It Only Took A Dare [Edited]

Chapter 11

"Haha, obviously none of you had Breakfast yet, well, neither did we, so come on, let's eat together!!"

I got out completely and smoothed my outfit. I nodded at Andrea "Thank you very much! We are hungry since everyone was in such a hurry, we barely ate anything at all!"  I smiled at her as I emphasized 'Hurry' and glared at Alden and Nino while I said, Hurry... 

She giggled "Okay, come on!! We have a few guest rooms, once you're done keeping your items there, we can have breakfast". 

I nodded and caught up to Alden hooked my arms with his and looked back at Vera who seemed to be walking very slowly. I didn't know how she felt, but I did know she needed support right now... I left Alden's hand who looked at me with playful sorrow, I smiled at him and cocked my head towards Vera. 

He gave me an understanding look and I smiled as I walked back and held hands with Vera and squeezed it. She looked at me gratefully and she quickened her steps with me. We walked in as best friends, and I admired the place's interior. It was beautiful!!  She squeezed her eyes shut and squeezed my hand. I looked at her and whispered, "Hey, girl, you're completely fine." She opened her eyes and Allison and Alair came back to us and walked with us... 

We were in awe at the beauty... Vera mumbled something that I barely heard.
"This place hasn't changed a bit" she mumbled... I smiled and looked ahead. 

We climbed the stairs and Andrea led us to a room We went inside it. 

"This place is so cool !!" Alair said. 

"I have got to agree!" Allison said 

"Mhm," I said looking around 

"It's really good," Vera said... I was surprised she even said anything.  She looked at me... and shrugged slightly. Andrea gleamed at us and nodded. 

"I know, the interior was planned by my parents and their friends!!" she giggled and widened her eyes...

I think those 'friends' were Vera's parents. She shook her head.

"Where will the boys be staying ??" I asked. 

"Their room is right beside yours!" She smiled...

I nodded and started unpacking. 

"Call us if you need anything!!" she yelled as she went down the stairs. 

"Okay!!" Alair yelled back. We quickly set everything here and there, the room was fairly large... Once we were done with everything, we got out of the room and knocked on the boys' door. They came out in a few minutes. 

"Vera, shouldn't you remove that shawl now?? They'll know anyhow" Nino whispered. She shook her head. 

"I'll be careful while I can." She said seriously. 

He shrugged and we slowly descended the stairs. Andrea and the rest were discussing something and immediately stopped when they saw us. Andrea stood up and smiled at us,

"Come on, let's get Breakfast!" She chirped happily. Ace nodded and Rayan and Jordan did the same, except they smiled too, which Ace did not.

We went to the dining room and settled down with Alden and Vera on either side of me. Just as I sat down, Vera gripped my hand tightly. She came near my ear and whispered with her jaw clenched... 

"I have to remove my scarf to eat," she said. I froze. Oh lord, what was she going to do now? This is going to get awkward. 

Vera suddenly cleared her throat, "Actually, I'm not that hungry. I usually don't eat breakfast. So, I might feel uneasy the rest of the day..." she said while playing with her hands.
