Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 5

He suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing his girlfriend was still there. With a jolt, he pulled his arm away from Kate's waist and took a couple of steps back. Shawn's buddies followed his gaze and, noticing Allison, jumped in to smooth things over.

"Let's keep the fun going, shall we? Kate, if your stomach's feeling off, skip the booze. If you lose, just pick truth or dare instead."

"Sounds good. Let's go with truth or dare."

Once Shawn got a grip on his emotions, he made his way back to the couch. He figured Allison would be jealous and maybe throw a fit, but she kept quiet. Her detached attitude stirred something unsettling in Shawn. It felt like Allison was different somehow.

An awkward silence spread between them. Shawn hesitated and thought about explaining, but the group's cheers cut him off.

"Kate, you lost again. Truth or dare this time?"

Shawn's attention drifted back to Kate, his eyes glued to her.

"I choose dare," she said, turning towards Shawn with a mysterious smile.

"Alright, alright, the dares are right here. Pick one." Someone handed over a stack of cards.

Kate casually picked one. As soon as someone read it, their eyes went wide, and their gaze flitted between Kate, Shawn, and Allison.

A curious girl leaned over to peek. "What does it say?"

A gasp followed as she read the note. Everyone was buzzing with curiosity.

"What did she get?"

"Yeah, spill it!"

"Kiss a random guy in the room," announced a guy, sneaking a glance at Shawn. Shawn's face instantly turned to stone, and the room's temperature seemed to plummet.
