"Alright mates we are going to play a good old game of spin the bottle." Louis informed the boys who sat on the couch.

Harry and Liam began to move the furniture to bring a more opened space to play in. Beginning to assemble a circle I sat between Niall and Blair taking in a deep breath when Louis placed an empty bottle in the center of our circle. We all looked around at each other as Louis sat back and watched the bottle spin around eventually slowing down. Holding my breath and praying that it didn't land on me I watched as it slowly stopped to the person sitting across from me. Liam.

Erupting into laughs Harry patted his back and waited for an answer as to if he wanted a truth or dare. Giggling at Liam's face when the bottle pointed towards him he parted his lips to speak.

"I'm going to start off easy and work my way up so truth." Liam explained making us snicker to ourselves with Louis began to ask a truth of Liam. We let Louis ask the questions since most usually they were excellent questions that brought embarrassment from having to answer.

"Liam?" Louis started off making me grin widely at his accent when he said his name.

"Yes Louis?" Liam replied trying to be confident even though he was obviously shitting his pants at what Louis was about to ask.

"Have you ever had a crush on anyone here?" Louis' eyes full with mischief causing me to avert my gaze towards Liam who sat speechless. "Any day now Liam."

"Yes." He spoke in a more hushed tone unlike his normal volumed voice. Dropping my mouth open I looked at Blair as she turned her head to look at me.

"What?" Niall laughed dropping his jaw like both Blair and I alike. "Who?" Niall asked him hoping he would answer the double truth.

"One truth per question." Liam told Niall spinning the bottle as fast as possible to draw away attention from his answer. If I had to make my best guess I would say he had a crush on Blair but there was no way of telling.

"Blair!" I nudged her laughing when the bottle shot to her direction pointing directly towards her.

"Blair truth or dare?" Louis asked her shooting his eyes towards her in amusement.

"Oh god...." She smirked putting her hand to her forehead and sighing loudly, "Dare."

All of us went into a chorus of "oohs" from the ballsy choice Blair made. I would have thought she have for sure picked a truth like Liam to start off with but I was proven wrong when she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I have a perfect one for you love." Louis arched a brow looking around for anyone's objections towards him giving her a dare.

"Dear god." Blair tilted her head up to the ceiling waiting for Louis to reveal what he had planned for her. Her brown wavy hair falling longer down her back when her head was tilted up towards the ceiling light she was under.

"I dare you to sit in the lap of the lad that you have fancied here until you or that person that you sit on gets picked again." Louis' blue eyes waited for her to choose her boy of choice. Sighing Blair stood up and looked around at Niall, Liam, Harry, and Louis questioning who she should sit on.

This question intrigued me about Blair. She had never told me about having a crush on anyone in our group. I only knew Blair to have a crush on a kid named Calum at our school, he had transferred and had Blair's attention all year.

Blair's feet moved to the other side of her before squatting down to sit on the boy who had his legs crossed. Dropping my mouth once again the rest of us erupted into "oh my gods" and "what's". Blair liked Louis?!

Louis looked at her in satisfaction almost in a sense that he knew who she would pick. Still looking at her she avoided my eye contact at all costs.

"Blair?!" I shouted her name in shock with my eyes wide from the new development. If Blair liked Louis, what else did I not know? Did Blair date Louis at one point without any of us knowing?

"Let's move on!" Blair took the bottle and twisted it covering up her embarrassed expression and blushing cheeks.

"Who will it be next?" Louis asked the group as we watched the bottle intensely. Watching it slow down until it came to a stop I looked up to see it had landed on Harry.

"No!" He shouted with a smile on his face. I was interested in what Harry would pick and what he would say or do with his turn. "I'm going with a dare." Harry said after everyone had stopped laughing and quieted down.

"Alright Hazza, go jump in the pool with your clothes on." Louis told him causing him to groan and give a nervous smile.

"I guess that's not as bad as what Blair had to do." Harry admitted standing up just for the rest of us to follow him outside to the lit up pool outside.

"Is it cold?" Harry asked looking over his shoulder at Louis whose smirk was clearly visible.

Harry wore a blue flannel with black skinny jeans that hugged him perfectly. He wore a t shirt underneath to layer with the opened up flannel, he had good style for what it was worth.

"Just jump you willy!" Liam called to Harry who was teetering at the edge of the deep end. With that last comment from Liam he jumped in giving him the bird when he was in mid air.

The water from the pool splashed all around but never quiet reached the rest of us that backed up for the sole reason of not getting wet. Looking into the pool Harry popped up and began to swim to the later on the side of the pool. He put his hands on his hips while the rest of us laughed at his soaking wet clothing.

"It's a good look for you!" Niall laughed loudly making me laugh even harder. There was something about Niall's laugh that seemed to get me every time, it was so contagious!

Louis threw Harry a towel for him to maybe help dry off even though I doubted the towel would do much for him. We decided to continue our game outside since Harry was soaked and Louis had said his mom would kill him if he stepped foot in the house soaking. Blair went back to sitting on Louis' lap as instructed as I then sat in-between Liam and Louis spinning the bottle to see who the next victim was.

"Please not me! Please!!!" I prayed seeing that the bottle was getting too close to comfort. Crossing my fingers and tensing up my body looked over at Liam when the bottle landed directly in between the two of us. "That's you!" I widened my eyes pointing towards Liam.

"No, that's clearly more on your side!" Liam shouted back with a smile on his face. His hair was slicked back like usual and his teeth to be honest were brighter then my future.

