Recap:

"Okay, your all set!" Biana removed the blindfold. Sophie gasped. Biana squealed. Marella hurried over. Linh covered her mouth. Keefe's eyes widened and his mouth hung agape. Fitz went beetroot red. Dex gaped at her. Tam... hid in a corner with Sandor.

"Sophie!! It's so nice!!!!!" Biana squealed.

"Trust Miss Prettypants to be able to vandalise your face till it's like that," Marella said.

Sophie looked in the mirror again. She couldn't help gasping again. She didn't know how to feel about it. "Sophie, this is totally your style!! Linh said, going over too. Sophie sighed.

"I can't wait to wash this off."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Seriously, Foster, you look good," Keefe said, trying to convince Sophie as she gobbled down the mallowmelt greedily. Sophie sighed. She was convinced that she looked like a barbie doll and that her friends were just trying to cheer her up. She vowed to pay Biana back for what she had done to her, and she knew just what to do. Sophie grinned wickedly to herself. 

"Okay, let's continue the game!" Biana announced, taking her place in the circle. "Sophie, you get to pick." 

"I choose... let's see... how about Tam?" Sophie said, trying her best not to laugh. If looks could kill, Sophie would be long dead by now. Tam gave her an evil glare as he waited for her to ask him, "Truth or dare?" 

"Truth," he said, not wanting to have to agree to any dare as he had once faced the wrath of a mallowmelt-deprived Sophie, and he was not keen on reliving that nightmare. Tam shuddered just thinking about it. 

"Tell me your biggest crush," Sophie said, trying not to laugh at the murderous look Tam was giving her. Imagine the worst glare anyone has ever given you, then x100. 

"Fine," Tam said, leaning over so he could whisper in Sophie's ear, "Biana." His voice was barely a whisper, but Sophie had heard it. 

"Oh my gosh!! You guys are totally meant for each other!! You should confess!" Sophie gushed. Keefe and Fitz raised their eyebrows at her. It wasn't like Sophie to behave like a fangirl. 

"Who is it?" Biana asked eagerly after seeing Sophie's excited face. Tam, on the other hand, looked terrified. "You are NOT going to tell anyone," he told Sophie warningly. 

"Lighten up, bangs boy!" It's just a game!" Keefe said, lightly punching Tam's arm. Tam glowered at Keefe and blended in with the shadows, clearly not wanting Sophie to tell others about his crush on Biana. 

"Anyway," Linh said, trying to help prevent her brother's secret from being spilt, "Tam gets to choose the next person for the truth or dare," 

Tam grinned. 

"Keefe, truth or dare?" Keefe paled slightly when he saw Tam's evil grin, knowing that Tam was out to get him. He pondered over his decision. If he chose truth, Tam was most likely going to make him confess something embarrassing, but if he chose dare, he was most likely going to do something scary such as shaving his head. Keefe shuddered at that thought. He loved his hair a lot, and did NOT want to part with it. Keefe decided that truth was the safer route. Not that either route was safe. 

"Truth," Keefe said, trying not to stutter. 

"Describe what your crush looks like," he said. He wasn't going to make Keefe reveal his crush. It would make everything uncomfortable for the rest of the night, and seeing as Keefe now knew that he, Tam, had a crush on someone, he doubt that the rest of the night would be drama-free. 

Keefe thought for a minute.

"Umm, she has unique looking eyes, blond hair, a petite frame, though not as petite as Marella of course, hmm, she's really beautiful, both inside and out." 

Everyone froze after he made that statement, undoubtedly trying to find out who the lucky girl was. 

"I think I know who you have a crush on," Biana finally said, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had settled over the group. It seemed that Fitz had also figured it out because he was now glaring daggers at poor Keefe. 

Sophie, however, remained her usual oblivious self. She was going over the names of blond girls in the school that Keefe may have a crush on. However, she didn't know anyone whom Keefe might know with blond hair and unique looking eyes. 'But all the elves have unique eyes,' she thought.  

"Is it--" Dex was about to say when he was cut off by Keefe, who put a hand over Dex's mouth. 

"Hey!" Dex yelled, although because his mouth was covered by Keefe's hand, it came out as "Ghvey!" 

The group tried to stifle their laughter, and Keefe rolled on the ground, trying his best not to laugh. Unfortunately, he also took his hand off from Dex's mouth, but Dex, being a good friend, didn't finish his statement from earlier. 

The game continued, and when it was Keefe's turn, he picked Tam. 

"Bangs boy." 

"Hunkyhair," Tam acknowledged curtly. 

"Truth or dare." 

Tam pondered for a second. 

"Dare," he said after contemplating his choices. 

"I dare you to kiss the girl you have a crush on on the lips while everyone else is closing their eyes except for me."
