I cant stop laughing. Uriah looked hilarious, and even more so when he sulked off.

Tris is laughing beside me, and I am glad she isn't mad about whatever it was earlier.

As i enter the room though, I see Uriah is not sulking anymore. Infact, he looks like a cat who got the cream. Like the Cheshire Cat who got the best cream in the world. Do NOT dare me. Do NOT dare me.

Zeke is obviously happy he cannot be affected."Hey bro, what's goin' on in that malicious mind of yours? You cant get me back, you know. I am PROTECTED by the rules, OH Yeah!"

Uriah smirks"First of all, you are Dauntless, you should not need to be protected like a kid. Anyway, I can get you back, by getting your best buddy over there. Four and you are best buddies, right? "

Four looks scared! Four, the legendary Dauntless, scared!Priceless, and good blackmail. I take a billion pics with these old cameras I found with Tris.

Tris looks at me and sighs. "What?" I try to whisper to her, but she does not hear. Oh well.

These pics are PERFECT! With a wink at Zeke and Will as a promise to play a prank on Four, I put the camera away. Tris cannot know about the prank or who is involved though. I will but that brain of Will's to work...

I snap out of my stupor.

"How does this have anything to do with me?" Zeke says.

Uriah says "He is your friend. If I embarrass him, you will feel guilty."

Zeke replies cheerily "Nope!"

Four shoots him a look that would make even the most fearless person on earth cower. I laugh so hard at the expression on Zeke's face.

Zeke backtracks. "I.. I mean... yeah..." Oh, I am just about dying of laughter.

Four says " Truth." in a really small voice. Everyone looks surprised, and Uriah looks disappointed. After a little while, everyone shakes it off. Four is burning holes into the ground with his eyes. He looked so intimidating as instructor, it is hard to tell that he is the same person now.

Uriah says "Darn, I did not even get to ask, but okay..." He is so odd. I think to myself. " Four, you have to answer these questions. Do you like someone? And you know what I mean. No 'Yeah, Zeke is my best friend' sh**. Is the person male or female?" At that, everyone gives him a look. Seriously... what kind of question is that?! "What? He never dates... Anyway, is the person in the room? And last question, If you do like someone, who is the person? Christina is telling whether Four is stating the truth or not."

I throw my hands up into the air and says "Why am I involved in both of these dares?!" Everyone ignores me. Grr...

Four starts to whisper, and I sigh. Poor Tris. He likes someone.

Uriah says, "No mumbling, Four. We need to hear you. Or are you, the legendary Four, embarrassed? "

I think almost everyone was shocked that he was embarrassed, including me. I only remember him as fierce and a distinctly Dauntless man, not a quiet, meek boy. Is he a doppleganger? I was seriously contemplating it.

Four mumbled " Yeah, I like someone. I am not saying her name."

Everyone looked relieved that he liked a girl. I am pretty sure I did too. But Uriah was not satisfied. " Why won't you say her name? Is she in the room?"

I looked at Tris, but she looked fine. I think it is weird that she can control her emotions like that.

Four spoke after a few seconds. " I won't say her name because I do not want to. Also, that was not part of the truth." Uriah mumbled "Da**", as Four continued, after a long pause. He seemed more confidant now. "No. She is not in the room."

Great. I would have to break it to Tris.

Because... he was not lying.

I finally said "He is telling the truth. About everything."

I saw pain flit across her face, too fast for the others to see. I give her a sympathetic glance, though not long enough to give her away. I want to tell her I understand, But that isn't true. Will never rejected me. I have never been unable to do anything for Tris, I just choose not to. But now, I can't do anything and that hurts.

She looks normal, but is probably doing a lot to look that way.

Zeke teased Four. " Didn't know you had it in you, Four. Ask her out!" "Nah." he said "I'm not her type. " Yeah. That's because you are Tris's type, not this random b****. Zeke says "Four, you are every single girl in Dauntless's type. She is single, right? "Yeah..." He says, his sudden confidence gone. Ha! "I think so... " What is that supposed to mean? He thinks so?! "Can we just continue?" he says.

"I have to go. See you." Tris says. I knew that was coming. I just look at her and think go. She needs to. She couldn't have stayed normal for much longer.

She turns, and gets up to walk out the door. She slams it and everyone stares after her. Where did my quiet, yet fierce friend go? I guess rejection does that to you. She probably wants me to follow, but I can't.

Four says, "Yea I gotta go too. Bye." and runs out the door, not bothering to stay and catch it before it slams shut. Will, Uriah, Zeke, Lynn, Marlene, Shauna, Al, and ugh, Peter, all look at me. Lauren had left right after Uriah's dare, to go to a fight she had scheduled with someone earlier. Yes, we are crazy and ruthless, but we schedule fights... Ah, Dauntless...

" Whats up with her?" Uriah asks, seeming to be normal now.

Peter says "Whatever. If we are not playing, I'm leaving."

Good. No one needed him here anyway. He left, slamming the door, of course.

"So?" Zeke prodded. I sighed. "Ok, I will tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else, and keep it in this room. ONLY this room. Promise?" Everyone nodded.

Dauntless liked secrets.

"Tris... she..." Everyone leaned in.

"She likes him." Everyone was shocked.

"Our meek little Tris likes him, the fierce, ruthless, sadistic instructor?" Al said.

I defended her. " Tris is not meek. Also, Four is not sadistic. Eric is."

Zeke stared at me. "Christina, he likes her too." What?! "But he never lied..." I trailed off, stunned in to silence. And that rarely ever happens. Like, never.

"Yes. That I do not get. But if we tell Tris, she will not believe us, and neither will 4. We gotta get them together during Truth or Dare." Uriah said. Al stormed off after hearing this. He likes her and its no secret.

Anyway... "That was our plan earlier, but Tris apparently heard something that made her call it off."I said.

In the end, Shauna had the best plan. " We will ask Four to come somewhere with us, and you ask Tris to go somewhere with you guys. We will meet, and talk about ziplining. We will pretend we went ziplining today. Christina, Tris usually looks at details, but she will probably be too upset to notice your hair is not messed up. We will seclude Four and Tris by talking about the ziplining trip. They will probably wander off, most likely together. By that time, Tris will probably decide to announce her feelings, even if she feels they are not returned. If that does not work, we will ask Four and Tris to come and play Truth or Dare with us again." We all agree, and decide the meeting will happen Friday, near the Pit.
