A World Of Lies

Chapter 12

Selena's POV

Thankfully, last period went by extremely quickly, and before I knew it, the day ended.

"Vanessa! Camila! Are you ready to party?" I asked excitedly as I ran up to them when the bell rang. "You know it!" Camila exclaimed. "I'll meet you at your house later with Ashley and Demi," Vanessa said. "Sure, see you later," I told her as we parted ways and I headed with Camila to our lockers.

Lauren met the two of us at our lockers. "You ready to have some fun?" I asked Lauren. "Yeah, of course," Lauren replied. "Okay, let's head to my car and we'll head to my house," I said. "Oh, can I just follow you in my car so that we don't leave it here?" Lauren asked. "Sure," I replied.

Miley, Ashley, and Demi came up to us then. "Hey, still sorry I can't come tonight," Miley said. "Oh yeah, why can't you come?" I asked. "My sister Emily has a thing," she hesitated. "Oh okay that's cool, see you Monday," I replied with a smile.

"By the way, is it okay if I come with you now?" Demi asked. "Yes of course!" I exclaimed. "Alright, then lets get going," Demi said. "Bye girls," I waved at Miley and Ashley as the four of us headed to the parking lot.

"Should I go with Lauren or stay with you?" Camila asked me. "It's up to you," I replied. Lauren leaned to Camila's ear and whispered something to her. Camila nodded. "I'm coming with you Selena," Camila smiled.

We got to my car then. "I'll let Camila sit up front," Demi said as she winked at me. Camila sat in shot gun while I took the driver's seat and Demi sat in back. Lauren went to her car and began to follow me to my house.

The drive was fun. I blasted the radio in my red convertible and I sang with Demi. Camila didn't sing; she said she had a sore throat.

Once we got to my house, my parents were just leaving. They had trusted me home alone with my friends, as well as my older brother David and my younger brother Jake.

I headed to my room with Demi, Camila, and Lauren close behind me. We dropped our stuff then huddled around my computer to go on f*******: and take pictures with the webcam.

"Can you tell me something?" Camila asked as I logged onto f*******:. "Yeah, sure," I said. "Okay, what's f*******:?" Camila asked. Demi and I burst out laughing, thinking this was a joke.

After a moment, we realized that Camila and Lauren weren't laughing at all. Demi and I stifled our laughs as I said, "It's a social media on the Internet."

Demi leaned over to me. "Laughing at your crush, smooth," she whispered in my ear. "Shut up," I whispered back.

"Umm, someone is calling your computer," Lauren interrupted. Demi and I turned our attention to the computer to see that Ashley wanted to Skype with us.

"Hey Ashley, what's up?" Demi asked. "Hey, I'm so sorry, but I'm stuck babysitting tonight. I'm so sorry I can't come," Ashley said. "It's alright," I said. "Oh, and Vanessa wasn't feeling well today, so I don't know if she's coming," Ashley added. "Okay then," Demi said.

Right on cue, Vanessa texted me. "Hey, I have a fever, I can't come. Sorry," the text said. I rolled my eyes and told her it was okay.

"You sure you can't come, Ashley?" Demi asked. "Well hang on, my cousin could hang out with your brother, but I can't sleepover," Ashley replied. "Great, see you soon," I said. We then hung up.

The four of us took some pictures until Ashley arrived. "What do you want to do?" Demi asked as she came up to our room. "Let's prank call Ally, Normani, and Dinah," Ashley said mischievously.

Lauren's POV

I felt very uncomfortable with Ashley's suggestion. I preferred taking pictures on a computer. That was fun because I had never done that before.

"Are you sure?" I asked. "Come on, it'll be fun," Ashley insisted. "Yeah Lauren, it'll be fun," Camz whispered in my ear, clearly wanting me to go along with everybody else. "Okay, sure," I said.

With that, we closed the bedroom door and Ashley dialed Ally's number. I felt bad, so I headed to Selena's bathroom.

