"Weeeeeeeeee're heeeeeeeeeeere!" Jenna yelled as we walked into the party room. "OMG IT'S THEM!" Enzo fangirled. "What took you guys so long?" Mattheo asked, smirking. "Being beautiful," I said with a hairflip.
"We came up with our name!" Nira said. I swear every boy's left eyebrow rose up. "THE BITCH SQUAD!" me, Didi, Nira, and Jenjen screamed. "More like the Beauty Squad," Zac said, smiling. "Awwwww, thanks Zee," Jenjen said, her hand on her heart. I was distracted by the fact that Mattheo had nodded along with Zee's comment.
"Did you guys start without us?" a voice asked from the doorway. We all turned to see the guests I didn't want to be here standing there. "Hey!" Theo said, running a hand through his hair and walking over to Astoria. I cringed and hurried over to the food.
"Can't handle Theo's flirting either?" a deep voice that I somehow knew all too well asked from beside me. I jumped. "Holy shit! You scared me!" I said as Mattheo reached over to snatch a black-frosted cupcake. He leaned on the table with his elbow, looking extremely hot.
"That's my job," he returned, taking a bite out of it. I didn't have a sarcastic comeback ready, so I took a cupcake too. I took off the paper and ate it whole.
"That's not very ladylike. But let me guess, you're not like other ladies?" Mattheo said, finishing off his cupcake. Did he know me well enough to predict my comebacks?
"Hey guys," Zac said, pushing between us to grab a cupcake. He took a bite out of it, not realizing he just saved my ass from saying something stupid.
"How's Theo doing?" I asked, looking over to see him talking to Astoria. "I don't know if you would call 'talking while blushing and glaring at everyone to stop trying not to laugh' good..." Zac trailed off. Mattheo laughed.
"I just want them to get a room," I whined. "You're not alone," Mattheo muttered. "I second that," Daphne said, coming over. Didi, Enzo, Draco, Jenjen, Nira, and Pansy followed.
"Is this where we can complain about Theo's flirting skills?" Tom asked as he walked over. We all nodded. "Then this is my new home," he said. I snorted.
"Should I do something?" I asked. Everyone nodded immediately. "I'll take that as a yes," I said, walking over to Theo and Astoria.
"Hey Astoria! How was your summer?" I asked. "It was great! Me and my family went on a cruise ship to the Bahamas!" she said, smiling. "Well, I was wondering if you and Theo would like to go to the Three Broomsticks with me and Mattheo next week," I said. Theo raised his eyebrows. "I would love to!" Astoria said. I smiled. "Great! I'll go let Mattheo know that we'll have an extra two," I said.
"You're welcome," I hissed into Theo's ear as I walked back over to the rest of the party. "Well?" they all asked impatiently. "They're off to the Three Broomsticks next week," I said triumphantly. "I feel like there's a catch," Mattheo said. I smiled guiltily. "Welllllllllllllllll, yes. You have to come with me," I said.
"Why'd you have to get me involved?" he asked, clearly pissed. I shrugged. "It's easy to annoy you," I said. Mattheo rolled his eyes. It was starting to get hot in my leather jacket, I took it off and threw it on the floor.
"Well, who's ready for some truth or dare?" Jenjen asked, grinning like a maniac and pulling out a large potion bottle.
"I swear, she always has something ready," Nira muttered. "Hey lovebirds!" Draco called to Theo and Astoria. "Wanna play some truth or dare?" he yelled. "Sure!" they both said.
"I'm playing," Daphne said, walking over with Pansy. We all sat down, and Theo and Astoria came to join us soon after.
"Rules are," Jenna began, placing the bottle on the floor in the middle of our 'Slytherin Circle.' "1, no killing. And 2, nothing that could possibly land you in detention," she finished. "Got it?" she asked. She death-stared all of us until we nodded.
"Good. Then, I'll start," she said, spinning the bottle. It landed on....drumroll please..........................ZAC!
"Zee, truth or dare?" she asked, smirking. "Hmmmm...truth," he said. "Take a sip," Jenna said, gesturing to the bottle pointed at him. He grinned and took a sip of the truth potion.
