mean, I've got better things to do but It can be fun.' Said Sam.
I looked at Cassie. She looked tired and worn out.
I sighed. 'Lets just play.' I crossed my legs.
'Yay!' Everyone shouted.
I looked at Conor who was staring at me. He smiled at me. And I just couldn't help myself but smile back.
Chapter 15

We spinned the bottle again on the grass.
We all looked at it, concertrating and all praying that it didn't land on us.
It slowed down. And it stopped at Rick.
He didn't looked bothered.
We were all sitting in a circle. I was next to Seth and Matt.
'Okay. Truth or dare?' Matt asked.
He paused for a second and then said, 'dare.'
'Okay. We dare you to...'
Matt whispered something to Rick.
Rick smiled. 'Thats easy.' He looked at me. For some reason, I felt that this dare is going to include me.
'Whats the dare?' Cassie said.
'Yeah, what is it?' I said, confused.
Rick got up and came my way.
I raised my eyebrows, whats he going to do?
Rick came near me and sat down.
I laughed. 'Thats what the dare was? To sit next to me. Guys seriously-'
Rick crashed his lips to mine. I was so shocked but not because my ex's boyfriend's is kissing me but the fact that in the corner of my eye, Conor looks angry. Is it what I think? Is he jealous? His face was red with hatred. He looked pissed.
Rick stopped and looked at my reaction. I didn't know what to do. I just looked at him. Rick smiled at me and got up and sat in his normal place like nothing happened. Everyone including me looked at Conor who threw his coke can on the floor and walked off.
I stared at him while he walked away, clenching his fist. He was jealous. So jealous. It bought me back from when the new guy from our school was laughing with me. Conor crushed him. Just because I was talking to him. He was THAT jealous. And now he saw his own kissing me. What feeling must he be going through? Hatred? Jealousy? Betrayel?
'Ruby? You okay?'
I turned my eyes away from Conor and looked at Seth.
'Yeah. I'm fine.' I said, clearing my throat.

Matt and Rick laughed. 'That was halarious.'
I looked at them, clearly shocked with what just happened.
Before I could tell them what was on my mind, Cassie interrupted.
'Guys, that wasn't right.' Cassie said, clearing the plates. She didn't even look angry. She actually looked kind of pleased.
'I know but-'
'Rick. You shouldn't be laughing. You should go apologise to Conor. He looked pretty mad.' Cam said.
'But-'
'Go!'
Rick was about to go when Josh grabbed his arm.
'Apologise to Ruby first.'
Rick smirked. He looked at me. 'I'm sorry.'
I couldn't say anything. I was still confused with everything.
'By the way,' Rick said. 'Am I a good kisser?'
Sam quickly got up and chased Rick into the house.
Everyone laughed and left to get ready to go asleep except for Seth.
'Hey, Ruby. You really okay?'
I looked at him. He looked concerned.
'I mean, the kiss was just a dare.' He said. If only he knew. 'I didn't understand why Conor got angry.'
I shrugged.
'I guess someone has a little crush.' He said, cheekily.
I smiled. 'I guess.'
'Come on.' He helped me get up and we went into the house.

Chapter 16

'Okay.' Cassie said, getting everyone's attention. We were in the living room, sitting on the floor.
'The girls are going to sleep in that room.' She pointed to the room at the left. 'And the boys are going to sleep in that other room.' She pointed to the room at the right.
'Thats not fair.' Matt said. Everyone groaned. He's been complaining all day.
'What?' Cassie said.
'There is 6 boys and 3 girls. How are we going to fit in?'
Cassie rolled her eyes. 'Thats the only way. What else way is there?'
'We could... ermm...' Before he could finish, everyone including me, went to our assigned place.
The girl's room was great. It had one big bed and a sofa.
'So, who's sleeping on the sofa?' Cassie said. We all looked at eachother.
Me and Cassie ran to the bed and shouted dibs.
'Oh man.' Cam said. 'I hate sleeping on the sofa. It hurts my neck.
'Well, tough.' I said, before callopsing on the bed.

