A Not Full House

Soem News

"Abbie! Alan! Jason!" Heather yelled.

I run downstairs and sit on the couch.

"I have some news." She says in a harsh voice.

"What is it" I squeak out.

"I've noticed some tension between the three of you. So I've decided that you three need to bond." She says her blue eyes piercing mine.

"Bond how?" Jason says.

"I thought you should spend time together. So for twenty four hours you are going to be locked in a room and you will have to spend time together." She smiles.

"When are we doing this?" I ask.

"Now. Go pack your bags."

I run upstairs and pack a bag of stuff for 24 hours, makeup, clothes, phone, laptop, headphones. I walk into the hallway and I am grabbed and put in Alan and Jason's room.

"Have fun you three" Heather says then grabs all our electronics and then locks the door.

"Shoot!" I yell as I bang on the door.

After a minute I give up and sit on the floor. Jason and Alan's room is surprisingly clean. It's a light blue and their beds are black.

"So, what are we gonna do" I ask.

"I don't know. Talk?" Alan says.

"Oh! let's play Truth ripper!" Jason adds.

"What's that?" I ask.

"Well we ask a question, and if they don't answer in one minute we put a shaving strip on then we rip it off, it happens every minute till they say the answer."

"Sure, sounds like fun" I say sarcastically.

"I'll ask the first question, um.... Oh! Who do you like from the school?" Jason says smiling.

A minute goes by no one says anything.

We all put on a shaving strip and rip it off, I bite my lip to stop from screaming.

We all say nothing.

Another 50 seconds go by.

"Ten more seconds" Alan says watching his wrist.

Should I lie? Should I tell the truth? They are mÿ brothers.

They are an inch away from my leg with another shaving strip.

"I like Cooper White!" I blurt out then put my hand over my mouth.

Their jaws drop.

"So the girlie speaks." Jason says with an evil grin.

Alan says nothing because he can't stop laughing.

I just sit.

"Well it's gonna be real funny when you tell me who you like." I say.

10 minutes go by.

"Fine, I like Carly" Alan says.

"Carly? Like my best friend Carly?" I say my voice rising.

"Yeah, I've liked her since 6th grade"

I smile.

"I guess I'll say too. I like Kate Richards."

I stand up grasping reality.

"Abbie are you ok?" Jason asks standing up and stealing me.

"I I I I'm finnne" I say slurring everything.

And that's when the whole room goes black.
