🔝He is Adrian

~Linda's P.O.V~

"Hey. Girls, take a look at this." Alexa said from the corner of the room. Some girls quickly moved there but some checking other things out just like me didn't.

"Oh, this is so nice."

"OMG, I love this."

"Thanks, I bought it when I went to Dubai."

Hmm, that must definitely be nice.

All girls are now in Alexa's room and all boys in Dylan's room. That is the suggestion Carey brought to oppose Alisha's. They really are too funny, they fight all the time. Dylan is Alex's brother, he's older but still  nice. I haven't talked to him yet but with the kind of face and smile he gives, he can't be that bad. Their parents are on a trip so we have the whole house to ourselves.

We are to be in this room till the pizza gets delivered. Adrian is hungry so we ordered pizza. Alex is showing us all different kind of stuff and its kinda fun checking your friend's room.

Right now I'm checking all the list she made for this birthday. She is so happy and that is because she is eighteen already. I seriously must say, I'm jealous. Most people here are eighteen but I'm not. I will be very soon.

Can't wait.

She made a very nice list.

"Guys, pizza is here." A male's voice called downstairs.  We moved to the sitting room. Sitting on the chairs set round a single table, we all picked and started eating the pizza. I love stuffing it into mouth so I'm doing that right now.

The room has been decorated really nicely, I love it. Carey then sat beside me drawing in his seat. Now his leg is slightly touching mine. "Hi"

"Hi." I said giving a smile.

"Hey, guys. Let's play a game." A boy suggested.

"Hmm, Hunter. Which game do you want us to play?" Alisha asked dramatically.

"Truth or dare, you know its my best." Hunter answered grinningly.

"No, let's play a video game." Another boy objected raising his hand.

"Will, you are boring. Twenty one dares is okay." A very beautiful lady spoke from the hallway. Alexa is really social, she has many friends and all her friends are nice and jovial.

"Okay, guys, chill. Let the celebrant decide. Alex, what do you think?" Alisha asked turning to Alexa.

"I would love to go with my boyfriend, I also love truth or dare. I'm not interested in playing video games. I don't like it." Alex declared then kissed Hunter on his cheeks. So Hunter is her boyfriend. I must say, they look compatible.

"So, we are playing truth or dare." Alisha announced raising her voice so people in the hallway could hear what she is saying.

"Yay!" Was all I heard. All guests in the hallway are girls, the voices coming from them are girls'.

"So, girls. Move here and take a seat. The game is about to start." The girls and some other boys then came in and took their seats.

Alisha placed the bottle on the table and brought out a book.
"Let's start, we are following the normal rules I know everyone here will understand. But I will state them again." She said and then started stating the rules. The rules are simple and I'm sure its okay  by me. You do anything for the person asking you or daring you if you refuse to answer a question. I looked round to see Allison, she's with Adrian and I'm very sure she's happy because that sad face is not what I see now. "Max, spin the bottle" Max spined the bottle and after seconds, it pointed to the girl that suggested twenty one dares the other time.

"Bella, you are the first to be asked, you ready?" Alisha asked.

"Yeah, truth." She replied.

"Oohkay, who on this table have you ever secretly crushed on." Bella hesitated. That sounds ..... Oh I don't even know what to say. I will like to know her crush, it looks like she is shy to say who the guy is .

For the next three minutes, there was absolute silence. Everyone suspected that she has a crush but I guess no one knows his name. Mia who was sitting next to her cleared her throat and raised her eyebrows at her.

"Er, well.... Em.... Its Will." She stuttered. Will looked surprised. Hmm, I must say. I love this party. Its a slumber party but its still very nice.

"Finally, she cet the cat out of the bag." Adrian said aloud.

"Let's continue."

The can spined, this time, it was Will to ask Adrian.

"Dare." Adrian stated.

"Aaadrian." Will called.

"Willliiams." Adrian also called in the same way he called him.

"Adrian, I dare you to say your feelings to any girl you truly admire." Adrian looked stunned, he wasn't expecting that. I know. It took him minutes to pick the courage to speak.

I overhead Will earlier today saying Adrian got a new crush but has not gotten the opportunity to say it to her. He finally stood on his feet and glared at Will like he was saying 'I will deal with you'.

"I'm not doing that, what is the penalty." Adrian announced. Everyone was surprised.

"Hmm, the girl must really be classy, I seriously don't expect Adrian to find this dare difficult." A girl sitting beside Alisha said.

"Yeah, I agree with you."

"Adrian, just do it." Will spoke.

"Tell me, dude."

"Okay, you go into the cold shower and stay there for five minutes. Alisha, please set the timer." Aww, this is not good. So, Adrian has to do this. I need to know this girl.

"Okay." Adrian stated and shook his head as if he is pitying the chuckling Will he was glaring at. He went to the bathroom with Will to do what he was asked to.
I hope they don't kill themselves.

The bottle was already spined and I didn't notice. I was brought back by the call of my name.

"Lind, its your turn to answer the question." Alexa said and I nodded. "Which of the guys here do you really trust and do you find him cute." My mind spined back to when I newly got to school.

"Oh, its Carey and yeah I find him cute." I answered and turned to look at Carey smiling beside me, his cheek was already red. Wow, I made him blush. He turned to me and I gave him a smile then turn back.

"Carey." Alisha nodded and winked. She was doing that to her twin brother.

