What Happens In Keena-Kiya

Part 4

"Shh!"

It was only midnight thirty(12:30 P.M.) and all of our cabin, even Kendra, were sneaking away to the the Lake-lodge, a large meeting house that overlooked the lake that seemed a mile long on the other side of camp.

Amanda led the group on the trail around the lake. She seemed to be the leader of the other girls that lived in the cabin. They followed her, adored her and were like her. Clearly, it wasn't my crowd.

A branch broke under Kendra's foot. She was walking just behind me. Everyone "Shh"-ed her.

"Sor-ry!" She called in a whisper.

We walked on, the leaves moving and crunching underneath our feet as we walked on the path that surrounded the very edge of the lake. Most of us were wearing flip-flops, so I was surprised no one hadn't lost a shoe yet and had to make so much noise to go back and get it. Maybe these girls were smarter than I thought.

We walked into a clearing and up the steps to the front door of the Lake-lodge. I watched Amanda pull a bobby-pin from her hair, releasing her bangs from their pinned position on her head and wiggling it into the lock to open it. Amanda turned the nob and the door moved open, as if someone was opening it for her.

Amanda filled us into the place and closed the door once she got herself inside. I was surprised there was no alarm there, signaling that we had been there for just fun. I walked up to Layla, who was looking out on the lake, and the camp a long way from it, filled with sleeping campers, supervisers and staff. I pointed out the moving group that was on the trail up to the lodge. I formed a smile to realize it was boys. A large group of boys were coming to play a little game with us.

~~~~~

Thirty-two people sat in a complete circle, making this one of the best Truth or Dare games to come. Jane had fallen completely silent because of the boy she was stuck next to. You guessed it!

Drew Carl.

"Truth or Dare?" Amanda started off. She was questioning a boy named Colton, handsome and a guy who was willing to do anything for the thrill of it.

Colton gave a smirk. "Dare." He couldn't back down.

"I dare you to tear off a part of your shorts and eat it. Chew and swallow if you please!"

Everyone laughed at even the thought of someone eating their own pants. Colton straitened up and smiled. "Which part of my shorts, ladies?" he said with a grin.

Amanda rolled her eyes but he cut off part of hus pant leg with a pocketknife and stuffed it down his mouth, swallowing hard and opening his mouth to show he had eaten it. Everyone continued to laugh at him, but some were completely grossed out.

He had eaten his own pants.

No one eat their own underwear!

"You're Layla, right?"

A boy named Gale was gazing at her, the shy girl and my friend Layla. Layla looked up at him in surprise. Maybe she was hoping no one would notice her.

"Yeah," Layla replied quietly.

Gale smiled. "Truth or Dare?"

Kendra, Jane and I gawked at her. Layla gave us gentle looks. She was shy around people who weren't her friends, which was everyone but us. She didn't know what to say, and we all knew it.

Pick dare.

Pick dare.

Pick dare!
