She giggled as he peeled her hands off of himself. As he screamed she jumped off his back, mostly because she was startled but she needed a real hug from him. Going a year without seeing the one you call a brother is hard, they talked every day through messaging, but that was nothing compared to the time we actually had together. She wrapped her small arms around him, squeezing him while he lifted her off the ground. As soon as he put her down she began to study his face, before beginning to chuckle. “A couple days ago” She shrugged and put her hands on her hips. “How was I supposed to know you were here here, I thought you were busy being the,” she paused before jazz hands, “super cool awesome band rockstar Riker” she teased. “In all seriousness, I missed you” She reached up, messing with his hair.

“It is not” She playfully shoved him. “I take pride in my roots,” She flicked her hair backwards, eyeing the beard growing on his face. “Avoir un poil dans la main! Gosh it looks like you haven’t shaved in months. Do I need to buy you a razor again? Come on, that was last years Christmas present” She joked. It was a gag gift almost every year, she made fun of him for not shaving when they first met and ever since then it has been an ongoing joke.

“So come on tell me what you’ve been up to here. I’m not really sure why mother has insisted on moving here, especially enrolling me to be in ehm… Blue Bloods? Whatever that is.” She just looked at him confused. “Two days later I’ve come camping. I’m quite lost a le moment”

@benitz786 im literally dying everything i read that she says i just imagine it in this cute frickin french accent

“How was I supposed to know you were here here, I thought you were busy being the… super cool awesome band rockstar Riker”

Genuine laughter escaped his lips as he looked down at the girl with his bright blue eyes full of wonder. He missed her - honestly. Riker missed Ella too - but that was a different story - once again, something that simply needed to stay in the past. “Excuse me - I still am doing the… how did you call it, super amazing fantastic hot sexy cool awesome band rockstar Riker Taylor,” the man joked, “Just on a month-long hiatus while Jordan over there finalizes his highschool degree,” Riker added, pointing out his friend Jordan standing within his own group.

Though he feigned his happy go lucky attitude with a serious expression as she added that she took pride in her roots, making a concerned expression as he picked a random piece of hair off her head. “mmhhmmm I’d reconsider that, Maddy Beaumont is not getting any younger,” Riker joked, expecting to get slapped on the head for that one. If there was one thing you didn’t do - it was making fun of a model’s appearance. And gasp tell her she is getting white hair. Though, as usual, she turned it back on him and his fabulous beard he was growing out. “No no, Trust me, I still have the razor you bought me last time tucked away in the same packaging because it’s never been opened,” he smiled, “Say it with me - PS5, P S 5” he smiled - hinting at what he was hoping for from her. “Maddyyyyy you know I’m not good at french - but if you’re calling me a beautiful rockstar, keep the french compliments coming,” he revealed, nudging her slightly. He knew she was probably saying the opposite - but there’s where the not knowing french well came in handy. Though it was always fun when Maddy and Ella talked in french in front of him and he attempted to add to the conversation as he knew what they were saying. Suffice to say - he had no idea and they weren’t ones to clarify.

Though once the conversation moved on to why he was there, Riker shrugged ever so slightly - “You know me Maddy. I love to try new things and public… or I guess a private elite public school is something I never gave a chance and had to give it a shot. Though my friends did warn me this school is supposedly cutthroat. I’ve just been waiting for my Janis and Damian to come and tell me where I should sit for lunch - sadly that hasn’t happened yet. How the heck am I supposed to know where the plastics, and the actual human beings, and cool asians sit?” Riker sighed, naming what he could recall from that movie Mean Girls Maddy and Ella had made him watch. “You know - I have to say… I don’t think I can see you surviving camping Maddy,” he teased once more, the start of a smirk playing upon his “bearded” lips as she called it.

