Marcus and I went to the liquor store and got Budlight for Sitara, Corona and Rolling Rock for Marcus and I and some Jack Daniels for all of us. We got Josh his favorite energy drinks, since he doesn't like to drink alcohol. We walk into the hackerspace together and we see Sitara and Josh sitting at the table talking.
"Hey I got beer for all of us!" Marcus shouted and we walked over to the table to empty out our bags. I set aside the beers and I put Josh's drinks in front of him.
His face lit up. "Thank you Wrench."
"Pshh. Don't thank me, thank him." I glanced at Marcus. "He payed for it and made me look like a fool by arguing with me about who should pay." I looked over at Marcus (^ ^) and walked to the fridge to put the rest of his drinks in there.
Then Josh smiled brighter and smirked at Sitara, I knew he told her.
"Josh, come follow me." I walked to the stairs.
Sitara and Marcus give a weird face at each other then look at us. Josh followed me up the stairs and they stayed. I checked the time and it was 2:45.
When we reached the top, I started with, "So, What did I say before? Do you remember?" (? ?)
"Yes. You told me to keep it between us and I did." He said with pauses.
"But you told Sitara. She knows right?"
(- -)
"Yeah, but not like the whole story. I only told her that you were interested in Marcus. So technically, I did keep what happened between us. She was very confused and curious." He paused. "Also sorta pestered me because she was worried that something bad was going on."
"Oh, well she knows to not tell Marcus right?" (O o)
"Well obviously, we wouldn't wanna mess up your move anymore, before I didn't understand that you didn't want Marcus to know yet. I was trying to help you, to get with him. I'm sorry for telling her."
"No, it's fine. I'm glad you didn't tell her everything. But, honestly for right now I'm just trying to find out wether or not he likes me." (/ \)
Josh nods his head then shrugged. "I mean, it's kinda-."
I see the door open behind him, it was Ray. He was holding a case of beers and some more whiskey. Josh moved over so Ray was able to get in. "Hey guys, how've you've been? I got back from Chicago not too long ago and Marcus invited me over to party with you guys." The door closes behind him.
"I am good." Josh smiled.
"Nice." Ray nodded his head, patted Josh's shoulder.
"And what's up with you Wrench?"
"Meehhh, im doing alright." (# #)
"I'm going for a beer, you ready to drink?Even though it's 3:00 in the afternoon." He said while he walked down the stairs.
"Don't say or do anything else." I whispered to Josh and walked down the stairs to meet up with everyone.
"Alright." Josh followed.
Marcus walked over to us, handed us our open drinks.
"Thanks." Josh mumbled and I winked at Marcus. (~ ^)
Marcus smiled brightly and turned around but why so quickly? We all make our way to the locker room and I sit down on the far end of couch while Ray sat on the other end.
Sitara, Josh and Ray rambled on about something while I was watching Marcus at the table, carry some beer to the fridge. Then, came over to us with our second beers and placed them on the side table for later. He took of his hat and started walking to his locker, swings it open and he looks confused. That's when it hit me, he was fucking looking for his beanie that I took out before. Why am I so stupid? Why couldn't I put it back? I thought to myself.
Marcus glanced down at the floor, then up on top of the lockers.
"Whatcha lookin for?" I asked.
"Ugh, my beanie." He turned around to check the table behind him. I looked around me on the couch, I didn't see it so I pocked my head under the couch. I saw the black soft beanie, laying on the cold ground.
I grabbed it, stared at it shaking my head back and forth.
"Yo Marcus, quit losing you're shit." I faked a laugh, I was anxious.
He turned around and gave me a bright smile. "Damn, it would've probably been lost for quite awhile if you weren't here. Thanks Wrench." I give him a fist bump as he sits down next to me as I watched him put it on his head.
(Wrench's Internal Panic Attack moment where he realized he could've fucked up, again) I just stayed slient while my thoughts continued to yell at me.

"Let's play a game of truth or dare." Sitara blurted.
"Pshh, were not playing a high school game." Ray chucked.
"You go first honey." Sitara nudged Josh.
"Oh, ughh.... what are we doing." He snapped out of his trance.
"We're starting Truth or dare, Josh."
"Oh, okay. Sitara truth or dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to go take a shot of whiskey."
"Already? Fine." Sitara sighed.
She got up and scurried to the table, took a shot glass and poured the alcohol. "Hey Ray? Truth or Dare?"
"Ugh, truth." Ray though for a moment.
Sitara took the shot like a pro. "Is it true that you drool in you're sleep?"
"What kind of ques-?"
"Answer it RAY!" Marcus yelled out.
"No, I don't drool in my sleep."
"Huh. Funny, last time you slept here you had this big puddle of drool laying beside your mouth. I suppose it was someone else's then." Sitara smirked and walked back over to sit back in the circle.
"Well, somebodies a lier." Marcus tagged along.

