The Truth Is Daring

We walked out and everybody was trying to vote on what we should do. "Hey, Millie! What do you want more, karaoke or board games?" Gaten asks me. I thought about it for a second before answering. "Karaoke." Izzat immediately groans.

"What?" everyone else asked.

"I can't sing okay?" he admits. "You guys are good singers and I'm not."

"How about this? We all sing together so you don't sound that bad." I offer. He smiles and nods his head.

We started looking through all the songs through Spotify. We were all arguing what song we should sing until Noah suggested we pick a random song. Gaten puts it on shuffle and the song was revealed. "Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran"

"I love this song!" I squeal loudly. Gaten starts the song and it blares out of his speaker.

We all started singing together and gradually, Izzat started singing as well. Our voices were amazing together in 6-part harmony, getting every single note write. After we were finished, we stared at each other for a moment and then started laughing for no reason. I jumped up and gave Finn a light peck on his lips. I put my hands around his neck and swayed a little. Emmy was giving us a disgusted look but I didn't care. I just stared at his face, his dazzling eyes, his imperfect teeth. How did I get so lucky? I suddenly got self-aware and scanned around to see everyone staring at us.  I let go and looked at the ground embarrassed.

"Well," Izzat started off, "that was weird. What shall we do next?"

We were playing, dancing, joking and doing all kind of stuff for hours. When it was 10:00, Noah had an idea what we should do next.

"Let's share one secret of ours to get to know each other." Noah suggests. Everyone else had there mouth a gaped with the expression like "WHAT!?". Izzat was looking at him like he was thinking about something.

"He's right. I'm in." Izzat agrees. Everybody was now looking at him and Noah like they were both crazy.

"Secrets poisons relationships," Izzat explains, "and this will help trust each other in a way. It may relieve you from being held down by secrets. I am 100% in."

One by one, everyone agreed to his logic. I started getting nervous, trying to find a good secret of mine. I picked one that was funny and embarrassing at the same time.

"Okay, good. Who wants to start?" Noah asked but nobody offered. I get an idea and went up to get a glass bottle. "Here," I hand Noah the bottle, "spin the bottle to choose."

Noah holds it up like a sacrifice sword ceromony. "Let the mighty bottle to choose thy fate and embarrassment." he announces like a prayer. We all laugh at the silly announcement. He mutters something like a prayer before spinning the bottle. The bottle was spinning in a blur while we were waiting with anticipation. The bottle was slowing down and it landed on... Caleb.

"Shit!" he shouts. He sighs. "Fine, let's get this over with. I-uh, when I was at school last year, I was late and I ran into the classroom in a rush. I ran to my desk so fast that I tripped over a desk and knocked three desks with me and three other people. I made such a loud noise that teachers from the other classrooms came to my class to see what was going on." he puts his face in his hands while we were laughing like crazy.

"Okay, okay. Everybody calm down." Noah spins the bottle again and it lands on Gaten. He throws his hands up in the air. "This is total bullshit!" Gaten quotes a line from the show.

"Fine. I hate strawberry pudding. That's it." Everyone faked a gasp like it was really surprising. "Gaten," Finn says, "how could you?" Everybody was laughing again. Gaten was whispering something to Emmy again. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about them.

And then we went, one by one telling out secrets. Finn has a secret birthmark but he didn't show it. Izzat has never tasted Reese's Pieces. Noah actually got stuck in a chair again but he was alone that time. When it was my turn, I said it slowly. "I sing in the shower." I bite my lips, waiting in anticipation for the laughing.

"That's not a secret." Izzat says.

What?

"I learned that a couple days ago, when we arrived. I can hear you sing from my room." Izzat explains while everybody else was laughing their asses off.

Emmy was the last one. "I hate Stranger Things." We could not be more surprised. "Why?" Noah asks cautiously.

"Because, honestly, it's stupid. I mean, a girl with superpowers? The show doesn't even explain it. And a secret hidden world with a opened-mouth monster? I just don't get it."

"But you are the main star of the show!" I say to her, shock still in my eyes.

"I kinda hate Eleven too. Not me, but the character itself. And who eats that much Eggo waffles?"

We just stay there, looking at her with shock. How could she hate Stranger Things? Something she stars in? "Hey, it's my opinion." she defends herself. She's right. Her opinion. We let it go.

"What should we do now?" Izzat asks bored.

Emmy suddenly perks up like she remembered something interesting."Let's play," she says with a devilish grin, "Truth Or Dare."

Oh shit. I never played Truth Or Dare but I know it always ends bad. Everyone was already agreeing so I had to cave in. Noah got the bottle again and we started playing.

Izzat had to do a handstand while singing Let It Go. Gaten had to eat a teaspoon of mayonnaise. Caleb had to tell us his middle school crush's name. Gaten got picked again and had to re-enact a scene with Finn. Finn had to tell who he really loved. He was confused why, why out of all people, Gaten who asked that. He said my name confidently and my heart raised a little by that comment. Gaten looks disappointed and Emmy just glared at him.

I should be really worried, but they told me their secrets so I trust them. After awhile, everybody started to get hungry. "I can go get pizza if you guys want. I think there is pizza parlor next to the hotel. I can get some take-out." Finn offers. Everyone nods.

"I can go with you." Noah offers.

They head out of the hotel. Emmy smiles devilishly once more before continuing playing. She spins the bottle and it lands on me.

"Truth Or Dare?" she asks me.

"Dare." I say confidently.

"I dare you to....," she looks at Izzat, "to kiss Izzat."
