first there was no noise whatsoever, then we heard something. It sounded like a belt fell down, or was slapped against something. Whatever it was, I didn't want to know.

Growing slightly uncomfortable, I made my way to the bed, where I sat and fiddled with my thumbs.

I looked up to find Hunter making his way towards me.

"Uncomfortable too?" He asked in a low whisper.

"Yea." I whispered back with a small laugh.

He joined me on the bed, and we had a small conversation until seven minutes had fully passed by. My phone went off with a loud buzz, that made my heart stop for a short second.

I looked over to the closet, and saw Mario banging on the door. "Time to get out!" He called loudly.

Another minute had passed, until we heard the closet creak open. Hayes was the first to step out, then Brianna. I got off the bed, and walked to the closet, where I took a quick peek inside.

There were clothes strewn everywhere, belts all over the floor, and the bathroom door was now opened.

I didn't even want to think about what might've happened in there.

I turned to look at Brianna, who winked at me, then at Hayes, who did the same thing. Cringe.

"Well I'm next." Michaela stated before walking into the closet and shutting the door behind her.

"Go Mario." I said while pointing towards the closed door.

"Already on it." He stated before walking into the closet.

We all stood there awkwardly for a good minute until Hunter and I decided to go downstairs to eat something.

"I'm not wasting seven minutes of my life waiting for some people to get out of a closet." I said to him.