The bottle spined again and right now its time for Alisha to ask Carey a question. She cleared her throat smiling maniacally at Carey.

"What is your most embarrassing secret?" Alisha quickly asked trying not to laugh.

"Wait, I never picked truth." Carey declared glaring at Alisha like he was willing to strangle her right now.

"Adrian and Will, you can come back. Its already five minutes." Mia called for the two to come join us again drawing the attention of everyone on the table.

"Alright, Carey, I dare you to tell everyone here your biggest secret." Alisha said bringing everyone back to the table.

"Hmm." Carey groaned in frustration. He looks infuriated. He hesitated for a minute but later spoke after noticing everyone wants to know the secret. "The secret is that my - my third name is - it is Leslie." He finally revealed.

"Oh My God." I said unintentionally aloud. Its really embarrassing, his second name is Leslie, a girls name. I couldn't stop laughing, its really funny. I wasn't the only one laughing, others were too especially Alisha. She did that intentionally to annoy him.

"Its not funny." Carey huffed.

"What is not funny?" Will asked drawing out his chair so he could sit on it. Adrian's hair looked wet, I will make sure I know who his crush is.

"Carey's third name is - is Leslie." Bella said while laughing. Will bursted into laughter and also did Adrian.

"Man, who named you that?" Adrian asked rhetorically. Everyone is mocking Carey now and I feel so sorry for him.

"Sorry." I stated sitting properly then he smiled like he was saying 'its nothing'.

"Aww." A girl sitting beside Carey  cooed and bursted into laughter again.

"Can we continue?" Carey shouted angrily.

"No, I think we should have a dance." Rex suggested. The guy bearing name of a cat. This is the first time I'm hearing his voice in this party. He and his friend have been quiet for long.

"Yeah", " yes", "yay". Everyone agreed, I also wanna dance.

"Yep, its a great idea  but I think we should have a last spin, please." Mia suggested and everyone agreed to it. A smile appeared on her face, perhaps she is doing something.

Max spined the bottle and it pointed to Hunter who has been chatting with Alex for long. Max is to ask him the question.

"Hunter, its your turn."

"Oh." That's all hunter said, grinning. 

"Its a good one. You will love it." Max said and Hunter nodded. "Let's end this game with a kiss to the celebrant." Max said in a dramatic way. A smile appeared on both Hunter and Alex's faces.

"Wow."

"That will be great."

"Please, it should not be too long. You can get a room." Bella joked earning Alexa's chuckle.

Hunter smiled and pressed his lips against Alex's. The kiss gradually becomes very deep that nearly everyone left the table for them. But I, as one of those who would love to see the end of this stayed.  The later pulled apart smiling. I was checking the time for them. They kissed for five minutes, fifty - two seconds.

"I thought you were going to break the current world record for the longest kiss." I joked shaking my head making them chuckle. I love their relationship, its cute.

I moved to where they were dancing. Almost everyone were already there and the celebrant is coming now. She and her boyfriend got into the middle and started dancing. Collins was playing the songs and I must say, his choices were so good. I love the songs.

I looked around to find Allison. I turned around and then collided with a body in front of me. I looked up to see who it was.

"Sorry." Carey stated and I nodded. "Will you like to dance with me?" He asked giving a cute puppy face.

"Um .. Sure." I stated still looking around. "Please, do you perchance know where Alison is."

"There." He pointed to a person at my back. I turned around to see where she was. She was dancing with Adrian. I thought she didn't like him at first. Well, she will have her reasons, all I want is her happiness.

"Shall we?" Carey asked and I tilted my head in agreement. He drew me closer and I gasped. He gave me an apologetic look and stepped a little backward. I've never been this close to a boy in my life.

I was afraid.

I wasn't comfortable.

I couldn't concentrate.

When it was becoming unbearable, I quickly moved away from him saying 'excuse me' . He looked astounded and I'm sorry for doing that.  It's just that my mind wasn't helping. One part of me wanted to be away but the other part really wants to be there, dancing with him.

I went away from the dancing floor and grabbed a seat to sit on. I could feel a figure behind me and then I saw Carey.

"Are you okay?" He asked with concern showing in his voice. I didn't reply, I didn't expect him to come after me. He is a friend, but the friendship is not that start, I thought he would go for another girl.

"Were you feeling uncomfortable?" He asked again and I nodded. "I sorry"

"No, you don't need to be, I should. I'm sorry. Its just that I don't like being too close to boys." I confessed.

"Its okay, I understand. We can do something else, right?" He asked and I nodded. I felt happy again, I like the way he understood everything. Maybe he is not a very bad boy that I always thought he was.

"Like?"

"Chatting, knowing more about each other and so on. Its to keep us busy and to have fun." He winked beautifully at me and he got a smile.

We chatted for long, its really fun being with him. We were later disrupted by our friends calling us for sleep. Carey, Adrian, Alison and me decided not to go but others went to sleep. Some were already drunk. I didn't want to go to sleep because I don't want Alison to be alone with Adrian. I don't know him so I don't trust him.

We watched A quiet place. I didn't  really watch the movie. I was already feeling sleepy so I told Carey why I was still there and he said he trusts Adrian.

I could notice Alison's mood lightened up a little and she enjoyed Adrian's company. I drifted to sleep some minutes later. I wanted to stand up but I couldn't, my eyes were so heavy so I slept on the couch with the Carey.
