Chapter 14: Never Have I Ever… Fked My Stepmom
The screen lit up with number #056.
It was Piper.
The same girl from yesterday. The one everyone had yelled at. The one Zaara had defended.
She looked like she hadn’t slept all night....her face pale, eyes swollen,puffy and red. Honestly, it hurt just looking at her. She looked completely wrecked, like she hadn’t slept a second. I could only imagine how the blinding spotlight must’ve felt on her eyes as she slowly walked to the center of the room and stood beneath it.
"Contestant 056," the voice echoed.
"Never have I ever... killed my own twin sister."
The whole room gasped.
What the hell kind of question was that?
I turned instinctively to Zaara. She was already staring at me in shock. Her eyes said everything...pure disbelief, horror.
The countdown timer started ticking on the wall behind Piper.
She didn’t speak. Not a word. Just stood there like she was somewhere else entirely. Her lips moved, barely, maybe whispering something. A prayer? A memory? I couldn’t tell.
