Tobias POV

I ride on my motorcycle, following Tris to her house. Wow, she has a nice car. She drives a cherry red mustang with black racing stripes. When we reach her house, her parents aren't home. Her house is big, too. I wonder if she's rich or something. Tris leads me to her living room, onto her couch. When we're a good ten minutes into the project, I speak up.

"I'm sorry," I say, "For what happened in the cafeteria. I was a jerk."

"I'm sure you are, Four," she tells me, her eyes not looking up from her paper. Wow, this is going to be harder than I thought.

"Really," I say.

"Can we please just do the project?" she asks with a sigh, looking up from her paper. I don't say anything else for a while.

"So..." I say, "There's a party at Zeke's this friday. Do you and your friends want to come?" I ask.

She looks up from her paper and gives me an annoyed glance.

"Sure," she says tightly, obviously not wanting to go. She's cute when she does that; Wait, what? I don't like her. That's the whole point of my plan. But looking at her, I dread the moment of hurting her more and more. Snap out of it!

Tris POV

Why is he so annoying? Have I not made it clear enough that I don't like him? But there he goes, inviting me to a party. I don't want to be rude, and it's not like I have to go with him. He said I could bring my friends.

Friday...

Christina and I walk into Zeke's house. Zeke has become good friends with us over the week. The rest of our friends follow us, and I feel relieved that my friends agreed to go. Except Uriah. He's Zeke's brother, so the party is at his house. We all gather into a circle for truth or dare.

"Tris, Truth or Dare?" Zeke asks me. Oh God.

"Dare," I say.

"I dare you to sit on Four's lap for the rest of the game."

Ugh! Why does it have to involve Peace Charming? I roll my eyes, sigh, and go plop down on Four's lap. Four chuckles, wrapping his arms around me.

"Four, Truth or Dare?" I ask devilishly. His chuckle fades as he realizes what he has gotten himself into.

"I dare you too... jump into the pool," I say. Four walks out, and I can hear the splash as he jumps into the pool. Moments later, a wet Four stands in front of me. He sits down, patting his lap. Oh crap. I sit down on the edge of his lap, but Four embraces me and I scream as water drips from him to me. Everyone laughs.

"Christina, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Who is your crush?"

"Will. Marlene, truth or dare?"

"Dare," says Marlene.

"I darer you to kiss Uriah."

Marlene blushes, walking over to Uriah and kissing him square on the lips. "Four, Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to kiss Tris."

"Why am I always the victim?" I wonder aloud. Four chuckles and spins me around, kissing me. I pull away and spin around, sitting in silence for the next couple of rounds.

"Do you want to go out? Four whispers in my ear. No! No!

"No, I'm a freshman, remember?" I tell him.

"I didn't mean that," he whispers.

"Yes, you did. We both know I'm small, so why are you wasting your time, Four?"

"Who says that time will be wasted?" he whispers again, causing a shiver to run down my spine.

"Stop Four, just stop. Don't even bother messing around with me, OK?" I say. God, he's such a player.

"But I want you," he says. I turn around to face him. "Please, Tris."

"Fine," I say, giving in to those dark blue eyes, "Just one date."

"How about now?" he whispers in my ear, causing me to shiver. God, why does he keep messing with me? He has player written all over him, anyone could see it.

I sigh and get up. Might as well get this over with. Tobias follows me out the door and leads me to the park. The sun is setting. He takes my hand and we sit on the park bench. I stare ahead.

He leans in closer. Much closer. I stare ahead. His lips are by my ear. "Tris," he says. I don't respond.

"Tris," he says. I look up at him, and he stares at me. He pulls me closer to him. Ugh. Why is he so cute? Wait, did I just say that? I can't like him. Do I? Maybe I do. He pulls away just far enough to meet my lips to his. We stay there for a second, before I regain my senses. I pull away and stare ahead again.

"Tris."

"What?" I turn to him. He pulls me into another kiss, this one to which I don't argue. I like him. I have a new boyfriend.

Tobias POV

I actually kind of like her. She stares ahead. I lean in closer, my lips almost touch her ear. "Tris," whisper. I get no response. "Tris," I say again. She looks at me. I stare at her, pulling her closer. Maybe I can like her. Maybe Zeke and I can call off the bet, and she would never know about it. Zeke would do that, wouldn't he? But a bet is a bet. I pull away, just far enough to kiss her. She pulls away and stares straight again. Ugh. I whisper her name and she turns to me, and I bring her into another kiss.