It was 10pm and we were all sleepy except for me. I tried to phone my mum but my stupid phone was not working.
'Don't worry. She'll be okay.' Cam said.
'I know, its just I came here all of a sudden and my mum-'
'Sshh, It'll be fine.' Cam said, trying to fall asleep.
I put my phone away.
Cassie was talking to her husband. Maybe I should ask her if I could borrow her phone.
'Okay, byee. Love you!' Cassie said, before hanging up the phone.
'Cassie.'
'Hmm.' She mumbled, laying next to me on the bed.
'Can I borrow you-'
BEEP. It was Cassie phone. She got a text message.
Cassie smiled. Oh, must be her husband. I sighed. I'm the only single girl in this room. That shucks.
'Erm, Ruby.' She said. She started rubbing her neck. 'My throat is dry, can you get me a drink?'
'Oh, erm okay.' I said. I'll ask her about the phone later.
'Oh, and ruby.' Cassie said. I looked back. She smiled. 'Take your time.'
'Okay.' I said, confused.
I went out the room. The opposite room sounded like there was a party going on. There was music at its full volume and boys screamingand shouting. I smiled. I thought, us girls, were noisy.
I went to into the kitchen. The light was already on.
I went to the sink and put the tap on. Conor. I wonder what he's doing right now. Is he thinking about me? Nah. Why would he? Hes my ex boyfriend, remember.
'Your wasting water.' A voice said. I turned back to see Conor. Omg, did he hear me? Wait, I was thinking. How can he hear my thoughts? I quickly turned the tap off. Oops, I was wasting water.
'You okay?' He said before sitting on one of the chairs across me. He had lasagne and juice.
'Ermm, yeah. Just didn't see you there.' I said, getting water from the tap.
'Did you think about what I said?' He said, quietly.
'Hmm?' I said. What did he mean? Then I remembered back home when he asked if we could be friends. And then I, being the crazy person, didn't reply. 'Oh yeah.'
He looked at me. His eyes making me feel nervous. Oh man, I'm falling. I'm falling for him.
'Yes.' I said. 'Let's be friends.'
He smiled. 'Thats great.'
I smiled back. My tummy suddenly growled. Oops, I was hungry.
He smiled, 'You want some lasagne?'
'No, its okay.' I said. My tummy grumbled again. I smiled. 'Maybe a little.'
I sat opposite him on the dining table. He got me a plate and put half of the lasagne in.
He gave me a fork and when I took it from him, our fingers touched. And for some reason, I didn't want to let go. And he didn't either. Then I remembered. He kissed another girl. He was drunk.
I took the fork from him, and started eating. He looked hurt but just smiled.
Sorry, I wanted to say. But I kept quiet.
The lasange was amazing. It was better than the ones in the resturant I get it from.
'Wow, this is amazing. Where did you get it from?' I said, taking another bite.
'He smiled. 'I made it.'
I nearly choked. 'You what?'
He laughed. 'I made it. Just now, before you came.'
'Wow, I never knew you were a good cook.' I said, getting that tingly feeling in my stomach.
'I'm okay. I just like to cook.'
'Why don't you be a chef?'I said.
'Nah. I can't.' He said. He didn't make eye contact and just ate. He was hiding something. And I wanted to know what it was. Whats making my boyf- I mean, my friend so sad?
'Anyways, you should get some sleep.' He said, getting my empty plate and his and putting it in the sink.
I sighed. 'I guess.'
He walked to the sofa and put out the blanket.
'What are you doing?' I said.
He looked at me. 'I'm getting ready to go asleep.' He said, like this wasn't weird or anything.
'What? But what about the boy's room? Are you not going to sleep there?' I said, getting up.
'Yeah, that was the plan.' He put his hand through his hair and sat down. 'I kind of fell out with them.'
'With who?' I said.
'All of them.' He said.
I rolled my eyes. 'RIght.' I put my sleeves up and put my hands on my lip. 'Goodnight.'
Conor looked at me and smiled. 'Haha, Are you going to go beat them up or something?'
I smirked. 'Thats the plan.'
Before he could stop me, I went out the door and made my way to the boy's room.

Chapter 17

I can't believe I kissed her. I kissed Ruby. That girl who I had a crush on for so long. I kissed her.
I smiled.
'Whats up with you?' Matt said, throwing a pillow on my face.
I laughed. 'Nothing. Just life, i guess.' I threw the pillow back.
Matt frowned. 'Who are you and what have you done to my twin brother?'
I laughed louder this time. 'I'm right here, bro. I'm just happy. Can't I be happy?'
Matt rolled his eyes.
I was sleeping in my sleeping back looking at the stars outside the window. I sighed. I want her. I want her so much.
I want to touch, kiss and love her. And not hurt her like Conor.
Josh and Sam were playing on the playstation. Seth was on his laptop. And Matt was on his phone. The music was so loud.
Conor must be on the sofa in the kitchen. It's weird. Not that theres a sofa in the kitchen but that Conor got mad at us. He never got mad at us. But I
