Character profile - Poppy
A very bright, gifted girl, a real geek complete with glasses. She is the top of her class for every subject and her parents are obsessed with extracurricular activities to stretch and challenge her to be ready for the top 6th form and universities in future. Poppy is somewhat highly strung, rule bound and struggles to make friends. She now rarely spends time with her best friend Oliver (or Olly) due to her parents' strict study regime. The board game club was their cheat code, a way to complete an extracurricular activity while really just hanging out with her friend. Secretly she resents the restrictive nature of her life and yearns for more free time to just enjoy herself like a normal teenager.
Does Poppy have a crush on Oliver? Even she’s not sure, but her self confidence is so low that it doesn't even cross her mind that any boy her age could fancy her. She paranoid about her short height and lack of curves. Her self-image isn’t helped by the constant teasing from other girls in her class, the latest joke she looks like a year 7 (11 year old) and they pretend not to know her asking if she’s lost or needs any help.
Poppy is 5 foot and not many inches to spare, skinny but with flawless pale skin. She wears oversized glasses, her hair is always neat in a short soft bob cut. Her uniform is always immaculate, although a little oversized in the blazer with her not quite growing into her new one. She is one of the few girls to wear her skirt the appropriate knee length and always wears tights underneath unless it’s a particularly hot summer's day.
Turn 3 - First Kisses and first exposure
Thursday rolled around quickly and Poppy and Oliver were the first to arrive for the club at lunch time. They had brought a pack-lunch so didn’t need to queue up to get anything from the canteen. This gave them twenty minutes alone to play a game of 7 wonders dual. The card game was entertaining enough but it was clear both had thoughts elsewhere thinking about the dare game.
Neither had seen Sienna walk bare foot into history class the day before but they’d heard about it. The blond girl had earned herself an earful from the impatient teacher but luckily had skipped out on a detention.
“Wat-up bitches!” exclaimed Immogen bursting through the door a slice of Pizza held in each hand.
“I don’t think you're allowed food in the classrooms” said Poppy automatically although she had the decency to blush when Imogen just gave her a flat look.
“Probably not but it’s probably also against the rules to play a dare game with potential nudity involved too” the perky girl just laughed stuffing her face with Pizza.
“I mean she does have you there Pops” Oliver smirked as he friend only blushed more.
“I know, sorry, it just slipped out” Poppy said looking down feeling foolish.
“No worries,” said Immy between very unladylike bites.
With half an hour still left for lunch the rest of the gang appeared with minor pleasantries. The game was set back up and odd excited yet nervous anticipation fell over the group.
Dice and card draw for turn.
Oliver - 2 (9) -
Poppy - 6 (9)
Imogen - 2 (8)
Callum - 5 (10)
Sienna - 2 (7)
Oliver rolled first moving him from space 7 to 9. Poppy rolled next this time rolling a 6 getting her out of last place. This move however landed her straight on top of Oliver. Both stared at each other for a shocked moment. The moment was broken by Imogen cheering. “DUAL DARE DUAL DARE”
She picked up a card turning it over slowly as the two shyer teens could only watch on nervously. “Boo! Only a kiss! Go on then you love birds kissy kissy” Immy laughed getting a few giggles from the other two.
4-7 - Both players kiss on lips
They both stared at each other, eyes locking a tense moment as blushes burned on each others cheeky. Neither could speak. The other three players looked at each other sharing a look of knowing and amusement.
“Erm…are .. you ok with this Poppy?” Oliver said nervously. It was out of character to use her full name and Poppy merely adjusted her glasses that had steamed up slightly as she looked down at the table.
“Yea it’s only a kiss” she said trying to keep the stammer out of her own voice.
Olly’s mind buzzed, only a kiss? Had she kissed lots of boys before? Surely he would have known… he had never actually kissed a girl before unless you counted the time when he was 9 behind the bushes when then girl told him to shut his eyes, surely that didn’t count.
“Want some chapstick?” Immy offered Poppy passing her a selection of novelty soda flavors from her pencil case, a real lack of actual stationary was apparent as the geeky girl looked at the offering.
