Game starts

"Is he?" I frowned slightly as I heard Mark's words ,what does he mean by the question is he?

"Well you will get to know in few days" Isaac replied nonchalantly.

"How about we explore this place?" Mark asked " I saw an abandoned house near that place" Mark said pointing to the north.

"If its not a creepy house, then I can explore" I responded, I hated anything creepy. Like an abandoned house , a doll , shadows etc. , since I won't be the only one going I have nothing to fear.

"Should we explore the place?" Victor asked us , his mouth curling into a smile.

"Gosh!, stop smiling like a manic" Julie said

"Ha-ha, see my sister already confirmed you to be a manic" Julian said laughing.

"Why are you smiling like some serial killer?" Isaac asked

"No, I'm just happy that we get to explore abandoned houses" victor responded.

I sighed inwardly ,"Hey I think it's time we checked out the house" I said , I was growing tired of staying in the same position for some time.

"Yes babe, I'm sorry" Victor said quickly coming to my side and kissed me on the cheek.

"Alright , lets go!" Julian yelled , and Mark lead the way , we started to move through the trees and after three minutes , we finally arrived at the front of a house.

Well except from the red skies and dark windows, the house looked normal, Mark opened the door of the house and entered like it is his house.

"Lets go" Isaac said, leading us into the house— The sitting room was cloaked in a thick layer of dust, a silent testament to neglect and abandonment. Every surface bore a ghostly sheen - the coffee table, that I could guess was once gleaming, now obscured in a haze of fine particles. The cushions on the couches were obscured under a veil of gray, their colors muted and indistinct. The sunlight, filtering through grimy windows, cast a pallid glow upon the room, illuminating motes of dust suspended in the air like ethereal confetti. The air itself seemed heavy with neglect, the room frozen in time.

We carefully entered the house, the sun is starting to set ,"get the flashlight" Isaac commanded James, few seconds later he was passed a flashlight.

"Don't worry there's electricity" Mark said, turning on the light like he already knew where the switch is , he cleared dusted the couches in the room and sat on one, "should we explore this night or next morning?" Mark asked.

"Since it's dark already , lets wait till tomorrow" victor said.

"Okay," Mark responded, we all found a spot in the room and settled down, Lighting flashed through the skies , and it started raining, the wind was heavy and that the roofs rattled.

"Is it supposed to rain?" Julian asked

Julie shook her head, "You dumbass moron , it's summer for Christ sake, how are you not expecting it to rain?" Julie responded.

"Pffts" we all burst into laughter when Julian tried to make his expression look like he's hurt.

"But isn't the rain sudden?" Nora asked, I could feel her shivering a little, 'she's starting to get cold' a smile tugged on my lips, "Hey Nora , why don't you and Isaac arrange one of the rooms in the house to pass the night, you know share warmth with each other" I said, I could see Nora face turn red.

"Shut up" Nora screamed at me before covering her face with her hands.

"How about we play a game to pass time?" Mark suggested.

"Uh?" I asked , I was taken aback by his suggestion, maybe he's trying to fit into our group, I thought about a game for a while but can't find any.

'Something is not right , he acts as if he's the owner of the house, Is he trying to make friends?'

"How about Settlers of CATAN, Ticket to Ride, or Codenames?" Julian asked.

I facepalmed , "The games you mention needs board" I said to him.

"What about Poker, Uno, Exploding Kittens, or traditional card games like Hearts or Spades" Julian asked.

"Jeez, he's hopeless" I mumbled.

"Those games are card games " Victor replied

we all kept quite for a while , thinking about a game to pass time.

"How about truth or dare?" Mark suggested

We paused for a second.

Truth or dare game doesn't need board or cards to play it, its perfect for the evening, a smile formed on my face , as I already thought of daring Nora to make out with Isaac.

'He-he' A evil smile formed on my face.

"Yeah it's perfect!" Isaac yelled

"Yeah, I also think it's good" Victor added

"Yeah the rules is if you refuse to do the dare, you will have to skip class for two months, and if you tell a lie you will also face the same punishment" Isaac said.

I looked at everyone in the room, the only one not really excited is Mark, 'isn't he the one who suggested the game?' I didn't know why he was quiet, maybe he thinks we will not allow him to participate.

"Who should we start from?" Issac said looking around the room then his eyes stopped on James a evil smile tugged on his lips.

"James truth or dare" Isaac asked, James didn't reply for some time but eventually replied "Dare" Isaac smiled "I dare you to walk around naked!".

"pffts"

"Ha-ha-ha"

We all started laughing, James however emotionless as ever, stripped off his clothes and walked around the room.

"Ha-ha-ha" we all laughed as we watch his naked body, well his surprisingly toned. Bruise marks ran across his body like a tattoo. None of us felt pity for him.

After that James returned to his formal position and put on his clothes, up next is victor turn, Victor stood up and turned to me a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Olivia , Truth or dare?"

I shrugged , the worse he could ask for is for us to make out.

"Dare" I responded with a smile.

"I dare you to kiss me" Victor said with a smile.

I shrugged, moving closer to him , i kissed him in his lips, our tongue intertwined with eachother.

"Erm" , we broke our kiss when Issac made the erm sound.

Next up is me, I looked around the room, looking for who to choose , my gaze landed on Mark.

If there's anything , I don't fully trust mark , and why he approached us is still unclear to me. I felt like there's another motive in play.

"Mark, truth or dare?" I asked looking straight at mark.
