"I THINK I COULD GET FAT OFF THAT MAC AND CHEESE," Cole nods to himself, rubbing his stomach as if he's already gained ten pounds. After finishing off the pasta, a dozen ice cream sandwiches, and a couple sodas, we travel back down to the basement where there are more comfortable couches and a bigger TV.

"If you're not careful you will. I've been told my cooking's lethal," I say referring to Liam's constant comments about how I try to take him out through my food.

"Let's play a game!" Kate exclaims.

Alex raises an eyebrow, "Elaborate?"

She sits up taller on the couch, clearly preparing to pitch us her idea. "I say we play Never Have I Ever!" A few of the guys groan, but it doesn't turn Kate off her game. "Come on, it'll be fun!" Her smile is so big and she sounds so excited, I have to agree.

"Okay, yeah. That could be fun!"

Alex is the next to go along with it, "Mmm... sure. If Katie wants to play Never Have I Ever, we'll play Never Have I Ever."

We all put our fingers up, prepared for the first person to go. "Never have I ever... lied to my parents about being hung over," Erin says proudly. I find that hard to believe coming from Erin, but I go along with it.

Cole, Alex, Trevor, Liam, Kate, and I all put a finger down. "You're kidding me, Jack, you've seriously never told your parents you weren't hungover?" Alex looks at him in disbelief.

"I've never had to, I always stay at one of your houses until I feel better." Jack explains with a laugh at his apparently fool-proof method. I'm going to be honest, I can appreciate the dedication.

Trevor rolls his eyes. "Oh yeah, so just throw us under the bus. Jack you're so smart."

"At least I'm not going home hungover," he says confidently, proud of his loophole.

The next question comes from Cole, "Never have I ever kissed a someone of the same sex." His eyes fly directly to Trevor, who groans at being called out.

"Dude! It was one time and it was a dare!" he starts to panic like we're all really going to hold it against him, but we all laugh our asses off at how worried he's getting none the less. "You can't hold that against me!" he raises his voice to try getting his point across, however that only earns more laughter from the majority

"Trevor, if you're holding something back you know you can tell us," Alex pretends to comfort him, so Trevor swats the boy's hand away that landed on his shoulder teasingly.

Trevor stares directly at Alex, and I have a feeling he has something just as hilarious to hold against him. "Never have I ever challenged an animal to a fight," he fires back at his curly haired friend. Challenged an animal to a fight? Wait, what! My jaw drops and I use my hand to cover it to try to muffle my laughter.
