"Arya." I heard, coming from someone sitting at the edge of my bed. The royal physician was there again, with a neutral expression on her face. I woke up in a few seconds, expecting the worst. "I wanted to check in with you, due to the past few events this week." "Oh. No, I'm fine, actually." I smiled, pushing back my hair. "Any explaining needed?" "Um... No. Thanks." I said quickly, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Okay. Anything else?" She asked, nearing the door. "Actually, yes. I'm feeling a bit nauseous. Do you have anything for that?" "Any specific reason why you may be feeling this way?" "I'll guess. You drank, either out of stress or some other feeling I have no knowledge about. A little bit too much, it seems. I'm assuming you have before- you were surprisingly only a bit t!psy except for some irrational decisions you made which i'm sure were because of the information you just received on call. Nick right? You two surely made up. Next time ask for a ride. " Celeste explained while walking through my room, carrying a delicate box. "Made up how?" The physician asked. "I'll take whatever." I said to the physician, completely ignoring Celeste. Celeste walked up to my bed, sat right next to me, and began brushing my hair. I watched her with a questioning expression. The brush made my hair silky and smooth, my curls perfectly shaped like hers. "I was asked to give this jewelry to you. It has rubies from Myanmar. Wear it appropriately." She said, talking the glistening jewelry out of the box and holding it up to me. "Thank you. They are so beautiful." I replied, smiling. It felt nice to be appreciated by her. "No problem, sister." Celeste replied as she got up, stumbling over the last word. Sister? She was my sister? I mean, we had some resemblance I guess. our hair was the same. we had the same fading-out eyebrows and- Celeste was my sister? I mean, I had never cared to ask her about her age or her family. I never thought of her as anything but my agent. Was she the type of sister you could talk to? The ones where you don't have to speak for them to read your mind? "Here's the medicine Arya. If the nausea lasts, please give me a call. Have a great day!" She said as she left the room, and I couldn't fight the feeling of something bad. I took my medicine, a shower, and got dressed, the feeling appearing and reappearing every second. My phone rang, and I picked up. "Hello?" "Hi." "Um, do you want to come over. To my house? I'm inviting a few of my friends and Remy too. We were going to play some card games, and stuff." "Yeah, sure." "Okay. Bye." Nick said, as he hung up. Next thing I knew, my hair was perfectly on my shoulders, my lipgloss the perfect shade, mascara perfectly applied, jewelry on point. I rushed down the stairs to ask Celeste which she agreed. Ottie drove me, remaining silent the whole time except for the occasional hum to a familiar tune in his head. And then I was at his door, and Nick was there. He smiled a horrible, exciting, lovely smile. He lead me to a game room (because people have these?) Where 5 people were sitting. I automatically recognized Remy and Alicea, the other three I had no clue. "Hi Arya!!" Remy exclaimed, and gave me a gigantic hug. She smelt like.. cologne? And I assumed the obvious. "That's Matthew, he's in my photography class." Nick said, pointing to a brown haired boy. He looked put together, and gave a tiny wave to me. Nick brushed away my hair. "He has a obvious thing for Alicea." He whispered. I stifled back a laugh and a gasp, ignoring the shiver I got with his face so close to mine. I sat down on a cushion next to Remy, who gave me a curious look. "Oh yeah. Chris is across from you, and Theo is on your right." Alicea finished for him, pointing in their direction. "Truth or dare. Theo." Remy started off. I had no idea we were playing anything, but I guess we were. "Truth?" He replied, his voice wavering. "Is it true you cheated on Mallory?" She asked, with the most innocent, doe-eyed face I had ever seen. Theo grew visibly upset. "No. Alicea. Truth or dare." He shut her down quickly, a heinous smile rising on Remy's face. "Dare. I swear if it has to do with Taylor Swif-" "Hmm.. Give me your phone." Theo said, his smile even bigger and worse then Remy's. I was starting to get kind-of scared for my turn. She unlocked her phone and handed it over. Theo opened messages and searched up someone, and began typing. He finished typing and showed everyone what he wrote. 'See you tonight!' followed up by 'Sorry, wrong number.' Addressed to her brother. (She had a brother?) "At least it doesn't have anything to do with Taylor Swift." "What is with you and your burning hatred for Taylor Swift?" Matthew asked, shaking his head. "OK. Truth or dare Arya." Alicea asked. "Truth." I said.
