Just This Once

"You're worth it, okay? Shut up. I love you. Don't look away." One look at Amaryllis Rosewood, and you'd be sure that she was a popular girl. Blonde hair, skinny and tall, she's the perfect image of a girl with confidence, who does whatever she wants. She couldn't be farther from that. She's never had alcohol, a first kiss, or even a friend.

Amaryllis moves to a new school, one that's famed for being academically-focused and very strict on rules. But the students, however, aren't as perfect as their parents and teacher think. In fact, they spend their evenings quite differently...at least, that's what the members of the SR do anyway.

Amaryllis finds herself joining a group of rebellious students who call themselves the SR- Silver Rebels. She stumbles into a new, intricate world where she finds out who she is and what it means to fall in love. It all starts with a classic game of truth or dare.

"Oh my god, Matt, you can't just ask someone that!" Evelyn shot at Matt, but she did so with a smile. I groaned internally.

Oh, no. Come on. Not this kind of question.

"She doesn't have to answer that if she doesn't want to."

I turned to see who had spoken. It was the tanned guy who had introduced himself last- Caleb. He hadn't spoken since telling me his name.

"Uh, she definitely does," Brandon pointed out. Caleb scowled at him, and I awkwardly looked at them staring darkly at each other. Caleb gave Brandon a disgusted glare before turning away. Everyone was immersed in little conversations for a few seconds before finally quietening down to look at me in silence.

Sighing, I looked up. "Yes," I said reluctantly, playing with my hair. All eyes were on me.

It's a game of truth or dare. You have to tell the truth. Just this once, right? Just this once.
