“I’m so bored. There’s nothing to do. All that’s on the TV is friggen Spice Girls special and you have to PAY for the porno. Damn,” I whined, pacing around the room.

“Why don’t you go and see Olivia and make your own?” Scott said, rolling his eyes. Is he serious?

“Um, no that’s ok. I’m not quite sure that my skinny white ass would look good on a video tape,” I said, getting up and looking in the mini bar for a coke.

“Well, then just go see what she’s doing cause you’re annoying the hell out of me,” Scott said, turning the page of his magazine.

“Good idea. Ok, bye,” I left the room and walked down the hall in my flannel pj pants.

“Hello? Anybody home?” I said, knocking on the door. The light was out, but what the hell. I had nothing to do.

“Who is it?” Sara called.

“It’s Clint. Is Olivia sleeping?” I shouted through the door.

“Not anymore,” Olivia said, getting up and opening the door.

“Hey. I was bored, thought I would come see you,” I said, giving her a winning smile.

“Oh, ok. Come on in. I don’t really need sleep anyway,” She said. I grabbed her and kissed her in the dark.

“Hi Clint,” Sara said, turning on the bed light. Oh fuck, she’s still here.

“Hey Sara, whatcha been doing?” I said, sitting down on Liv’s bed.

“Well, I was trying to sleep. But that’s a thing of the past,” She said, getting up to the bathroom.

“Oh, I’ve been meaning to tell you,” I started, trying to think of something to get her to leave. “You know, Bob?”

“Quite well actually, better than you think,” She said through the door.

“Oh, well, it wasn’t all his fault, the whole ultimatum thing. Becca told him that girls liked to be told what to do. He was so disillusioned with just getting you back that he took the advice,” I said, trying to get her attention. She came out of the bathroom and looked at me.

“Why would Rebecca do something like that?” She asked.

“Because she wanted you two apart so she could have Bob,” I said. Sara’s mouth dropped.

“Bob would have waited forever for you. He never did anything with Rebecca, he didn’t want to lose you, even the dim hope of getting you back,” I said, hoping it would work.

“He’s been really distraught about the whole thing. Maybe you should go talk to him, go work things out,” I said, dropping hints.

“Yeah, ok,” She said, fixing her hair. She turned around and looked at me.

“You know, Clint. You could have just told me to leave,” She said. Damn.

“Yeah I know, but this is better,” I said, pushing her to the door.

BOB

There was a knock at the door.

“Yeah, who is it?” Dave called.

“It’s Sara. Can I see Bob?” She called through the door. Is this some kind of trick? Is she returning something of mine?

Sara came in and smiled weakly at me. “Hi,” She said.

“Uh, hi. What are you doing here?” I asked her, confused.

“Well, Clint is taking over my room, so I figured I’d come to talk to you,” She said, sitting down on the edge of my bed.

“Ok. About what?” I asked.

“About Rebecca,” She said. Oh shit, she found out about the kiss.

“What about her?” I squeaked. Damn puberty.

“She was the one who made you act so stupid. She wanted to break us up so she could have you,” Sara said. Oh, good I hope that’s all she knows.

“Yeah, although I didn’t find out those were her intentions until after we were broken up,” I said, putting my book in the night table drawer.

“Yeah. Well, I think we have some things to talk about, and if it’s ok with you I’d like to talk to you about them,” She said. Um, was that a pick up line?

“Sure,” I said. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dave sitting quietly in a chair, watching us.

“Dave, go see Nattie.” I said.

“She’s probably sleeping right now, I don’t want to wake her. Besides, this is much more entertaining,” He said, smirking.

“Well, I don’t want to be food for your perverse fantasies. Go see Nati,” Sara said, pointing to the door.

“Fine, fine,” He said, getting up and leaving the room.

“Now what were we discussing?”

KATE

“Nati get the damn door. It’s Dave probably,” I mumbled. Only he would wake us up.

Natalia opened the door. “Hi,” She said. He smiled.

“Sara and Bob are making up in room, they didn’t want me there,” Dave said.

“You’re not wanted here either!” I said, putting a pillow over my head.

