Adventure Bay High

The Kiss

TW: underage drinking mentioned, mentions of mild homophobia

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story...

'So, how did everyone find Hamilton?' asked Rubble.

'Loved it as always,' answered Marshall. 'But do you think Alexander is bi? He might also be into Laurens, if ya know what I mean...'

'No we don't Marshall,' Chase bluntly stated. 'You have read too many gay fanfictions.'

'Nothing wrong with that.'

'That was actually weally good! Wocky, awe you okay?'

Rocky was snuggled in the corner of the room, tissues surrounding the floor space around him.

'Yeah...' he sniffled. 'It ... tears me up every time...'

He blew his nose.

'Right. I'm better now.'

The others laughed.

'I'm too hyped to go to sleep. Let's play some games!' said Skye, leaping up from Chase's lap, where she was sat for most of the film.

'Why are you standing up?' asked Everest.

Skye sat back down again.

'What about stuff like Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, Kiss, Marry, Kill?'

'What's that?'

Everyone looked at Zuma with 'that look' again, apart from Rocky, who was gathering the thrown tissues and planting them in the bin.

'Guess we'll do some of that then,' said Everest. 'Educate Zuma a bit.'

After explaining the rules of Kiss, Marry, Kill, the seven teens were in the game, laughing and having a good time.

'Kiss Marry Kill...

Miss Katie, Principal Goodway and Chickaletta!'

Everyone except Chase, who had received this strange suggestion, was rolling on the floor laughing.

'Are you okay Rubble?!'

'Just do it Chase!'

'Okay, well...I would kill Chickaletta...'

'Don't let Principal Goodway hear that...'

'But I don't blame him, chicken is really nice...'

'Stop guys! Kill Chickaletta, Kiss Principal Goodway and Marry Miss Katie. Can we move on now please?'

Everyone else was laughing their heads off. They then decided to move on to a new game.

'Truth or Dare!' suggested Rubble and Everest.

'Never Have I Ever!' said Marshall and Chase.

'What about both? It will be like Never Have I Ever, but if you haven't done what is stated, then you do it!'

'Genius idea Skye!'

So that is what they played. Marshall grabbed a bottle, and Skye spun it. It landed on Rubble.

'Have you ever done the cinnamon challenge?'

'What's the cinnamon challenge?'

'You have to try eat a spoon of cinnamon without water.'

'I have not, but I will do now. Marshall, where is the cinnamon?'

Marshall ran off and came back with a small jar of cinnamon, a teaspoon and a glass of water.

Rubble picked up the heaped spoon and swallowed.

'Not too bad. Can I have another one?' 

Everest laughed as Rubble spun the bottle.

This game carried on for quite a while, but they started to get more serious. Not like 'going against the law' serious because they were responsible. Well, not for all of them. Marshall and Everest was wasted. Marshall span the bottle, and it landed on Rocky.

'Have you ever kissed Zuma? Not like a peck on the chhek kiss but a long proper kisss if yuo know what ah meaaan...'

'You are so drunk Marshall...' Rocky tried his best getting out of it but he couldn't.

'A darreee is a daaarree roCKy...' answered Everest, before collapsing on Marshall. Passed out. Marshall passed out on top of her. :)

He looked at Zuma hesitantly. He slowly walked towards him. I am so going to regret this, he thought. Nonetheless, he got closer and looked into those gorgeous eyes.

'Do I have to? Cos the people who asked are unconscious...'

'Let's just get it ovew with...' muttered Zuma. He moved closer to Rocky and kissed him. It felt good. Rocky gently kissed back a little. They separated.

'I need to pee...' muttered Rocky, who ran to the bathroom. He couldn't believe that just happened.

'Not bad...' said Zuma.

Chase, Skye and Rubble sat in shock.

'What?! We awe just fwiends, a kiss won't change it. Besides, it was a dawe. And my owd fwiends kissed me wike that so she knew how to kiss othew guys. That's nowmall wight?'

The three stayed with the same expressions. They saw a great relationship. It's just that Zuma hadn't a clue. Did Rocky?

Skye ran upstairs to 'pee', and ran into Rocky.

'Can I talk to you for a second?'

'Um...yeah. I'm not in trouble am I?'

Skye gave a cute little laugh.

'No. Do you like guys?'

'...'

'Rocky?'

'Yes. I didn't want to tell you in case you wouldn't want to be friends. Including the other guys. They'd freak out and avoid me, in case I'd 'hit on them'.'

'Don't be ridiculous Rocky. We would be your friends no matter what.'

Rocky gave a small smile.

'Do you ... have a crush on anyone?'

'I don't have a crush on Zuma!'

'I never mentioned Zuma...'

Skye had a smug look on her face. She knew it.

'But don't worry, your secret is safe with me.'

'Cheers, Skye. I'm going to sleep now.'

Rocky went inside the living room and crawled into his sleeping bag. Skye went to the toilet, then cuddled  up with Chase. 

'You okay?'

'Yeah. Never better. Especially with you.'

The two cuddled together under a blanket and dosed off.
