making out.”
    “Deal,” I say.
    The three of us take a seat back in the circle.
    Jace’s turn is next, and my stomach churns with butterflies again. I really don’t want him to kiss anybody else.
    The bottle slows down, and my heart beats hard as it makes it comes to a stop.
    Lexie.
    She jumps out of her seat and leans close to Jace, but he pushes her away with his arm.
    “I’m not kissing you, Lexie. Sorry.” Jace pulls his shirt over his head. I see the hurt look on Lexie’s face, but she quickly plays it off.
    My eyes land on Jace’s chest.
    Oh my God.
    He. Is. Hot.
    I reach my hand out and run it over his chest and down his stomach.
    I lean closer and whisper in his ear. “Is it bad that I’m thinking how much I want to lick you right now?”
    I hear Trey clear his throat, but I ignore him.
    Jace grins at my words. “Baby, I can’t wait.”
    I kiss his lips quickly, and then sit back in my spot. I definitely do not want a repeat of what just happened with Trey.
    “Wow, Madi. You were so holding back,” Landry says. “When you get bored of Jace, call me.”
    I roll my eyes at Landry. “It’s not going to happen.”
    I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. At the same time, three other phones go off. I don’t have to look up to know that it’s Hayden, Frannie, and Cassidy’s phones. The four of us all pull out our phones.

    Blocked ID: Hmm… I’m bored… Let’s play truth or dare!

    “This game sucks,” Frannie says. “Let’s place Truth or Dare.”
    “Fun!” Amber, a girl on the cheerleading squad, says enthusiastically.
    My phone vibrates again.

    Blocked ID: You go first. This one is for Frannie. She will pick truth. Ask her if she really wanted to kiss Jace.

    I frown but look at Frannie.
    “Truth or dare, Fran?”
    She looks at her phone, and her face pales. “Truth.”
    “Tell the truth, did you really want to kiss Jace? Or did you turn him down for my benefit?”
    “I’ve always thought Jace was hot,” Frannie answers. She has a pleading look on her face. “A few months ago, I hit on him at a party when I was drunk. I knew you had a crush on him, but I didn’t care. I propositioned him. But he turned me down and told me that he was in love with you.”
    With that, Frannie runs up the stairs.
    Eff.
    I want to run after her, but my phone vibrates.

    Blocked ID: Don’t chase after her.

    Oh my God.
    The person is in this room right now.
    I glance around the room to see if anybody is on their phone. I see about ten people on their phones. That doesn’t narrow it down at all .
    “Madi, truth or dare?” Hayden asks me.
    My phone vibrates.

    Blocked ID: Pick truth. And tell the truth. I know.

    “Truth,” I say, feeling nervous.
    “Be honest, are you sad that Daisy is missing?”
    Eff.
    “It sucks that Daisy is missing. She doesn’t deserve it. But I’m not sad. I don’t miss her,” I answer, honestly. “She made my life a living hell.”
    A few people gasp and a murmur goes through the room.
    “Shut up,” Hayden tells everybody. “Daisy was mean to us all, but she was the worst to Madi. We all know it. We also all know that Madi would never do anything to hurt anybody . So if you have anything to say, don’t be whispering it. Say it to me. Now.”
    The whole room falls quiet.
    “That’s what I thought,” she says.
    I love Hayden.
    “You know what, we’re done,” Trey says. “Whoever the fuck is messing with my sister… when I find out who you are, I will kill you.”
    Trey starts walking up the stairs. Jace grabs my hand, and we follow him up.
    I can’t believe Trey just did that. I love him for standing up for me, but I also hate it. Whoever this person messing with me is, they’re obviously screwed up. What if they decide to go after him because of that?
    “Why the hell did you just do that?” I ask him when we reach the top of the stairs.
    “Because, I can’t take it anymore. This person is just torturing you,” he answers. “We are