“Don’t listen to her, she’s PMSing,” She said. I threw a pillow at Nati’s head. Yes, direct hit.

“God Kate. Just go to sleep or something ok?” She said, giving me back the pillow.

“How can I with all you TALKING?” I shouted.

“Hey Kate, go see Scott. He wants to make some of his dreams come true,” Dave said, smirking.

“No, I have the courtesy not to wake people up in the middle of the night,” I said, growling.

“Nope, he’s awake. Clint’s in Liv’s room, Sara’s in my room, and I’m in your room, so that means you have to finish the chain and leave,” He said.

“Oh, fuck you all,” I said, getting out of bed and stumbling into the hall. I hope you two are happy.

I walked down the hall, looking and feeling like shit. Oh well, Scott’s gonna have to get used to this.

“Scott?” I called through the door.

“He’s down the hall,” Scott called, opening the door. I fell into his arms.

“I’m tired, cold, and kicked out of my room. I brought my pillow with me and that means I’m sleeping in here,” I said, as he helped me into his bed with him.

“Here, I’m not sure what’s in Clint’s bed and I don’t want to find out. Mine’s pretty clean,” He said as he pulled the covers over me.

“Thank you Scott,” I said as I drifted off to sleep.

CLINT

“Bye Liv,” I said, kissing her one last time. It must have been two hours since I left Scott’s room. I went down the hall, yawning. I bumped into Sara, who was on her way back to her room.

“Ah, well, hello. Have a good night?” I asked her.

“Go to bed Clint,” She said, walking down the hall. I intend to.

I went up to my door and turned the handle. It wouldn’t open. Oh Fuck. I’m locked out.

“Hey, Clint. What’s the matter?” Dave said, coming back from Nati’s room.

“I’m locked out. Scott’s in there, but he’s probably sleeping and he’d kick my ass if I woke him right now. I’m gonna stay in your room,” I said, following him in.

“Well, good luck trying to find someplace to sleep,” He said. The room was littered with papers, clothing, and trash. I tensed up.

“Don’t you clean in here?” I said, stepping over a pile of dirty boxers.

“Um, not lately,” Bob said. I didn’t think so.

“Ok, well, I’m gonna sleep on the couch,” I said.

“Good luck finding a spot,” Dave called, shutting the door to the bedroom. I tossed the stuff off the couch, threw a blanket over me and tried to fall asleep.

NATALIA

Where the hell is Kate? I looked around the room and she wasn’t in her bed or in the bathroom. Umm, okay. I knocked on the door that joined my room with Sara and Liv’s room.

“What do you want?” Olivia asked, half asleep, as she opened the door.

“Is Kate in there with you two?” I asked them.

“No, why would she be in here?” Liv said, walking back over to her bed.

“Well, she’s not in our room,” I told them.

“Maybe she went to get some breakfast or something, you know she gets up early,” Sara said walking out of the bathroom.

“I doubt it she usually leaves a note or wakes me up before she goes, just to piss me off,” I said.

“Well, she was there last night. Where could she have gone?” Liv asked.

“No she wasn’t. I told her to go to Scott’s room,” I told them. Uh what did I do?

“Why would you tell her to do something like that?” Sara asked.

“Well, Dave showed up because of you Sara and she was being a bitch so I told her to go see Scott,” I explained. Why the hell didn’t she come back?

“Nati? Where are you?” Kate called from our room. She walked through the door into the room. “Oh here you are.”

My mouth dropped. She was showered and dressed in one of Scott’s shirts. “What the hell are you wearing Kate?” I asked.

She looked down at her shirt. “Oh this is Scott’s he let me borrow it. I wasn’t going to get back into my pajamas.”

Sara was holding in laughter. Olivia looked content for some odd reason; she’s not the only one screwing around now. I just stood there trying to make sense of everything. Kate and I went back into our room. I started sifting through clothing. When I turned around there was Scott.

“Damn it you scared me half to death, Scott,” I said walking to the bathroom.

“Hey Kate, you left this in my room,” He said holding up a pillow.

“Oh okay. And Scott,” She started.

“Yeah?”

