A/N: Well, guys, looks like I'm doing Perfect first. I asked all my friends and family which one I should do and the results came out clear, including the ones from my one-shot. So here it is! Oh, and sorry if I make the narrator (Tris) sound a bit childish and if there aren't enough detail! So I'm going to get a beta reader to help. Now enough of that! To the story!

Prologue/Chapter 1: Truth or Dare and a New Life
Tris POV
The smell of alcohol fills my nose as I enter the door to hell. Okay, maybe it isn't hell, but still it's a Dauntless party or more specifally Pedrad party. I see Zeke, one of the Pedrad kids, hobble towards me, a bit tipsy. He offers me a drink, beer, but I decline as always. I am only 13, by the way, so it would be illegal to be drinking at this age, but does Zeke care? Not to my knowledge. I also hate parties and anything to do with social interactions unless it's with my friend group. So basically I'm very uptight. A lot of people like to tease me for that and call me Stiff. Like the cruel nickname we call the members and/or initiates of the selfless faction, Abnegation.
So I decide to take a seat on the couch and watch everyone for a while, planning when to leave without making people notice me leave. Until, I hear a very familiar and very obnoxious, but lovable voice come on the speakers. Zeke. I though he was drunk. Well, I guess not anymore, seeing all that puke on the ground.
"I'm kicking everyone out!" Phew. "Unless you're Tris, Uriah, Marlene, Shuana, Lauren, Amee and Lynn" Well, crap.
Sighing, I get off the couch and brush through all the intoxicated Dauntless that have been kicked out, making my way to Zeke's room of the Pedrad apartment. There I see all my friends and Uriah sitting in a circle chatting, laughing, and wrestling, surprisingly sober.
Don't get me wrong, Uriah is my friend, but sometimes I wish we could be more than friends. I love his chocolate colored eyes, his tall, lean body, his humor, just basically everything about him. But, he would never like me. I'm scrawny, short, small chested with no curves, ect. Plus, there's Marlene, although she isn't much of a problem. We made a deal that, whoever Uriah likes, he like. Sisters before Misters you know?
I sit down on the soft, furry carpet of Zeke's bedroom floor and clear my throat. Everyone turns to me and smiles stopping their conversations and helping each other up from the 'wrestling floor', dusting off imaginary dust and settle back into the circle.
"So Zeke, why did you want us?" Amme tilts her at Zeke, expression curious. "And you told us not to touch any beer"
Funny, I'm pretty sure that Zeke was wasted not two hours ago when he offered me beer, but he told everyone not to drink any.
"Yeah, I did" A completely sober Zeke states matter-of-factly "For a good reason of course. We shall play a game, but it isn't any game it's..." He pauses for a dramatic effect. "Truth or Dare"
And everyone rolls their eyes, including me. We play truth or dare practically on a daily basis. What makes today so special? Unless...
My eyes zoom over to Zeke. He's the only one that every knew about my crush on Uriah. Zeke must know that Marlene likes Uriah too because Marlene's eyes also dart to Zeke, who just grins cheekily at Marlene and me.
"Okay, guys I'll start first. Lauren Truth or Dare" Zeke addresses
Lauren pretends to think, but knowing her, she's too proud to ever say truth.
"Dare" She states firmly, nodding once, finalizing it
"I dare you to go up to Tris's dad and say that you got Tris pregnant"
My eyes bulge out of their sockets. Why me of all people? I stare at Lauren pleadingly with puppy dog eyes, but of course she shrugs it off and heads towards my family's apartment, with everyone else in our group following her, including me.
I forget the real reason why we're all even playing truth or dare today and focus on the monstrosity that's about to happen. Lauren knocks on the door guess who answers it? My annoying, over-protective brother does.
My family is just your regular,average Dauntless family. I have a mother, father, and brother. My mother is Natalie Prior. She's the best mother I could ever ask for, the bravest Dauntless, and the most nicest, caring person ever, but she's Dauntless, as I said, not Amity and my mom can kick ass anytime. My father is Andrew Prior. He transferred from Erudite, but still very brave. My father still has some Erudite in him, though, always analyzing a fight instead of just going at it. But that's what I like about him, about both of my parents. They aren't reckless like other Dauntless who jump in front of trains or off a building just for a dare. And there's Caleb. Don't even get me started on Caleb. I still love him to death though, but there's something...strange about him. Not that my brother is an alien or something like that, it's just something I can't explain.
"Yes" Caleb hissed. Geeze who put his panties in a twist. And I see out of the corner of my eye are all the books stacked on the coffee table, next to the T.V which is next to the door. And there's a book which it's pages are on the couch, like Caleb has been reading it. I shrug it off, thinking it's not important and focus on Lauren, who has just started talking after a stare off happened between her and Caleb. They hate each other, but I'm pretty sure they like each other even though Lauren is older than him by 2 years. Older than all of us, actually, except Shauna, Zeke, and Amee. They're all 15 almost 16 we, meaning Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, and I are 13 almost 14. But don't worry there's still almost a year until the Choosing Ceremony.
