QUICK RECAP

"Beau, I dare you to..." Bella thought for a minute. "I dare you to kiss Mari."

Beau quickly pulled away. Without the kiss. Everyone looked over to the closet where the noise came from.

~~

"Pizza's here!" Daniel exclaimed. He ran to the door and swung it open. The other boys cheered and gathered around the door. I was sitting with the girls on the other side of the room. I could already smell that delicious cheesy scent that drifted towards us from the door. The boys brought the boxes to the table and everyone stood up to grab a slice. It's been a bit awkward between Beau and I since the game of truth or dare. We've avoided eye contact. I don't know why it was so awkward, it's not like we haven't been face to face about to kiss before. Plus, it was just for a game. It's not like the time at my house when it just kind of happened. That should have been more awkward than this time. But it wasn't. I just wanted to take the awkward away.

"Can I just eat this whole box?" Jai asked. 

"No way." Jenny said. She grabbed a couple of slices and put them on a paper plate. 

I took a slice and put it on a plate. I saw Beau sitting with James and Kat, so I decided to join them. I didn't want to avoid Beau. I sat down with them. "Hey guys!"

"Hey!" Kat said. James just smiled because his pizza was still hanging out of his mouth from taking a bite. Beau looked a bit shocked but he sounded casual when he said, "Hey Mari."

"Whoever came up with the idea to get pizza is a genius." I said, taking a bite. They nodded.

"Then I guess I'm a genius!" Beau grinned. I guess it was his idea.

"You're far from it." James joked. Kat laughed and I smiled. Beau, on the other hand, just grunted and continued to eat his pizza.

"Yeah! Fifa!" Jai yelled from the other side of the room. I'm assuming Luke asked if they should play because he was already standing up and ready to go. They must have demolished their pizza slices. The pizza had only been here for a few minutes. Jai and Daniel stood up beside Luke.

"I'm in!" Beau yelled. James also stood up to go play. It seemed like all the boys were going to play. Typical.

"Any of you girls want to play?" Daniel asked.

"Count me out." Jordane answered.

"Same, no thanks!" Bella said. Kat, Jenny and I just shook our heads no. Fifa was their thing, and the boys always got upset and worked up over it. I'd rather sit out than get caught up in that mess. The boys left to go play. I guess they knew Jor's house well enough to find the game system. Once the boys were gone, the girls all sat together. I was still finishing my pizza.

"So Kat, twenty minutes in the closet with James? That's a long time." Jenny laughed.

"Yeah, what did you do?" I joined in on the conversation. I realized that I don't talk enough.

"You know, closet stuff." Kat smiled.

"Kat!" Jor said.

"Okay. We made out for a while and then just talked. The usual." Kat laughed.

"Cute." Bella said.

It was silent for a bit while I finished my pizza. "So what should we do?" I asked.

"Let's watch a movie or something." Jordane suggested.

"Yeah!" Jenny said, "What one?"

"No strings attatched?" Kat asked.
