ROMEO

9

E.V.A.

Loud music blasts through the speakers as we enter the ballroom. Some people are dancing but most sit around tables with champagne and little snacks.

Hannah spots us and waves us over. Once we reach the table, we see an attractive girl sitting beside Hannah. She smiles at us when we come over.

"Hey girls, so happy you came! This is my best friend, Amber," Hannah introduces.

"Hey, I'm Eva. New girl."

"I know. Hannah told me so much about you," She says with a smile, amber eyes gleaming.

"I already know Amber, Hannah. I've been going to this school for years now," Alex says, chuckling.

Hannah shakes her head, face-palming. "Sorry."

"They're about to play truth or dare. You guys up for a game?" Hannah asks.

"Sure," Amber says, sniffling.

I nod and Alex shrugs. "Sure."

Amber sniffles again rubbing her nose, with her hand, earning a glare from Hannah. She quickly recovers with a smile and we walk towards the table, trailing behind.

"Ive never seen someone get mad over a cold," Alex laughs.

"She probably just wants the night to be perfect," I say, watching as Hannah whispers fiercely to Amber.

Amber sighs once we reach the table. For a moment I think it's Hannah's words but then I really see why.

Blair and Natalia sit across from us, smiling and laughing. Once they see us, Natalia's smile turns into a smirk.

"This just became a lot more interesting," She says.

Alex bangs her head on the table. "Why does this always happen to me? Why do these bitches always show up where I go? This is why I stay inside. I swear to-"

A girl cuts off her rambling. "Games starting! Gather round girls!"

"You know Hannah, hanging out with these nuns wont make you pure again," Natalia says, a sweet smile on her face.

Blair smirks, glaring at Hannah then Amber.

"You know Blair, hanging out with Natalia wont make Romeo love you," Hannah snaps back.

Alex coughs, trying to hold in her laugh. "Shit."

Blair just smiles, seemingly unbothered by the comment.

"You know Amber hanging out with Hannah wont stop you from sno-"

"LADIES! Games starting!" The girl exclaims. "Amber, you go first!"

Natalia claps her hands together, grinning. "I love playing truth or dare! I get to know all your secrets!"

"Yeah, and write them in your shitty blog," Alex says.

"Don't test me, Alexandria."

"Or what?" Alex asks, sitting up.

Amber doesn't give Natalia a chance to answer. "Hannah, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to flash the table."

"Easy," Hannah says, pulling her shirt up, exposing her breasts.

I close my eyes, laughing.

"Of course it is," Natalia says.

Hannah rolls her eyes. "Amber, truth or dare?"
