Antagonist

The game had been set up and we sat round it in a sort of circle while I chugged down on my first drink. I decided I would need at least one drink inside me to have chance of participating in the game. By this time it was almost completely dark so a single oil lamp stood in the centre providing us with a measly but sufficient amount of light. I looked around and saw Niall, Harry, Imogen, Siobhan, Max, Luke, his boyfriend James and two other girls I didn't recognise all eager to start.

Imogen wiggled out the first block signalling the start of the game.

"oh this ones easy!" she said loudly "give a, hickey to a, player of your choice" her reading was poor and I wasn't sure whether it was the alcohol taking it's toll or not.

"Not Harry, Immy! That's cheating" exclaimed Siobhan waggling her finger across the circle.

"That's another of the rule I forgot to mention Sonia" said Niall, turning and facing me "Imogen isn't allowed do anything to Harry and Luke isn't allowed to do James, because their dating so it's considered 'too easy'" he explain. I replied with a quick eye role and grin before turning back to Imogen who, by now, was sucking on James' neck. It was disgusting. How can anyone find neck sucking attractive.

Imogen drew back admiring the hickey like a piece of art work. "Siobhan's turn!" She yelled sinking back into Harry's chest.

Without hesitation Siobhan drew a block from the sturdy tower. She propped her glasses on her forehead and squinted at the writing, bringing it close to her face.

"Remove an article of clothing" she spoke monotonously "that's hardly fair, I'm not wear much to begin with" she said more enthusiastically.

"Forfeit?" Said one of the girls I didn't recognise.

"Of course not, when do I ever forfeit? Actually I'll have a shot as well if you're offering"

She whipped of her bandeau and I quickly gasped in anticipation. Fortunately she had a nude sticky bra on underneath and all the straight guys were utterly disappointed.

By the time my turn came the group was a half undressed, drunk shambles. It was just Niall, Harry and I who were yet to have a go. The girl next to me, who I learnt was called Amber had just finished giving a lap dance to James.

"Sonia, you're up next!" declared Luke in a drunken slur as he collapsed into James' lap. I felt like I was about to go through an initiation ceremony into a new tribe. Like nemo when he had to swim through the volcano of bubbles. And oh was I shit scared about it.
