"Tris, Candor or Dauntless?" Uriah asks me.
Christina, Will, Shauna, Zeke, Marlene, Uriah and Four decided that to celebrate passing initiation we would play Candor or Dauntless. I'm just hoping I won't regret it.
"Dauntless." I say without hesitating. I came here to be Dauntless so that's what I am going to be.
"I dare you to go to the mess hall and make out with the first person you see." Uriah tells me and everyone but Four laughs.
According to Christina he has a thing for me but I don't like him like that, I just hope he can see things that way.
"Uh I hate you so much right now Uriah." I tell him as I get up and start to walk to the mess hall. The rest of them follow and are trying to not laugh but are failing terribly.
When I get to the mess hall I freeze. Right in the middle are all the Dauntless leaders, Jeanine from Erudite and my brother all sitting at a table in the middle of the hall. I have no idea why Erudite are here but right now that is the least of my problems.
"Omg. This is so not fair." I groan and the others lose all control they might have had and laugh. "Which one do I have to make out with?" I ask hoping that they will tell me that I don't have to do this. They all look at each other and grin as if they are thinking about the same thing.
"Eric." Uriah says and my mouth drops open. They laugh at my reaction and Zeke closes my mouth by pushing the bottom of my chin up.
"Why him? Why not someone less likely to throw me off the Chasm for just talking to them? Never mind making out with them." I plead.
"Come on Tris. Be brave, be Dauntless." Christina says and the others look at me expectantly.
Before I can even comprehend what I'm doing: I start to walk towards the table. I can feel my friends stare following me across the room and when I finally reach the table with the leaders I tap Eric's shoulder. He turns around and I quickly straddle him and kiss him. He is definitely shocked but I don't pull away; eventually the shock wears off and he is kissing me back. His hands are on my waist and mine are in his hair. My lips part and so does his and our tongues meet and are almost dancing with each other in passion. When the need for air becomes over-whelming I pull away and get off his lap and walk back over to my friends. Their mouths are hanging open and everyone is staring at me: both my friends and the Erudite and Dauntless leaders. Eventually Uriah speaks.
"Holy shit Tris. That is how you play Candor or Dauntless." Uriah shouts so that everyone within a mile radius could hear.
I look back at Eric and he winks before turning to my brother and smirks, I feel my cheeks heat up and I begin to walk back to Zeke's room where this whole mess started out.