"Who in this room would be the best to date?" she asked. "Here we go," Didi muttered. "Obviously, Cae," he said. "Thanks, dahling," I said, flipping my hair. "My turn now," Zac said, putting the bottle back on the floor and giving it a spin. It landed on.........DIDI!
"I chose dare," she said automatically. "I dare you to kiss Tom," Zac said, grinning. Didi groaned. Tom scowled. But, they scooted closer together, leaned in, and their lips connected.
For a millisecond.
"DONE," Didi yelled, leaning away from him. Tom and Zac smirked.
Didi spun the bottle. It landed on Mattheo.
"Oh God help me," I muttered. "Truth or dare, Riddle?" Didi asked. "Dare," Mattheo said, grinning. I gave her a pleading look, which was ignored. "I dare you to make out with Cae," she said. I felt my stomach roll.
"We're in this together," Mattheo whispered to me as we scooted closer. "I guess," I whispered back. Then, he took my face into his hands and pulled me in. I grabbed behind his neck, and our lips locked.
"BABY LET THE GAMES BEGIN! LET THE GAMES BEGIN! LET THE GAMES BEGIN! ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!" Didi and Jenna screamed. I ignored them as I kissed Mattheo.
It felt like an eternity when we had finished. But my face was red. And Mattheo was smirking. And my Bitch Squad was giggling. And the boys were grinning.
"Spin the fucking bottle, Mattheo," I said. "If you insist..." he said, obeying. It landed on Nira. I let out an audible sigh of relief.
"Truth or dare," Mattheo asked. "I'd rather not find a make out buddy tonight, so..." she said, grabbing the bottle and taking a sip.
"Did you complete the mission?" Mattheo asked. Tom immediately looked at Nira expectantly. Meanwhile, the rest of us were confused. What mission?
"Yes," Nira said quietly. Mattheo and Tom didn't say anything after that while Nira spun the bottle. It landed on Astoria.
"I pick dare," Astoria said. A grin grew on me, Didi, Jenjen, and Nira's faces. Theo groaned. "Make out with Theo," Nira said. Daphne looked livid. I assumed that she didn't like Theo very much.
Astoria and Theo, like the me and Mattheo, and Didi and Tom, scooted together. They leaned in, and their lips locked. I saw Enzo cover his eyes like a child, and I stifled a laugh.
"I think I'm done with this game," Theo said, standing up. "Well, the only other thing we had planned was spin the bottle so..." I said, smirking. Theo sighed and sat back down. But I could tell that he felt uncomfortable.
"Why don't we just do that? I mean, we're only daring each other to kiss whoever we ship them with, so let's just do spin the bottle," Astoria suggested. Theo's eyes widened. I bit down on my fist to keep myself from laughing.
Timeskip cuz im ✨lazy✨
"Okay, I think we've had enough makeout sessions to last us the rest of the school year. And I'm tired," I said. Jenna and Draco had just finished their making out, and I was kind of getting sick of watching everyone make out. Not that I was jealous that Astoria had to kiss Mattheo! *insert debby ryan face here* oh, did I tell you that Theo and Nira had to make out? Whoops. Anywaysssssss
"Yes ma'am!" Enzo said, giving me a salute. I rolled my eyes and herded him and everyone else out the door. When everyone left, Mattheo and I set to work cleaning. In wizard-speak, that basically means making everything disappear.
"I'll go get ready for bed," I said, yawning. "Okay," Mattheo said. He yawned. I grabbed some pajamas from my still-packed duffel bag and went to go change.
Just as I was finishing up, I heard Mattheo talking to someone in the dorm. Pretty quietly, so I guessed that he didn't want me to hear.
But I still listened in anyways.
"Yes, I asked her and she said yes. I I don't think she was. She had just drunk vertisium(or however the hell you spell the truth potion). We were doing a truth or dare game," I heard him say. There was a long pause. "Yes, I will remember. Goodbye," he said, then I didn't hear another word. I quickly finished up, then got out of the bathroom.
"Done," I said, combing my fingers through my hair. "I can see that," Mattheo said, smirking. Then he walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
