At Rock Valley High, there was nothing quite so deadly serious as a game of
truth or dare. Reputations were built or buried on such things. It was a
tradition at the end of summer tryouts for the athletics teams to gather on the
beach at the nearby lake. Eventually, once the party got crazy enough,
someone would suggest the game and like wildfire it would spread.
The
brave would take front and center. People like me would usually
conveniently disappear in the bathhouse or back to our cars. But not today.
Today, I had a target on my back.
I was the only senior in all of history to try out for the Rock Valley
cheerleading team.
“All right, skanks, who’s next?” My utterly gorgeous and equally evil
cousin, Savannah Keys, strode barefoot in the sand. Her long brunette hair
flowed perfectly in the gentle breeze behind her as if she were Beyonce at
Coachella. She had razor sharp talons, blue eyes, red lips, and a spattering of
freckles across her nose.
I couldn’t brush off the bit of jealousy I felt whenever we were together.
Savannah and my mother had inherited my Grandma Ivy’s good looks. The
very same good looks that had made her into a Hollywood starlet back in the
day. Me? I got my ruddy brown curls, dark brown eyes, and lack of grace
from my dad’s side of the family. My lying, cheating, and newly remarried
dad. Lucky me.
“Audrey Black, truth or dare?”
I flinched when I heard my name come out of her mouth. It shouldn’t
have been a surprise. She was captain of the cheerleading team and spitting
mad that I was encroaching on her territory this year. She’d insisted that I be
present at all team events, including this one. Of course, she’d take it out on
me at the end of a massively exhausting week of try outs.
“Um…”
My gaze wandered over the heads of the people sitting in the sand, their
attention on me. A bonfire shot out sparks in the middle of the crowd, smoke
billowing up toward the dark summer sky. My two best friends were
watching me on the other side. Trina and Mandy made jerky hand
movements, their faces trying to impart some kind of advice. My brow
wrinkled as I cocked my head to one side and tried to translate.
“Ugh, get on with it already, recruit,” Savannah spat, looking down at her
blood red nails as if she’d like to cut me with them. “It’s not rocket science.”
A smattering of laughter followed her insult. I felt my cheeks burn as I
took a deep breath and blurted out, “Dare!”
From the defeated expressions on my friends’ faces, I knew I’d picked
wrong. Savannah’s face lit up, her eyes glittering with anticipated cruelty. I
sunk into myself, wrapping my arms around my torso, and waited for the
pitch. Maybe she’d make me eat a mud pie again like she did when we were
five years old. I could handle that one.
“Let me see…” She prowled through the people sitting at her feet, her
steely eyes never leaving my face. “What should I make you do, recruit? You
are aware that if you chicken out, you get cut from the team? You can’t run
from tradition.”
