The Morning After
It was nine o'clock when Lynn woke up, she decided that if she had to face the day at this time in the morning then the others did too. Needless to say, it wasn't a polite waking up they got. The short girl disappeared for a few minutes and returned with an air horn and some silly string. The others weren't as impressed with her new toys as she was. After a lot of grumbling and swearing, mostly on Christina's part, the group was up.
They finally decided to venture out of their supply room and get changed. Silly string was surprisingly sticky after all. After cleaning themselves up they went to breakfast. Upon arrival they noticed the daggers that Drew and Molly gave them, last night was certainly eventful. "So, truth or dare isn't so boring and childish after all?" Marlene asked, failing to keep the note of humor out of her voice. Her friends had to agree with her on that one. Even Uriah, who had been eating toast at an alarming rate, had chipped into the discussion. After a while, they had decided that they should meet up to play truth or dare in their store room more often. That night seemed like a good idea. Uriah and Marlene would even raid the kitchens for snacks and drinks. Perhaps they would continue meeting up after they made it through initiation too.
Marlene and Uriah returned with bowls full of sweets and bottles of soda. The others whooped and cheered at there arrival. In all honesty, they were more excited to see the treasures they had brought along with them. They were placed in the middle of the circle of sixteen year-olds. Lynn had to threaten Uriah with a stray torch to get him to leave some food for the rest of them.
This time it was Uriah who stated off, the torch landed on Marlene. She chose truth. He had to think how ironic this was. His choice of question made it even more so. "So, you said you fancied someone in last night's game. Who do you fancy?" Uriah asked in a bad mimic of girl's voice. Marlene sighed, she still hadn't pestered him about that. She would think of something. "You didn't tell me truth when I asked you, so I'm not going to tell you" Marlene replied. The others allowed it, much to Uriah's protests.
Much to the dismay of Peter, the torch landed on him. He wrongly assumed that Marlene's dares couldn't be that bad. She was far too nice for that, or so he thought. The reality was different. He was dared to confess his undying love to Edward. He hated the boy. Edward could take him to a world of pain. Begrudgingly, he went to the dorm to find him. Marlene followed, eager to make sure he fulfilled his dare. Peter sauntered into the dorm and up to Edward. "What is it?" Edward asked him with an unimpressed look. This was not going to end well. Peter got down on one knee and said "Edward, I am here to confess my undying love for you. I loved you since our days as Candors and I will love you throughout our Dauntless days. Please say you love me."
One trip to the medical room later and the game of truth or dare was over. Peter was the only one who didn't seem to find it amusing, for some reason.