“Thanks,” She smiled. Did I miss something?

SARA

“Uh Liv,” I called walking out of the bathroom.

“What?” She asked.

“Is there supposed to be water coming out of the light in the bathroom?” I asked.

“What?!” She yelled coming over to the bathroom. We looked up at the light that had water dripping from it.

“We better call the front desk and tell them,” She said walking over to the phone. Within minutes, there was a repairman at the door, and Frank was with him. I guess they had called him. There were now sparks coming from the ceiling. The man made a phone call.

“Okay, we found out the people above you had their toilet overflow due to some problem with ice or something. So you girls should move out of this room for the night. It should be fixed by tomorrow.” He explained.

“Umm, okay, where are we gonna go?” Olivia asked. Good question.

“The hotel said they’d put you in another room for the night a few floors up, free of charge,” He said.

“No don’t worry about it, girls you can just stay with Kate and Natalia, you don’t mind do you? We’d rather you stay on this floor,” Frank said.

“No problem, Frank,” I said. Liv and I started packing stuff for a night and went over to the other room.

“Hey guys,” Kate said flipping through channels on the TV.

“Hey, where should we put our stuff?” Liv asked.

“Anywhere, you’re only gonna be here for a night so don’t worry about it,” Nati informed us. We put our bags next to the bed and sat down.

“So, what do you guys want to do now?” I asked. I was already bored today just sitting around with Liv in my room and even after our bathroom problems I was still going stir crazy.

“I dunno, but I’m so bored,” Kate whined.

“Yeah, me too,” Liv agreed.

“Let’s crank call the boys,” Nati suggested.

“Yeah!” Kate yelled.

“Oh god, you guys grow up,” I said, rolling my eyes.

“What are we gonna say?” Olivia asked.

“Kate do your valley girl voice, pretend to be a fan and call for Scott,” Nati said. Oh they are so lame.

Kate put the phone on speaker and dialed the number. “Hello?” Scott voice rang through the room.

“Oh my god, Is this Scott Moffatt!?” Kate yelled.

“Where’d you get this number? Clint how many phone numbers did you hand out at the last concert?” Scott asked.

“I’m talking to the Moffatts!!!!!! AHHHHH!!! I’m going to faint. Scott I love you soooo much!!” Kate screamed but burst out laughing during her last word. Nati was on the floor laughing. Liv was stifling her laughter. I admit I even laughed a little.

“Who is this?” He asked, confused.

“Hi y’all it’s Britney, sweetie, don’t ya remember me?” Kate said in her southern accent. We lost Nati; she’s rolling around laughing.

“Oh shut up, Kate,” Scott said. No one said anything; we were all laughing too hard.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

“Oh just crank calling every teenybopper band we know,” Nati said.

“Why don’t you guys come on over, you seem just as bored as us,” He said.

“Okay, we’ll see y’all in a few minutes,” Kate said still talking in her accent.

“Whatever, bye,” Scott said hanging up the phone.

BOB

“Hey the girls are coming over for some fun,” Scott said as he hung up the phone.

“Oh well that’s good. I’m bored out of my mind,” Clint said.

“You can go clean our room,” I told him.

“No way Bob. I’m afraid of what I would find crawling around in there,” Clint said, making a face.

“Whatever,” I said, rolling my eyes. I like my room; it’s lived in.

We heard voices outside the door. “That must be them,” Scott said, opening the door.

“Hi,” They said in unison. Oh god, that was cheesy. But boredom makes you do stupid things.

“What’s up?” Clint said.

“I’m good,” Natalia said. Kate burst out laughing.

“Um, I don’t get it,” Dave said. I don’t think you’re supposed to.

“So we are here, now what? Just gonna sit around talking?” Olivia asked.

“You know what we haven’t played in a long long time guys?” Kate said. Oh no.

“Truth or Dave,” Natalia said, putting her hair behind her ears.

“What?? I was thinking more along the lines of Truth or Dare. But hey, whatever floats your boat,” Kate said. Natalia was laughing uncontrollably.

“Oops, sorry. Freudian slip,” Nati said.

