We all sat in a big circle, with a few people I didn't know. I'm sure I'll get to know them better as the game goes on.

"Ok! Hayley, truth or dare," Frank slurs drunkenly.

"Dare," I say, still not completely drunk.

"I dare you to.... drink another beer,"

"Pshh. What kind of dare is that, Franklin the Turtle?" I ask, while getting myself another drink. I drank it fairly quickly before sitting back in the circle. It was my turn to pick someone, so I decided on Abigail.

"Abby. Truth or dare?" I ask.

"Dare," she says confidently.

"I dare you to kiss that guy," I say, gesturing to a guy I recognized from school. I just couldn't quite get his name right, "his name is like... Breadnoob or somethin' I dunno." I finish.

"My name is Brendon," the guy chimes in (haven't you people ever heard of shutting the gosh diddly darn door) Abby shrugs, and pecks the guy on the lips. Her and Brendon blush, while Frank has a look of utter jealousy on his face. He brushes it off quickly, and the game continues.

Twenty minutes later, the game is still going strong. Gerard has his underwear on his head, Brendon and some guy named Jeremy switched clothes, Mikey ran naked through the street (we didn't even dare him to), Bob told us the name of his crush, a guy named Taylor ate a brown banana, Frank had to give Abby a lap dance, a girl named Ashley had to kiss a guy named Pete, and a guy named Patrick also had to kiss Pete.

Now, it was time for Ray to pick someone.

"Hayley, truth or dare?"

"Dare," I say, being brave.

"I dare you to switch clothes with Mikey," he dares, and I look over at the youngest Way. He is wearing a pair of black jeans and an anthrax shirt. "You have to switch underwear too," Ray adds last minute.

Mikey and I trudge to the bathroom, where he gets behind the shower curtain, and I stand in front of it, so we can't see each other. We both strip, and pass our clothes over the curtain.

"Nice panties, Mikes," I admire, looking at the My Little Pony boxers in my hand. I put on his outfit, and he puts mine on.

"Well your bra is pretty nice too. I like the lace. I'm sure Gerard will too, if you know what I mean." He says and I can practically hear the wink at the end.

"Seriously!? Does everyone know about this stupid crush?" I ask.

"Everyone but him." He answers, and I sigh deeply.

"Can I come out?" Mikey asks.

"Yep," he walks out wearing my dress and flats. This may sound weird, but the dress really compliments his legs and figure.

We walk back into the living room, and we are greeted with an eruption of laughter. Mikey's face turns pink, and we sit back in the circle. The game ends when Gerard and Mikey get a call from their mom, telling them to get home. Mikes and I switched clothes quickly and he left after saying goodbye.

"Gerard wait!" Frank yelled as Gee started leaving the house. "Hayley has to tell you something," he says, looking at me slyly.

"You didn't tell Abby yet!" I whispered harshly.

"Yes I did! Now go get your man!" He whispers back.

"Uh, hey Gerard," I say awkwardly looking at my feet.

"Hey. What was it you wanted to tell me?"

"I-I um," I stutter. No, pull yourself together girl, "I like you."

"Oh, well-" Gerard is cutoff by Mikey telling him they need to leave immediately. "I'll see you in school Hayley," he says, leaving me with a kiss on the cheek. My hand reaches up to touch the spot. What the actual fuck just happened?

He was probably really drunk. It's nothing. I don't mean anything to him. I don't mean anything to anyone. He doesn't care and I don't care that he doesn't care.

I start to walk back home, and Abby catches up to me.

"Hey Hayley,"

"Hey. What's up?" I ask.

"I was wondering if you wanted to sleep over at my house. I'm sure your parents wouldn't be happy if you showed up at your house drunk," she laughs.

"How did you know about my parents?" I question so fast I'm surprised she even heard me.

"Know what about your parents?"

"Oh. Nothing. Nevermind. I'll sleep over," I say and sigh in relief.

We walk back to Abby's house and she throws me a pair of pajamas, which I put on in the bathroom. She does the same afterwards, and joins me on her bed.

We end up on tumblr and YouTube for the rest of the night, gently falling asleep to the sound of Dan Howell and Phil Lester.
