Spin the Bottle

Chapter One

The carpet below Tyler cradles his feet as he gets out of bed.

"Good morning, babe," Jenna says from across the room. She was already getting dressed for the day, "It's 11, Ty, get up."

"Okay, okay. I'm up,"

"Josh called earlier at around 8 or 9. Maybe you should call him back?"

"Okay, yeah," He says yawning loudly.

Tyler: What's up? You called me.

Josh: Yeah. Good morning, sleepyhead.

T: Ugh. What do you want?

J: I was just wondering if you and Jenna wanted to come over later. Alyssa, Samantha, and I are having a party.

T: I'll try to persuade her, but I don't know if I can make her.

J: She's no fun. She never lets you hang out with us. :(

T: I said I'll try.

Tyler looks up from his phone and glances at Jenna. She was making bacon and eggs. She's always in a good mood when she's making the both of them breakfast.

"Hey, Jenna. I was wondering if you wanted to go to a party later today?"

"Hmm. Where is it?" She turned around to look at him.

"Josh's pla-"

"No. I told you already, Josh isn't good for you. He's a homosexual and you shouldn't be hanging out with him. I think he has feelings for you, Tyler," Jenna cut him off.

"It's not only him. Alyssa and her girlfriend are there. You like talking to them."

"Who else is going to be there?"

Tyler looks back down at his phone without answering.

Tyler: Who else is there?

Josh: No one. Just you, Jenna, Sam, her girlfriend, and me.

T: Jenna said no.

J: Ughhhhhhh. She's such an asshole. It's because I'm bi, right?

T: NO! She's not a homophobe!

J: She might be.

"Jenna, we never go out to do anything fun after..."

"After what, Tyler? Would you like to remind me of the time you 'accidentally' kissed Josh? And how you lied to me about not doing it?"

"It was an accident, we walked through the same doorway and bumped into each other. You just seemed to walk in just in time for it to happen," he crossed his arms over his chest, "then said I was gay for five days after that. You even threatened to break up with me. Over an accident!"

Jenna turned back to the stove and dumped out the now burnt eggs and bacon. She stormed out of the kitchen back into the bedroom. Tyler knew not to go up there or she'd slap him in the face like last time.

Tyler: We have two cars. If she wants to show up she can. I'm about ready to break up with her. She such a bitch sometimes.

Josh: I know, right? I've been trying to tell you.

T: I know.

J: When are you coming over? Now? Later?

T: Now.
