Bailey's pov
Both Mira and I stared at Katrina, but both of us with different expression. Mine was doubt while Mira looked confused.
" What do you mean by that Kat?" Mira questioned, her eyes darting between Katrina and me.
Katrina sighed. " It's just.....
She trailed off and looked away from me to fix her gaze on Mira. " I think we judge Kaleb a bit too much. Maybe he isn't going to sleep with Juliet. Maybe he's dropping her off because she's crazy drunk. She did drink a lot Mira. And maybe, just maybe Kaleb is not in love with her anymore. There's a possibility he can fall in love with someone else."
She then turn to me, making me swallow. " Right Bailey? There's a possibility?"
I glanced at Mira, hating that Kat put me on the spot like that. Seeing Mira's eyes narrow on me, I shrugged and acted indifferent. " I don't know Kat, once a player, always a player."
Mira clapped. " See!" She cheered, pointing at me. " I know I can always count on Bailey to see through my brother's bullshit. Kaleb is a manwhore and I don't think he has it in him to even settle for anyone. He'll sleep around even when with Juliet."

If I could go back, I would have changed things around. I wouldn't have gone to the party he was hosting. Nor enter his room. I would've-
" Is this a bet Mira?" Katrina snorted.
Mira shrugged. " If you want it to be, I'm giving a hundred bucks to Stefan, it would be nice to earn it back."
Kat narrowed her eyes. " I would't be so sure you'd win Mira. I have a feeling that Kaleb will fall in love with one girl and settle down, if he isn't already." Kat snuck a quick glance at me.
I hugged myself awkwardly.
Mira didn't notice the look Kat sent my way and smirked. " Okay then let us bet miss Kat. Whoever loses gives the other one hundred dollars."
Katrina raised a brow. " Let's make it two hundred dollars."
Mira tilted her head and looked a bit shocked. " You sure you're willing to lose that much money Katrina?"
Katrina is now the one to hold a smirk on her face. " That's the thing Mira, I know I won't lose. But you'll just have to wait and see for yourself."
Mira snorted. " I know my brother more than anyone."
Katrina giggled. " Right." Kat looks over at me and smirked.
" Who do you think will win the bet Bailey? Do you think Kaleb will fall in love-
I shook my head. Why did they have to bring me into this. " Love isn't in Kaleb's vocubulary."
Katrina lifts one brow mockingly. " Then it's in yours."
I choked on my spit and Mira rushes to pat my back.
" I'm fine." I coughed, slightly glaring at Katrina who had the biggest satisfied grin on her face.
" I'm done with this party. I'm going to head on out Mira, sorry but I don't feel like it anymore." All I want to do right now was take a much needed nap. Too much had happened in just a day, barely a day.
Mira pouts and grabs my arm. " But can't you stay for just another thirty minutes until we're done with the game?"
Kat and I looked at each other in horror, already knowing that she was going to force us to play whatever game she was talking about.
" Game? Mira what game are you talking about?" I hissed lowly. I just wanted to go home.
Katrina glares at her. " What are you trying to push us into this time Mira."
Mira gave us a sheepish smile. " Okay, so I kind of made another bet with Ryan-
Katrina and I groaned.
Mira pouts. " Come on guys, you know he's a dick and I love to see him lose-
" Right," Kat cut in sarcastically. " Is that why you left with him earlier?"
Mira stuttered, her face flushing. "Whatever you are thinking, get it out of your head Katrina! Right now, get it out of your head." She faked shivered and run her hand through her hair.
Katrina snorted and I bit my lip to not smile. Something was certainly going on between Ryan and Mira. I couldn't hold back my smile anymore.
But the smile slips from my face when I realize at least they can be open about it seeing as Kaleb never warned Ryan off Mira. I mean, I don't think he did.
But if Mira were to find out about Kaleb and I-
I swallowed.
" It's seriously not what you're thinking. Me and Ryan." She shivered in fake disgust. " I rather kiss a toad."
" Then you two will be known as the princess and the frog." Katrina snorted, making Mira scowl at her.
" Shut up Kat," Mira grumble, yet her flustered face showed that she enjoyed being poked at. " Look, as I was saying before being rudely interrupted," she gave Kat a pointed look. " I made a bet with Ryan. Just a tiny bitty one."
Kat folded her arms and popped her hip. " If it's so small, you play it yourself and leave Bailey and me out of it."
Mira pouted. " Come on guys, we girls gotta stick together. I'd do it for you!"
I nearly snorted at her trying to guilt trip us.
" What game is it Mira?" Katrina sighed.
Mira winced. " Truth or dare."
Both Kat and I widened our eyes in surprise. Those truth and dare games here were not simple games. They were always extra and more on the crazy side.
Why would Mira make a bet on this?
We can't possibly play this.
Mira gave us puppy dog eyes and whined. " Come on, for only thirty minutes. If we can do this, he'd give us each fifty bucks."
Katrina shook her head, clicking her tongue. " It's always money with you Mira."
Mira shrugged. " Well I'm saving up for a new screen projector for our movie nights. The least you can do is help me get the money girl."
Katrina sighed and looked over at me. " What do you think Bailey? Should we?"
I looked at Mira and furrowed my brows in thought. The way these guys play it should be illegal but it would only be for thirty minutes. Besides, I do not think they'd choose me.
I nod. " Okay. But only for thirty minutes."
Little did I know, I'd be making the biggest mistake of my life.
