"Ok so, Sammy, truth or dare?" I asked with a smile. "Uh, dare!" Sammy replied, smiling bravely. "I dare you to do a handstand," I said with a smirk, assuming she couldn't do that. Sammy grinned and stood up before performing a perfect handstand, laughing at mine and Brooklynn's shocked expressions. "What, did you think I couldn't do it?" Sammy questioned me. "Well... Yeah-" I replied, scratching my neck. Sammy shook her head, chuckling and Brooklynn gave me a look. "Truth or dare, Kiara?" She asked. I feel like Brooklynn would have some sort of crazy and super weird truth question ready for me so I chose dare.
"I pick dare," I said. Brooklynn smirked mischievously and I then realised she had WANTED me to choose dare. "I dare you to go to the boy's dorm and tell Darius to meet you outside just before curfew," She declared, crossing her arms as Sammy 'oohed' in response. "You can't dare me to do that!" I retorted, my cheeks burning from embarrassment. "Yes I can, I just did. Go on Kiara," Brooklynn said with a smile. I groaned and got up, leaving our dorm and heading towards the boy's one. Even though this was a dare, I could make something out of it. We could talk about dinosaurs and do something enjoyable!
I knocked on the door and Kenji and Darius replied. "Come in." I opened the door and stepped inside. "Hey, Darius? Can I talk to you, in the corridor?" I asked as Kenji stared at me suspiciously."Oh, sure," He said, climbing down from his bunk and making his way over to me. I closed the door and began to speak. "I really enjoyed hearing your campfire story earlier and I was wondering if you would like to chill on the balcony tomorrow?" Darius smiled kindly. "Sure, that sounds like a lot of fun! Do you mean in the morning or?" He replied as I began to smile. "A bit before curfew. I think talking in the dark fits us!" I responded.
"I agree," He said, the both of us laughing lightly. "Goodnight Kiara," Darius said, waving as he opened the door to the boy's dorm. "Goodnight Darius," I replied, waving back with a smile. I turned around and made my way to the girl's dorm and sat beside Brooklynn and Sammy. "So, how did it go?" Brooklynn asked, sniggering. "It went nicely if you really need to know," I said, giving her a look. "You like him, right?" Brooklynn asked. I went red and glared at her. "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't like him like that! We're just friends," I retorted as Sammy grinned. "Aww, you're even blushing!" She gushed, nudging my arm.
"Why else would you be snuggling together in a dark room?" Brooklynn went on, waggling her finger in my face. "Actually, he was trying to finish the story that you guys couldn't be bothered to pay attention to! And it was a really good story," I retorted. "Alright, alright! I believe you. Anyways, it's your turn now," Brooklynn said, still giggling. I sighed. "Truth or dare?" I asked her. "Truth," She replied immediately. "Remember, this is because I'm nice," I warned. "Who is your favourite musical artist or band?" I questioned as Brooklynn's face went blank. I suppose she thought I would ask who she liked.
"Um... Maybe BTS? I made a vlog with them when they were on tour," She replied hesitantly. "Why such a boring question though?" Brooklynn asked, staring at me questioningly. I shrugged my shoulders. "I like music, nothing to it. Just, curious." Brooklynn looked at me with a lopsided smile before turning to Sammy. "Alright, truth or dare Sammy?" She asked, grinning. "Truth seeing as I've already chosen a dare," Sammy replied cheerfully. "Have you ever had a crush on someone before and if so, what was it like?" Brooklynn asked, her mischievous smirk replacing her smile. Sammy shook her head, her cheeks going a light pink.
"It was a girl in elementary school, she was in my class. I liked her for about a month but she kept ignoring me so I stopped liking her," Sammy informed us, sighing. "So, no recent crushes? Or any crushes you may have right now?" Brooklynn proceeded, trying to get Sammy to 'spill the tea.' "Nope, that's all I can remember!" Sammy said, brushing some of her hair out of her face with a slightly awkward expression. I had the feeling she wasn't being completely honest but that's fine. She did answer the question anyway. "Now, it's back to you Kiara!" Sammy said with an optimistic smile. "Truth or dare?" "Truth."
"How close are you to your brother?" She asked, Brooklynn looking surprised at yet another non-crush related question. "I would like to believe we are very close, ignoring all the times he annoys me or he says I annoy him," I replied with a warm smile. "But isn't it tiring at your house, dealing with him all the time?" Brooklynn asked while I shook my head. "It isn't exactly tiring but, you can think of it like me being the second mother of the house when our maids aren't there to help," I explained as they both nodded.
"My siblings never let me get any rest back home," Sammy told us, shaking her head. "Always needed help with someone, whether it's giving the animals food or cleaning their dung or even making their hair!" She beamed, "But I love them either way." As Sammy's last words left her mouth, Yasmina entered the room with a tired expression. "Don't mind me, I'm just gonna get some rest," She murmured, flopping down onto her bed and closing her eyes. "Actually, that's the right idea," Brooklynn whispered, cautious so she wouldn't disturb Yasmina.
"We should probably head to bed, though I need to finish editing my video first," She continued, getting up and making her way to her bed. Sammy and I nodded and walked to our beds, climbing up and laying down on the soft mattresses. I took my headphone out and set them to the relaxing music channel, letting my eyes slowly shut and my body relax.

I was painfully woken up by something small and cold hitting my cheek. I jolted up with a gasp, placing my hand on the spot where I was hit. I looked for what hit me and found a glass perfume bottle. Then I realised what I was hearing. Screams and grunts of frustration. I peered over my bed to see Brooklynn throwing her belongings all around the room, some of them strewn on the floor. I started to climb down and made my way over to her when she suddenly threw something over her shoulder. I failed in avoiding it and it hit me square in the face. It was one of her shoes.
"Ow!" I hissed, rubbing my face as Brooklynn took notice of me. "Can you please watch where you are throwing your things?" I asked, frowning. She seethed, a fuming look set hard on her face. "Where is it, Kiara! Did you take it?" She asked fiercely, stamping her feet "Where's what?" I asked confused. She sighed heavily, placing her hand on her hip. "My phone! I can't find it and the only people who could have taken it are you, Yasmina or Sammy!" Brooklynn yelled, roughly pushing past me to flick through my belongings that were in one of my bags. "Can you not go through my stuff, please?" I exclaimed, looking at her in annoyance.
"Wait, Sammy! She took that thing from the dinosaur... She must have realised I knew! She must have stolen it!" Brooklynn gasped in realization, her face going redder in anger. "Come on, we have to confront her right now!" She exclaimed, grabbing my arm firmly and dragging me out of the dorm. What in the world is she talking about? Sammy took something from a dinosaur? What did she even take!? And why would Sammy steal anything, she is so nice and friendly! We soon got to the common room where the others were chilling. Brooklynn threw open the doors, fuming as she finally let go of me.
I now had a bruise on my arm, thanks Brooklynn. Ben looked up from what he was drawing and Darius and Kenji stared at us with mildly surprised expressions. Yaz and Sammy were sat on the sofas and turned to us, Yasmina rolling her eyes. "Brooklynn. What's new on the internet Superstar?" She asked. Brooklynn crossed her arms and glared at Sammy who looked worried. I would be too if Brooklynn was glaring me down like that. "I wouldn't know, because when I went to get my phone from its charger, it wasn't there! Someone stole my phone!" Brooklynn hissed, her icy glare becoming more venomous as she looked past everyone and landed back on Sammy.
