Chapter fifteen Truth or Dare

"What kind of game?" I crossed my arms in front of myself and squinted at him. Everybody else stopped what they were doing, waiting for Leo to answer.

"Well, how about truth or dare?" He moved to the center of the room before he continued speaking. "To be honest, I haven't played before so would it be okay?" Everybody groaned a bit and looked at me.

"Well," I started. "Sure, let's play." There was a burst of sound as everybody began talking at once. "Alright! Guys, if you want to play, you need to quiet down." I turned to Rogue, "Rules?"

He shrugged, "Anything goes."

A shirt time later, everybody was sitting in a circle on the floor. We had moved the furniture out of the way, just in case. "Okay, let's see..." Leo started, "Ever, truth or dare?"

She groaned and laughed a little, "Umm... Dare."

Leo let out a quick laugh and looked from Ever to Mike. "I've got a good one. I dare you to kiss Rogue."

"WHAT?!" Rogue, Ever, and Mike all shouted at the same time.

"Sarah, tell him he can't do that!" Ever looked at me pleading silently. I looked from rogue to Leo quickly before answering.

"Well, Rogue did say anything could go." I forced a small smile and glanced at Rogue a second time. It was barely noticeable but his body was tense. We all sat in an awkward silence before Rogue made the first move. He grabbed Ever and quickly pulled her in for a kiss. I felt my stomach tighten at the sixth and had to tear my eyes away. I saw Mike looking quite the same as I felt. Leo just smiled at me and winked. I glared at him before Looking back to Rogue and Ever. They were standing and looking at each other.

"So yeah, that happened." Ever laughed a little before moving back to  her spot in the circle. Rogue stood for a few seconds longer before sitting. "Okay, since I got called, it's my turn." Ever looked around the curls and her gaze fell on me. "Sarah, truth or dare?"

I stopped to think about it, weighing my options. "I guess I'll choose dare."

She sighed before replying, "Okay, I dare you to do a front flip, or at least attempt to do one."

I groaned and stood up. "You know you're going to regret this, right?" She shrugged her shoulders and just smiled. "I'm probably going to regret it too." I laughed a little and attempted to do what I thought would be a decent front flip, but instead I landed on my back and everybody cringed. The air rushed out of my lungs and I had to take a few seconds to breathe. "Yeah," I said breathlessly. "I'll feel that in the morning." I sat up and pulled myself back to my spot in the circle. "Mike, truth or dare?"

Mike sighed. "Well, nobody has chosen truth yet, so I guess I'll pick that."

I shrugged. "Okay. Well, what's your biggest secret?"

He groaned and looked at Ever. "Do I have to say it?" She nodded her head, looking at him intently. "Okay, fine. I wet the bed until my freshman year." The room burst into laughter and his face turned red. "Screw it, now it's my turn." He looked directly at Rogue and smiled. "Rogue, truth or dare?" The immediate response from Rogue was dare. Mikes smile turned to an evil grin. "I dare you to tell Sarah how you really feel about her. And you've told me so I'll know if you're lying.

There was a small amount of laughter at first but wen Rogue didn't say anything everybody grew quiet. He stood up, very quietly, in the center of the circle and turned to look at me. "Crimson— er.. I mean Sarah, I really like you and you feel like we would make a really good couple." He stopped and looked around. "Yeah, that's about it." He sat back down next to me. There was a slight tension in the room before Rogue spoke up again, and the game continued. We all played for hours. I wish it never ended.

Leo had the last turn. He smiled at me from his spot. "Sarah, truth or dare?"
