Outcasts
Page 26
It only took three bottles of beer to turn Sam as pink as salmon and a bit deaf, start to laugh and talk louder than normal. When boredom slowly crept in, the girl with the shiniest red hair they called Ginger suggested that they play Truth or Dare.
“Yes. Let’s play that ‘cause this party sucks.” Another drunken girl agreed. She had her nose pierced and couldn’t seem to stop playing with her pierced tongue. Her eyes were locked on a guy and a girl pinned on the walls, making out.
Chloe rolled her eyes. “Just because nobody wants to make out with you doesn’t mean the party sucks, Martha.”
The girl who got both her nose and tongue pierced frowned. “Who’d want to make out with jerks?” She started to stare at the two girls standing in front of them surrounded by four guys.
The redhead suddenly stood up and almost spilled her beer all over Sam. “Okay, let’s entertain ourselves and play truth or dare,” she suggested again.
“This is Diana’s house. She’s a popular cheerleader. Why don’t we look around and maybe we’d find some weird stuff? Wouldn’t it be fun to discover something about one of those perfect cheerleaders at our school?” The goth girl said.
Martha shook her head. “You have issues you need to fix, Luna.” She said
Sam got up. “Chloe, I think we should go. I’m starting to feel weird. I can’t feel my hands.”
Chloe checked her watch. “Sam, it is a quarter to ten. We agreed to leave fifteen minutes before eleven.” She offered Sam another bottle of beer while the other three had additional bottles too. After a couple more beers, Ginger proposed again that they play Truth or Dare.
And they all finally went for it. When it was Sam’s turn, she didn’t even hesitate to choose dare.
Dare. Samantha Banks chose dare, a choice she made which she would regret making for the rest of her senior year because as soon as Ginger saw Aaron and his other jock friend passed by, she was doomed.
Kiss Aaron Lanter, on the lips, with your tongue, for ten seconds — was the dare.
Chloe, Ginger, and gothic girl froze as Aaron walked to them.
“Oh, Sam, did you really have to call him imbecile?” Chloe muttered. She was growing nervous as few teens from the crowd started to gather around, waiting for what was about to happen.
“Who are you?” Aaron asked Sam. He looked really pissed.
Sam, on the other hand, was drunk and didn’t really care what was going on. “My name is Samantha Banks, your majesty, a humble servant from nowhere land.” She further ridiculed Aaron with a curtsy. “Actually, I know you know me because we had four classes together last school year. But you just pretend you don’t have a clue since you’re the so-called heartthrob, and you’re brainlessly following this preposterous social structure, where a socially well-accepted person such as yourself would and should only acknowledge other popular people’s existence. And since I am obviously neither cool nor popular, hence the ‘Who are you?’”.
“Excuse me?” Aaron said.
“Is she drunk or high?” The Gothic girl whispered.
“Let’s go, Sam. I think we drank more than enough booze for tonight.” Chloe said. She had more than five bottles; however, Sam’s alcohol tolerance was low compared to hers.
Sam had already turned red, not because of the tension everyone in the kitchen started to feel but rather due to the effect of the fourth bottle she had. She walked over to Aaron, smiling. “Listen, my friends and I are playing truth or dare. I chose dare. Now, I have to kiss you.”
Some giggled, and some just stood there with uh-oh looks on their faces.
“Is she serious?”
“Where’s Nicole? She’s got to see this?”
“What did you just tell me?” Aaron couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Whoa, dude. Nerdy got hots for you. Respect! ” Zack mocked.
“Oh, please.” Sam rolled her eyes. “Like you’ve never kissed before? It’s simple. My tongue plays with your tongue and then we swap spit. Like this.”
And before Aaron could even express his displeasure, Samantha Banks, Lediville High’s nobody, grabbed his collar, and slammed her mouth against his before everyone’s very eyes.
