We find Scott and Westley on the back porch playing beer pong.
"There he is!" Scott yells. "MVP of the fucking night!"
Dylan shakes his head, but he's grinning. "It was a team effort."
"Don't be modest. You killed it." Scott misses his shot and curses. "Alright, who's next?"
"We'll play," Marina says, appearing beside me. She's dragging Rose with her.
I watch them set up while Dylan pulls me closer. His arm wraps around my waist, and I lean into him.
"Having fun?" I ask.
"Yeah. You?"
I lean in. “I have some ideas for very fun things we can do later.”
He bites my ear, and I laugh loudly.
An hour later, someone suggests a game of Truth or Dare. We're all sitting in Rocky's bedroom—me, Dylan, Marina, Scott, Westley, Rose, Madeline, and Double D’s.
"I am not playing this," Westley says immediately.
"Come on, it'll be fun," Marina insists.
Scott grins. "I'm in."
Dylan looks at me and raises an eyebrow. "You down, Moo?"
I laugh. "It’s like Deja vu."
"Let's do it."
We sit in a circle, and Marina goes first. She picks truth and admits she's been seeing someone but won't say who. Everyone tries to guess, but she just smirks.
Then it's Scott's turn. He picks dare and has to text the last girl he hooked up with, saying he misses her. He does it, and we all watch him cringe when she responds immediately.
A few more rounds pass. Madeline picks dare and has to do a shot of hot sauce. Rose picks truth and admits she hooked up with someone on the football team.
Then it's Dylan's turn.
"Truth or dare?" Marina asks.
Dylan doesn't hesitate. "Dare."
Marina grins. "I dare you to admit that you never looked at Cecily as a friend.”
Scott starts hooting, and I can’t help but laugh.
Dylan says, “That sounds a lot like a truth.”
Marina shakes her head. “It’s a dare. You had us all going for months, I’d say, that you two were only friends. Now I dare you to tell us the truth. You guys were never friends, were you?”
I squeeze Dylan’s knee that he’s bouncing.
He turns to me and says, “The truth is… we’re still only friends.”
I lean my head against his shoulder and smile at Marina and the rest of the gang. They all shake their heads.
