Full Of Love

Study Sesh 2

We went around the circle for a while, mostly everyone answering correctly. Half of us had shirts on, and the others didn't. No one had to take off their pants yet.

Here's an idea of what it was like:

Shirtless:
Frank, Ryan, Joe, Pete

Non-shirtless:
Gerard, Brendon, Andy, me

As it got to me again, I reached for the card and read it. "What are the main differences between covalent and ionic bonding?" Shit. I didn't know it. I couldn't take my shirt off, I just couldn't! No no no!! Oh god, this was terrible. "Um... I-I don't know."

"Ooh, innocent little Patty doesn't know the answer and has to take his shirt off. Everyone shield their eyes! We wouldn't want him to be embarrassed." Brendon teased me, smiling evilly at me and then glancing at Pete. Did Brendon know something I didn't? Was there an inside joke between Pete and Brendon that involved me?

"Oh shush I'm 17 Brendon." I rolled my eyes and slipped my shirt off, trying to seem like it was no big deal. Which it wasn't, right? Half of the people were shirtless anyway.

Everyone's eyes fell on my chest, scanning my body. No one had ever seen me without I shirt on, I always changed for gym in a stall and I was careful to not be at the pool with them. If I was, I wore a shirt anyway.

"Dude! You're kinda ripped!" Andy told me, shocked. He was lying. I mean, he had to be, I was chubby as frick! But then again, it was Andy! Andy was the only one who worked out in our group, he had to be telling the truth.

"Ha ha, whatever. Let's get on with the game please." I tried to change the subject without seeming weird. Brendon just shook his head and sighed,

"No. Patrick, I can tell you're insecure, but we're not lying I promise. Look, I do not at all mean any disrespect, nor am I trying to be degrading, nor am I trying to hit on you, like, you're attractive but I'm taken(he then winked at Ryan). Ok, anyway, you're are very attractive as it is, but when you take your shirt off, you're are very hot. Like, seriously." Everyone nodded, but I just shook my head.

"Brendon, I know the first few things you said were sincere, but everything you said after establishing you weren't trying to hit on me, is false. I promise you that. No, seriously, let's move on. We have exams in three days." I was getting annoyed now, I know they were trying to be nice, but I hated my body and they couldn't change that. Brendon put his hands up in surrender and picked up a card(he was sitting beside me). 

"What happens at the particle level to increase the pressure?" He read, closing his eyes and throwing his head back. 

sorry if that sounded weird, he was trying to, like, focus, but it kind of came across like he was a demon; i'm not good at describing that kind of stuff tbh

"Uh... when particles move more quickly, they collide more with each other and the walls of whatever they're in, so the pressure is increased." Everyone, including me, looked at him in surprise. "Whaatt? I study." 

._.

It kept on for such a long time with no one getting anything wrong, Gerard suggested we take a break and play truth or dare. Reluctantly, we agreed. I say reluctantly because everyone knows Gerard likes to play dirty.

"Ok, since I suggested it, I go first. You know the rules, pick either t or d, and if you don't want to answer, you remove one piece of clothing. Ryan, truth or dare?" He asked, eyeing Ryan evilly. This couldn't be good.

"T-truth?" He was nervous, poor kid. 

"How many times have you thought of/wanted to have(ing) sex with Brendon?" Oh god. Everyone knows that Brendon and Ryan do not talk about their sex lives. Ryan hates doing that. We know they haven't done it yet though, Brendon always talks about that when Ryan isn't around.
