"ok," caleb said, resuming the game of truth or dare they were playing on the side, his hand running through sadie's hair with her head laid in his lap. "matt, i dare you to prank call the sturniolo's and say you're their long lost quadruplet or something."

matthew laughs and take a sip of his cup, "we've done that so many times they've blocked me. give me another."

"i got one," charlotte hums, pointing at the black haired boy, "i dare you to let us tweet something off your twitter."

matthew widens his eyes.

"don't be a pussy," charlotte sings.

the boy rolls his eyes as his friends start to mischievously chuckle when he tosses his phone into charlotte's hands. she licks her alcohol coated lips as she opens matthew's twitter.

"something that'll get him trending," sadie adds.

"mm, how about 'just set up my only fans account'," charlotte grins.

"oh that's good, do it," caleb says, looking at matthew.

matthew cringes, "my moms going to kill me when she sees that—"

"posted," charlotte says, tossing matthew his phone back.

"ok your turn," matthew says. "truth or dare?"

"dare."

charlotte stumbled up to her feet and flopped onto the couch next to matthew who was staring at the floor trying to think of a dare.

"i dare you to wear a scuba suit to billie's birthday party tomorrow."

charlotte crinkled her eyebrows, "oh hell no. also where did that come from?"

matthew laughs, "you made me do it when we went to her party the year before."

charlotte laughs at the the memory, "difference is was you didn't even have an outfit in mind beforehand. speaking of tomorrow night, are you guys all going?"

"yeah, of course," sadie said with caleb nodding along. "marcus is only going 'cause billie's his celebrity crush."

"oh fuck off," marcus spat at sadie, putting his drink aside. "is jude gonna go?"

charlotte shrugged her shoulders, "he should be."

right on cue, charlotte's brother came downstairs with about a million cups from his room that he rarely bothers to put away.

"judey jude," matthew slurs, pointing at the boy to get his attention.

jude glanced from the hallway at the group sprawled around the living room and rolled his eyes, "charlie, what did i say about letting these idiots over."

"nice to see you to you too," sadie sarcastically said, sticking her tongue out at jude.

the boy stepped into the living room after putting his cups in the dishwasher and joined his sister on the couch. he scoffed and took her drink out of her hand and put it aside.

"you're drinking. on a sunday."

"uh huh," charlotte nodded. "and you're rotting in your room."

"jude, you coming to billie's tomorrow?" matthew asked.

"yeah i guess so, why not," he sighed in response. being the more responsible one, he began collecting the booze and snacks to trash them in the kitchen, "just letting you guys know, our dad gets home in like twenty minutes."

"shit," charlotte mumbled. "alright, out out out," she said, ushering her friends up.

caleb, being the only sober one, grabbed marcus by his collar before he could reach his car keys, "not gonna happen. i'll drive you."

marcus rolled his eyes, but let caleb guide him down the hallway, "bye parker's, see ya tomorrow."

"bye marccie," charlotte waved.

matthew and caleb waved goodbye as well as they left the house, leaving the twins and sadie alone.

"wanna stay over?" charlotte asked sadie, a question she's asked probably over a billion times.

"yup," sadie said, allowing charlotte to help pull her up.

the two went up to charlottes room and did their usual night routine of getting into bed and putting on some dumb youtube video to watch and fall asleep to.

"charlie," sadie yawned. "if we split up tomorrow night just meet me outside at like 2:30am ish, that's when i ordered our ride to come and he can drive us back to my place if you want."

"that sounds good," charlotte replied, not knowing that that was quiet the opposite of what would happen tomorrow night.
