Time Again

spin the bottle

A solid hour later some people are starting to get drunk and there are people going crazy singing on the karaoke. Theo is hanging out with some of his other friends that are here, Ollie was drinking her fifth beer and was still sober as f*ck, Bee was dancing with a bottle of lime soda in her hand, and I just thought of the most stupidest thing to do. I will pretend to be a bit drunk (since I can't actually can't get drunk even though I'm on my third fat glass of a wine) and kiss people that are ok of kissing me. A complete stranger to them as they are to me. Luckily I didn't need to do anything. All of my friends really want me to met my soulmate since I'm 500 years old.

So what happened was that one of my other friends that came to the party, Hester, who goes over to the recycling bin and grabs an empty beer bottle.

"WHO WANTS TO PLAY A TWIST OF SPIN THE BOTTLE!!!", Hester yelled out and I swear that they have the loudest voice ever.

Almost everyone yelled out or whooped. Hester, or Hes, looks over at me and winked giving a signal that they hope for the best for me or that they rigged it since they're a witch. Oh which reminds me that there are people with super powers, that are mages, sorcerer, witches and wizards, and etc. of magic beings or just magic in general. I'm a combination of some sort. So yeah magic is real here for everyone to have.

There were probably about 70 or so people at the party and I was thinking to myself that this might be a great opportunity to see if my soulmate is here. If not, I'll wait for the next couple of years watching my friends grow up and all that shit I've seen before with my passed friends. Two thirds of the party joined in to play and Hester explained the rules.

"So we all know what happens in regular spin the bottle, spin point kiss, but in this version you have five choices. One kiss, two make out for 10 seconds maximum, third seven minutes in heaven, fourth truth, fifth dare."

The crowd nodded in agreement and Hester started off.

"KISS!", they yelled out and spined the bottle.

The bottle then landed on this one red haired girl. Hes and her kissed and so and so on for the next five rounds of one make out, three kisses, and one dare (which the person just had to kiss the person to their left) until it landed on me. The person said kiss. This person was a complete stranger who had these deep green eyes that were really cool. We pecked each other on the lips and it was done.

"Seven minutes in heaven.", I said and some of the crowd whooped.

I spin the bottle with all my strength and a couple seconds later the bottle landed on a really cute person with a maroon beanie on with their hair tucked in. I walked over to them and gave them my hand. They took it and I led them to the closet. We both walked in and closed the door.

"Um...hi. I'm Genv.", I told them.

"I'm Lane.", they said.

Awkward silence for a bit.

"What pronouns do you use so I can make you feel more comfortable.", I asked they nervously since I didn't have any clue who Lane is.

"I use the they/them or he/him pronouns. I'm a non binary male. You?", Lane asked in a nervous tone.

"I'm agender so I use the they/them pronouns."

"I see."

I looked at my phone. We had four more minutes left in the closet.

"Are you ok making out with me?", I asked they.

"Yeah.", Lane respond.

I looked down to my hand and played with them nervously. Lane put their hand on my hand and put the other hand on my check. They pulled me in to their face pressed their lips to mine to tease me at first then they kissed me and I kissed back. Not to not get into too much detail, after the four minutes Hester (who's 217 years old and who is studying to be a engineer) opened the door with my back against the wall in a passionate kiss with Lane.

After that the game of course kept going and I lost track of who and how many people I kissed. I got tired of the game after playing it for around 37 or so minuets so I grabbed a bottle of half iced tea lemonade and went to the balcony.

When I went to the balcony I saw a girl with light blue hair cut in a bob who wore long black and white pock a dot socks that went up to her knees. She seemed to be a bit underweight. She stared down over the railing like she was trying to see if it would kill her if she jumped off. I just know the look too well by this point.

"You know you can't die if you haven't kissed your soulmate yet.", I told her.

She turned around when she heard me. She looked at me with shocked eyes and a tear ran down her face.

"How do you know?", she asked me with a soft voice.

I took a sip of my drink and answered.

"I've tried to kill myself 17 times.", I told her.

Hey guys! I know that these three chapters are kind of short but I promise that I'll try to make them longer and to update as soon as possible or once a week (which is unlikely and I know no one reads these but whatever I'm writing an author's note anyways). I'm writing other story that I'm hoping to publish on my profile in a month. I hope you guys are enjoyed this chapter and I also hope that you guys like to story so far. Until next time (hopefully next week), see ya!