“Just on a month-long hiatus while Jordan over there finalizes his highschool degree,”
She noded along, finishing highschool was important, but hey follow your dreams. “Ahh, well maybe you could start a school band. Maybe you’ll even get some fans while you’re at it” She winks and nudges him a little. She would hope by this point he was over Ella, but whomever dated him, Maddy needed to make sure it wasn’t some stuck up girl who’s only in it for the top of the ‘social ladder’ or whatever they call it. She quickly glanced over to Jordan, a smile creeping upon her lips, another way to annoy him. “Oh so he’s the hottie you tell me about every day. No wonder your band mates with him”

Her jaw dropped open, obviously out of exaggeration. “Now now, you’ll be the one wiping my bum so I wouldn’t tease too much” She raised her brow. Though it would bother her if anyone else was commenting on how she looked, for Riker to do it, it didn’t mean much. It was the kind of friendship that you could make as many joke as possible, but nobody would be offended. “See this is why I don’t do nice things for you anymore” She shook her head. “I buy you these things so you have a shot at just maybee catching someones attention,” she pushed her lips together to stop herself from laughing “Shave it off, shave it off” She chanted over him, though taking note that he was chanting for a PS5. Maddy knew he was a video games junkie, but he kind of sucked every time they played. She beat him at several games, continuing to hold the title of video game champion. She playfully rolled her eyes. “Oh now I have to teach you French too? Mon dieu, you and I both know how well that went the last time” She scoffed “Oh you wish it meant so. Not only does it mean your lazy but extremelyyy lazy” She says, revealing what the simple phrase exactly meant. Having him not be able to speak French was very fun sometimes, and quite easy to annoy him, or even getting the chance to make fun of him.

She started laughing. “See you just have to really look. Theres always the group of girls who pick on you, about everything. And then theres the group that doesn’t say anything at sits there in silence. And thennn…” using her hand to gesture to a loud group nearby “the group that laughs about everything and constantly makes jokes” She shrugged. It wasn’t hard to figure people out, the scary thing being is that anyone can stab you in the back. “Glad you remember that movie though. I was worried I would have to force you to watch it again.” She tapped her foot against the grassy terrain beneath her, digging her heel into the dirt and twisting it back and forth. “Camping is fun, and come on. I’m not that girl. I’ve been on several camping trips but that was when I was younger so…” as she realized she was rambling on trying to prove him wrong she lightly punched his chest. “Watch me” She followed suit, giving him a smirk back.

Malachi Azure

Malachi gave a slight laugh at her joking. It’s true that she probably wouldn’t need it while they were camping, but he wouldn’t give her back her phone without making sure it was charged. “Hey, its better to have it at full power and not need it, than to need it for some reason and not have it usable.” He just shook his head then smirked at her comment about the sex tips. “Never said I didn’t listen. I just don’t need to know the intimate details involving my younger siblings’ sex lives.” If it were anyone but his siblings, Malachi honestly would be fine hearing it, but with his siblings involved, he’d prefer to not know any further details. Malachi watched as Jessica’s attention moved to a girl with Dorian DeLoughrey for just a moment before she decided to walk off somewhere to explore. He was technically supposed to go over to join his group, but instead he decided to walk with her. “I think they’ll be alright without me for a while.”

@benitz786

[benitz786]

He nodded slightly at the girl’s explanation of how she’d ask Dorian about it if it came up in conversation, a slight frown placed on his lips. Despite that - he didn’t have a say in what she did with her life. Well… in retrospect… Jordan barely knew her. However, advice was advice; whether she took it or not, that was her choice and he respected that. “Up to you,” he smiled, meeting her thank you with a grin. “But I’m telling you, from experience being one of the male species, we’re idiots 94% of the time” he added.

Though his smile faltered as she asked about… or at least tried to ask about what happened - indicated by her pointed look. Perhaps part of him didn’t want to admit his idiocracy - perhaps part of him was still ashamed. But after a slight sigh and her mumbling that he didn’t have to - he did. She deserved that much after helping him. “The guy… I punched. He just… said something really foul about someone I care about and… as much as I regret it, I let my frustration take over and… I gues you know the rest?,” Jordan revealed. They say telling a stranger your story was always easier than someone you cared about - and at the moment, that thought had never felt more true than at this moment. “There’s… a lot more to that story but that’s the short version at least. I think the long version would at least require a long lunch,” he joked.

After a long discussion about what the answer would be, Dorian ended up turning in the quiz leaving the whole group to listen to the ones they got wrong and scatter. It gave Jordan enough of a chance to approach Sadie again, his hand scratching the back of his neck as a goofy smile met his lips. “Hey I just wanted to thank you again. I really appreciate your help and…” though Jordan didn’t really get time to finish when they all heard Elodie slap her brother - causing him to stop in his tracks and turn towards his friend with surprise in his eyes.

