*LEXIE'S POV*

   Everyone was silent. I glanced at Nicole and I could tell that she was tense, and she wouldn't look at anyone. I looked at Austin, I had no idea what to say.

"Austin," Zander started, but he cut him off.

"I don't see why that's such a problem."

   I looked over at Asher, he was staring at Nicole and if she happened to have noticed, she was refusing to look at him.

"What happens if I don't want to do it?" I asked.

"Then you get to drink this," Austin said and grabbed a cup off of the TV stand.

"What is that?" Manny questioned and Austin grinned.

"It's orange juice, mayonnaise, soy sauce, pickle juice, ranch dressing, and steak sauce," He told everyone and I gagged a little.

"No," I said waving my hands around.

"Okay, kiss Asher then," He said simply and got Asher to stand up.

   I could see Nicole clenching her jaw and I groaned. I stood up and went over to where both the boys were standing.

"Give me the drink," I demanded.

   Austin's eyebrows shot up and he look a little angry.

"You would rather drink this than just kiss him?" He asked annoyed.

   I knew that everyone in this room, excluding themselves could see that Asher and Nicole had a thing going on. I could bet that Austin knew that better than anyone. Me kissing Asher would be cruel, and in Austin's eyes, it could really ruin our friendship forever.

"I would be completely and utterly betraying my best friend if I did that," I told him.

""I thought you guys weren't friends anymore," he said narrowing his eyes and I saw my mistake.

"Friends or not now, it would be like saying all of that time being friends didn't mean anything," I said and held my hand out for the drink.

   He glared at me for a second before handing over the drink. I looked at it and I could feel my stomach turning. I took a deep breath and plugged my nose. I tipped the cup back and quickly drank the whole thing. I unplugged my nose and started gagging.

"Ew!" I heard a few people chorused.

   I bent over and tried not to puke. I gagged a few more times and Alex handed me a glass of water. I washed the disgusting taste out of my mouth and shoved the cup that had the disgusting contents in it at Austin. I flashed him a smirk and retreated upstairs, ready to visit the toilet.

*NICOLE'S POV*

   After Lexie left no one wanted to play anymore. I waited a while before I went upstairs. I made sure that no one else was coming upstairs and went to Lexie's room. I went in and saw her lying down holding her stomach.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"You better love me and you better apologize to my stomach," she told me.

"Why do I have to apologize to your stomach?" I questioned and sat down on the edge of her bed.

"If you didn't like Asher I could have just kissed him and got it over with."

"You could have, I don't like him!" I argued.

   She stared at me and sat up. She narrowed her eyes at me and motioned me closer. I looked at her cautiously before leaning in. All of a sudden there's a stinging sensation on my cheek and I stared at her open mouthed. She slapped me!
