𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐄. The one game that was known to cause the most drama at a party. It was the game of secrets. It sparked the debate of keeping them or risking your reputation.

And at parties it was a must.

"Do you want to wait until Bethany and Theo get here?" Ella asked.

"No, let's start it now." Camila turned to Mei, "Can you grab the vodka and shots glasses? They're inside the cabinet."

"It's better for you anyways, El. That way you won't have to answer any of my major questions with the demon angel around." Mei winked at her friend slyly.

That was the thing about being an Aristocrat that they didn't tell you at the door, they had no problem throwing each other under the bus for their own benefit.

"Here's how it'll work. You'll spin this empty bottle," Camila set a glass beer bottle in the middle of the circle, "To whoever it lands on, you'll ask them a question. They can either tell the truth... or they can refuse and will have to take a shot. The catch is, if they refuse to answer the question, they also have to do the dare. No refusing that."

Everyone nodded along.

"Hudson will go first since he's the guest of honor." She explained and Hudson kneeled on the floor, spinning the glass bottle. Everyone was quiet as they watched it turn around and around until it landed on Ella.

"We'll start out easy. Who do you think is the best at tennis between the girls, not including yourself of course." He asked, and Ella immediately looked from Mei to Camila.

"Camila." She answered and Mei shoved her shoulder playfully.

"Okay Ella you're turn." Camila reaches over high diving her. She spun the bottle.

"Ezra, is it true a year ago you sold drugs to Emmett Walker getting him kicked off the rugby team?" She asked him. Ezra pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes.

"No comment." He winked, "But the fact he got kicked off was so not my fault. I heard someone tipped the principal off and she ordered the drug testing of all the players." Ezra took a shot, "What's my dare, princess?"

"Um... here's easy one, let Mei put her lipstick on you." She dared and Ezra rolled his eyes.

"It's not like we haven't done it before." He said before approaching Mei. Everyone cheered them on as she applied a coat of the blood red color across his lips.

When she was done, Ezra spun the bottle and Mei watched as it landed on her.

"Damn it." She murmured under her breath.

"Ooh, Queenie, you're in for it now." He laughed evilly, "Is it true..." He paused for suspense, "You made out with Seb at the party Sunday?"

Everyone turned toward her. The girls raised their eyebrows high. Mei glanced briefly at Sebastian who watched her with a furrowed brow and she cleared her throat.

Meili reached over and took one of the shot glasses then she downed it, "Just tell me what you want me to do."

"Okay, kiss him."

"W-What," She stuttered, "What did you just say?"

"He said kiss me, sweetheart. Are you deaf?" Sebastian set his drink down and stood up approaching Mei.

"Seriously, Camila-"

"It's part of the game, Mei." She cut her off, and Mei rolled her eyes.

"Damn it, you don't have to do this." She grit through her teeth. Sebastian leaned in close.

"Truth is," He whispered in her ear, "I want to." He was only loud enough for her to hear, but she felt herself blushing brightly.

Sebastian leaned back, looking into her eyes, then in a split second he grabbed her chin lightly and pulled her lips to his.

It wasn't a short and sweet kiss. He opened his mouth to hers and she did the same. Her hands slid up his strong arms and she melted into the kiss like honey. He was very good at this, and it made her insecure. He probably had a lot of practice. They didn't break apart until they realized they had to breath sooner or later.

Ezra began clapping, "Wow, that looked even better than the first time."

Other than Ezra the rest held shocked faces. Sebastian had went back to his seat, his lips stained red with makeup. Mei was still starstruck and unable to speak, and Camila and Ella both gave each other a look.

Then the door bell rang.

"I, uh, will get it." Mei stammered out then ran quickly to the door.

Bethany was standing there in a long mesh gown adorned with thousands of crystals. She twirled a lollipop between her fingers. Theo was behind her in a t-shirt, jeans, and tux jacket that added a touch of class.

"Hello whore." Mei smirked at her. Bethany rolled her eyes pushing past her.

"You have lip stick smeared all over your lips, babe." She called after Mei to took out a mirror and a makeup wipe from her purse.

"Hudson!" Bethany cheered and walked over to give him a hug, her heels clicking as they hit the floor, "You grew up so handsome." She said once they pulled apart.

Camila rolled her eyes at his little blush.

"It's really good to see you, Bethany."

"I know it is." She continued making conversation with him. Ella got up and approached Theo.

"Are you alright?" She asked him, and he nodded.

"Are you still mad at me?" He asked making Ella smile.

"I never was. It was just misdirected anger in the moment." She shrugged, "It doesn't matter if you know who did it or not. It's in the past."

"That's great, Ella." He smiled too, "Alright, I need a hug." They embraced and Bethany glanced over at them quickly deciding to break it up.

"Hello, Ella." She set a hand on each other their shoulders and they pulled apart, "I love your coat."

"Thank you." She answered quietly, "You're dress is beautiful, Bethany."

"How sweet." She half smiled, "Come on, Theo, let's go sit."