@novella

@astxrism - Dori and Elo mentioned

[benitz786]

Kai was interesting - to say the least. Practical, seemingly with his head screwed on right - the complete opposite of her. While he made some Steve Jobs worthy statement about keeping her phone charged, she was simply the type to leave it in a random location and never be able to find it again or just forget about it. Perhaps it was her love of living in the moment, leaving the digital world behind whereas her cousin was the opposite. Though despite this, she thanked Kai for the phone - whether she’d use it or not. Though her smile was soon replaced by a slight chuckle when he revealed that he had indeed listened to her sex advice to his brother. “Fine fine, understandable - though I will definitely be talking sex tips to my siblings when they’re old enough. Might as well teach them the right way if they’re going to do it, besides the basic - don’t have sex without a condom talk,” Jess added. It was always upsetting to her that as elite of a school that her siblings went to, sex-education was still not good in their school. Likely because it was a Christian school, but nevertheless, who was the school kidding when they assumed the kids would all be practicing abstinence. “So tell me,” She smiled mischievously at Kai, “Since you were listening, any comments on my advice. I’m always one keep making it better,” she joked - though for some reason, she doubted Kai knew more about pleasuring the female body than her. Though, who knew.

As she started walking towards the clearing where there was a small makeshift path - Jess smiled looking around the trees. It was odd how a place can be so familiar… and not at the exact same time. It had been approximately 5 years since she had last been here and as good as her memory was - just like people, places change. And this one did quite a bit. The greenery had overgrown, flowers in places they had never been before - hell, even trees. But Jessica had walked this path before - and remembered it well. Though she perked back up hearing a familiar voice mutter that he believed his group would be fine without him for a little while. With a raised eyebrow, she turned towards him. “I promise I won’t be eaten by bears,” she joked, “Well actually, I probably can’t promise that - but hey, luck has always been on my side - or how else could I have walked around New York City from 1 in the morning to 5 and stayed mostly alive,” she added - referring to their dm conversation a few days ago. Though he didn’t seem to budge and so she continued walking, down until they were far enough away from the group that they could no longer even hear anyone. All around them were large trees, rocks - in a word; nature. The sounds of birds and crickets exemplified that thought as they walked in silence for a few minutes as she caught her bearings.

“Okay Kai - we may as well talk while we’re walking together on what may be your last day on earth,” she joked, “Alright how about this - I’m going to do a speed round of would you rather while we walk,” she stated, jumping over a fallen branch. Jessica knew where she was headed - or at least, she knew where she wanted to go. After all, this place wasn’t known as the falls for no reason - but over the years as a child - she had found a hidden waterfall, one that only locals knew about. Though… it was a little off the beaten path. Guess it just depended on how much Kai trusted to follow her into the woods.

“Alright, speed round Jason… would you rather… be 11 feet tall or 1 foot tall? would you rather die in 20 years with no regrets or die in 100 years with a lot of regrets? Would you rather… have a third nipple or an extra toe? Would you rather be in a loveless marriage or a sexless marriage?” Jessica asked quickly, speaking the first things that came to her mind. Though it was clear as they walked deeper into the woods, her questions turned from innocent into… well something less innocent. What could she say? She was curious. “Alright, hmm would you rather be on top or on the bottom? Would you rather walk in on your parents having sex or have your parents walk in on you having sex? And…would you rather be handcuffed or blindfolded?” she questioned - taking a breath while she finally let him answer.

@Littlefeets - Should have just chosen to stay back man - mistakes were made

“Ahh, well maybe you could start a school band. Maybe you’ll even get some fans while you’re at it,”

“You are so mean Maddy - no wonder I had to run away from you until you brought my ego so low that it could never recover,” he joked immediately. “Trust me, I have zero plans of making a band with you, we both know singing is not your best talent. I think you deafened that old french guy during karaoke that one night,” he smiled with a wink. That was, indeed, a fun night. He could recall it like it was yesterday - the two painting the streets of France red as they bar hopped - including one very unfortunate incident at one bar with the singing. “Hollaback girl” should really only be sung by Gwen Stefani - that was a lesson both of them had learned. Though he couldn’t help the rolling of his eyes when Maddy called Jordan hot - as the reason for him being bandmates with him. “Hey hey now - don’t go hitting on the lead singer,” he laughed. Though it was true - he couldn’t see his two close friends together - it was like seeing two siblings get together and that idea was just… wrong.

