Chapter 9 - Almost the Opposite

~Lex's P.O.V~

Sammy smiles, sitting back in the circle after closing the bathroom door for Matt and Kate's seven minutes.

I smirk, hoping this'll turn out right. I mean it's obvious they're both interested, is it not? I'm pretty sure that they just need to realize it for themselves.

...Plus Matt's being really touchy for some reason - if this doesn't work, who knows what will?

I sigh turning back to the circle where Johnson has picked up the beanie from beside him, sticking his hand in.

"Dare - have a twerk-off with someone two to the left of you." He looks up, glancing to his left to see Mahogany.

"Why is it always me?" The spunky red head laughs, staring at Johnson.

"You're going down."

"Whatever punk, let's just get this over with."

Gilinsky grabs his phone, "What song?"

I lean my head on his shoulder, staring at his screen as he scrolls through his music library. I see a couple songs that would work, and finally suggest one, "How about Hesher?"

"By Wallpaper?" He glances down at me, flashing a smile, and I blush before nodding my head. He presses play - fast forwarding to the bridge, and Johnson and Mahogany go into the middle of the circle, ready for battle.

Mahogany does her thing, Gilinsky pretending to be a sports commentator from the side lines next to me. "Mahogany Lox hitting her groove with a plain and simple, original style twerk."

She rolls up, laughing, before sitting back down beside Aaron. "Ain't got nothing on me."

"Oh really?" Jack raises an eyebrow and goes over to a space on the wall, pushing himself up into a handstand facing it.

"Oooh, and Johnson counters with an off-the-wall, upside-down booty shake!"

I laugh from beside Gilinsky, as Johnson comes back down, hitting his chest with his fist in Lox's direction.

"And the judges say....." Gilinsky points his imaginary mic at me.

"I'd say that.... The win goes to Mahogany." I smirk, and Johnson slumps back down in his spot.

"But why though?" He pouts.

"You have to have a booty if you're gonna twerk."

"OH! Alas young squire, that is true." Gilinsky laughs, and the innocent bystanders - Brooke, Sammy and Aaron - nod their heads in agreement, holding back giggles. I look up at Gilinsky's perfect display of teeth, a light smirk slipping onto my face in the process.

"I'm over it." Johnson puts his hands up, rolling his eyes before chucking Kate's hat over to Aaron.

"Truth - Who are you into at the moment?" Aaron lets out a long sigh, looking around at all of us. "Well since this was asked, there's something I need to let out."

I raise my eyebrows, confused. Why would Aaron be saying something so secretive now? I mean, he met Brooke, Kate and I this morning... My eyes scan the people around me, noticing that everyone looks as confused as I feel.

He lowers his head, "I'm actually head over heels in love with..... Taco Bell."

There's a pause in movement in the circle, everyone silent, before I choke on air, beginning to laugh, "Aaron, you little butt!"

"Aren't we all in love with Taco Bell though?" Johnson laughs, "How is that a secret?"

"I just really, really love Taco Bell." Aaron grins, holding a hand over his heart. Mahogany rolls her eyes, playfully shoving him.
