Tears Behind Our Eyes: A Prequel

Chapter Five

Chapter Five

"We should do our own initiations for Seattle," I suggested. Mia Kaye, my new official girlfriend that I loved to brag about, rose her eyebrows, confused.

She said, "We all have been living here for at least a year now, what's the point?"

Hunter butted in, laughing, "To have fun?"

Gayle smiled at me, making Mia Kaye glare at her. She's so cute when she's jealous. "I think it's a brilliant idea, Jackson." Gayle made it so clear that she liked me but I made it so much clearer that I liked/like/love Mia Kaye, always flirting with McKaye when appropriate.

"Great. So there's four of us. We should do five tasks each. One person to come with one on their own, and two as a group, making five tasks." Mia Kaye looked uneasy so I added, "If you're uncomfortable with one, you can modify it to make it something you're comfortable with but you're only allowed to use that one time." She smiled, eyes looking at me, silently thanking me.

Mia Kaye shared her thoughts on who should go first. Gayle, Hunter, Mia Kaye, me. I called last because I wanted to give them ideas on what to give me. Hunter asked, "Are we allowed to leave the house?"

Gayle, short for Abbygayle, shrugged, "I don't see why not. My parents don't care. As long as I'm back in time for curfew at eleven."

Gayle's tasks:

Mia Kaye's was to dance with no music for one minute. Gayle did that with no problem. Hunter's was to do four cartwheels in a row, and since Gayle prided herself on gymnastics, that was cake. Mine was to make up a thirty second opera about someone in the group and let us video tape it. She basically made fun of Mia Kaye the whole time, which pissed me off more than McKaye but she did it. The group dares were to do as many push ups as she could and then wait four seconds then do one more. She modified that one-- instead of regular push up, she did knee push ups. (Some call them girly push ups but I feel like that is complete bullshit.) Her last task was to switch outfits with the opposite sex until Hunter's first two tasks were over. She opted for me but I suggested that one of Hunter's tasks be that he has wear girl clothes his first two tasks. That made McKaye happy, kissing me when she got the chance of us being alone when they left to change.

Hunter's tasks:

I used my task for him already so Gayle dared him to let her break two eggs on his head, which he then rolled his eyes. He modified it for one egg instead of two and he had to do it. Mia Kaye dared him, since she knew he was disgusting and smelly after that, to get sprayed by the hose outside. She's so sweet. The group dares for him were around eight at night so it was still light out but not for long. It got pretty chilly and McKaye wearing a short sleeve shirt and forgetting a jacket, I gave her mine. It was selfish because I knew it would make her happy and I wanted her to make it smell like her--sunflowers and waterfalls. The group dares for him were to go into a drugstore and ask a clerk for the porn section (Gayle's idea). Hunter couldn't object because he'd already used his one modification. Mia Kaye and I felt bad but we didn't stop him-- I wanted to see if he would really do it. His other group task was to go into the mall and get five strangers to kiss his cheek, courtesy of Mia Kaye and I.

Mia Kaye's tasks:

Gayle's dare was to get five "hot" guys to take pictures with her. Real original, I know. Hunter dared Mia Kaye to take off her panties and wear them on her head. Her face got red fast, looked at me. I couldn't help but laugh a little. She sighed and glared at Hunter, pissed. Pulling her pants away from her waist, meanwhile still in the mall, presumably looking at what her underwear was. She laughed, looked at me and chose to modify it so she doesn't have to wear them on her head but put them in someone's pocket instead and nobody else is allowed to see. Of course, she gave them to me since it'd be weird to give them to Hunt and Mia Kaye wasn't Gayle's best friend that shared underwear (do girls do that?). She made me close my eyes while she put them in my back pocket. I went to the bathroom to pee and looked at them. The front was plain black with a black bow in the middle of the top, the black was sheer and black lace. They were freaking badass and hot. I walked out of the mall bathroom and smirked at Mia Kaye. She covered her face, knowingly and laughed, "I'm sorry! I would've worn the cupcakes had I known. I'm not a slut!" She was joking, of course but I smiled and hugged her, making Gayle huff. I got mad at Gayle for acting that way so I made my dare for her to be kiss someone in the group that started with the letter "J" on the whole way up an escalator. She had no problem doing that. The group dares were still at the mall, but we just sat on a bench and chairs in a circle. Mia Kaye had to call the seventh person in her phone and sing them the "Manamana" song for thirty seconds on speaker.
