Teams | A Jamie Johnson FanFiction

Part 48 - The Game

"What game?" I asked cautiously, remembering Jethro's reputation.

"Not the scaring game again." Indira said quickly.

"Why not?" Dillon asked. "It's a good game."

"D'you not remember last time? You forfeited us to break into the school!?" I said, but Dillon just shrugged.

"I wasn't there so I dunno the game, but if Dillon came up with it it's probably rubbish." Jethro smirked. "Spin the bottle."

"No way." Jamie said, scoffing.

"If you're gonna be a wuss you don't have to play, do you." Jethro said, shaking his head. "So who's in?

No one responded at first, before Jamie nodded and moved closer to the circle. "Sure. I'm not scared."

A few more people moved in but I was hesitant at first. Then peer pressure consumed me as I was the last one to join.

"Okay, the rules are simple," Jethro said, taking his drinks bottle out his bag. "You spin the bottle and whoever it lands on you kiss. Or," he said with a side smile, "you tell them one thing you don't like about them. Let's find out what you all really think about each other." He said, smirking.

"Yeah good way to tear the team apart." I said sarcastically, but Jethro just put the bottle down.

"Who's first?" When no one answered, it seemed he thought it was his job to choose the first victim. "How about Jamie?"

Jamie shrugged. "Sure." I could tell he was putting on an act of being calm after Jethro said that he was scared earlier.

Jamie spun the bottle and it seemed to go on forever before it came to a halt: facing Jack.

Jethro raised his eyebrows, a smirk on his face. "So, what will it be?"

"I'm not gonna kiss her." He said, and Jethro smiled.

I thought Jack would look hurt, but her face was blank.

"Go on then Jamie. What's one thing you hate about her." Jethro said.

Jamie paused. "You can be really selfish sometimes. Especially about Phoenix and football."

"Selfish?! You have a place at Foxborough Jamie, which you've now probably lost! Some of us don't get that chance! And I'm the one bing selfish?" She exclaimed. "And guess what? Don't bother coming to Phoenix. We don't need you."

I raised my eyebrows in shock. I had no idea Jack and Jamie had fallen out this much.

"Remind me to never expect any loyalty from you." Zoe muttered, then there was a silence again as Jamie just sat back in the circle quietly.

"Well that was a good start." Jethro said, still smirking. "I'll go next."

Whilst thinking about Jack and Jamie, I wasn't even paying attention to the bottle as it spun slower and slower, until I realized it was pointing at me.

Jethro smiled, and I didn't have a time to do anything when Jamie spoke up.

"You did that on purpose! The bottle only spun once it was easy for you to make it land on Bella!" He said.

"Oooh someone's getting jealous!" Dillon exclaimed, and Zoe laughed.

"Would you have preferred it if you'd spun it to Bella, Jamie?" She and Dillon laughed, and I saw Jack shuffle in her seat, but she wasn't laughing.

"C'mon then." Jethro pressured.

"What?"

"We kiss."

"So, you don't want to tell me something you don't like about me? I'm sure there's plenty." I asked hopefully, but I knew he wasn't going to change his mind,

"No." He said, so I rolled my eyes and stood up. After we kissed, I muttered just to him so he was the only one who heard.

"I know what you're doing Jethro. Keep going like this you're not even going to have a team to play on."

He just smirked.
