Do I Dare?

Playing Games

I just love the game of truth or dare. It's funny, really it is. I mean, If you say, "Dare." the person makes you do something silly, stupid, funny, or boring. And I love to play Blackjack. Somehow I was raised thinking life in general was a game. That's because I'm pretty good. I've only been beat once. But he was good. Real good. But where's my manners? You probably want to know my name. I'm Cameron. Cameron Ann Morgan. Everyone calls me Cammie. Code name, Chameleon. My mom's the headmistress and my step dad's the Cove Ops teacher.
"Cammie. Cammie. Earth to Cammie!" I jolted.
"Oh! Sorry."
"Now's not the time to be daydreaming, Cam." Bex Baxter, my best friend, said. Macey McHenry, my other best friend, glanced at the double doors.
"Speaking of daydreaming, look at what just walked in." We looked to see Zachary Goode, Grant Newman, and Jonas Anderson coming in with a group of other guys. When they sat down, I noticed that Zach took the empty spot by me.
"Um...I'm going to go to Professor Buckingham's." Zach pressed his knee into mine, and smirked.
"Study geek?" Liz Stutton's head popped up, as he spoke.
"Maybe." I said, softly.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"So. You play twenty one?" Zach inquired, amazed.
"Undefeated." I boasted.
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Maybe you just never had good competition." Preston shuffled the cards.
"Now you two know the rules?"
"No cheating." I stated, annoyed.
"Best 2 out of three ok?" We both nodded. Preston dealt the cards and I looked at mine. I can do this. I'm undefeated, I've never been beaten. I had a 7 and a 10. If I can beat a girl, then I sure as heck can beat a boy. Breathe, Cam, breathe. "Hit or stay, Cam?" Preston asked me. Zach's eyes met mine.
"Hit." He passed me a card. It was an ace. That meant 18 was my number. Should I risk it?
"Hit or stay, Zach?" He smirked at me. I hate that smirk! I wish I could slap that smirk off your face.
"Hit." He took his cards.
"Hit or stay, Cam?"
"Hit." This time, a 2. Meaning 20. Breathe, Cam, you've got this.
"Hit or stay, Zach?"
