Chapter 22: Shopping and a Dangerous Game of Truth or Dare
Previously
When I get to the park, I only had to wait 30 seconds until her car pulled over.
It was a silver Lexus Sc 430. Kind of old but still stylish.
"Get in loser, we're going shopping!" she hollers and I quickly jump in the car.
Now
The drive was somewhat a short ride and we soon arrived at the mall.
When I stood up from the car, all three monsters complimented me on my outfit.
"W-What are y-you talking about?" I ask nervously.
"No, I mean this jacket goes so well with this skirt!" Shadow exclaimed.
"And that's why it was a good choice to let you join our group!" Bunny boasted, patting herself on the back, "Now, come on!"
She motions for us to follow her into the mall.
Inside are many department stores such as Forever 21, Kate Spade, H&M, and so many more.
Bunny leads us to a Tiffany & Co. store.
"First, we're going to find (Y/N) the Devil Divas bracelet."
We look through the glass display and find it almost immediately.
I look at the price tag.
$160!?
"Hi! Can we take a look at that bracelet over there?" Shadow points at the bracelet through the glass and the employee gets it for her.
"Okay, yeah. So how much is this bracelet including tax?" Bunny asks.
The employee calculates the price on the register and replies,
"$175."
Bunny swipes her credit card and pays for the bracelet.
The employee puts the box in a cute little teal gift bag and hands it to Bunny.
"Have a nice day!" The worker says to us.
Everyone else except Bunny says it back.
"B-Bunny, I-I can't accept-"
Before I can finish, Bunny drags us to a Forever 21 store.
"Next, some gold dresses or skirts! Split up, we'll meet outside the fitting rooms in fifteen minutes with two pieces of gold clothing."
We each go our separate ways and I go looking through a few racks of clothes.
I feel pretty guilty to have Bunny purchasing these clothes for me and I'm not even sure if I'll have enough money to pay her back.
I stumble across a beautiful gold sequel dress that has the hem of the dress dropped down to the knee. It's cute but there's one problem...
It's strapless.
There is NO possible way that I have that much chest to fill those out.
I put it back and almost immediately find another dress.
It is gold, reached below the knee, and has an off the shoulder top. Despite that detail, it doesn't show any part of my chest.
I quickly check the price tag.
$16
It's not that awful of a price for such an elegant dress.
I half-smile, slightly content, with my finding.
I continue my search and go to explore the other half of the store. I check the time.
5 minutes.
I look through the rack of clothes and find a gorgeous gold blazer that matches the color of my skirt. It's so pretty!
I check the price tag.
It's only $10?
Why are the prices so low?
Is it clearance?
Nope.
I grab the dress and blazer and make my way to the fitting rooms. Ebony is already there, sitting on the bench outside, on her phone as per usual.
I sit down next to her. She glances up from her phone at me for a second and looks back down. In her hand are a gold sequin body con dress (no way I'm wearing that) and a black turtleneck sweater with gold sequin and oversized sleeves (honestly, it looks pretty fitting and warm enough for the current weather).
Just as I'm about to die from the awkward silence, Bunny and Shadow strut towards us.
Bunny has a dress with a gold top and a cranberry dress and a white skirt with a gold hem and belt in her hand.
Shadow is holding a black shirt that says "Slay Queen" in gold lettering (I'm not entirely sure how to feel about that...) and a matching black skirt with gold lace on the hem.
Bunny pushes me in one of the fitting rooms with all the clothes the girls chosen for me.
I first try on the gold blazer since it matches my skirt.
I come out in a few moments and the girls give approving looks.
I go back in and change again into the next outfit.
After doing that a few more times and having the girls judge it, we decide on my dress, my, blazer, Ebony's turtleneck sweater, Bunny's gold and cranberry dress, her skirt, and Shadow's "Slay Queen" shirt.
As we make our way to the checkout, I tell her that I can't accept these expensive clothes.
"Don't worry about paying me back. Your first trip to the mall is on me. Ebony and Shadow had the same treatment and it's only fair that you do too!"
When we pay for the clothes, the cashier says the price out loud,
"$125.14 including tax."
Bunny swipes her credit card without giving it a second thought while I restlessly stroke my hair, feeling regret for having Bunny spend money on MY clothes.
The cashier hands us the bags of clothes and bids us farewell.
We finally finish our shopping.
"Do you guys just want to go to my house?" Bunny asks.
Ebony and Shadow both nod as I shrug.
She takes us to her house. Or mansion.
Outside is a large ivory white gate guarding the entrance. The front yard is filled with flowers, grass, and different shrub sculptures.
She effortlessly parks the car and walks out with confidence.
We follow her as she goes into the house.
"Parents aren't home so we got the house to ourselves!" Bunny exclaims.
She gestures for us to follow her to her room.
It's a massive pink bedroom. Not much of a surprise there.
A pastel pink bed is placed in the middle of the room with black bedside tables on each side. On the left side of the bed is a closet filled with dresses and stylish clothes that I wouldn't even DARE to try on. On the right side is a large window with a black desk for studying. Next to the desk is a small black and pink L-shaped sofa with a matching ottoman placed in front of it. In front of the bed are a series of recessed shelves. There is a TV on the shelf along with books and other ornaments positioned on the shelves.
