I hope I'll finish this before I get out of high school. So yeah, it's kind of hard to keep a consistent update since online school is a bitch and work. But another wise I'm here to stay but slow updates. If you spot grammar mistakes or have an idea or a reaction, just comment. I don't bite unless if you wanna fight. Heh- it rhymes. Alright enough about me, let's jump back into the story! (~ ^)

Marcus and I certainly did face away from each other while we did our business. Lucky for us, nobody passed by because the way we looked was strange. Even just trying to unzip our pants with one hand was a bit of a struggle and Marcus cracked a few jokes to settle the awkwardness.
When we finished, we headed back into the store and avoided eye contact with everyone, and waited for the sliding door to open. We waited which felt like hours and the funny thing is, neither one of us was going to let go of our hands. We could let go and ball or hands into a fist but, Marcus never let go.
The door opened and you can hear Ray yelling. "That piece of shit! Dushan can suck my ass!"
We walk in and Marcus questioned. "What happened?"
Josh had his laptop open and states. "It appears to be that Dushan escaped from prison."
"What really? Pfft, I thought that dumbass would be stupid enough to pull that." (= =)   I rolled my eyes.
"Beer?" Marcus question as he nudged his head to the fridge.
"Yeah sure." (O o)
We walk to the fridge and grab our beers and set them on the table. Marcus and I only have one hand of our own to use, so we struggled a bit to open just two beers up. We laugh at each other so hard trying to open just one beer.
"So when would you like this off?" He raised our hands.
I wanted to say never but shrugged "I guess when this fucking game is over." (... ...)
"Also, I'm proud of you." He gazed at me.
"For what?" (? ?)
He smirked. "You've been taking your mask completely off with them around. That's what."
"Yeah, yeah whatever." I rolled my eyes.
Then I remembered, I was completely warming up to them finally. Since they never pointed it out, I kinda forgot about it. The room fell silent until we heard Sitara giggle. "Hey! You two should kiss."
We both glare over to see all of them kneeled on the sofa looking over at us. They all started to burst out laughing because they just saw the both of us struggle so badly and Marcus' pep talk thing. Marcus raised an eyebrow then looked at me but he didn't seem bothered by it, he just grabbed his beer and lead me to the group. We sit down and I take off my mask so I could drink.
"It's your turn" Ray pointed at Sitara.
"Alright then, truth or dare Ray?"
"Truth"
"What's the worst genre of music?"
I felt eyes on me so look over at Marcus and he was in his own world. So, I snapped in front of his face and he shook his head.
"You good?" I smiled.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He took a sip of his beer and focused his attention back on the game. Suddenly we see Josh taking a sip of Sitara beer.
"A dare is a dare." He put it back down and Marcus started laughing, I was surprised. Ray dared Josh to drink and did it without a problem.
"Josh, you alright man?" Sitara placed her hand up to his forehead and they chuckle.
When Sitara gets drunk, she gets super giggly. She'll laugh at any joke whether if it's terrible or not.
Josh picked me and asked if emotional pain or physical pain is worse.
"Emotional." I didn't care to explain.
"Sitara! Let's see how strong your legs are! Do a wall sit until it's your turn next!" I said enthusiastically.
She laughed. "I didn't pick-. Fine, I see." She gets up and walked over to the doorway.
"Marcus, truth, or dare?"
"Truth."
"Tell us, would you kiss anyone here in this room?"
I felt myself get red and I put my mask on, it looked fishy so I said. "Nah, Marcus you ain't kissing me." And scooted over but then scooted right back next to him cuz the tape was pulling.
He chuckled a bit. "As of right now, no." I slightly glanced over trying to process what I heard.
As of right now, those 4 words repeated in my head. Technically if he means me, he wouldn't want to kiss me because of my mask. Marcus asked me, so I picked truth. "How many people have you slept with?"
"You don't know this?" I look at him shocked and he shook his head.
"Probably like 4 or 5 people. Okay, Josh! I dare you to eat straight up hot sauce!" I changed the subject on purpose. I rather not talk about Naomi for once.
Josh takes out his mini hot sauce bottle that he brings everywhere that he puts on almost every single food he eats. He opens it and poured a lot into his mouth and swallows all of it. He doesn't make a sour face probably because he's been eating it forever the past four years.
"Hey, Josh? You wanna pick me?" She waves her hands cause she's been wall sitting for two minutes.
He smirked and asked Ray instead he said truth. "Are you scared that you're getting older?"
"No, not really. It just gets more difficult to move around quicker. That's all, I'm not afraid of dying, but this is the last one for me. Marcus, I need you to reenact your favorite Jimmy Siska scene."
"Fine, Wrench up." He pulled me up and started quoting lines from his most recent. He pointed his fingers up and started shooting Sitara and Josh. They played along and acted like they died and were laying on the concrete floor.
Marcus aimed the gun at Ray and he started chucking. "Not too shabby."
"I thought you weren't afraid to die?" Those words rolled off his tongue perfectly.
"I guess its my time." Ray sat down on the couch and pulled out his phone after he got "shot".
"What about me Siska?" I jokingly asked.
"Oh, you're Mary, Jimmy's new girlfriend. Why would I wanna kill you?" He winked and slightly raised our hands. I smirked and shook my head in disbelief, there was no way he would remember this.
Finally, the game was over but for the first time in a long time, I didn't get wasted. Our wrists had no hair anymore due to the duck tape. Marcus drank a bit more that night and would randomly start playing with my hair at times. We all got high, chilled, and mainly talked for a long time after the game. Ray left early cause he was tired cause needed some sleep from getting back from Colorado. Sitara and Josh left a few hours later which led me left with stoned ass Marky Mark. Which of course, I didn't mind.
Part of me felt like his genuine feelings for me were showing, but I brushed it off and figured that wasn't the case cause he was stoned/drunk. I had to walk Marcus to his apartment and he persuaded me to sleep there. He was worried about me walking home since I was drunk and my house was far. I tried to convince him that I would get an Uber home, but he dragged me into his apartment anyway. I crashed on his couch as soon as I laid down.
