      Spin the Bottle

      It wasn’t even my idea to play spin the bottle. No one understood why Emma was so determined to play because it would result in her boyfriend, Aaron, kissing someone else.

      No way, she said. When Aaron spins, the bottle will always come back to me. Then it’ll show that we were really meant to be together, right hon?

The boy-to-girl ratio was uneven—there were more boys than girls—so it wasn’t like there would be an even number of boys for the girls to kiss and girls for the boys to kiss.

      I definitely didn’t want to be backed into that, but more on that in a second.

      There aren’t enough girls for the boys to kiss, Aaron said. How’s that gonna work?

      Oh, don’t worry, Emma said. "If the bottle
