Almost the whole student gathered around the campfire, with a block of wood burning at the center, the student sat on the logs around it.
"So welcome to this night gathering," one of them stood up to introduce.
"This gathering as you can see is with no admin around, just for us to enjoy the night," he said cheerfully, and then they gave an applause.
"You better make this night yours. So let's begin!!" They applauded and then they began with games, mostly couple games as Maddie will do with Justin, for the first game but when it was time for the second game, Maddie was about to have Justin as his partner but then, Mira came in.
"I'll do with you, Justin," she stated as everyone turned in the direction of seeing her standing outside the circle, she was dressed in a big black hoodie and red pants, her hands pocketed hiding injury but Justin took notice of the fresh mark on her arm.
"What happened to your-"
"Okay, let's go with the event, partner up with your partner and now we start the competition."
Justin immediately took Mira from where she was standing and then, they continued with the game, took a long time as Maddie envied who Justin had partnered up with.
So with her current partner, she tried her best to win but in the end, Justin and Mira won the game, with excitement in the air for the couple they had a smile on their faces.
Getting back to their seats, Maddie immediately sat with Justin.
In the game of truth and dare, a spinning instrument was placed at the center.
It moved around to different people who placed and after another, it ended up with Maddie and Mira.
"Truth or dare?" The team leader asked as Maddie who was supposed to answer the question was answered by Mira.
"Dare," Mira's face curled into a smile, Maddie was about to deny but since she said so, she went along with it, this was going to be fun.
"Maddie, I dare you to give me a slap on the face, do it like how you would normally do when you get annoyed and then you imagine it is me."
"What do you mean? A slap?"
"Oh, would you think of giving the cash instead?"
"Okay, I'll do it," Maddie said with gritted teeth.
Standing up front the log, she walked ahead to Mira and then raised her hand slapping her hard throwing her glasses away, and then the remaining added a sound effect to the shock of the slap.
Mira clenched her jaw as she raised her head and then she had a smile that reached her eyes, a wicked smile.
"Oh wow, that's such a daring dare, we should move to the next round," the leader said, Justin, couldn't help but fist his hand as he turned to take a look at Mira, her face had traces of the slap though she looked undisturbed.
When Mira caught Justin taking a look at her, she smiled. If only Maddie knew what she would have to pay for the slap.
The bottle was spun once again as it was slowly moved, and about to stop at another, just with the strength needed, a little wind was blown and then it landed in Justin's and Mira's direction.
Mira smirked, she was the one who was going to ask if it would be a truth or dare.
As it landed on her, Maddie pursed her lips in shock, and Mira took advantage of her torment, she turned to Maddie with a mischievous smile and then she turned to Justin.
"Which one do you want to choose, truth or dare?" Mira asked as Justin was about to answer when Maddie softly held his hand turning to her, she gave a glare asking him to say the truth.
Justin scoffed, and then, he turned to Mira.
"Take truth," he said coldly.
"Who do you love among us here, the most?" Mira questioned as the crowd gave a smooth 'oh' sound.
"Ma-" he couldn't complete his word when he heard Mira hiss in pain.
"Mira," he said out of concern as he turned to see Mira, he saw her try to hold her cheek in pain.
With the question being answered with Mira's name, the crowd couldn't get any less shock.
Justin stood from his seat walking over to Mira as he took measures looking at her cheek.
"Are you okay?"
"I don't know why but my cheek hurts."
"Why should you have asked her to slap you?" Justin asked dotingly.
The rest couldn't be any less in amazement than they are already seeing his caring boyfriend's attitude of Justin toward Mira.
"Are we going to have a new couple on the campus or what?" They spoke in jest and surprise.
"Did you see the way Justin attended to her?"
"I know right."
"Would it be wrong to call them the next couple?"
Maddie could hear the gossips which agitated her, there was no way Justin could be Mira's, she closed her knuckles hard clenching her teeth.
As she was about to stand up so she could get Justin, he had already gone along with Mira.
When he raised her head, she saw Mira walking away with Justin as Justin's arm was wrapped around her waist to support her and then, she placed her arms around his neck, inhaling his scent as he didn't react, she turned around and then her lips curled up into a wicked smile.
"I'm leaving," Maddie said straightforwardly with anger hidden behind her words and then she took her feet walking away.
It was almost midnight and still, Justin hadn't returned to his tent, Maddie waited for hers though still, after a long wait, Justin had not returned.
She stood up with a deep sigh and then she walked to see Justin if he was around the area but he wasn't there, getting to the surroundings she couldn't find him she was becoming angry because she didn't want Justin to be at the place she'd thought he'll be.
Though with no choice, she walked to Mira's tent and there, she was welcomed with an undesirable scene as she saw Justin hold Mira's cheek and then he leaned in.
"Justin!" She called as Justin stopped and then he turned to her with a cold-looking expression.
