Another one?
The morning sun burned her eyes, it was definitely brighter than usual. Birds were singing beautifully outside, perched on trees but to Lena it sounded like pure torture, their annoying cries made her consider murdering someone. She groaned loudly and shifted in bed, shutting her eyes again.
“Lena” someone softly whispered her name.
“Hmm?” she opened her eyes slowly and came face to face with Kara.
Kara brushed a strand of hair out of Lena’s face. “Are you ok?”
The brunette took a deep breath. “Yeah, hungover but.. I’m okay”
Kara offered the girl a small smile. “Well, you can sleep in today if you’d like”
Lena sat up in bed, smoothing her hair with her fingers. Kara sat down on the edge of her bed and waited for any signs that she remembered the night before.
“Thank you” Kara quirked an eyebrow and tilted her head in confusion. “For last night I mean”
Kara smiled. “Do you remember what happened?”
Lena squinted, deep in thought and tried to remember something, anything from last night. But there was nothing there, nothing full, the memories were stored away.
“I only remember everything up until I got drunk, everything else is a blank”
The cheerleader's face fell and she nodded, fidgeting with her hands in her lap.
“Oh god, please don’t tell me I did anything stupid. I didn’t...kiss anyone or anything?” Lena looked mortified and Kara hid her frown, looking away.
“No. I took you back here after you got drunk” she said barely above a whisper. Lena looked up at the tinge of disappointment in Kara’s voice. Kara’s posture drooped and there was a hint of a frown tugging at the corner of her lips.
“So, are you coming to breakfast?” The blonde asked, looking up. Her voice wavered as she tried to control her emotions.
Kara flashed a bright smile but her sad blue eyes betrayed her. The cheerleader was obviously sad, and hiding why. Lena raised an eyebrow but decided it was best left alone.
“Sure”

Lucy gripped one end of her spoon and angled the other towards an unsuspecting Winn. Kara furrowed her brow and watched as Lucy released it and sent a glob of butter flying at high speeds towards the boy. The glob found it’s mark on Winns forehead and he yelped at the sudden feeling of something slimy dripping down his face.
“Hey!”
Lucy didn’t bother hiding her laugh and her face turned red as she doubled over, holding her stomach. Winn glared at her and wiped his face, groaning at the sticky mess. Alex high fived Lucy over the the table and joined her as they laughed and laughed much to Winn’s embarrassment.
Kara and Lena grinned and shook their heads at the groups shenanigans before stuffing their faces with pancakes.
Two minutes later and Lena let out a loud burp, turning beet red as she excused herself back in line for a second helping.
“Whoa you're done already?” Kara raised an eyebrow at Lena’s bare plate that use to have five pancakes stacked on top.
Alex snorted. “What? Mad because for once some else is the human vacuum”
“Hey!” The girls protested in unison.
The brunette mumbled something as she walked away.
The cafeteria was quiet early in the morning and it felt peacful. That is until Kara's thoughts drifted to the previous night. The cheerleader scooted over and sat next to Lucy, leaning into her ear.
“Lucy I have to tell you something but you can’t tell Alex, or Winn...or James...or anyone”
Lucy grinned and signaled for Kara to continue. Alex eyed them carefully and Kara offered her a nervous smile before turning back to the brunette.
“Okay so after your party yesterday, I took Lena back to our dorm and…” Kara hesitated.
Lucy rolled her eyes “Yes?”
“And shekissedme”
Lucy tilted her head in surprise. “It sounds a whole lot like you said that she kissed you”
Kara looked to the side and spotted Lena heading back to the table with a new plate in hand. The blonde panicked.
“She did! But… she doesn’t remember now and I don’t know how to feel!” she frantically whispered.
“Damn, we’ll talk later”
Breakfast went by slowly, Kara was noticeably awkward towards Lena every time the brunette tried to start a conversation.
“Hey, so any plans for today?” Lena played with her food and looked up at Kara through her eyelashes. The cheerleader swallowed and laughed nervously.
“Um no, there’s nothing to do really”
Everyone felt the tension in the cafeteria as Lena watched Kara carefully. The blonde was hiding something and Lena had a feeling it had to do with the previous night. She let it go for now and smiled.
“Well, I’m sure we can think of something”
Alex coughed at Lena’s flirtatious tone and glared at the brunette with a look that said, ‘Don’t try anything Luthor’
Lena glared back and shook her head silently, sucking on her teeth. She was well aware that everyone could see her attraction to the cheerleader, except for the cheerleader. But things seemed different now.
Kara realized she had been acting strange and shook any thought of the kiss away, willing herself to forget it completely. Lena had been drunk and not thinking clearly last night. And there was no way someone as gorgeous as Lena was interested in her. She let out a small laugh at the thought, shaking her head and looking down at the floor.
“Alright, what do you guys want to do?”
___________________________________________________________________
“Okay so the game is simple. You’ve all played before but this time we’re going to make it a little fun and drink before we play! Except for Kara” Alex rubbed her hands together.