His smile grew as the teasing continued, explaining once again how he needed to “shave” his beard off - which, in retrospect, she wasn’t wrong. He did need to - but for the simple reason that she was there, he would hold off for just a bit longer to annoy her. Though wiggling his eyebrows as she talked about teaching him french. “Look, I just get distracted okay,” he muttered - recalling the last time she was teaching him but he convinced her to go surfing with him instead. Oops. It was especially a fun game to see how long she could go to try and continue teaching him before he distracted her. “And a little laziness never hurt anyone - but let’s just go back to you talking in french so I can at least pretend you’re complimenting me for a little while,”

He nodded along, pretending to take notes as she talked about the groups around them. “Oh god no - next time, we watch fast and furious,” he smiled. In retrospect he didn’t mind Mean Girls at all - it was pretty damn funny and he related quite a bit to Kevin G. That rap - epic. But he wouldn’t give her that satisfaction - shaking his head as she told him she’d be fine. He knew she would - the two of them had gotten into more than one problem together, so he knew she wasn’t that girl as she called it. A smile when she told him to watch her. “I will, but don’t come to me when the snakes get you in the night,” he grinned. “Need help putting your tent up? or I can just watch while you do all the hard work until the very end where I touch something and claim all the credit,” he motioned, a soft smile spreading on his features. He loved this - talking to a girl he hadn’t in a long time. A girl that truly was a sister to him. God he missed her.

“I did no such thing. Your ego is too big to love anyways” she smiled, thinking about the girls she always rolled her eyes at whom obsessed over their band. “Hey!!” she shoved him lightly. “I am a great singer so I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. He’s the one that deafened us all with that god awful love song” She shook her head thinking about that night. They bar hopped, singing at every possible one they could only then to run and move to the next one. “But you know he’s hot” She whined knowing it only disgusted him to think about his friends getting together. Not like I wanted to anyways. “I’m just teasing, he’s not my type anyways” After what happened with her previous boyfriend she had never been in another relationship. Maybe it was because she didn’t want to be betrayed again or just due to the fact she felt as if she didn’t deserve it.

“Oh ‘distracted,’” she rolled her eyes making quotation marks with her fingers. “More like you distract me, you know I’m an impatient person so youuu,” she shoved her finger into his chest “always come up with a plan to distract me and do something… ahh what do you call it… plus amusant.” She chuckled, knowing it could be more fun to speak French around him especially when she could make fun of him while he thought it was a ‘compliment’. “Fine maybe I will,” sticking her tongue out at him and blowing a raspberry.

She automatically groaned, “nooooooo I am never watching that, especially after you made me watch that one movie. It was awful,” she frowned. “Oh oh I know, Legally Blonde is next” She joked knowing he would hate that one just as equally. Girls movies were really not her forte, but she put up with them when it came to her older sisters. Sure everyone loved the iconic movies but horror movies, oh those were the best ones. The thrill was indescribable, especially when everyone else clung to you out of fear. “I thought I told you I liked snakes, damn it would be such a shame to have one in your bed,” she wiggled her eyebrows obviously joking. “Oh trust me I got this” she flexed her arms showing the ‘muscles’ but in reality there wasn’t much there. Most of her strength was in her legs and core, working out came in handy sometimes. “Oh heck you don’t. Stay awayyy from my tent” a small huff came out of her mouth while crossing her arms across her body. “If my tent falls I’m blaming it on you, and then you can do it” she smiled, knowing heck he wouldn’t help. It was still fun to tease him about it.

“I really missed you, you know? It gets lonely without my favourite person” she frowned. “And now you’re stuck with me for a while” the frown slowly disappeared off her face as a big smile took over.

The whole time he had to lie to his sister’s face he did feel bad, but it was better to make her think her friend was the one who was ready to disappoint her, not her own brother. Luckily he was good at that, not that he’s ever done that to her but he knew what to say and do to get himself out of trouble. Most of the time. So as soon as he sent in the questions and got the results, he made sure Elodie was the first one to leave the group so he could be sure she didn’t ask more questions or talk about Kara. That’s when he separated from the group, trying to stay as positive as possible and not seem like he was worried about something. But he was. He knew she’d find out sooner or later and he just hoped it wouldn’t be soon. He didn’t know what he would say to her… there wasn’t much he could say when he lied.

