When the couple walked out, their appearance was—to say the least—messy. Jude snorted while the others stared at him. William, on the other hand, paid no attention, typing on his phone, boredom clear on his features.
“Wow,” Parker blinked. “You guys seriously went all out, didn’t you? I’m glad this was Seven Minutes and not more.”
(I think I’m dying)
Amber cleared her throat and walked back to her seat, her cheeks flushed a crimson red. She sat on her hands, chewing on her still-swollen lower lip.
"Yeah, yeah… It's my turn to pick someone next, right?" she asked, her eyes meeting Jace's.
Jace nodded.
“Go right ahead, Amber.”
"Okay. Well, then… I pick Savannah," Amber declared with a smirk in her friend's direction.
“Hm…” Parker leaned back, trying to think of who to send before he turned to his other boys. “What do you say, guys? Besides Jace and Holden, who should we send?”
“Drew!” Jace called out with a laugh. “Let’s send dear dad this time.”
Drew shot a look at Jace before sighing.
“You guys are so troublesome…” he groaned.
Savannah sighed and stood, making her way to the closet. "Okay. Let's see about this, then."
Drew stood up and made his way inside the closet, leaning against it and waiting for Savannah.
When both of them were inside, he sighed.
“Okay, there’s absolutely nothing I want to do,” he said to her. “So might as well spend these minutes doing whatever.”
Savannah chuckled a little. “Yeah… Honestly, I wasn’t planning on doing anything, either. Maybe we could just talk or something?”
Drew glanced up, though he couldn’t see her. “Talk about what? There has to be a specific topic, you know.
The rest of the party went on in much the same way as it had been. The girls got a ride home from one of the guys who hadn’t been drinking — but if you asked them which one, they would tell you that they couldn’t remember who.
Now, it was about a week later, on a Saturday morning. Amber was in her room, giving her hair for the date she was going on with Jace. She couldn’t wipe the smile off of her face from how excited she was.
Jace was such a nice guy. They’d taken to eating lunch together when their schedules allowed it, and they often passed each other in the halls on the way to class.
Jace was looking forward to his date with Amber. They had practice today, but nothing he couldn’t skip, right? His teammates would understand. Besides, it wasn’t like he was the main player. They wouldn’t need him yet.
Amber was beautiful both inside and out, Jace decided. She was funny, nice, and quite amusing. She was different from all the other girls he’d met.
Him and his girlfriend decided to meet up where they were going, and Jace was excited to see her. How would she be dressed up for today? He couldn’t wait.
Amber pulled her black leather jacket on over her red blouse before checking her looknin the mirror. She adjusted some of her necklaces, tucked a stand of hair back in place, and smiled at her appearance. She thought looked good, so she could only hope that Jace agreed.
A while later, she pulled up to the movie theatre. They’d decided on simply seeing a movie for their first real date — she wasn’t counting the kiss in the closet — so it would hopefully go well.

When Jace saw her, he burst out into a grin. Walking over to her, he rested his hands on her waist and gave her a small kiss on the nose.
“You look beautiful,” he told her with a smile. “Ready for our first date that doesn’t count making out in the closet?
Amber chuckled, scrunching yo her nose at the kiss. “Don’t remind me… I still can’t believe I drank as much as I did that night. But, yes, please. Let’s go inside and see that movie.”
Jace linked their fingers together, laughing, pulling her inside the theater.
“You’re a cute drunk,” he grinned. “So I would have you drunk anytime. Especially if it means you’ll end up kissing me.”
“Oh, hush. I would kiss you anyway,” Amber declared, rolling her eyes. She glanced over at him and shot him a small smirk.
Jace whistled, pulling her close so he could wrap his arm around her shoulders.
“Does that mean if I ask, you’ll kiss me?” He gave her a hopeful look. “I haven’t kissed you in like, forever, Amber.”
Amber shrugged, leaning into him when he wrapped his arm around her. “Possibly… But maybe we should wait until after the movie,” she teased with a chuckle.
Jace pouted.
“You’re so cruel,” he sighed. “But alas, what can I say? Can’t wait for the movie to finish already.”
Amber laughed and nudged him playfully. “C’mon, let’s go get popcorn and snacks. I’m hungry.”
Jace’s laughter joined hers, and he began to lead her towards the snack bar.
“So, do you want to get two separate popcorns, or should we share?” He asked her, though he already knew her answer. “And what drink would you like?”
“Hm… We can share, as long as we get a large,” Amber mused, her gaze flickering over the menu above them. “An Icee sounds good right now. The blue is my favorite.”
Jace smiled at her before turning to the employee. “We’d like a large bag of popcorn, a blue Icee and a coke.”
The employee nodded and quickly grabbed a large bag, pouring fresh popcorn into it and then getting started on their drinks. Once she was done, he set everything on the counter. Jace paid, grabbed the drinks and then looked at Amber.
“Mind holding the popcorn?” He questioned with a smile. “C’mon, hurry, the movie should be starting soon.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Amber chuckled, scooping the popcorn into her arms. “I can’t wait to see this. I’ve been wanting to for a while now, but I just never found the time.”