Bunny sits on the couch and we join her.
"Who wants to play a game?"
'I don't like that tone...'
No one responds.
"I'll take that as a yes," she shrugs,
"The classic Truth or Dare.
I'll start.
Ebony. Truth or dare?"
She ponders for a second.
"Truth."
"If you suddenly turned into a guy, what are some things you would do?"
She chuckles a little before answering.
"One thing is jumping. I won't have this massive weight on my chest. Second, take a midnight stroll. I might get mugged but raped? No. Third, not have to worry about my hair being messy. It's normal for a guy, right?
Okay, Shadow. Truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
"After anyone speaks or makes any sound, you have to say 'banana' until your next turn," she smirks.
"Banana."
Bunny starts cracking up.
"Banana."
"(Y/N), truth or dare? Banana."
I decide to play it safe.
"Truth."
"Banana. Awkward first date. Banana. "
"Um...I-I've never really...d-dated anyone before...?"
"Banana. Wait, so you've never dated someone before? Banana." Shadow cuts in.
I shake my head and shrug.
"We're gonna find you a date!" Bunny jokes, or what I assume she jokes.
"Banana."
"U-Uh okay...B-Bunny, truth or dare?"
"Banana."
"Dare." She crosses her arm and looks at me, almost demanding a challenge.
"C-Call your crush a-and tell him y-you love him. A-And put it on s-speaker."
"Banana."
Bunny's face turns into a light pink but it quickly fades away as she looks at me with a smug smirk and calls a number on her phone. The caller ID is labeled as "sweetheart", typically for someone as bold and flirtatious as Bunny.
Her phone rings for a bit before the caller picks up. She puts it on speaker.
"Hello?" A male voice asks over the phone.
"Hey there, hot stuff~" she flirts.
(I am SO sorry but it's the first thing that came to mind!!)
"Who's this?"
"Your one and only true love~"
Ebony is shaking her head in amusement while covering Shadow's mouth to muffle her laughing. Meanwhile, I am trying to identify that oh so familiar voice.
"Let me guess, you're Bunny."
'Wow. That was fast.'
"Ding ding ding! Correct!"
The caller sighs, "What do you want?"
Then another voice comes from the phone, "PJ? Who's that?"
Of course.
It's PJ.
Duh.
"No one important," he answers back.
"Hey!" Bunny blurts out.
"Okay!" the voice, who I suppose is Cil, responds.
"Now, answer my question. Why did you call me? And why am I on speaker? I can hear someone's, I'm going to guess Shadow's, giggling being muffled."
"I called you because I was bored, is it hard that to understand?
And I'm on speaker because I want the world to hear your handsome voice!"
"Look. If you're just going to waste my time, I'm hanging up."
"No! Not yet!"
"And why shouldn't I hang up?"
"I want to spend more time with you!" she whines.
He stays quiet for a moment before saying,
"Bye."
And hangs up.
Shadow bursts out with full-on laughter and Ebony muffles her own with her hands.
"Yeah! I like PJ! So what?" Bunny huffs.
I shrug.
"Okay, Shadow, truth or d-"
She was cut off by the ringing of my phone.
"E-Excuse me..."
I quickly take the call outside her room.
"H-Hello?"
"(Y/N)!" Mr. Error calls.
"D-Do you need s-something, Mr. Error?"
"No, no. I don't need anything. But I'm just wondering when you're coming home. It's almost 5:30."
"O-Oh! It is getting l-late...I can come home n-now if you w-want."
"Okay, thank you, (Y/N)."
"B-Bye..."
"Bye!"
I hang up and walk back into the room.
"I g-gotta go..."
"Why?"
"M-My...um...My p-parents want m-me home..." I lie.
"Okay then. I'll take you home."
"N-No, it's o-okay. I'll walk..."
"No, I insist!"
After going back and forth for a while, I finally give in and let her take me home. Ebony and Shadow decide to go home too so they come along.
We all go into the car and drive off.
"Where to, (Y/N)?"
"The park where we met up. It's only a block away from my home."
"Why don't I just take you straight to your front door?
"B-Because...um..."
"Let me just see your house!"
Seeing that I'm in no shape to argue with her, I give in.
Again.
"F-Fine..."
I tell her the address and she starts driving.
A small car ride later, we arrive at my house. I grab my bags, get out, and wave goodbye to them before entering the house. PJ's sitting on the couch, on his phone.
Bunny's POV
I watch (Y/N) walk into the house. I was about to drive off when I see someone through the window in front of the house.
PJ!?
Is she dating him!?
Why is she living there with him!?
Was she lying to me!?
More questions pop up in my head as I let out a small angry grumble.
"What's wrong, Bunny?" Ebony asks from behind me.
"Look in the window."
She turns her head towards the window and looks stunned.
"..."
"Yeah!"

BRUHHHHHHHHHHH
Thank you so much for everything that you do, fellow readers!
I didn't think that I'd accomplish 1K readers in just 4 months!
Getting 1K reads as a first-time author just gives me a feeling that I can't describe (Something along the lines of euphoric and a little bit of pride)!
It may not seem like a big deal to some people but it is for me!
My final words here are
Thank you so much for reading!
(And I hope you liked this chapter)
Word count: 2099 words (including A/N)
