The Untold Story of Us

Chapter Five

Lou looked pointedly away from me.

"Lou. . . Don't you have something to say? To Clarity?" Peyton urged

"No-" Blaire punched his shoulder "I mean yes!! Yes I do!"

He took a deep breath "Clarity I'm sorry that I insulted you and your piercings. I shouldn't have because it was rude and indecent... just like piercings. " he said, rolling his eyes as he did so.

I frowned and starting humming the song 'Little White Lies'.

"Clarity. . . Do you accept this apology?" Blaire urged.

"I accept his apology as much as he accepts piercings. Which clearly means no." I replied, sitting down in front of the fire.

"So we're back to normal!! Okay! Lets play a different game. . ." Blaire trailed off, pulling her thinking face.

Everyone made a 'Hmm' noise.

"How about truth or dare?" Aaron Sanders, a burly black-haired teen said.

"Yeah, let's play that!" Lou agreed.

"Eh. . . I guess" Blaire said, sounding a bit iffy about it.

"Yay!! I'll start." Alice said. She paused before saying "Ashton! Truth or dare?"

Ashton, we was sitting right next to me said, "Erm... I'll be weak and say truth."

She groaned before saying "Do you find anyone here attractive?"

He bit his bottom lip, his eyebrows furrowing "Well yeah. . . I do actually."

She squealed "Oh who is it?"

"I can't tell you that." he replied, "But it is my turn now, I suppose." he thought for a second "Lou, truth or dare?"

Lou smirked "Dare." He said, snobbishly.

"I dare you to. . . Jump off the pier wearing all your clothes." Ashton said, sounding slightly bored.

Lou nodded "Deal." he stood and pulled his shirt over his head before starting towards the pier.

"Shoes too." Ashton said, concealing a smile.

"What?! But they are KDs! It will ruin them." Lou's voice heightened.

I laughed quietly, "A deal is a deal, Louis. You have to do it."

Lou glared at me and slowly pulled on his shoes.

He started towards the beach and most of the group followed. I stayed in my place, lounging on the sand.

Ashton stood up, "Want a coke?"

I nodded, "Sure, thanks."

He handed me one and sat down next to me again.

"This is what he gets for hurting a pretty girls feelings." He said, poking my cheek and popping open his can.

I smiled and cracked mine open too.

Behind us there was a loud uproar of "WHOOO!!" and we both looked back.

Lou came running towards us, pulling off his shoes as he did.

I smirked at his soaking form, "Are your shoes okay Lou? Or are the destroyed?" I asked, teasing him.

He frowned "I may have to get a new pair but these are still decent."

After the group joined again, the sun was completely gone and a waxing crescent moon shone bright in the sky.

"Blaire! Truth or dare?" Lou asked

"Truth!" Blaire said "I am paying it safe!"

Lou groaned "Thats boring!"

"Oh well!" she retorted

He sighed "I don't know what to ask!! Oh, uh, what food do you hate the most?"

Blaire blinked "Plums. Peyton truth or date?"

Peyton shrugged "Truth."

Blaire pouted before perking up "Is it true that you have a boyfriend?"

Peyton smiled widely "Yeees. It's very true." he paused "Clarity truth or dare?"

"Dare" I replied.

"I dare you to kiss Ashton."
