I'm Scared

"In 3!" I could feel my heart beat fastening. I took a quick look at my friends beside me, who's fingers we're still intertwined with mine. We had to work as a team. Staying together was the main focus of this challenge, luckily for Bonnie. Theo's eyebrows furrowed together in focus, his one blue eye that wasn't covered by his hair was glistening a bit from the reflection of the light. He was ready to do this. You could just tell by the determined look on his face. He kind of forced me to have hope in a way.
I mean if Theo, an unbelievably short and non athletic boy had faith in our team winning that meant I had to, too. "2!" My gaze switched over to Bonnie. He was biting the nails off his free hand. I quietly chuckled. Bonnie didn't seem like the type to get nervous. In fact, I thought he would be excited for this. He had said he loved being scared. He looked at me and our eyes connected for a second. He grabbed his leather jacket by the collar and readjusted it as he licked his lips. He didn't say anything, just smiled and winked at me which caused my cheeks to heat up. It was weird. I had yet again just caught Bonnie in a state where he wasn't cocky and he didn't know. I smirked to myself as I turned back towards the clock. "1!"
The lights shut off. It was pitch black dark. I've realized that it's my turn and that I may have pissed my pants.
