Truth or Dare?
Gemini's POV
It was supposed to be a lovely afternoon. The bros were chilling and having a great time until Leo accidentally soaked Scorpio with my coffee. What he ended up with was a punch in the stomach. Ouch.
After the entire day of school, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Taurus and Aquarius decided to go to my room and hang out. What could possibly go wrong?
The lights are off and the windows are shut. Breezes of cold wind leak through its small gaps, surrounding us with their freezing air. All of our eyes look still in anticipation as we watch the small ring spinning endlessly on the blank screen.
Actually, anticipation isn't the word I'm looking for...
To be honest, I am super frustrated right now. Why? It's because everyone's in my room, all readied for the bros night, but the iPad decided NOT to cooperate with me and it won't let me play ANYTHING on Netflix!
Anger builds up in me like a wall of fire as I watch the screen continues to load its never coming movie. We've been waiting for an hour, and my patience has reached its limits.
Ugh! I swear if no one is in my room, I would've thrown this stupid apple product on the wall and crush it into tiny, little pieces!
WHY!? Just, WHY!?!?!!?!?
I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself. If I have to vent, this wouldn't the best place. Now, my mind is telling me to ask Aquarius for help, so I turn my head to the technician.
"Aquarius, you study CT, right? Can you fix that?" I ask, almost like begging, a child begging his mom to buy candies.
Aquarius sighs in frustration. Since his core elective is CT- Computer Technology. He could fix that! Right?
"I told you, no! The internet's too slow! There's nothing I can do about that!" he adds, "Besides, the school's wifi has shut down. I'm pretty sure you won't have enough data for the movie."
All of us are disappointed. No Netflix, no bro nights. This is going to be a bore...
"Welp, that's a bummer. I guess I'm going back to my room then." Taurus stands up from the floor. "Come on, Sadge. Let's go." she adds.
Sagittarius looks around and frowns. As if she's looking for something. Then, her eyes twinkle with delight, "Hey guys, don't be sad! We can still play games, right? Something like... Truth or Dare?" she asks enthusiastically.
Everyone's face immediately lights up. A game of truth or dare sounds excellent to me!
The best part is... I got to dare anyone to do anything I want...
I can't wait for it to start!
"Awesome! Hit me with the dares!" Leo cries excitedly, a wide grin formed on his face.
Taurus smirks, her mischievous eyes flash dangerously, as if an alarm signaling its danger, "Don't blame me if they are too extreme." she warns.
"Bring it on!"

"Okay, Gemini! Truth or dare?"
I take a quick gaze at Leo, his pair of dark eyes look at me dangerously, with his lips smirks so widely as if it'd break his face. That face with his messy blond locks, it kinda reminds me of a lion.
A hungry lion, to be exact.
"Dare." I reply confidently.
Yeah, it's just a dare! He'd probably just tell me to do something stupid and call it a day. Besides, I'M the prankster here, what worse dare he could give me?
Besides, doing a dare is better than revealing a secret, am I right?
(You have no idea how many times I've heard people asking other's passwords in a Truth or Dare game, and I'm not going to risk that.)
"I dare you to..." Leo continues the drag on the sentence. Trying to be dramatic, I guess.
"Come on, Leo. We're waiting." Aries says impatiently, which I can't agree more.
"FLIRT WITH CAPRICORN!" Leo cries. Finally finishing his sentence. He jumps from the ground and pokes my nose with an exaggerating pose. Likes he's an anime character.
What now? Is he ten years old? Even kids won't do that at that age!
Besides, FLIRT WITH CAPRICORN!?!?!? He's gonna be kidding me. He KNOWS Capricorn hates my guts!
Taurus tenses up, he eyes are widened in shock as she stares at Leo. "Bad idea, Leo." she shakes her head in disapproval and looks at Aquarius as if she's asking for his approval.
"Yeah." Aquarius agrees, "He's not into that kind of stuff." his voice is deepened and monotonic. Knowing him, this has to be serious.
Everyone stares at Leo, waiting for him to make the decision. Out of everyone, mine's probably the most intense. 'Cause let's be real, this can decide my fate...
Aw, come on! Leo's not the only one who can be dramatic here!!!
Leo seems to notice my stare and he smirks. Which I can tell his answer without him saying it...
"But that wouldn't be fun, isn't it?" he shrugs, leaving his arms wide open like they are a scale.
Bingo. That sneaky dude...
But there's no point refusing, won't it?
I don't want to do it. My mind is screaming with refusion and questions as I pull out my phone and type Capricorn's number.
I better make it funny so I won't regret it.
He picks up. His voice greets blandly and waits for my response. I can hear the sound of a pen writing vigorously in the background. Probably cramming for whatever test he'll have. Seriously, does this guy ever take a break?
I inhale a deep breath, calming down the little voices in my head as I talk to my not-so-friendly acquaintance in the most dramatic possible, "Capricorn, my man! What'cha doing there, handsome? Your cleverness certainly CAPtivated me. Your-"
BEEP!
He hangs up. The phone quickly shifts back to my main screen as a burst of laughter explodes behind me. Out of all of them, Leo's is the loudest. He laughs and holds his stomach like it's hurting him. I swear, this has to be one of the most humiliating dare I've ever done. Don't get me wrong, I am fine with a little flirting, okay? They're fine! But to Capricorn? Ugh! He already thinks I'm stupid, I can't let him think I'm even more stupid! Now he must be thinking I'm drunk or something...
I laugh along at first, just to be polite, then an idea appears in my mind, a perfect comeback. I can't help but smirk at the thought and wait for the laughter to die down.
Harsh, maybe. It really it depends on her. But is it worth the try? Absolutely!
"Alright, Leo! Now's my turn!" I sneer, failing to conceal the excitement inside me. "Truth or Dare!"
"Dare!"
I don't care if the teachers could hear me. All I care about is the face he'd make when he hears this. Call this a little revenge on him.
What is it? Am I being mean to my best friend? Eh, you girls won't understand. :P
"I dare you to go out on a date with Scorpio!"
