The squad was sitting in a circle on the floor, chattering excitedly. Milla had joined the party and no one was too angry about it; she'd brought three bottles of vodka. Heab was thankful for the additional liquor, as it meant she had almost a whole bottle to herself and her alcohol tolerance was stupidly high, which meant she might actually get a lil wasted and not pay way too much for it.
Noppy peered around the room. She was bored, so she started by asking an easy question. "Heab: tell me abt your family and what they think of you becoming an art major."
Heab took another gulp straight from the bottle (that was to share, you ass) and began talking. "My parents don't care. My siblings hate it though, and they're going to open a veggie farm. Don't trust anything they grow, though, it's probably fertilized with the bullshit they're talking about my career choice. Asshats." Heab makes a spitting gesture to the side and shakes her head dejectedly. After a minute she's fine and asks Milla to sing All Star while dabbing.
Annie's turn! As Milla turns with a sly gleam in her eye, the dare she proposes makes Annie stop in her tracks.
"Say anything you want to anyone (even if they're not in this room) for 20 seconds. Go."
"I hate that I love you. I hate that you probably won't love me back. And I hate that I'll probably never know how you feel because I'll never have the nerve to ask. I hate that if I say something I'll fuck up our friendship. And I can't have that." By the end Noppy just looked sad. So she leaned forward and kissed Annie. To shut her up, or to say she was there for her, or ... because she wanted to.
