I never thought breaking curfew would lead to me breaking rules I never knew existed. At Saint Daria’s Academy, nothing ever happened past lights out. Except when it did. It started when my roommate Zinzi found a pack of contraband red wine gums hidden inside the hollow base of her trunk. They weren’t mine, but I didn’t say a word. That night, she pulled me and our floor prefect, Neo, under her blanket with a flashlight, whispering like we were ten year olds again. “Wanna try something?” Zinzi asked, her lips already stained with sugar. Neo rolled her eyes. “You two are going to get us expelled.” Zinzi grinned. “Only if we get caught.” The Dare It started with a game. Truth or Dare. Whispered questions. Risky answers. Dares that made us shiver not from cold but from something else.
