Chapter 8: Girls Just Wanna' Have Fun

You're starring down at the empty bottle of Mountain Dew on the table and cannot believe your eyes.

You follow the bottle to the end, only to see that it is pointing straight at Camille.

You see Carlos and James high-five but ignore it. "Oh, shut up. It's not like you get to watch." you say before you stick out your tongue.

"Yes, but there is always the whole ear-against-the-door trick." James points out, pointing a finger towards the ceiling. You roll your eyes.

"Then I'll be sure to open the door extra quickly."

"Nu-uh-uh." he says, a smirk on his face, "You don't get to open the door. We let you out at the seven minute mark."

You look over to Camille who actually looks excited.

"Come on, _." she says, getting up from her space on the couch, "We have to at least take some of the coats out of the closet so it's not cramped for," she took a dramatic pause and looked you in the eye smiling, "whatever we decide to do in there."

You have to keep it together and try hard not to giggle because you know she's up to something. As you stand, you catch a glimpse of the pairs of wide eyes coming from the boys and the rolling ones of Jo.

If it had to be a girl, you're secretly glad it wasn't Jo. For some reason she's been giving you looks all night, causing you to believe that she wasn't as down to earth as everyone's been making her seem.

Oh well, you think, shrugging it off. You think you're hearing a whispering conversation from the boys space, something about 'making sure there was a camera in the closet?' and something else about 'being stupid' and 'forgetting.' You laugh to yourself; obviously they wouldn't have put a camera in the closet… right…?

Logan is over with Camille and you shoot him a smile as he dumps a pile of coats onto the floor. "Kay, you ladies are, woof, good."

"Woo!" Camille says, walking right into the closet. You give Logan a look. You can already see the whole woofing thing being one of those inside jokes that all of you will absolutely never forget. James leads the others over and you disappear with your friend. "Seven minutes on the clock?" you say.

"Got it!" Kendall replies.

It's dark and you search around for something and end up with your hands on the wall. "Camille?" you whisper so if James really is leaning against the door, he can't hear.

She's giggling like a mad person. "I'm here." she says, her hand gripping you on the wrist.

"So, I've know you a little while now," you start off by saying, "but even in that short amount of time, I know you well enough to know that you have devised some kind of master plan, no?"

You can almost feel her smile through the air. "You're a smart kid, _."

"Aw, Logan's not here to woof. But thank you." you reply, noticing how much you're begging to pick up that word, "Now, let me in on this so-called master plan."

Camille leans close to your ear and whispers something. When she pulls away a few minutes later, you cannot believe what she had come up with.

"You know, this is going to drive the boys CRAZY." She can't help but laugh. "I know. And the best part is that I told Jo about it earlier so she can go along with it."

You tilt your head back and smile at the ceiling, knowing that this is going to be funny.

"I can't hear anything!" James says, his right ear pressed against the wood, just as he promised. "Well try harder!" Logan argues, throwing his hands down by his side.

"Maybe they're not doing anything?" Kendall suggests.

"Oh, they're doing something." All eyes immediately go to Jo. "What choo' talkin' 'bout, Willis?" Carlos spats.

"Okay, first of all, the name's not Willis. Second of all, obviously they're doing something. I mean, guys, come on now "

"Woof. How do you know?" Logan's voice raises into something frantic after the bark.

She shrugs. "I just know things."

"But how do you 'just know' these things!" James throws himself against the door. "I. MUST. SEE. WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND THIS ACCURSED DOOR."

"James, calm yourself!" Kendall says, gripping him by a shoulder. "They only have five minutes left. I think you can handle yourself for that much longer."

James shakes his head in his hands. "I. Just. Don't. Know, Kendall. Are you sure?"

"I'm-"

"WOOF."

"Hurry up! I think we only have a few minutes left!" Camille says, ushering you along. You rip your shirt up over your head and throw it in the pile in front of you with your slippers and pants in it as well.

After a brief moment of convincing, Camille had told you about her 'master plan'. You and her would completely strip down to nothing but your underwear and when the boys opened the door? Act like absolutely nothing happened; which would be true, but it would drive them absolutely and 100% crazy not knowing.

You and her, push past the coats that were actually left in the closet and make your way to the very back. Sure enough, the door flies open without any warning and light floods the space.

"AHA!" you hear James yell, "Wait, where'd they go?"

Camille taps you on the shoulder and you know it's time to walk out.

"What do you mean 'where'd they go'!" Logan adds, pushing him out of the way.

Just then, you and Camille come out of the clothes and into the light, absolutely no expressions on your faces or showing emotions to give your trick away.

You can feel the obviousness of the boys as they look you up and down, and then again. And then a third time.

"Um…" Kendall trails off. You glance up at him. Had his eyes always been that big?

"Yeah?" you ask in a total nonchalant voice.

"Did someone turn on the ac?" Camille adds, looking up at the ceiling like she believes her own acting is real. This is just another acting gig for her and it comes naturally, but not without a little dramatic influence of course. She walks past the guys and you notice the low high-five she shoots Jo.

"Well, uh, it's, um, just that… uh…"

"You're not wearing clothes." Carlos finishes for him.

"And we're pretty sure you went in there with them on…" Logan adds. "Uh, and woof…" He almost didn't catch himself that time.

You look confused and look down at yourself. You laugh and it makes all the boys jump about ten feet in the air, like the noise has all of a sudden become foreign to them.

"Hey, Camille!" you say. "What?" she turns her head in your direction from where she is now lounging on the couch, one leg crossed over the other.

"I think we may have forgotten to put our clothes back on." She looks down at herself and laughs like a bell. "Whoops!" is all she says.

You lean back into the closet and retrieve your clothes. You didn't actually mean to, and it doesn't strike you until you're already bent over in the closet, but you're not wearing pants… and the boys are right in back of you.

You feel stares. And you also feel the sudden rush of air as Logan excuses himself to the bathroom and rushes out of the room. Even Jo, of all people, snickers at the situation.

You turn back around with both piles in your hands. With a small, knowing smile, you saunter over to Camille and the both of you start to put your clothes back on. You're assuming Kendall, Carlos, and James are still a little too stunned to speak, that is, until James yells out, "WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO IN THERE!"

You can Camille look up innocently.

"What are you talking about?" you say.

"Yeah," Camille says, "What we did in there is our business. And, I mean, it's not like you had a legitimate camera in there so you could even find out."

James slaps his forehead, Kendall looks like he honest to God wants to kill himself, and Carlos keels over onto the carpet.

You turn to finish putting your pants on and the big smile finally creeps it's way onto your face.

You really should consider acting.

After all, you sure do seem to have the whole audience reaction down.

"Alright," Camille has just finished pulling her shirt over her head when she looks to the boys. Logan is just walking back into the room. "I've been thinking, and the dares and truths we've done so far? No where near close as bad as the ones that are coming up. Come on boys, pick your jaws up off the ground and let's finish up our first round."