"Haha, okay I lied. Wrench, you've been quiet over there, dare or truth?"
"Dare." I said. (@ @)
"Okay." Ray reached behind him a grabbed a roll of duck tape and tossed it to Sitara. Marcus and I look at each other we both had a feeling this wasn't gunna end well.
"Sitara, go over there and help them duck tape their wrists together."
I rolled my eyes, could this get any worse. Sitara grabbed our arms and then interlaced our fingers together. Then she began to duck tape.
"Woah, woah, woah, you didn't say we had to be holding hands. Like...what if our hands get sweaty." Marcus was thrown off. "And how is this Wrench's dare? When it involves me too?" He was trying to get out of the dare. After Sitara ripped the tape she stepped back and handed the tape back to Ray. I looked over to our hands, then up at Marcus. I could tell he was getting red, he's probably embarrassed.
"Now you two have to stay like this the whole game." Ray clarified.
"WHAT! WAIT! How long is this game gunna be?" (! !)
"How ever long it takes." Josh muttered.
"What if we have to go take a piss? I gotta bring Marcus?" I looked towards Marcus and whispered. "No offense."
"Nah man, I thought about that too." Marcus said.
"That's not my problem." Ray smirked.
Part of me wanted to punch him and his stupid smirk, but then I calmed down when I realized. "So what if we don't do the dare." (? ?)
"Nothing, I'll just call you guys chickens for now on."
Marcus and I didn't say a word to each other. Part of me, wanted to stay like this with Marcus holding my hand. But the fact that we're drinking, we'll have to go piss 20 times together before the game even ends. I noticed that Marcus and I were closer together now and it made me smile underneath my mask.

I started. "Alright, Marcus. Truth or Dare."
"Dare."
"Rate yourself, on a scale of one to ten."
"Ughh." Marcus takes a sip of his beer with his left hand. "Rate what about myself ?"
"How attractive." (- -)
"I'll give myself a 9.5."
"You got some confidence, dude." Sitara nodded.
Damn, he does have confidence, at least he knows he's good looking. He never has talked much about how he looked, he's not some cocky narcissistic guy. I just wanted to lay on his shoulder, our hands were already interlaced. No, it was done by Sitara. It's just a dare, don't do anything else because he'll know that you like him, then you too will be awkward for the rest of you're friendship.

Marcus asked Sitara.
"Dare." Sitara answered confidently.
"Ughh, I dare you to empty out your bag that you have on you."
"Oh, ok. I need to organize it anyway so.."
Sitara took out her phone, car keys, mini spray paint cans, her portable charger, her wallet, candy, a few of Josh's things, her makeup, hair ties and her brush. Like DAMN, I don't carry a bag here at all. I only bring my phone and my car keys, that's it.

"Hey Joshy, truth or dare?"
"Is it true that you're ticklish?"
"Ughh maybe?" He backed up from her a little bit. Marcus and I chucked.
"Where?" Josh didn't answer her. "I guess I'll have to find out." Sitara lunged towards Josh and he started laughing hysterically.
"Wrench are you ticklish?" Marcus raised his left hand over to me and began ticking me and I was squirming and I couldn't get away from him.

While laughing Josh said. "Marcus t-truth o-or dare."
"Dare."
"I d-dare you, SITARA STOPPP PLEASEE!"
Sitara stopped and kissed Josh's cheek. "I'm sorry."
Josh begun. "I dare you to do a split."
"Can't." He raised up my arm with his.
"Try to."
Marcus and I got up. "It's been awhile, but I'll try my best with this leach on me."
"Like I had a choice!" I laughed.
Marcus slowly made his way down into a spit as I crouch beside him so our duck tape or even our arms didn't break.
Everyone cheered and clapped because they were impressed. I've seen him do it before so I knew he could do it now.
Marcus and I got back up. I also realized I needed a beer.

"Truth or dare Wrench?" Marcus smirked.
"Truth."
"Now, what would you're stripper name be if you we're a stripper."
"I'm surrounded but children." Ray shakes his head.
Sitara chuckled. "We all know yours T-BoneR!"
"Ha ha funny, you all are immature."
Then I thought of the perfect name for me. "WHISKEY WRENCH!" (O o)
Everyone looked at me with their eyebrows raised.
"What? It's a great stripper name right?" (? ?)
Marcus began laughing, at least he liked it.

"Sitara, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What is you're hidden talent?"
"Ughh, I can sing."
Josh gasped. "I wanna hear it."
"No, no I rather not." She blushed.
"Shit." I mumbled. (. .)
"What? You gotta pee?" Marcus asked.
"Maybe... yeah." (- -)
We both got up and Sitara's voice echoed through the hackerspace and it was outstanding. I check the time on my phone, it read 3:07. Marcus and I made our way up the stairs and punched in the code. I swiftly ran out the door as soon it opened and avoided the strange glances the people in the store even from our DedSec ally in the corner of the room.
We rushed out of the door and I dragged Marcus to the alley way.
