Hatred / l.h ✔️

~Iris' POV~

A few days later, Ashton and Sheila suggested that we play something called suck and blow. I had no idea what it was, but if it had anything to do with what my mind first conjured up, then I definitely didn't want to participate.

It was pretty late at night when it was suggested, first by Sheila and then Ashton jumped into agreement, and almost everyone had gone to sleep already. By now, the only ones awake were me, Luke, Calum, Ashton, Cassie, Sheila, Jazz, and Nelly. Cassie and I exchanged a look, neither of us having an clue what exactly suck and blow was. "What is suck and blow?" I asked, frowning in confusion.

My question caught Calum's attention, causing him to look over at me and grin. "It's a game. We all sit in a circle and basically you just pass a slip of paper from your mouth to the two people beside you. One passes it to you and then you pass it to the next, and the objective is to not drop it, basically." He explained. I stared at him, furrowing my brows. "Cal, that...sounds dumb." I said, frowning in confusion. He laughed, nodding. "It is." He agreed simply, not even bothering to deny it. I smiled in amusement and shook my head, shrugging. "Okay, then. I guess I'll play." I agreed. What could it hurt?

Calum, Ashton and Sheila grinned, seeming to be satisfied with my answer. "I'm good." Cassie denied, shaking her head with a chuckle. "I'm probably going to bed, actually." She said, causing me to pout. I hugged her goodnight and she headed upstairs, stalking off down the hall to go to bed. "Yeah, I'll play." Jazz shrugged, her voice sounding very careless and casual. Nelly, however, shook his head. "Mm, I'm good, too." He refused kindly.

Luke stared at me, his eyes narrowed into little slits. "I...guess I'll play." He said reluctantly, like he was unsure if he wanted to play if I was playing too. I narrowed my eyes back at him as we all moved to sit in a circle on the floor, frowning when he sat down beside me. "Must you sit here?" I huffed, trying to scoot away from him. He scowled at me, his knee brushing mine as I was forced to move back towards him when Calum sat down beside me. "Yeah, I must, unfortunately." He muttered, glaring at me.

I glared back at him, watching as Ashton pulled a little sheet of paper out of practically nowhere. "I hate you." I muttered to Luke, crossing my arms over my chest in irritation. "Like always, the feeling is mutual, bitch." He scoffed.

Rolling my eyes, I watched as Ashton started the game, passing it over to Jazz as she sat beside him. She easily then passed it over to Luke, who turned to me and gave me an expectant look. I scrunched my nose up in disgust, not wanting to get so close to him, even if there was a piece of paper that separated our lips. I didn't want my mouth anywhere near his. Unfortunately, though, I forced myself into leaning forward.

As quickly as possible, I sucked the paper from his mouth to mine, turning away to then transfer it to Calum. Calum then passed it onto Sheila, who transferred it to Ashton. The game went on for a few more minutes before Luke and Jazz began making it much more uncomfortable. When Jazz when to pass the slip of paper to Luke, he reached up and simply pulled the paper away from her mouth before their lips met roughly. I scrunched my nose up as the two of them began making out, everyone else staring at them with disgust as well. "Well," I began, scooting out of the group. "I think I've had my fill." I decided, standing up.

Calum and Sheila chuckled while I stood up, whereas Luke and Jazz paid absolutely no mind to me. "Goodnight, guys." I smiled, heading towards the stairs while they bid me goodnight as I left.

I headed up into Cassie and I's room, quietly shutting the door behind me as I entered the darkness of the room. I changed into a pair of pajamas before I climbed into bed, situating myself under the covers before I fell into a deep sleep.
