You lost, you knew the cost

Everyone stared at me, the guys were all smiling looking dumb and speechless as I held up my one finger signifying my check mark. “Well well... seems I broke the new kid.” Sony flashed an evil smirk as I breathe in and drop my check mark. The room was filled with Oooh! and plenty of What?! as everyone laughed and cheered on, a number of guys patting me on the back and giving me a thumbs up or props. I looked over at Sony who lifted her legs off me and sat up, Carl being quick to grab the mug and hand it to me. “You gotta do it man.” He added, smiling. Oscar kept shaking his head with Gabi besides me cupping her mouth and Ivan and Nick laughing away. “Damn it, gimme that.” “Yo, about how many shots are in that?” Oscar asked with the biggest smile on his face. “I don’t know man I think like... ten?” “Maybe give him a break this time since he’s new to the party, let him take half the glass instead.” Sony offered. I guess she did have a heart underneath that skull on her chest. “Ahhhhh it’s only fair guys.” Nick added with Gabi nodding her head. “What? Bullshit, he lost he has to drink!” Lisa pointed out with Jasmine and Yvonne agreeing. “Can I say something? I did have about five shots before this game, if I drink what-ten shots mixed in this? I’ll probably just collapse afterwards.” I explained sheepishly. “It’s true, we watched him do it with Jimmy if you want proof.” Nick added. “Ughhh!” Yvonne rolled her eyes. “Just cuz he’s new and he’s already had five, doesn’t excuse him. He took a chance like the rest of us did, he just got unlucky.” “Too bad.” Bill shrugged. “You lost the game, you pay the price.” Ted grinned.

“Alright then. Down the hatch.” I breathed in and pressed the glass against my lips, raising the mug and feeling the liquid filled with a strong burning taste. Don’t think just drink! Don’t think just drink! I closed my eyes and continued gulping down as the audience around me yelled and cheered me on. Soon their cheers turned to warnings, I opened my eyes and saw Gabi shaking her head. “That’s good, you’re good! You’re done!” Oh shit!

I put the mug down and coughed hard, sitting back down on the couch as everyone laughed. “Damn bro, you drank it all in one go!” Oscar shouted at me. “Ah fuck, we were telling you to slow down champ.” Nick said as he patted me in the back. Sony was laughing softly. “Okay... ugh. I wanna hurl.” I rubbed my eyes. “Yea you’re gunna feel like that for a while. Start the timer boys, let’s see how long he lasts.” Ted chuckles as Billy nods. “Okay, start over boys. New marks, everyone has three marks again. Ready? Who did we leave on.” Oscar asks with Sony raising her hand. “Alright, round 2 everyone! Remember, one mark isn’t just adding a shot, it’s losing a piece of clothing too.” “Which reminds me, New kid?” Jasmine grins. “Aw gimme a break.” I chuckle and sit up, taking off my shirt. “Woooooo!” Yvonne and Jasmine both giggle with Sony placing her feet back on my legs again. “Don’t worry kid, you’re not the first new kid I’ve broken before.” “First?”
