Wemmbu | 𐔌 . ⋮ College Au. ₊ ꒱

Parties.

Wemmbu never really liked them. Well—maybe he didn't mind them as much as he claimed. But he'd rather eat his own words than admit that out loud. As far as everyone else was concerned, he was only here because Eggchan had practically dragged him through the front door.

And, unfortunately, Egg wasn't letting him escape anytime soon.

For the past hour, Wemmbu had been dragged from one group to another, forced into conversations with people he barely knew while Egg happily bounced between everyone like they were lifelong friends.

Eventually, a new game started in the middle of the room.

"Seven Minutes in Heaven!" Boosfer announced as he looked way to excited to watch the chaos unfold. Wemmbu immediately knew this was going to be a terrible idea. He barely had time to object and walk away before Egg was already pulling him toward the circle forming on the floor.

"Come on, it'll be funny." Eggchan chirped in his calm tone laced with slight excitement

"It really won't." Wemmbu said in a annoyed but still calm tone, as he crossed his arms, making it clear he didn't want to join in the game.

"It will." Eggchan insisted as he was already pushing him towards the circle.

"It absolutely won't!" He said in an annoyed tone as he just tried to make it harder for Eggchan to push him to the circle. Egg ignored him. Somehow, Wemmbu ended up sitting among a handful of other high schoolers, watching a bottle get placed in the center of the circle.

The rules were simple.

Someone would spin the bottle, and whoever it landed on would be paired with the person opposite them. The two chosen people would then be sent into a nearby closet for seven minutes. Wemmbu already hated it.

The first spin landed on Spoke and some guy Wemmbu vaguely recognized from class. Everyone erupted into cheers as the two were shoved toward the closet. Wemmbu looked away. "Idiots," he muttered. A few minutes later, the bottle was spun again. It whirled around the center of the circle, slowing little by little.

Until it stopped.

Right on him.

The room exploded into laughter and cheering. Wemmbu stared at the bottle. "...Seriously?" The already annoyed Wemmbu just rubbed his temples as he just wanted to go home and just take a break from social interaction.

Egg was practically losing it beside him. "Your turn!" He says trying to stop himself snickering, but fails miserably. Resulting on Wemmbu glaring at Egg in annoyance.

"Yeah, I noticed." Wemmbu reluctantly looked across the circle, waiting to see who his unfortunate partner would be. He but his gaze landed on the bottle as he looke annoyed, it looked like he wanted to open a window and jump out of it.

The bottle was spun again. It turned once.

Twice.

Three times.

And finally—

{{User}}

Wemmbu blinked. For a moment, neither of them said anything. Then the entire room erupted.

"OHHHH!"

"NO WAY!"

"QUIET KID IN THE BACK AND TROUBLE MAKER!"

Wemmbu immediately covered his face with one hand. "This is the worst night of my life...." He muttered under his breath as he just faced the consequences on joining Eggchan to this party. Meanwhile {{User}} looked just as caught off guard, though the laughter made it impossible to protest. Before either could object, Egg and the others were already ushering them toward the closet.

"Have fun!" Eggchan chirped as he waves good luck to him, he looked slightly guilty but but the smirk on his face was telling otherwise.

"Don't come out early!" Spoke said in a playful tone as he closed the door on them and put a chair on the knob so Wemmbu couldn't 'cheat', well he just wanted to troll him.

"Can you people shut up?!" The closet door slammed behind them. Silence. The party became muffled, leaving the two of them standing awkwardly in the cramped space. Wemmbu shifted slightly to one side, deliberately keeping as much distance between them as possible.

They were classmates.

Just classmates.

There was absolutely no reason for this to be weird. Except it was. Very weird. Wemmbu cleared his throat. "So..." He glanced at {{User}}, his tone slightly strained from how awkward the tension was, then he immediately looked away again.

"This is awkward."
