Novel & Cerita Is There A Truth Or Dare 2

Someone yelled for Truth or Dare, and a circle formed on the stained carpet, maybe twenty of us, half-wasted already. It started innocent. "Truth...worst hookup story?" Giggles erupted. Then dares ramped up. A girl stripped to her bra, chugging a beer. A guy made out with his buddy, the room whooping. My heart pounded when it was my turn. "Jessica, truth or dare?" Anna grinned from across the circle, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "Dare," I said, buzzed enough to feel bold. The guy hosting...some frat bro named Mike, smirked.

My name is Zara, 20 years old, and I was the one who suggested Truth or Dare. “Rules are simple,” I said with a mischievous grin. “No backing out. No chickening out. If you refuse, you drink.” Everyone cheered. The circle included my best friend Chloe, her boyfriend Marcus, my roommate Elena, the quiet but hot guy from my psych class named Liam, the athletic soccer player Derrick, the flirtatious party girl Sophia, and the mysterious transfer student Jax. The game started innocently enough. Chloe dared Sophia to do a body shot off Derrick’s abs. Laughter erupted as Sophia licked salt from his skin. Derrick dared Liam to confess his biggest crush. Liam blushed and admitted it was Elena.

The day after I proposed to my fiancée, she sent me a message out of nowhere saying it was over. I called her over and over, frantic, but she hung up every time. I sent message after message, and she read every one without replying. I even went looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found. It was not until I collapsed onto the couch, completely drained and white as a sheet, that I finally saw a new social media post from her childhood friend. [Only Ellery would actually go through with it. She drew the dare to dump her fiancé cold—no explanation, nothing—and she really did it. Absolute legend!] I read it, then replied to her message: [Got it.]

Before I could ask what, Liv tugged me toward the couch where a small group had already started the most dangerous game in college: Truth or Dare. Jace was there, sprawled like a king. Ryan leaned against the wall, trying to look uninterested. Liv pulled Leo into the circle, and we squeezed in between them. It started innocent enough. “Truth,” said Liv. “Have you ever had a threesome?” “Do MMF and FFM both count?” she purred. Everyone groaned. Liv winked and sipped her drink. Then it was Ryan’s turn. “Dare,” he said flatly.

While for the next turns, it goes to Skyla, also having a truth instead of dare. Yet, it doesn't mean the game is boring while Skyla tells the truth about her, deceiving her mother about the broken vase replaced by the new one with similar motive. It turns to be more challenging, especially when Stacy's turn arrives. "Which one will you take, truth or dare?" Skyla enquires curiously. As she waits for the reply, she is quite sure that Stacy may take a truth, just like others. While Stacy herself, without any second thought, answers, "This time, a dare. I get tired of listening those truths multiple times!"

I was about to start when Rhea asked why I didn't tell them the truth. “Truth? What are you saying?" I asked. "You're unable to tell them that we're a couple, Daniel. What do you take me for?”

Tonight the whole room felt like that. Like something had been filling up for a long time and the walls were starting to flex. Jake dropped his controller with a clatter. “Alright, I’m done getting my ass kicked. New game.” Tyler didn’t even look up. “What game.” “Truth or dare.” Jake said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “But no truths. Truth is for pussies.” Marcus laughed, that slow sound that always made me think of honey and something heavier. “So just dare, then.”

“I… haven’t.” I didn't even know what it was. Jake gawked at me. “Seriously?” Chris muttered something under his breath, but I didn’t catch it. “Well,” Jake clapped his hands together, “we’re playing now.” I shifted uneasily. “How does it work?” Jake's grin didn’t falter. “Simple. Someone asks you ‘truth or dare.’ If you pick truth, you have to answer a question — no lies. If you pick a dare, you have to do whatever the person says. No backing out.”

Shirley said in disbelief. "Babe, I really don't know. I don't need to pretend, If it's something I don't wish me like doing, I will tell you straight up,” he replied with a smug smile. "T stands for TRUTH and D stands for DARE. Truth and Dare!!! Who in this era doesn't know that?" I still can't believe that you don't know, Shirley said.

I knew James wouldn’t give up until we agreed to play his stupid games. “I don’t know how to play poker,” Adara said seriously and we all just looked at her. How was that even possible? Who doesn’t know how to play poker? “Truth or dare it is, only we play it our way. If you answer a truth question, you drink, if you refuse to answer it, you drink twice. Same goes for the dares.” James rubbed his hands together in anticipation as he looked at me and grinned. “Let’s rather not play that one.” Yes, everyone had a past, especially me. The way James was grinning at me could only mean trouble.
