Chapter 1
Tris POV
I wake up this morning and check the clock in my house. It's 10am! Finally! I've turned thirteen! I'm a teenager now! My birthday party is going to be in five hours! I'm so excited, Lynn, Marlene, Shauna, Uriah, Zeke and the whole entire class is gonna be there! Uriah and I have been friends since I don't even know how long and we both promised we would choose Dauntless no matter what. Uriah has an older brother Zeke who I've had a crush on since well, I met him I guess. He always treated me as a little sister and I've respected him as an older brother but I've liked him more than that. Uriah's the only one who knows about it and I told him cuz we don't hide any secrets from each other. I get up, get ready in the bathroom and put on my new sleeveless ruffle shirt with my black mini skirt and leggings underneath. As I put on my black leather boots, the doorbell rings and I open it too see Uriah and Zeke at the door.
"Happy Birthday Trissy-poo!" Uriah says hugging me. He's wearing a black muscle T-shirt with black basketball shorts and sneakers.
"Thanks Uri." I say, "You didn't have to come this early. It doesn't start for another five hours or so."
"Ya, we know but we wanted to help you get ready." he says gesturing to Zeke.
"Happy Birthday Tris!" Zeke says, opening up his arms to hug. He looks so hot today. He has his jet black hair perfectly combed and is wearing a black T-shirt and jeans with black combat boots. I hug him and say thanks.
"So if you guys really want to help, you can start with the decorations," I point to the boxes filled with decorations.
"Ok. Come on Uriah, lets go get these boxes" Zeke says lifting one up.
"What do you mean? The parties at my place." I say confused.
"We changed it to our house since we do have a huge basement!" Zeke laughs. I punch him playfully and grab a box too.
Five Hours Later…
"This party is awesome!" I holler over the music, swaying my hips to the music. Uriah pulls me off to the side and we get a drink.
"I've noticed Zeke looking at you the whole entire party" he wiggles his eyebrows at me. I blush and look over at Zeke's direction and he indeed is looking at me. I smile and wave a little and he smiles back.
"Come on! Let's open your presents!" he says dragging me up to the huge pile of presents. I grab one and start to open it…
Two Hours Later…
"Thanks for coming guys!" I wave at the retreating figures of my friends.
"Thanks for the party guys." I say to Uriah and Zeke, giving them each a hug. I lie on the couch reading a book and eventually doze off.
Three Years Later…
"Mar Mar, Candor or Dauntless" I say starting off the game
"Hmmm, Dauntless" she smirks
"I dare you to go outside to the Pit and when you see the first guy with his girlfriend say 'I don't believe it! How could you do this to me? You said you loved me!' and slap him and run away crying." I say holding back my laughter.
"Ok" she says as she flips her hair over her shoulder and walks out. She jumps on top of this Dauntless guy with his girlfriend, knocking him down and with her tear-streaked face she yelled "How could you do this to me? You said you loved me! How?" she slapped him and ran back. The guys girlfriend slapped him and stalked away with the guy at her heels talking really fast.
"That was so fun! Ok, Uriah, Candor or Dauntless." She pats her hair down.
"Dauntless" he says.
"I dare you to do a hot sauce contest with Tris" I wink at Uriah.
"You're on!" he yells "Zeke bring out the hot sauce!" Zeke goes and gets 10 shot glasses each and a bottle of hot sauce. He pours the hot sauce in the glasses.
"Ready, Set, Gooooooo!" Marlene yells. Once I've gotten to my seventh glass, Uriah is on his fifth and his face is bright red.
"WATER! WATER, WATER, WATER! GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DRINK! MY THROAT IS ON FIRE! MILK, WATER WHATEVER! GIMME SOMETHING!" he yells running around in circles. Zeke gives him the hot sauce bottle and Uriah drinks it.
"ZEKE YOU MADE IT WORSE!" Uriah whines. Zeke give me a questioning look, not noticing the hot sauce bottle in his hands and through my laughs I point to his hand. Zeke pales and grabs some ice and pops them into Uriah's mouth. I chug the rest of the hot sauce bottle down my throat and lick my lips. Yum. I turn back to my friends and they're all looking at me with they're mouths wide open.
"What?" I ask annoyed.
"Y-y-you drank the whole thing!" Zeke stammers.
"Ya! It was really good!" I love hot stuff!
"Ok, Tori! Candor or Dauntless?" Uriah asks, chugging down a bottle of water.
"Candor, don't trust your dares." Tori shudders.
"Bed, wed, dead Max, Zeke and me!" Uriah laughs.
"Ugh, this is horrible but bed Uriah, wed Zeke and dead Max. He's like forty!" she spreads her arms in exaggeration.
"Zeke, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Candor?" he raises one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows.
"Pansycake." Uriah whispers besides me. I giggle and Zeke give me a weird look.
"Who do you like?" Tori leans in. He shakes his head and takes off his shirt, showing off his very toned muscles. All the girls gawk at it except for me, I see him shirtless almost every single day almost since Zeke takes off his shirt at home.
"Ok, um, Tris. Candor or Dauntless?" Zeke asks.
"Dauntless"
"I dare you to go to the Pit and dump a bucket of ice water on them then kiss them on the lips." Zeke laughs.
"Fiiine" I say. I walk outside and the first person I see is Jason, the guy who has had a crush on me forever. I walk up to him, smile sweetly and dump the bucket of ice cold water on his head.
"What the fu-?" I cut him off by kissing him on the lips and quickly pull away but he holds me there with his arm around my waist so I kick him in the stomach. Then I grab his wrist and flip him over. He stays there and groans. I get a couple of wolf-whistles, curtsy, kick him one more time for the good measure then walk back down to the room.
"Lynn, you haven't gone yet" I say rubbing my lips and sitting down. She gulps.
"Dauntless." She says
"I dare you to let Uriah give you a tattoo of anything I want." Uriah jumps up and down when she nods and I follow them to the tattoo parlor. I chose something nice, a Dauntless flame symbol inside a big Dauntless flame symbol on her shoulder, right below the shoulder blade. When he was done, we walk back to the room and she shows everyone her tattoo.
"Ok, Uriah. Candor or Dauntless?" she asks
"Dauntless" he says calmly
"I dare you kiss Tris." she smiles smugly as everyone gives her shocked looks.
I turn to look at him and before I can say anything, his lip crash onto mine and pulls away quickly.
"That meant nothing. Right? Ok now giggle like I told you something funny" he whispers into my ear and I giggle, receiving weird looks from our friends. I shrug it off and scan the room to see Zeke looking at his lap.
"Guys can you believe it? Tomorrows Choosing Ceremony and Aptitude Test. I'm so choosing Dauntless! Wait we all will!" I say jumping up and down. "Except for Zeke since he already did." I look at him and wink. He winks back and makes my heart flutter.
"Ok! Nite everyone!" I say kissing Uriah on the cheek before leaving.
