It was a good sight right now. Everyone around her was participating in the game. She had to remember to thank Tony for jumping into the water because the sudden idea appeared to have everyone opening up a little to the people around them. If not a little hostile from what she could hear from Yolanda's tone of voice. Nonetheless, Claire smiled at Colline. Colline was a very pretty girl, and Claire wondered if many people had told her that. Probably not due to the shyness she exhibited in front of her. Then again, Claire wondered if that was a fair judgment. Tough thing judging people, she's spent a lifetime doing it and had to remember to try and not to.

But, number one rule when dealing with someone who acts a bit shy. Don't call them out on it. There is no quicker way to annoy a shy person than making them self-conscious and calling them shy. Everyone hates being defined. Claire had to agree with that. Why couldn't people be who they want to be without the fear of social repercussions? 

At this point, Claire smiled back at Colline. "Hey Colline, I'm Claire as you already know. Nice to meet you! You're very pretty. Sorry, I just had to tell you." And now to get to the game. Colline appeared nervous about starting, especially when she said she's not a good liar. That was probably true considering her tone of voice. So, Claire decided she would start.

"That's fine, it's still hard to spot a lie. So, here goes. I'll start." Claire began to think. Then the light bulb went on.

"I'm a potential alcoholic. I live in a foster home. And, I hate my parents." Whoa. Things just got real. Claire didn't know why she said those things, but there it was. Just playing a game, or some form of anger that flickered out of her mouth. A subtle bitterness. Not the easiest three things to guess for Colline. 

The smile returned to Claire's face. Poker face was on. It's game time.