"Rock, paper, scissors!" Louis intervened after Liam and I argued about whose side it was closer to.

Placing my palm out and putting my fist on top of it I waited for Liam to do the same. "Ready?" I asked him with a grin on my face feeling confident that I would win this without any effort.

He nodded waiting for me to move my fist up and down in my palm. "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!" Our fists moved in sync while transforming into rock, paper, or scissors. Changing my hand position to scissors my smile soon crumbled when I saw Liam's hand still in a fist for rock.

"God damn it!" I swore moving my head up to stare at the night sky before taking a look at Louis' eyes that lit up at my loss.

"Okay lovely what's your poison?" Louis arched a brow at me making me nervous with all eyes on me.

"Dare." I felt frisky and knew nothing could be as bad a jumping in the pool or sitting on the lap of someone you liked in the group.

"K, I want you to take off one article of clothing." He thought of this quickly as if he already had this pre planned.

"Louis!" I whined not wanting to go through with his dare he had come up with.

Even though I wasn't one to be shy to taking off clothes I didn't want to take off to reveal anything. The night spring breeze making it a light jacket weather and not that of stripping off any clothing.

"K, it's not like we haven't seen you naked anyways! It's nothing new to any of us here." Niall piped in referring to last years event they had all seen.

Last year all of us got a little two tipsy at Louis' house and played a game of dare or dare. Essentially a game that only consisted of dares and being drunk I did somethings I could vaguely remember. One of them being that I skinny dipped in Louis pool as one of my dares!

"Fine!" I huffed pulling my crop top up over my head to reveal my laced baby pink bra the boys eyes drew to.

"Nice rack K!" Liam said jokingly causing me to push him and fold my arms over my bra exposed chest.

"Who will our next victim be?" Blair spun the bottle for Louis since she sat on his lap still waiting for her or Louis to get picked so she could return to her own seat.

"My bets are on Niall!" Harry said as he crossed his legs and brought them in close to his chest to conserve his heat. "Damn it!" Harry smiled groaning at the bottle stopping on him once again.

"I'm going to go with a dare." Harry said finally looking towards Louis for his task.

"I have one for you Haz!" Niall spoke up turning our attention to him while he looked at Harry. His bleached blonde hair was browning at the roots from not tending to the bleaching he needed to do. "Let me go through your phone and pick the most embarrassing picture in your camera roll to show everyone."

"That's brilliant!" Louis began to laugh wrapping his arms around Blair's waist and squeezing her tight while laughing.

"This is great." Harry huffed handing Niall his phone and running a hand through his brown curls. Niall eagerly took the phone and went to work on finding the one picture that would fit the requirements of most embarrassing.

"Oh my god Harry!!" Niall leaned back onto his back laughing uncontrollably with the phone on his chest. Laughing loudly we all began to ask Niall what he had been looking at to cause him to wake the neighbors with his laugh attack.

"Niall! Show us!" Blair urged smiling from listening to Niall's laugh. Regaining a little composure he sat up and showed us the picture on the screen.

"Oh god!" Harry covered his eyes with his hands and smiled while pulling his face down causing his skin by his eyes to droop far down.

I began into a laughing fit along with everyone else upon seeing the picture of Harry's full moon out. The picture portrayed Harry with his hands on his hips and his head turned towards the camera with his butt flexed. Falling backwards on the grass my eyes began to water from seeing Harry's overly exaggerated sexy smolder.

"Who was that for?!" I asked Harry between laughing attacks that I couldn't control from seeing the image.

"One truth or dare per turn." Harry reminded me taking his phone from Niall and turning the screen off to get rid of the image we had all laughed over.

"Kendall Ramsey!" The laughing of the group does down while I turned around to the voice that sounded all too familiar.

"Shit." I whisper only for the group to hear when I saw my mother storming towards all of us sitting in the circle. Closing my eyes and turning into the group I stood up and turned back around to face my mother.

"What in the hell is going on here?" She shouted at me with anger building in her face. I didn't know that you could visually see steam come from someone's ears but there was a faint trace of it in my mind.

"Mom-" there was no use in even trying to explain myself because I was only getting cut off.

"Where the hell are your clothes Kendall?! Huh? We have plenty of money to keep you clothed!" My mom yelled at me seeing me in my bra and jeans. Blushing slightly I bent down to pick up my crop top before my mother took my wrist and pulled me out of the backyard with her.

"Mom!" I took back my wrist looking back at my friends who had shock written all over their faces. The gate remained open when my mother opened it up and stormed towards the car where Kayla moved her head trying to get a good view from the front seat of the car.

"Kendall! You are outrageous!" My mother yelled turning around before we even reached the car. Her fury was reaching new heights every time she laid her eyes on me. The pure sight of me enraging her to the point where she could only scream and yell to express herself.

"Which part? The part when I snuck out after being yelled at for having fun last night or the part when you found me shirtless in my FRIENDS backyard?" I crossed my arms over my chest tilting my head to the side not about to feel sorry for what I did.

"Everything you do isn't as innocent as you make it out to be Kendall! I just walked into my daughters room to find she was gone and then walk in on her shirtless with a bunch of boys!" My mother yelled at me again firing word towards me.

"Mom, I only do these things because all you do is restrict me to fit a certain mold! I'm not that person! I'm not the perfect daughter!" I screamed at her letting my feelings spill out of my mouth like water in a facet.

"Get in the car now!" She shook her head pointing to where Kayla sat with her phone pressed against the window recording the entire argument.

"I can walk home." I stormed off putting my shirt back on and blocking out any last words my mother had to say to me.
