I Don't Understand
Please Don't Spin The Bottle
Saturday, 6/27/09
It was nearly 2am, and My parents had just come home. Most everybody had left, and Robin was helping clean up. Dan said a few people were spending the night, so I grabbed all the leftover food, drinks, the laptop, and the Christmas lights, and dragged them downstairs. I got extra pillows and blankets, than went upstairs to Dan's room, where I assumed they all were. Sure enough, there they were, and I was greeted with a few unfamiliar faces. I walked up to one girl, she looked shy, but at home, if that makes any sense. "Hi! I'm Angelina! I think I'm going to your school this year?" She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'm Cerena, nice to meet you." We hugged and than... "Hi love!" I was tackled by the blond owner of a British accent. "I'm Perrie, you're Angelina, and you're my new best friend." Alrighty than. "Call me Daisy." And I was tackled again. "I'm Eleanor. Lou said you have puppies? Where are they?" Another British accent. I laughed to myself, and took the three new girls and well as Misty to my bedroom. I woke up Luna and Sunshine, and they all sat there on my bed, with soft exclamations of 'Awwwwe!' and 'they're so little!' I stood in front of the mirror and assessed myself. I brushed out my hair, and threw it up in a ponytail. Than I took off my shoes and jewelry, removed the dreaded makeup, and turned around. "Pajama party?" I was met with wild approval. They were all about my size, and I know Misty is, because I'm still wearing her dress. We all 'undid' our outfits, searched through my closet, and changed before going to get the boys. I changed into my track shorts that weirdly have back pockets, a daisy crop top, and my very favorite socks.
We were sitting in a circle on the floor in the basement. Clockwise it was Louis, Harry, Cerena, Misty, Niall, Perrie, Zayn, Damian, Eleanor, Liam, and Me. Just the most random order. Louis had a few bottles of beer, and I began to seriously wonder who he was taking it from. He opened a bottle and I prayed... Please don't spin the bottle... Than he blurted out "NEVER HAVE I EVER!" Everybody groaned, but I was almost relieved. Nobody outwardly protested, so Lou continued. I think few of the girls were probably not thrilled about alcohol, and I mean, Cerena was pretty young. "Never have I ever had a boyfriend." Perrie and I were the only ones who had a go, and than we high-fived. Beer. Is. Nasty. Harry; "Never have I ever been on a cheerleading squad." Myself, Misty, and Damian each drank. And I'm sure the surprised faces were directed at Dan. Harry whistled and high-fived me. Cerena; "Never have I ever been kissed." The only people who didn't drink were Cerena and Misty. So I guess Dan's been kissed.... Or he's lying. Misty; "Never have I ever had a guy tell me he's in love with me." I was literally the only one. How am I the only one. Well this is embarrassing... Niall; "Never have I ever fallen in love at first sight." But I heard him mutter "Until now..." And I wondered who he meant... allot of people drank, including me.
We had collectively drained four beers and I felt a slight buzz, mostly just because I hadn't ever had that much alcohol before. Dan had gone to bed. We were all playing Twister on my extra-large mat, and it was getting pretty physical. Misty was calling, it had been ten minutes, and still nobody had fallen. We were all tied up in knots, and I was surrounded on every side. "Left hand blue" Everybody shifted. Somebody's hand grabbed my butt and I squealed, almost slipping. "What can I say, you have a nice butt!" I tried not to laugh. "Eleanor!!!" That little rascal... "Left foot blue" Liam fell down. I don't blame him, though. Zayn was practically lying on top of him. He got up, and laughing, pushed Zayn over, who knocked over El, who was tangled up with Perrie. They all cracked up, and the remaining contestants spread out a bit. "Right foot red" I reached my foot over, and ended up tied up will Harry. "Hello, love" He's kind of adorable. "Left hand green" Oh geez. Um.... "Hi Lou" We both laughed. I reached over his back for a red dot, and almost fell on him. Somehow my arm ended up linked with Niall's. Tied up between Niall and Harry. How accurate. "Right foot Blue" That did it for me. I fell down, and accidentally pulled Niall with me. He laughed, got up, and extended a hand to pull me up. I thanked him, and ran over to the couch. I plopped down next to Perrie on El's lap, and we just talked for a while about the most random things.