Brain fuzzing Poppy absentmindedly took a cola one applying it to delay the reality of the dare. This was also out of character as she would normally have been concerned about germs and sharing something that had been on another girl's lips. Kissing her best friend, her first kiss! Did she always hope it was with Olly? She tried to remember. Everything was so confusing since she’s become a teenager, although puberty hadn’t hit her hard in the looks or growing department it had done a number on despises and feelings.
Time seemed to slow as they leaned over, eyes shut just before lips met, an audience of cheering teenagers. “Woooo!” They laughed as their lips met. The kiss lasted a second, then two, three, four…” Both had frozen, the warm meeting their lips pleasant and intimate for two who had harboured secret feelings for a long time. The kiss ended, Poppy turned away embarrassed, wiping her glasses as the other girls giggled at her reaction and Oliver stayed frozen a grin on his face.
“Ok love birds lets get on with this”. Sienna laughed picking up the dice to move herself. Both blushed at that but they tried to play it off as totally normal, a simple kiss.
Imogen rolled a 2 moving her onto space 8 and callum a 5 moving him onto space 10 letting him choose someone to do a dare.
“Ok how about…” His eyes flitted to Sienna, the lovely blond would be a perfect target to do a naughty dare but she shot him a look and he thought better of it.
“Ok Poppy then since you're nearest to me” he said finally. This ignored Oliver but he would rather have seen a girl even Poppy do a potentially embarrassing dare.
Poppy snapped out of her shock from the kiss and nervously reached for a card.
A - Answer a truth
“A truth, boring.” said Callum disappointed. “Ok erm let me think…so who was your first kiss?”
“Pfft what are we 10?” Laughed Imogen at the question. Callum blushed at this, it was al he could think of to ask the shy geeky girl in the moment.
All eyes turned back to poppy who had frozen blushing. “Eerrrm”
“It was Olly” she said quietly. The room went silent. Until of course Imogen broke it like a sledgehammer through a window.
“Oooh Juicy so you two make a habit of kissing then? No wonder you had this club all to yourself” The others laughed it off knowing the two had been friends for a long time so assuming another dare game or childish bet when they were younger.
Oliver simply stared, Poppy wouldn’t meet his eye but he knew that that meant he was her first kiss and in all honesty she was his, he refused to count his cousin Betty surprise kiss!.
To round out the turn Sienna draw a 2 moving her to space 8 leaving all players close together and all the game to play for. Everyone draw a new card for the dare for the round and this time it was Sienna to get a dare.
“I’m not turning up to class barefoot” again the blond said dryly.
Smirking, she reached down to draw the dare.
8 - Undress - Draw Clothes card
6 - Top lifted up
“Ooooh now it’s getting good!” Laughed Imogen jumping up from her seat. “Gotta lift your shirt up and let us see your lovelies.”
Sienna paused, blushing slightly but this was well hidden by her make up. She had not exactly planned to show her classmates her bra but she knew it would both make her look weak and seriously impact her ability to win the game if she took a penalty.
Both boys had gone silent eyes now on the blond girl. This was the moment of truth would someone actually undress, even partially in school or was this game doomed from the start.
“Fine” Sienna said coldly. She took off her blazer and started to pull her her white school shirt, first untucking it form her skirt and then revealing her bare stomach and belly button. She hadn’t thought this through and her fairly considerable chest stopped it from being an easy flash. Sighing she unbuttoned the shirt up to her bra and was able to lift it up.
The boys were rewarded with a pale pink bra and some impressive cleavage. She wasn’t overly large but on her fairly slim frame and the slight boostage the push up bra gave her they looked massive.
“Woooweee” Immy cheered as they all stared at the semi undressed schoolgirl in the middle of a classroom.
Sienna blushed, pulling a sulky face not quite believing what she had let Immy get her involved with. Two of the geekest students in the school, a try hard wannabe bad boy and the most annoying girl she knew were looking at her private chest. The dare hadn’t said she couldn't cover up so once the shirt was above her chest she rested one arm across somewhat shielding herself from exposure but still feeling very vulnerable.
Immy gave a wolfwhistle making the blond girl roll her eyes but smile. Imogen always had a way of diffusing a situation.
“Right enough show, keep it in your knickers” Sienna announced pushing Immy back into her chair as she was pretending (or really it was hard to tell) lean over to perv on her up close.