Dorian also didn’t have time to think about that because he soon heard Elodie calling out his name. Maybe she just wanted something? He couldn’t tell how she was feeling just from hearing her voice but he soon found out when he turned to face her and she slapped him. That was the first time she’d done that, not only to him so to say he was shocked wouldn’t be wrong. He thought she wouldn’t say anything to him, he thought she would just be sad and then she’d get over it but he was wrong. So he just stood there, looking at her, speechless. He wanted to say something but he didn’t know what. This was one of the rare moments when he didn’t know what to say because he was in shock. He was also proud of her, in a way… she slapped him in front of all these people and she’d never do that. If it was someone else and not him he’d be the first one to tell her “good job”. And if it wasn’t her, he would start an argument. He didn’t want that because he could see she was hurt, not mad.

No sorry?” Once again he didn’t say anything, he just stared at her. This was not the best place for this conversation, all eyes were on them and he could even see some students were recording the incident so for Elodie’s good he simply turned around and walked away from her, leaving her standing there alone.

Both approachable?

Theo watched as Elodie confronted Dorian, it was sad to see they had to get to that situation, but at the same time seeing her slap him and stand up for herself made him kind of proud. For what he knew Elodie, she wasn’t one for confrontation, but there she goes, standing up to her own brother when she was hurt by him.

A few moments later, Dorian walked off and left Elodie standing there on her own watching him go. Theo took that moment to go back and check on her, walking up to her ”Are you okay?” he asked softly

@astxrism - Elodie

[novella]

“I’m sorry, for… asking,” Sadie knew that she had to say again after he reluctantly answered, explaining to her how Jordan had done it in response to a comment Mikel had made about someone he cared about. Sadie tried to choose her words carefully, as it was a very recent thing, and had clearly effected Jordan quite badly. “That’s not- you shouldn’t be… ashamed about that,” She said, “I know that it’s probably… hard to believe, and… what do I know, right? But it was out of care for other people, and…” Sadie stopped herself, worrying that she may be saying the wrong thing. “I don’t know.”

As the first question seemed to cause a stir among the DeLoughrey twins, few people in their group started to break off, not wanting to be involved. That soon included Jordan, who turned to her, and Sadie unintentionally mirrored the smile that he was giving her while he started to thank her. “It’s-” Before she could even begin to compose an answer, everyone’s attention simultaneously moved back to Elodie and Dorian at the sound of a slap. Though she hadn’t been paying much notice to their conversation before, it was easy to tell who had been on the receiving end of the hit and was now walking away. After a moment of waiting for someone else, he probably preferred, to approach Dorian, she turned to Jordan. “I-I’m sorry, I’m going to…” Sadie started but knowing she didn’t need to finish as it was obvious what she was going to do, especially after what the two of them had spoken about prior.

“Dorian!” Sadie called as she tried to catch up to him. As soon as she had made her presence known, she realised how she didn’t actually know what she was going to say. He probably didn’t want to talk to her, in fact, maybe he didn’t even want to see her after prom. “Are you o-?” Then Sadie interrupted herself with a sigh. “Stupid question, sorry. Do you want to… talk about it? Not that it would have to be with me, no, you can… tell me to go or something.”

To have someone go after him when he walked away from Elodie wasn’t what he wanted or needed. Not even his friends that were probably already disappointed at him after what happened. But in a way he was hoping someone would come to check on him… It would’ve been nice to see someone care enough to go after him and not his sister.

Even if that was what he was hoping for, he got annoyed hearing a girl’s voice. He was still mad at himself for what he did, mad that Elodie found out and did what she did in front of everyone, but could he blame her? So turning to face the girl, that annoyed expression remained on his face even after seeing who it was. “You can go,” he mumbled, taking a step back, ready to walk away from her too, but he quickly stopped himself. From the very beginning Sadie was the girl he thought was genuinely good and for some, maybe selfish reasons, he wanted to stay on her good side. So to see her coming after him even after he left her at prom made him feel bad for reacting the way he did. “Sorry… You didn’t do anything,” he added, taking a deep breath in. “There’s not much I can talk about. I was a d!ck and that’s the end of the story,” with a chuckle he shrugged his shoulders, talking a step back towards her. “But… thank you. I’ll just… go somewhere. I don’t know.”

