~Lover~
"Let's play a game!" 1989 yelled out as she turned the blasting music down. 
"Sure what game?" asked folklore, standing up from the couch and fixing the white skirt she had changed into. 
"Hmm...what about spin the bottle?" answered 1989. 
Midnights let out a loud groan from the couch opposite the room from the one I was sat on. "You wanna play a game where both you and your girlfriend have to kiss other people?" she looked both annoyed and nervous, tugging at the sleeve of her shirt. "I'm not sure what I think about that idea..." 
"Only as friends of course! We wouldn't let things get awkward or freaky, don't worry, Mids," said 1989 from behind her girlfriend.  She was massaging her shoulders gently while Midnights leaned her head back and rested it on 1989.
"Fine..." said Midnights sceptically. She slowly got up from the couch and walked over to the middle of the room. She kept a tight grip around 1989's hand the whole time, even after they both sat down on the woolly carpet. They were soon joined by the very excited Debut and Fearless, as well as everyone else, although rep and evermore both looked very unhappy about the game. 
"I'll get a bottle," I said and walked over to the living room table. I grabbed an empty glass bottle and walked back to the circle on the floor. 
"Wine huh?" commented Red as I made my way down to the floor. 
I looked at 1989 who was sat next to me. She was wearing a glittery crop top and skirt with a pair of silver heels as she tightly squeezed the hand of the girl next to her. Midnights was sitting next to her, one hand on the floor behind her and one intertwined with 1989's. Her stare was distant like she wasn't really there. She was wearing a blue long sleeved T-shirt that wrapped tightly around her body and a pair of brown flare jeans, paired with a pair of brown loafers. 
"Who wants to go first?" asked Debut as she looked around the circle impatiently. "How about you Red?" she said and we all looked over at the girl she was pointing at. I had to lean forward to see her since she was sat behind Poets, who was next to me.
Red blushed a little and answered slowly, "Sure.." she got up so she was stood on her knees and quickly pulled down her striped T-shirt before leaning forward to spin the bottle in front of us. It spun and spun and spun before slowly slowing down to a long "ooooo" from everyone in the room. There was a moment of silence while Red tilted her head to the side to see who it landed on. 
"Hahaha! Red and Speak Now!" laughed Debut and fell over on the floor laughing. We all just smiled at her before looking over at Speak Now who had been giggling and waving her arms around dramatically, talking to evermore and rep before her name was spoken. Now she was just looking at Red sceptically. 
"You're like one of my best friends though..." she said quietly while fidgeting with her fingers. 
"Guys, no strings attached, just a quick kiss and it never happened," said 1989. She was sitting in Midnights' lap, a big smile on her face watching Red and Speak Now look at each other uncomfortably.
"Oh my days, just do it already!" yelled rep from next to Speak Now, shoving her into the circle. She looked back at rep, a mean look on her face before turning back to Red. They both looked at each other awkwardly and nodded before leaning in for a quick kiss.
"Woah I blinked, can you do it again?" joked Poets and everyone started laughing. Speak Now gave her a disgusted look and crawled back to her spot next to rep and evermore. 
"Alright, Speak Now, you pick who goes next!" said 1989 and clapped her hands together.
Speak now carefully looked at each and everyone of us before turning to rep with a smirk on her face. "Wipe that smile off your face right now, you're not cool," said rep, annoyed.