“Yeah right,” Clint said, rolling his eyes. Dave wasn’t laughing.

“Ok, so who wants to start?” Sara asked.

“I will,” said Natalia. “I’ve been keeping this in mind for weeks. Scott, truth or dare?”

“Dare, of course.”

“So cocky. Ok, I dare you to sing for us,” Natalia said with a smirk.

“What kind of a dare is that? We sing for you every night!” Scott said.

“Oh, but you haven’t heard the rest yet. You get to sing ‘I Think She Likes Me’,” Natalia said with a grin. Kate fell on the floor laughing. Oh shit.

“Where the hell did you find out about that?” Scott said, a little pale.

“I think she likes me, and I know I like her, it’s kinda frightening, but it’s too soon to be sure...” Natalia and Kate sang together in fake country voices.

“No, I’m not singing that shit,” Scott said.

“Why? Can’t hit the notes anymore Scott?” Kate said.

“Fine, I’ll sing it. Damn you,” Scott said with a scowl. He sang the song, much to the delightment of Kate, Sara, Nati and Liv.

“I’m never singing that again. It was slow torture,” Scott said, sitting back down next to Kate.

“Aww poor Scotty,” Clint said. Oh, he’s going down. No one calls Scott Scotty and gets away with it.

“Ok, Clinty-poo, truth or dare?” Scott said with evil in his eyes.

“Truth. I ain’t singing shit like that,” Clint said.

“Ok, when was the last time you got some?” Scott asked. Olivia glared at him.

“Last night, around 12:30,” Clint said matter-of-factly. Olivia turned bright red, but didn’t say anything. She just sat there, gripping Clint’s hand a little tighter.

“Ok. My turn. Kate, truth or dare.”

“Truth,” Kate said.

“Are you gonna sue Scott for statutory rape or is he gonna get away with it this time?” Clint asked her. Oh god, had to go there, didn’t he?

“What the hell are you talking about?” Kate asked, shaking her head.

“He’s 18, you are only 17. You know it is illegal,” Clint said.

“What are you getting at?” Kate asked him.

“Last night! I was locked out of the room, and you were in there. Don’t tell me nothing happened,” Clint said, folding his arms.

“Nothing happened though! I just slept with him! No, I mean, we slept together in the bed. Wait, No! I mean your bed was dirty and I was tired so we slept in the same bed, but nothing happened,” Kate said, flustered.

“Did you guys think we slept together?” Scott asked us. Um...

“Well, you have to admit, it was screwwy. Kate coming back to the room wearing your shirt. She said she didn’t want to get back into her pjs,” Nati said.

“After taking a shower moron!” Kate said, throwing a pillow at Nati.

“Oh, well we know that now,” She said, chucking it back at her.

“Right. Ok, well, Sara, truth or dare?”

“Truth.”

“Tell me, do you think it was enough just slapping Rebecca across the face, or should I have kicked her ass?” Kate asked Sara. She did WHAT? I didn’t hear this part.

“Ahh, kicked her ass. Next question,” Sara said, not blinking an eye.

Nati started cracking up. “Go Kate, oh yeah. That bitch got what she deserved.”

“Well when she told me she tried to kiss Bob I had to do something. It just happened to be violent,” Kate said, laughing. KATE!! RUN!!

“She did what?” Sara said, looking at me. Oh well, my life was good while it lasted.

“Don’t worry, he didn’t do anything. She was whining about how he was so dedicated to you it made her sick,” Kate said, fixing the problem. That’s better.

“Oh, ok,” Sara said. “My turn. Natalia truth or dare?”.

“Dare.”

“Oh, this has got to be good,” Sara said. “Kate, help me,” They talked for a second and then turned back to Nati.

“I dare you to do whatever it takes to arouse Dave,” She said with a smile.

Dave looked at her. “Me?!” He squeaked.

“Yes, well who else?” Kate said.

“Oh god, do I have to do it here?” Natalia said.

“No, we’re hoping you don’t,” Sara said.

“You’re really going to?” Dave asked her.

“A dare’s a dare. Come on,” She said, grabbing his hand and taking him into the bathroom.
