never have i ever

The sophomore girls gather around the bed

Plopping onto the furry pillows

And dragging up beanbag chairs. 

The middle of the three girls nested on the queen-sized bed asks

\"Can we play never have I ever?\" 

A chorus of squeals go around the room 

A unanimous vote of agreement. 

Five fingers go up and the girl by the head of the bed says 

\"Never have I ever been treated badly by an ex.\"

Next the girl in the bright blue beanbag says

\"Never have I ever been preyed upon.\" 

The girl in the hanging egg chair adds 

\"Never have I ever had my heart broken.\"

The girl by the foot of the bed jumps in to say

\"Never have I ever wished I was somebody else or felt uncomfortable being myself.\" 

A quick look around the room

And the most popular girl in the school

Lounging on the mint green body pillow

Only has one finger up.
