It's Different

Chapter Three

Shit, shit, shit, what were they all doing here?! I quickly turned my eyes away from them, trying my hardest to avoid eye contact, trying to think of an escape plan. I couldn't believe this; I couldn't wrap my mind around how these three were part of Sara's circle. I had just began loosening up, making myself feel comfortable, as Sara had requested, and there walked in the whole group of enemies from my past. Should I tell Sara that I wasn't feeling well and that I had to leave immediately? No, I didn't want to be a downer. I bit my lips and tapped my feet anxiously, at this moment I wanted to be invisible, or I could settle for a magic disappearing act. I turned back to their direction when my eyes fell directly into Eleanor's own, she flipped her golden-brown hair and shot me a mischievous grin.

"Anyways let's get this going," Sara said as the three tried to fit themselves into the earlier formed circle. "Who wants to start?" Sara asked as she looked around at the rest of us.

"It's only fair that you be the one to start since it was your game idea." One of the girls in the circle smirked. Sara rolled her eyes.

"Okay, I'll start, never have I ever been in a physical fight," Sara started. Majority of the circle drank. I contemplated whether or not I should drink, but what if Taylour called me out on my lie? Afterall she was the one that I had a fight with, even though it didn't escalate into something big, could it still be considered a fight? I decided to take the drink, my shot of wine, thanks to Hazel for saving me from having to consume more than 8% of alcohol. Sara stared at me in astonishment. Damn it, I thought as I realized what was coming next. "Sophia!" she exclaimed, "I didn't know you were a fighter," she giggled.

"She sure is," Eleanor mumbled.

"Please behave," Khan said to her quietly.

"Tell us about your latest physical fight." Sara said to me. I could have lied, but did I want to?

"I went to a party in the summer, I was drunk and I attacked a girl," I kept my answer as vague as possible.

"Attacked a girl?" Hazel said with amusement in her voice "I didn't know you had it in you."

"She looks so quiet," one of the guys in the circle said.

"I know right?" another guy agreed.

"It's the quiet ones that surprise you the most." Eleanor said as she stared at me dead in my eyes. Taylor jabbed Eleanor in the ribs with her elbow. 

"Stop it," she mouthed as soon as Eleanor broke eye contact with me.

"You guys are reading into this too much, Next!' Sara said to the person sitting beside her. Thank you for that Sara, I said mentally letting go a sigh of relief.

"Never have I ever made out with the same sex," the guy said. Yes, a statement that will not draw any attention to me. Most of the girls drank, including Sara, and one guy. Hazel looked at me and hesitated a little before she took her shot. Why did she watch me like that? Did she think that I would look at her differently? I wondered what situation she was in that caused her to kiss a girl, she seemed a little embarrassed about it. Maybe is was just a prank, or maybe she did it out of curiosity?

"Never have I ever had sex in public," the next girl said. This game was about to get real personal, real quick I thought as I took a shot of my wine, Sara choked on her shot when she saw me drink.

"We have alot to learn about you German." Sara exclaimed. She looked like the alcohol had already started getting to her head. But what did I expect, this girl was taking pure vodka shots with no chaser.

"Where did you do it?" The girl who asked the question asked another guy.

"In a church," he snickered.
