I’m trying to calm down as I hang out in the basement with Renee and Jane, but knowing what I’m going to have to do soon is sending panic through me. I try to distract myself the best that I can, though, and devour the breakfast sandwich, hash brown, and coffee Micha bought me.

“You’re being super quiet right now,” Renee remarks as I finish off my hash brown.

I shrug, wiping off my hands. “It’s not like I’m ever Miss Talkative.”

“She has a point.” Jane, who’s a year older than me and has blonde hair and a lot of piercings picks up a bottle of vodka Renee brought over.

Micha, Ethan, and Steve, Jane’s boyfriend, wandered off to the garage to check out Steve’s new ride. I wanted to go with them, but I was hungry and decided to sit down and eat. But I’m starting to regret my decision.

“Why don’t you talk that much?” Jane asks me as she unscrews the cap on the vodka bottle. “Or well, I should say talk that much to us. You talk to Micha all the time.”

I want to say that I like Micha, but manage to bite my tongue. “Because I think talking is overrated.”

Jane nods her head then takes a swig of vodka. “I actually agree with you about that.” She passes the bottle to me. “Talking is overrated, especially when we can do so much more with our mouths, like drink or make out with a hot guy.

Renee and her laugh while I mentally roll my eyes.

I really should have gone with the guys.

Sighing, I take the bottle and swallow a sip, mostly to calm my freaking nerves over having to kiss Micha’s chest. As the thought crosses my mind, I take another swallow then hand the bottle to Renee.

“What was Micha talking about with you before he walked out of here with Ethan and Steve?” Renee asks me as she lifts the bottle of vodka toward her mouth. “I heard him say you owed him or something.”

I sink back into the worn leather sofa. “Well, to make a long story short, I lost a challenge and now… I have to kiss his chest.”

Renee blinks in surprise. “What the hell was the challenge about?”

I shrug, picking at a loose thread hanging from a hole in my jeans. “Over whether or not he has a hairy, gross chest.”

Renee gapes at me. “Please say you were arguing that he doesn’t.”

“What would be the fun in that?” I question with a smirk.

She shakes her head, still gaping at me. “Ella, you’re seriously the most crazy person I’ve ever met.”

“I’ll second that,” Jane says as she snatches the bottle from Renee. “I mean, Micha’s not even my type but I’ll totally admit, he’s hot. And that includes his chest because I’ve seen that guy with his shirt off and…” She gets a lustful smile on her face. “All I can say is wow.”

“Wow’s an understatement,” Renee says, stretching her legs out in front of her.
