“I need a drink,” I heard the familiar voice of Justin say. I don’t think I will be drinking tonight, I have only drank alcohol twice before, the first time was totally a mistake and the second time was intentional.
Justin got up and disappeared into the house, few guys went after him.
“Don’t worry Mia, I am going to protect you from the horny teenage boys here.” Xander said, holding my hands.
“I will be the black knight in shining armor. Waving off evil with my sorcery power.” He added, I rolled my eyes at his lame attempt of being funny.
“Wait a minute, we will be graduating before summer right? The school needs to hold a special Halloween party for us, I will discuss this with Mr Lucas on Monday. Last halloween party in highschool, it has to be remarkable.”
Justin joins us a few minutes later, with the other guys following behind with a tray of cups filled with drinks.
“Does anyone want to go back inside to dance?” Justin asked, but nobody responded.
“Okay, let’s just go inside to finish up the game. I am freezing here.” He added.
“Very well then, let us all move inside.” Xander said, suddenly I saw a moving figure close to the burning woods with the corner of my eyes. By the time I looked towards the direction, no one was there. Maybe I was seeing things.
Everyone got up and we all began to move inside, following Xander and Mikhail’s lead.
Xander led us all inside a room, I was glad it wasn’t dark like the room the party was taking place. We were all about fifteen, I could recognize some boys from class, while others were totally strangers to me. I wasn’t surprised to see Jemima hanging on Alphonso’s arm, Jordan the principal’s son was here too. Including Juliet, Justin and Mikhail. Aminat was standing far away from everyone, I wonder if she was feeling out of place because she was the only hijabi here. She isn’t looking bad at all in her Jalamia and palazzo pants, her hijab was matching with her palazzo.
Mikhail and Xander began to arrange the double plush sofas and chairs in a circular shape. Then everyone moved over to pick a seat, some sat on the floor while others managed the available seats. I sat beside Justin on a sofa, gladly he was willing to share. Aminat walked towards me and sat on the floor beside the sofa, crossing her legs in an Arabian style.
“Hey, are you sure we should join the game?” I whispered to her.
“We don’t have any choice Mary, but just make sure you don’t pick dare, I have a feeling it might get dirty.” She replied, I nodded my head in response, giving her a sincere smile.
Xander brought out an empty bottle and proceeded to seat at the center of the circle.
“Listen up everyone.” He shouted, bringing everyone’s attention to himself.
“This game is called Truth and Dare.” He said, looking into our eyes, making sure to maintain eye contact.
“This game is totally different from the usual game we all know. In this game you don’t have a choice to pick either truth or dare.” He added, I shifted my gaze to Aminat, she was looking at me already.
“We are dead!” She muttered to me, I nodded my head in agreement.
“We are going to be doing both. You either go with one dare and one truth. Or you go with two dares or two truths. You can’t pick just one, you are doing both, or two of just of one.”
“Wait a minute, I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Do you mean we are doing both truth and dare at the same time? And we got to choose two truths or two dares?” Jemima asked.
“Yes, you got that right. That is why it’s called Truth and Dare, not Truth or dare.” Xander replied.
“One more thing, it is really going to get very dirty and raw, R rated. There is no backing out, you will have to carry out whatever is thrown out to you. If you know you are a chicken,”
“Bwak! bwak! bwak!” Xander added, putting his hands under his armpit and making a chicken sound, while flapping his arms.
“You can take your leave now. But you will have to leave this room, leave the party and go cry to your mama like the chicken you are, we don’t want any party killers here.” Xander said with a note of finality.
“Well this sounds interesting, I hope we will get to fuck some pussies though.” Alphonso said, looking straight at me. I looked away immediately. Whatever he was fantasizing about, I don’t want to share in it. I rolled my eyes as I shifted my gaze to Justin, he was staring at someone, I followed his gaze to whoever it was. Mikhail, Justin was staring at Mikhail and his sister. Juliet was wrapped around Mikhail’s arm and that seems to annoy him. I shrugged my shoulders as I turned to Aminat.
“I guess we have to pick truths all through.” I whispered to her.
She shook her head and got up.
“I’m leaving,” she said.
“What!” I exclaimed.
“I don’t care if everyone thinks I am a chicken, I’m going to go and cry to my mama. See you tomorrow.” She said still standing.
“Oh! What do we have here. Seems like we finally have a chicken.” Xander teased.
Aminat scoffed, hissing loudly.
“But you can’t leave that easily Aminat, you will have to wait till you at least participate in one of it. So let’s start with you.” Xander added, putting the bottle in Aminat’s position, without rolling it.
“Truth and dare, which are you going with?” Xander asked.
“Two Truths.” Aminat replied, sitting back on the floor.
I watched the way Aminat played with the tip of her Jalamia, it was obvious she was feeling uneasy.
“Who was your first kiss?” Xander asked, kissing his teeth loudly.
“No one,” Aminat replied.
Almost everyone in the room was shocked, they all stared at her with their eyes and mouth opened widely.
“Are you fu*king kidding me Ami, what about Musta…”
“Shut up!” Aminat shouted at Xander before he could finish his words. She looked really angry.
“I’ve given you the answer already, nobody. I haven’t had my first kiss yet, can you please go on and stop probing.” She added calmly.
Whatever Xander wanted to say died off, he didn’t say anything else again.
“You can leave now if you want to, but have it in mind you owe us one more truth.”
“I am staying,” Aminat replied, she wasn’t making an effort to leave.
“That is better, at least we know she is going to end up having her first kiss tonight.” Jemima said snickering.
Aminat replaced Xander’s position and she spins the bottle.
The bottle faced her brother, Mikhail.
“Two dares,” Mikhail said.
“I dare you to remove your top.”
“And I dare you to remove your trouser.” Aminat said.
Mikhail stood up and pulled his top off, same with his trousers. Leaving him in a white under pant that failed to hide the bulge in it. I guess that bulge made Juliet focus more on Mikhail, she was all over him. Touching his chest and caressing his abs.
“What a slut,” I muttered to myself.
Mikhail came to the center of the circle and spins the bottle, it rolled three time, before stopping in front of Xander this time around.
Xander got up immediately laughing out loud. “I pick one dare and one truth.”
“Who among the girls in this room will you love to fuck?” Mikhail asked.
