The Romeo Problem

Party Time!

It was Friday. The day had flown by quite fast. Romeo had been at school that day.

Right now her house was full of people. Neighbors, friends, and relatives were all hanging out at Julie's house. Julie was surprised by the number of people that there were. She hadn't expected this big of a turn out. Unfortunately she couldn't find her friends. So she was just standing around the snack table, looking around.

Skype: Group Chat

Friday 5:57

Where are you?

I'm close. I see you. :)

Well, then come over.

Not until you say the magic phrase.

What? Like please?

Nope! You know what I want to hear.

Ugh no!

Please!

Fine!

Julie sighed. "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" As soon as she saw him she was planning on telling him what wherefore actually meant.

A familiar face popped up from behind the snack table, grinning mischievously. Julie jumped. Romeo burst out laughing.

"You should have see your face!" He chuckled.

"Oh shut up." Julie muttered. "Where's your uncle?" She asked.

"Over there, talking to your mom." Romeo pointed across the room to where his uncle was indeed talking to Ms. Hunter. Julie's mom was laughing at something that Nick had said. Julie scrunched up her nose in disgust.

"Ew it looks like they're flirting." Julie said grossed out. Romeo nodded, feeling the same way. "So have you seen anybody else? Like Ivy?"

Romeo shook his head. "Nope I only found you. They're probably upstairs because I've checked everywhere downstairs."

"Well then let's go upstairs." Julie said as she grabbed Romeo by the hand and led him upstairs.

Nobody was in Will's room or Hermione's room or the upstairs bathroom. However when Julie flung open the door to her room she found where most of the teens were hanging out.

Ivy beamed at her best friend, mischievously. She was sitting on the ground with the other teens: Will, Anthony, Eric, Emily, Hermione (who wasn't quite a teen, but was still hanging out with the older kids), Teagan, Alicia, and Mark. The we're all sitting on Julie's floor in a circle.

"I'm glad you two could join us." Ivy said still smirking.

"What are you doing?" Julie questioned.

"We're playing truth or dare!" Emily chimed in, cheerily.

"What is this? Sixth grade?" Julie folded her arms and rolled her eyes.

Ivy shrugged. "If you have a problem with it we could always play spin the bottle."

Julie blushed. "Nope, truth or dare is fine!" She spluttered.

"Well are you two going to join us?" Anthony asked. Romeo and Julie looked at each other and shrugged. They sat down on the carpet between Ivy and Anthony.

"Okay, I believe it was Teagan's turn." Ivy said, trying to get back to where they had been.

"Anthony, truth or dare." Ivy's younger sister asked.

Anthony thought for a moment. "Truth,"

"Have you screwed Ivy yet?" Teagan asked, mischievously.

Anthony turned bright red, not saying a word, while Ivy screeched at her sister. Ivy grabbed a pillow off Julie's bed and threw it at Teagan, who was laughing as hard as she could. The rest of the teens couldn't help snickering.

Once they calmed down Anthony answered the question, honestly. His face was still bright red.

"No I haven't. Eric, truth or dare."

Eric choose dare which involved him having to post a video of himself singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" on his Friend Book account. Eric then preceded to ask Mark, who choose Truth.

Eric asked "Who's the most attractive person here?"

Mark replied with "Anyone except you." Everyone burst out laughing at that.

The game went on for a while until eventually Anthony asked Julie, who picked truth, if she had a crush on someone. Anthony wanted to know if his theory was right.

Romeo looked nervous when Anthony asked. He glanced over at Julie who looked embarrassed. She quickly glanced up at him before looking at the ground.

"Yes..." She mumbled.

"Oh..." Romeo whispered disappointed. Anthony shook his head at his best friend.

"Do you want to tell us who?" Anthony said smirking.

Julie shook her head. "You already asked at question. It's my turn." Julie looked around the circle.

Should she embarrass her siblings with an interesting dare or try to get some fascinating information out of her friends? Who would she pick?

"Ivy, truth or dare?" Julie asked.

Ivy smirked. "Dare."

Julie whispered the dare into Ivy's ear. The redhead's eyes narrowed. She hesitated before crawling across the circle to her boyfriend. He looked at her, confused. She licked his cheek.

"Ew, Ivy!" Anthony wiped the salvia off his cheek. Ivy gave him a kiss to make up for it.

"Get a room, you two!" Emily exclaimed. Ivy shrugged and dragged Anthony up.

"Okay, we will!" Ivy pretended to walk to the door. Everyone started laughing. Anthony's face was red again.

"Ivy, not here! Dad's here!" Teagan laughed.

"I wasn't serious!" Ivy laughed as she sat back down. Anthony just shook his head at his girlfriend's antics, smiling. "Cameron, truth or dare."

Romeo smiled. "Well, I don't want to lick Anthony's face." He joked. His friends laughed. Anthony looked disgusted at the thought. "So truth."

Ivy smirked a smirk most befitting of an evil mastermind. Clearly she had something up her sleeve.

"What's your honest opinion about Julie? Don't leave anything out."

Romeo glared at the redheaded mischief maker, not daring to say a word. He wasn't sure what to say. The entire group was watching him, waiting to hear his opinion. Julie was blushing.

"Guys, do we have to go there?" Julie sounded incredibly embarrassed.

"Shush, yes we do." Ivy said.

"I like her, okay? I like her a lot. Okay, I'm crazy about her. It's not like this information is anything new."  Romeo announced. His face had a slight red tint. Julie blushed harder.

"Well, that made everything so much more awkward!" Ivy said cheerfully as Romeo and Julie avoided looking at each other.
