The badass princess 👑

Chapter 7

His face captures the moment, his eyes twinkling as per usual, his strong jawline isn't tense but relaxed. The way I'm used to seeing him. When I'm around Tyler it's almost like I feel a safe and calm aroma, or like I'm in a yoga class in heaven.

I snap my fingers.
"Hey Ty. I'm up here." I wave at him.
He sheepishly smiles and rubs the back of his neck. He opens the door further and it slowly reveals paradise. The elephantine hallway is as white as you can imagine and it's accompanied by a giant crystal chandelier. There aren't any doors- except for the bathroom- so you can see almost everything from where I'm standing, to the massive marble kitchen to the more modern living room.

Tyler runs into the kitchen like a waiter and brings us small shot glasses with maroon clear liquid in it. I gently push his hand away, shaking my head.

"No sorry I don't drink." I say, politely declining the offer.

Tyler nods kindly, but takes a big swig for himself. Chugging the entire glass. He grabs my hand and drags me- then I drag Lola- up the stairs where a group a students
, who I recognise but haven't officially met, peer at us as we walk over.

"Do you want to play truth or dare with a twist?"
"Sure." I shrug and sit down next to Lola and Tyler in the circle.

A girl with short black hair explains the rules to us bluntly.
"So, in a circle we go one by one and answer a question of truth or dare, if you can't answer or do the dare we spin this bottle and it decides who you spend your seven minutes in heaven." Her hand gesturing to the beer bottle in the middle of our circle.

Tyler goes first.
"Tyler. Truth or dare."
He scratches his head and thinks for a long time- well 10 seconds but that seems like ages.
"Um.. Dare." He says courageously.

"I dare you to tell us how many people have you hooked up with." Lola demands. But I'm pretty sure she already knows. He deeply death stares at her.

"I don't know, like 50."

I blink. Fifty. That's like three classes! I've only really had one boyfriend and 0 hookups. Well 0 boyfriends because he spelt my name wrong in class when we were eight. And by wrong.. He spelt my name with a J. So I guess it doesn't count.

A look at him, slightly disappointed, and honestly I don't know why. What are these mixed emotions? I don't know. I've only known him for 12 days. I have time to figure this out.

"Amelia, your turn." I snap out of my trance.

"Truth or dare." The same person says, I'm not sure what her name is.
"Truth."
She taps her chin. In a matter of seconds her eyes light up like a lightbulb.

"What's the most embarrassing thing someone has done to you."

I recite this memory and instantly cringe. I wouldn't say I felt that much embarrassment but I felt more disappointed.

"I was on stage; I won a dance competition and when I received my trophy the runner up jumped onto the stage, grabbed the microphone and spilled her thoughts on why she thought she would have won."

The whole group erupts into laughter and I join in. Lola slaps her knee whilst wheezing in between words.

"She...Ran...Stage..Ha!" She giggled, breathless.

We play an entire round of Truth or Dare and a few people had to go into the closet. Tyler's next.

"Truth or Dare, Tyler." A girl called Dani asked, or was it Daisy?

"Dare."

Daisy- or Dani smirks, she glances at me before speaking.

"I dare you to kiss Kyla."