"I would like to talk to you inside" Lauren is still glaring at Caleb "Alone"
"Uh-" Zeke starts
"Zeke. Shut. It" Lauren threats in a warning voice and Zeke steps back a bit.
My brother and Lauren go inside and we all lean against the wall, sitting down. Marlene, Shauna, Lynn start to talk about what I think is knife throwing, Amee is sitting on the ground quietly, inspecting a spec of dust, she has always been the most... weird and off of our group, like Caleb always is, but we still love her. And Zeke and Uriah are whispering to each other and Uriah looks like he's begging Zeke to do him a favor, judging by the way his beautiful big chocolate brown eyes are in that puppy dog face. And his lips are in a pout. His lips. The ones I want to kiss so bad, but I can't. I'm about to go talk to the girls, but Zeke shoves Uriah my way, winking at me. And I crinkle my nose and stick my tongue out.
"Hey, Tris" A voice I could listen to forever mutters.
"Hey, Uri" I respond smiling a mile wide. My heart a beating so fast I'm surprised that no one can hear it.
We chat for about 3 minutes until we hear a yelling inside my home.
"NO, YOU DID NOT GET MY BABY SISTER PREGNANT!" And then I hear a quieter, more feminine voice. "THAT'S NOT EVEN POSSIBLE!" And another pause. "I WANT TO TALK TO HER" Shauna and Marlene are whispering to each other, probably making bets. "BEATRICE" Great. Here comes the devil.
Caleb swings the door open and stomps over to me, his eyes blazing, lips in a snarl. Lauren cheekily follows, a small grin on her face. Zeke, Uriah, Shauna, Marlene, Amee and Lynn are all huddled in the corner of the hallway we're at, Lynn holding a camera, wearing a stupid smirk I really want to punch off. Yup, Dauntless through and through.
"Beatrice" Caleb calmly addresses me, now instead of his lips in a snarl, they're in a straight line. He thinks I didn't hear him. I almost snort, all of Dauntless probably heard him.
"Yes, Caleb" I acknowledge back, a tipsy like smile on my lips. "Wait, before you say anything, that right there was truth or dare" Caleb's eyes widen and he opens his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. "Yes, I am not pregnant and if I do have a child, it wouldn't be Lauren's" All he does is nod and slowly backs away, going inside the apartment and shutting the door quickly.
Zeke, Uriah, Marlene, Shauna, Amee, and Lynn come back, looking smug. Lauren and I roll our eyes and before they can stop to talk we turn heel and walk back to Zeke and Uriah's apartment.
Back in the apartment, we all just sit there in an awkward silence for a while.
"Okay, then. My turn" Lauren breaks the silence. She turns to me. Uh oh. "Tris, my friend, truth or dare."
For some reason, my brain is somehow connected to Dauntless because I, without hesitation pick dare.
Lauren smirks and I know that this is going to be bad.
"7 minutes. You and Uriah. Now." Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. Play it smooth, Tris. Play is smooth. I look to Uriah for confirmation and he nods. We go into Uriah's room and take a seat.
I look at Uriah and see that he's biting his lip, looking nervous. I get curious why and decide to ask him.
"Uriah, are you okay?"
He turns his head to me and looks at me straight in the eye, which is strange, for Uriah. The next thing is what surprises me most, Uriah grabs my face, gently, cups it into his hands and puts his lips to mine. It's a magical moment. We just sit there kissing for what seems like forever, sparks are flying everywhere and my body is full of electricity. Again, this moment is magical. We break apart, panting, both smiling like lunatics.
"I am now" He whispers into my ear and cups my face for another kiss.
I don't remember what happens for the rest of the night, my thoughts only of Uriah, but one thing's for sure.
This is the start of something new. A new life. A perfect new life.
A/N: Wow, I finished it. Woooo! That was very short and hard to write. At first, I was trying to use Tris's voice, like she does in Divergent, but after a while I just gave up. I'll try writing about 2,000-4,000 words each chapter. And I'll try update this story every other week, maybe? Oh, and for the whole Caleb and Lauren thing, I'm not making Susan a Dauntless-born turned Abnegation, you'll just have to get used to it. Susan is practically non-existent in this story. And just a P.S., I'll probably not write as many make-out scenes, but if I do they'll probably be very... vague. Not because of the ratings and stuff, but because I'm terrible and writing that kind of stuff.
DON'T WORRY GUYS! FOUR WILL COME IN SOON! I dare you guys to guess which chapter he'll come out in. ;)
QOTC (Question of the Chapter): Do you think I should keep this story a Urtris or make it a Fourtris? I know in the summary I said I would keep it a Fourtris because I promised myself that I would never write a fanfic that isn't Fourtris. And I still can't choose. But what do you guys think? Please post your answer in the reviews! Thanks!