Delilah rolled her eyes as Daniel said that the camp instructor would probably favour two cheerleaders to her. “Well, I guess I’ll have to prove you wrong there, then,” She replied, feeling even more motivated to win over the instructor - which she knew wouldn’t be much of a challenge. And she wanted to see the look of disappointment on the eagerly hopeful cheerleader’s faces. “If they want to start a fight,” She gave a small laugh, “Bring it on, but they would certainly regret that.”

She laughed when he said he may take a maternity test, but Delilah knew that there was a relatively high chance that Daniel actually would. “Well when you do that and get the confirmation of the b@stard being Lily-Ann’s, let me know,” She said, making it seem as though taking the test would be pointless. But, the discussion was stopped by the sound of both of their phone’s text tones, that she assumed were both from the same sender: Blue Royalty. Without much deliberation about it, they found and joined their group they were both in and started going through the quiz they had been sent.

Thankfully, Delilah could give input in some of the answers, hastily admitting to kissing Daniel on Prom Night, then, alternatively, having an air of nonchalance when it came to admitting her fling with Brandon. and she could make some educated guesses with some of them, like which unfortunate classmate got Dominic on their Oh My Dollar Valentine list. “The other groups won’t get higher than that,” She said confidently, looking around at the people who would probably have no idea of the answers.

Instant regret filled her as soon as Dorian turned around, not even trying to hide the annoyance from her approaching. How could she have thought that he might not hate her being there? Though she had suggested her leaving, Sadie’s heart sank when Dorian told her to go. She hesitated, but then realised she was probably making it worse by staying. Sadie started taking steps back, wondering how she had thought there was a possibility this would have gone any other way. “Yeah, yeah, sorry, I’ll-” But as she was about to leave, Dorian started talking again, to which her eyes jumped back up again.

Sadie struggled to find the next thing to say. Dorian had, initially, appeared completely against the idea of her being there. But now maybe less so. Or he added the next part of what he said to just be polite. “Okay, it’s okay, I’m sorry,” She replied, shaking her head. “I can leave you, then. Or I could-” Sadie was about to ask about coming with him, but his face of irritation from before showed up in her mind. “No, forget about it. Sorry. I guess I’ll…” She looked down, “… See you later then?”

Wednesday 9:00 pm, 8th April, Minaret Falls Campground

After a long day of the teacher’s innocent team-building, and therefore boring, challenges, the night arrived to which the Blue Royalty-prompted game of Dare or Drink started, encouraging considerably less pure activities than earlier in the day.

To help stir the pot, Blue Royalty send out a list of personalised dares for each student, and soon enough, this became a major way to earn points. It was important more so for the current Blue Bloods, as the rule had been added to remove five points for any dare they didn’t complete.

Blue Bloods

Elodie May DeLoughrey
Jezebel Mallory Sloane
Mikel Lucas
Dorian DeLoughrey
Luciano Ribeiro

@BlueRoyalty

Short recap on how it will work

Dares have been sent out on the Dare or Drink PM that all active users on. This means you don’t have to wait for a character to dare you in the RP, and you can post your character completing the task at anytime. Please quote and directly PM me your character completing the dare so I can give them the points!!

A soft smile met his lips as everyone gathered around the campfire - Andy having his guitar out and slightly strumming with Ketziah talking to the man. Though… there could never be a true quiet night with a bunch of Cerulean High students. It just wasn’t a thing - hence when someone offered a game of drink and dare, everyone immediately agreed. Though there were still students walking around, a few of the cheerleaders giggling in a corner not hearing the offer or they likely would have joined, and Daniel and Mikel bringing out a large amount of alcohol - how they got that past the teachers, he would never know. But he did know that the teachers walking around turned a blind eye to what they were doing - meaning someone likely bribed them.

Though Jordan wasn’t necessarily excited about playing, a soft look at Jezebel and Mikel and there was something in him that just didn’t let him get up and leave… after all… it’ couldn’t be that bad right? Perhaps, as the dares and drinks continued - everyone got a message on their phone - seemingly a list from Blue Royalty mentioning that this game was practically under their jurisdiction. So it was a mistake to join - and that was soon exemplified as the dares become more personalized - people listing out dares from the message. Though he didn’t really think anyone would choose him, after all silently watching wasn’t hurting, though soon his eyes met Kara’s as she called him. A frown meeting his lips when he heard her dare.