“I’m almost 18”
“Almost babe, plus you're not even the drinking type so what do you care?” Lucy sat down next to Kara on the couch.
Kara mumbled something under her breath, she wasn’t opposed to the idea since drinking had never been an interest of hers but she couldn't help but argue.
Alex pulled out a bottle of alcohol that Kara couldn't identify, because again, she didn't drink.
“Where did you get that?” Winn whispered despite being in Alex’s dorm where no one would hear them anyways.
Lucy coughed, “I got it actually. Don’t look at me like that Schott, I have my ways”
Alex poured several drinks and everyone excluding Kara reached out to grab one. Lena sniffed it and made a face before downing the shot in one gulp.
“Damn that was fast” Lucy chimed in before drinking her own.
Winn examined the glass carefully and smelled the drink, peering inside the cup.
Maggie came out from the bathroom, “You gonna drink that Winn, or should I?” she teased. The boy grumbled something and drank it quickly.
“Alright, you guys can drink up to 20 and no more unless you want a killer hangover”
As expected, Lena finished drinking her twenty first, followed by Lucy, Maggie, Alex and Winn. Kara crossed her arms and watched in amusement.
“Okay bitches” Lucy held her hand to her chest, looking over at Winn. “And man...bitch er whatever”
Alex frowned, blinking quickly and trying to focus. Maggie sat on her girlfriends lap and wrapped an arm around Alex’s waist.
“Mmm k so this is just simple truth or dare, you guys...know how to play. I’ll start” The oldest Danvers slurred, hiccuping.
“Truth or Dare Danvers?”
Maggie raised an eyebrow at Alex and waited. “Dare”
“I dare you to… run in the hallways and knock on everyone’s door and then run back”
“Damn” Lucy whistled.
Alex stood up, moving Maggie to the side. She opened the door and stopped at the entrance to shake her nerves off. The group lined up at the door and watched as Alex frantically ran between dorms, quickly knocking twice on all of the doors.
They broke into a fit of giggles and Alex bolted back to her dorm, jumping inside and closing the door quickly. An orchestra of several doors being swung opened erupted from the halls. Every one stifled their laughter and Kara rolled her eyes as her sister leaned against the door and pumped a triumphant fist in the air.
The game went by fast and so far Maggie confessed to having a fear of Monkeys, Lucy reluctantly licked the bottom of Alex’s shoe, and Winn prank called Headmistress Grant.
“Hello?”
“Hi, um is your refrigerator running?”
“Who is this?”
“Well you better go catch it”
Cat rolled her eyes.
“I don’t have time for this. Now I’ll ask one more time, who is this?”
“Uh I don’t know” Winn slurred, offering a goofy grin at the phone.
“Is that you Wit? Or is it Wick? I can recognize your voice. Are you drunk? You're calling me while drunk? Oh you little-”
Winn hung up quickly, eyes wide as the group laughed at his expense.
“Kara, oh little cheerleader Kara. You have yet to go” Lucy teased.
Maggie nodded in agreement “Mmm hmm, Truth or Dare, Little Danvers”
“Umm..Dare?” Kara observed Maggie and watched as the girl smiled evilly, she might as well have been rubbing her hands together and laughing maniacally.
“I. Dare. You. To…” Kara held her breath and glared at her sister's girlfriend. “Kiss Lena”
‘Shit, oh shit’
“I..uh…” Kara turned as red as a tomato and gaped towards Lena, expecting the brunette to fuss or complain but she was met instead with a pair of lips on her own. Lena gripped Kara’s shirt and pulled her into a searing kiss. She slipped her tongue into Kara’s mouth and sucked on the cheerleader tongue. Kara held back a moan at the warm sensation of Lena’s soft lips on her own.
Several moments later when they pulled away in need for air, Karas senses finally caught up and she could hear the audible gasps and giggles of the group around them. The two girls took a look at each other and Kara noted how Lena was missing most of her red lipstick. Their lips were swollen and hair was ruffled.
“Um..I-uh. Who’s turn is it now?” she asked sheepishly.
_____________________________________________________________________
“Hey um...I’m sorry about last night… if it made you feel uncomfortable. You know the dare. She kind of put us both on the spot and I just.. You know. And I was pretty drunk”
Lena bit her lip and looked down at her boots, refusing to look at Kara directly as they got ready for school. If she had been looking she would’ve seen the disappointment on Kara’s face.
“No, it’s fine. I know why you did it. It was just a silly dare.” The cheerleader cleared her throat and slipped her shirt over her head.
Kara silently cursed her inability to just come clean, to admit her feelings that she was now certain she had.
Twice! Twice she had kissed Lena and twice she shrugged it off. Kara scolded herself for thinking even for a moment that Lena returned her feelings. Lena had just confirmed herself that the reasoning behind the kiss was that she was drunk, and that cancels out the last two kisses.
Kara snorted, pulling her sweatshirt on and gathering her books for school.
