Star Struck

Damsel In Distress

Austin POV:

I watched as Alex had the wheels turning, thinking of a truth or dare that would get Justin and Jessica to finally figure out that they like each other.

"Truth or dare, Justin?" Alex asked, a smirk immediately plastering on his face. I saw Justin's face turn red, and I saw his eyes go wide. Justin really didn't want to go ahead and answer that question. And that means, I could use this to my amusement.

"Truth," Justin said in a shaky voice. I couldn't stop myself from smiling a bit, but I could stop myself before I started to laugh at his terrified face. It was almost if he knew that we were targeting him and Jessica.

"How do you really feel about Jessica? And don't even try to lie, Victoria can tell when someone is lying," Alex said, and I looked at Victoria warily, and noticed that I wasn't the only one who was doing that.

"What? Alex learned that the hard way," Victoria said, shrugging off all of our confused stares.

We all got used to it after a few seconds, and turned our stares to Justin, who was as red as a tomato. "So... Justin what's your answer?" Madeline asked, giving him a knowing look. He wasn't wearing any socks, and at that moment, I had to feel sorry for him. I knew how self conscious Justin is... so I have a feeling he'd rather answer the question than take his shirt off.

"Um... do I have to answer?" Justin asked, looking at Alex, scared. I would too if I were in his position, but I wasn't! So I guess he's got nothing on me.

"No, you don't," Justin sighed in relief and I widened my eyes, "if you take a piece of clothing off." I smiled at Justin when Alex finished, and he just glared at me.

"Fine. I feel that Jessica is pretty, okay?" Jessica flushed, and I saw that everyone felt a little disappointed... well, the ones who planned this whole thing out.

I guess we'll just have to hammer it out of them... the hard way.

Justin spun the bottle, and it landed on Madeline. Okay... this was going to be interesting. She wore her socks, and I have to admit it was a little saddening, but it was short lived. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare," Madeline said, smirking at Justin, as if he knew his every move, calculating everything that he would do... I will say that the look she just gave him was the look that makes me want to go and dig myself a hole to cower in. She just has that effect on me, I guess.

"I dare you to go drink toilet water," Justin said, and everyone started to laugh, even Madeline. I knew she could easily bail out of it, and she smirked at him before she took a sock off and threw it in the middle of the circle, near the bottle.

"Oh well, now it's my turn," Madeline said, she spun the bottle, and it landed on me. Great. Even if I was her boyfriend, I could tell she wasn't going to take it easy on me... what can I say? That's just who Madeline is.

"Great," I mumbled. Everyone but Madeline and me started to laugh. Yeah, apparently she was busy thinking of a diabolical plan to get me ticked off. I know Madeline, and that seems to be exactly what she would do.

"Truth or dare, Austin?" Madeline asked, using her sweet and innocent voice. We all knew that when she used that voice, she was defiantly not innocent.

"Dare, Miss Harding," I said, playing along. She smirked at me, and closed her eyes.

"Kiss me, Mr. Klein."

She opened her eyes, looking at me with those innocent (but not really) eyes. Alex started to laugh, and I heard a wack! And then a "Owe!" I don't know what I'd do without Victoria these moments.