Serenade Mikel

A brief glance at the guy made Jordan sigh with contempt. He had slept on what he did the day before and regretted it more… but at the same time felt Mikel deserved exactly what he got. After a few seconds of everyone looking at him, Jordan finally stood up from his seat on the floor - walking over to Andy with a slight smile. “Mind if I…” Jordan started, pointing at the guitar, though he didn’t get to finish his question before Andy handed it over. “Riker - you bring the acoustic?” he asked his friend who nodded and grabbed his own guitar. After all - he did have his guitarist here, might as well use him.

“Follow my lead,” He told Riker who nodded, and Jordan started strumming his guitar. He knew he could sing something crass to Mikel - get that over with. But a Serenade had the attachment of a sweet song alongside it. And Jordan didn’t drink - so there he was. Strumming the guitar before singing a song with two meanings. One… for Jezebel. A separate one for Mikel. Walking around the circle as he sang.

I am tired of this place, I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave away
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small
Though I try to resist I still want it all

I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children’s names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
And everything is shattering and it’s my mistake

Though he stopped towards Mikel, looking at the man as he sang the chorus - specifically the statement of “only fools fall for you”.

Only fools fall for you, only fools fall
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools fall
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall

As that ended, Jordan looked around again - walking once again - as he continued singing, sending a slight stare towards Jezebel when he sang

The little things you like stick, and I’m like aerosol
Don’t give a fck, not giving up, I still want it all

As the song came to an end, Jordan walked over to Andy handing the guitar back to the man before taking his seat - the clarity that everyone’s eyes were on Jordan to pick the next person. “Mikel…” perhaps this was a mistake. Perhaps he shouldn’t push his luck. Though Jordan had looked at the list along with everyone else - paying specific attention to Mikel’s out of curiosity. “I dare you to tell everyone what your dog walking business included,” Jordan said - not paying attention to the silence around him as the tension between him and Mikel simmered.

Emily noticed the looks. The stolen glances. The laughing arm touches. Hell, she had done all of them more than once. The problem was it wasn’t her doing them. No, it was Sadie fcking Monroe and Dorian DeLoughrey. That btch. And what she knew more than anything else was the fact that Sadie was doing this with the knowledge that Dorian was hers. So who could blame her for what she did over the past camping day? The moment Sadie had the audacity to go comfort Dorian, Em had gotten to work. Changing Sadie’s bug spray with sugar water, throwing her luggage in the lake with all her clothes except the most hideous ones, replacing everything in her hike bag with rocks so the girl would struggle as Emily walked with Dorian and that girl was stuck in the back, getting bug bites. Even so far as putting a lizard on her head and laughing with her friends. Oh how she hoped Sadie would burst into tears and decide to leave early.

Emily even had a brilliant plan to take Sadie’s bag to the lake and let the girl wake up there. Was she taking tips from the parent trap? Maybe - but it worked for those twins. Why not her. Well… until Jordan Williams caught her and practically yelled at her. She wouldn’t care except the mention of him tweeting about it with her handle - which she couldn’t let happen with his millions of followers. So she stopped. Whatever. Sadie wasn’t worth it anyway. Though she couldn’t help notice the girl glance back at Dorian in the night. Emily quite literally couldn’t do it anymore. “Sadie,” the name left her mouth as Emily walked towards her. The b*tch had taken her position on the team and her man. No more. “I don’t know how to f!cking spell this out for you - I thought yesterday was pretty self-explanatory. Stay. Away. From. Dorian. Capice? I’d keep making your life a living hell if you somehow didn’t get Jordan to fight your battles for you. But let make one thing clear. While you may be protected for the next two days, I will make your life a living hell for the rest of the year if you don’t sit your pretty ass down away from the big boys table. Alright?”

Ruby sat down at the campfire, hearing about the dare or drink. She was aware she could get Blue Royalty points, but she just wanted to drink. She sat down, staring into the flames. The game began, most people taking the dares for points. Suddenly, she was dared. She let the question sink in, sighing. She had to kiss someone on her Oh My Dollar list. She stood up, making her way over to where Daniel was sitting, looking down at him. “So…hi.” She bent down, pressing her lips to his before pulling away and walking back to her seat, looking straight ahead. That made her feel something, and she didn’t like it.