Louis Won the Twister game, but only by two seconds. "Truth or Dare!" He yelled. I tried to sneak away. This game is not my friend. Perrie caught me and dragged me down next to her. Crap. This time we were sitting with the girls on one side of the ring, and the boys on the other. Zayn went first "Harry, truth or dare?" "Dare." "I dare you to dance with somebody blindfolded. You have to guess who it is." Wow I like that one, actually. Zayn grabbed a black handkerchief from his back pocket, and tied it around Harry's eyes and nose to he couldn't cheat. Than he looked around the circle. Louis wanted to go badly, it was pretty clear. But Zayn Grabbed somebody he had danced with before. Um... Me. I was kind of horrified, I hadn't even wanted to go. But I winked at El and Perrie, and walked over to Harry. I pretended he was the girl and held his waist to throw him off, and the boys tried not to laugh. I started doing a waltz step, which he obviously didn't know. I stepped on his toes, I held his hand as tightly as I could, and overall just acted like a guy. I was almost cracking up the entire time. Than after about a minute, I let go of his hand and used my hand on his shoulder to shove him backwards slightly. He stumbled and fell on his rear, and everybody cracked up. I ran back to my spot and put my head of Perrie's lap, making myself look like I'd been there a while. We winked at each other, and Zayn went to untie Harry's blindfold. "Your verdict?" He said. "Well, they felt like a girl, and danced like crap. So... Louis?" "Hey!!!" "You better put some ice on that burn." I think I died laughing. Zayn shook his head and patted Harry's shoulder. "It wasn't Lou, Mate." Now he just looked bewildered. I stood up. "It was me." "Yeah, very Funny, Angelina." This time we all died laughing. Whatever, Harry. We eventually recovered. Harry's turn. "Erm... Perrie. Truth or Dare." "Dare" You know... Nobody's going to pick truth. "Go to the fridge, pick an item of food, and kiss it passionately for 90 seconds." Allllllrighty than. I took Perrie upstairs to the fridge, and she pulled out... a big wedge of chocolate mousse cake. Dangit I wanted that. We went back downstairs and everybody giggled at her food choice. Harry pulled out his phone, going for the stopwatch feature. "And... Go!" There was soon cake covering Perrie's entire face. But 90 seconds later there was no cake left on her plate. At all. Wow. She like, inhaled it. "You know, I wanted that cake." Perrie's turn. she took my last comment to heart. "Angelina. I dare you to lick the frosting off my face." Awh heck naw. "What if I wasn't going to pick dare?" "Nobody picks truth. Either clean my face or down a beer." "Lou! Pass me a beer." I repeat. Beer. Is. Nasty. I popped the lid and took a small sip. But see, my whole life I had been able to chug liquids at an astounding rate, I don't know about carbonated, and I don't know about alcoholic, repulsive mixtures, but we'll see. "Bottoms up?" and than I poured it into my mouth, opening my throat so it just slid smoothly right down. 30 seconds later, the bottom of the beer was literally up, and the entire room was speechless. That includes me. Uhm, "No gag reflex, I guess? And no sick jokes either!" The boys all chuckled a bit, than I high-fived everybody. My turn. Hmmmm... Do I go for a guy? Oh no. This one's for Eleanor. "El, I dare you to start everything you say until you go home with 'All hail Queen Daisy the Glorious'" And I winked at her. But she was looking for revenge... "All hail Queen Daisy the Glorious. Niall. I dare you to stand in front of Angelina and put both your hands into her back pockets for 15 minutes." What the heck... "Do I get any say in this?" "All hail Queen Daisy the glorious. No, not after what you dared me, you don't." Still not fair. Niall walked over to me, he was so shy. He reached around behind me and put his hands in my back pockets. The boys whistled. I winked at Niall and put my hands in his back pockets. Everybody roared. Now, when I say 'everybody' I mean everybody except Harry. he was sulking. What's his problem... Eleanor set a timer for 15 minutes. Niall's turn. "Liam! I dare you to update your Facebook status to 'Looking to hire a professional matchmaker.'" I chuckled. Liam was suddenly very grumpy.
It had been half an hour, Niall was free, and I was almost sorry. They were still going with truth or dare, but was feeling tipsy from all the beer. I sat down on the couch and Harry sat down next to me. Than I plopped my head down into his lap and looked up at him "What's up? Oh yeah, you are..." I giggled. He chuckled back at me. "Somebody's a little tipsy, yeah?" He got up and I pouted. He went over to the leftover food and drinks. He brought me a bottle of water and a sandwich. I quickly downed the water and eyed the sandwich... I guess I was hungry, too. So I ate it, and than grabbed a handful of pretzels and a lump of the cheese ball. Food tasted so good. But I just really... really had to use the bathroom. Whatever. I went to use the restroom, and when I came back everybody was sitting on the couch watching 'Finding Nemo'. I plopped my tipsy self down on Harry's lap, and put my head on Niall's lap. Before you knew it, I was fast asleep.
