Chereads / Who Will Fall First? / Chapter 20 - 20

Chapter 20 - 20

I placed my phone face-up on the table beside me, and sat down, crossing my legs over each other. "Shelby! You haven't had a turn yet!" Elizabeth commented, smiling. I cut her a glare that clearly said, I will kill you, asshole. Then, one of the girls turned to me. She had brown hair pulled up in a bun, dark skin, and stunning, amber eyes. She wore a purple sweater that was too big for her, and some gray sweatpants. "Its nice to meet you, Shelby. I'm Amina. Truth or dare?" I sighed, and thought for a minute, then said, "Dare." I cut a small death glance toward my phone, knowing Levi would think I'm glaring, seriously hoping he'd continue to keep that mouth of his shut. "Hmm. I dare you..." Amina needed to think for a moment. Unfortunately, someone else spoke up. "I dare you to start a fake relationship with someone!" I silently cursed under my breath. It was Elizabeth. "No fair, I was supposed to say something!" Amina playfully whined, smirking. "But that's actually a good dare." I crossed my arms over my chest. "F-fine..." I muttered softly, and that's when Levi started talking. "Shelby, you should totally take the dare, and fake date Connor! You know you like-" I almost slammed the hang up button, but tapped it instead, and tried not to look flustered. Because I defiently wasn't. I wasn't in love with Connor. I didn't like like him. And I had told him. But I hadn't told anyone else. Not even Elizabeth. Slowly, the whole class started to agree, and before I could explode, I walked out into the chilly, rainy night, needing a minute alone. I rested my elbows on the railing, and held my head in my hands, my eyes closed. Listening to the rain as it hit the ground, the puddles, the roof. I tried not to think about myself relaxing at Connors touch in the nurses office. Or how, after he'd fallen asleep, I had still let him hold my hand.