As much as she loved camping, there had been a series of events that had somewhat taken away from Sadie’s experience. However, Sadie had tried to rule them off as just accidents. Sugar water in bug spray? Probably just a manufacturing error, happens all the time. Rocks in her bag? Maybe they just fell in, they were at a campsite, it would be stupid to think that wouldn’t happen. Her luggage in the lake? They were on a really steep hill. Maybe even the lizard was another stroke of bad luck, and there just happened to be people around to watch… and laugh. So, Sadie didn’t dwell on any of them too much. In fact, as soon as that day ended, so did the incidents. Maybe she had been just an unlucky day.

When the day ended, and the night began, everyone gathered to play a game of Dare or Drink. Though Sadie had been apprehensive about this, she knew it would be good for her to be involved in something with her classmates. Blue Royalty points were also a persuasive factor, as it was for everyone else. As they all scattered around the campfire, Sadie stopped in her tracks when she heard her name being called from behind her. She turned to see Emily, and soon enough the two had left and to be out of sight from everyone else.

“Emily, hey, are you okay?” She asked, which immediately kickstarted Emily’s ranting to Sadie. Sadie was confused at first until the name was dropped into her monologue. Dorian. Soon enough, Sadie finally realised that the events from the day before were no accident. Though she should have been angry about that, Sadie just felt sorry. No, she hadn’t been romantic in any way with Dorian, but she could see that Emily was just someone hurting about the chance of losing him. Not that she would anyway, especially not to Sadie.

Her thought process was interrupted when a second name came from Emily’s mouth. “Jordan? What did he-?” But her voice was immediately drowned out by Emily as she continued talking, threatening, and telling her to stay away from Dorian, to which Sadie nodded, almost instantly. Maybe she was out of line talking to him, while Emily was having strong feelings for him. “Yeah, got it… understood, not talking to him,” Sadie replied. “I’m… so sorry.”

A slight chuckle left his lips when she said he had a big ego, “Have you looked in the mirror Maddy?” he joked, wrapping his arms around her again - pulling her in for a second hug as she explained how she was a good singer - though he would jokingly disagree again. “You know I’ve worked with professionals right? Sorry sweetie, you don’t compare,” he added, still hugging the girl. Before finally letting go after a few moments when he had successfully crushed her ribs - ignoring her statement of Jordan being hot and trying to get the picture of them two together out of his mind because… no.

He feigned hurt when she pushed a finger into his chest, talking nonsense about how he purposefully distracted her. “I?” he acted hurt, “would never do any such thing,” he continued - through sighing as she boasted she would never watch fast and furious and he’d have to watch ‘Legally Blonde,’ “NO NO NOPE NO,” Riker said covering his ears as he sang a little tune of “lalallalalalalal” pretending like he wasn’t listening. Though this was always their relationship. Jokes on top of jokes on top of more jokes. Even with a year apart, the minute the two were together they fell into their usual antics. Perhaps that’s what “sibling” love really was. People had their biological family, and their chosen family. Maddy would always be a part of that chosen part of his family.

---

A little game never hurt - so when Riker heard that there was a game of drink or dare happening - it was an easy choice of what to do. Though the… issue became this blue royalty thing. How did it… how did it know the fact that his reason to stay wasn’t as simple as just… staying a little longer? He didn’t know how - but as the question of “Tell everyone the real reason you came to C. High” came out of Elodie’s mouth - he was stricken… unsure what to say. His eyes passed over Jordan who looked at him with wide eyes and he just smiled. “I don’t know what it’s asking… I’m,” Riker started with a soft laugh attempting to hide any evidence of the fact that he was lying… as much as he hated doing it. “I’m really just here to give this school a try because I’m bored and also…” he said pointing towards Jordan, “to watch after that idiot and make sure he doesn’t get into any more trouble, obviously” he added. Though he said it in a joking tone - there was an underlying truth in the last statement… though not fully the truth.

Attempting to get the eyes off of him, Riker - in his joking demeanor - turned towards Maddy with a mischievous smile. Maddy - dare you to try a pickup line on someone in this circle," he added, though when the eyes were off him - Riker took the vodka bottle in the middle and took a small shot - needing it for his sanity. How the hell… what the f*ck was this Blue Royalty game?