Once I returned, Ashley, Demi, Selena, and Camz were laughing so hard. I smiled and laughed along with them.

"So what do you want to do now?" Demi asked after everyone stopped laughing. "Well, it's right about dinner time," Selena said with a smile. "What are we having?" I asked. "We ordered some pizza," Selena with replied.

Just then, as if on cue, Selena's older brother David burst open the door. "Your pizzas are here," he said. He gave the pizza to Selena then left.

The five of us ate about three or four pieces each. I ate more in just that meal then I had all week.

As we finished the pizza, Ashley whispered something to Demi. She then said, "I'm really sorry that I can't stay any longer, but I really do have to go." With that, Ashley got her cousin and left.

"Let's play a game," Demi said after Ashley left. "What do you want to play?" Camz asked. "How about Never Have I Ever," Demi said. "What's that?" I asked.

"Never Have I Ever is a game where you say something you've never done, and we all go around saying something we've never done. Although, lets say if Selena says she's never done something that you have, you have to take a shot of alcohol," Demi said.

"Demi, come with me. We'll go get the drinks and cups," Selena said. The both of them hurried out if the room holding hands.

"Camz, I knew this was a bad idea," I whisper shouted to my sister once Demi and Selena left. "I know, but we can't just lie," Camz replied. "But they're going to ask questions because you and I both know that we've done a whole lot that normal people haven't," I countered.

"Well what do you just want to leave?" Camz asked. "Yes," I told her, as if it were obvious. "But we can't, that'll cause more questions," she pointed out. "We could say our parents want us home," I suggested. "No, Selena thinks our parents are on vacation," Camz said.

I sighed. There was really no way out of this. We were just going to have to stick through this.

Demi's POV

"Selena, when do I set up the video camera?" I asked once we securely shut the door. "Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Selena asked, "It feels wrong."

"I'm not exactly fond of doing this either, but it's what they want," I replied, referring to our other friends. "Okay fine," Selena rolled her eyes. She then got some whiskey and cups. We then headed back to her room.

"Are you girls ready?" Selena asked as we entered the room. Both Camila and Lauren nodded. "Okay then, join me on the floor," Selena said.

"Hang on, I think I dropped something in your closet," I said as I hurried over to the closet. I slightly opened the door, to see a video camera already on a stand.

Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to actually do this, but I pressed the record button anyways, then went to join the other girls.

"Oh well, it's not there. Let's start anyhow," I said with a smile. "Camila, would you like to start?" Selena asked. "Sure," Camila said.

Everyone looked at Camila attentively. I could see why Selena liked her; she was nice, friendly, funny, pretty, as well as probably smart.

"Never have I ever licked a squirrel," Camila said with a smile. "Me neither, that would be weird," Selena said. "Okay, your turn Lauren," I said.

"Well, I've never killed someone," Lauren said. "I should hope so," I joked. Lauren gave me a little smile.

"My turn!" Selena said excitedly. "Never have I ever stolen anything," she said. Lauren and Camila blushed and both drank a shot each. "You steal?" Selena asked. "We'd rather not talk about it," Lauren said.

"Okay then," I said, "Anyways, never have I ever peed in the bushes." The other three girls took shots. "Really? I'm the only one?" I asked. "I'm not proud, but my family went camping once," Selena trailed off.

For the next little while, the four of us went around saying things we had never done. Before I knew it, though, Lauren was drunk, and Camila was almost there. They had done a lot, and it was all on tape.

"Never have I ever had s*x for money," Selena said after a lot of other questions. "Okay, that's it, I'm done with this game!" Lauren shouted in a drunk voice.

Lauren threw her head to the floor. "This game is so stupid, why do you want to know all of this s**t?" she asked.

Camila turned to Selena and I. "Look, Lauren and I have a secret," she said. Her eyes were filling up with tears.

"What is it?" Selena asked. "You two can't tell anyone. Not anyone at all," she said.

I was getting an idea of what she might be telling us, but I didn't interrupt her. I just nodded. I then waited for Camila to continue.
