Tobias POV

I headed to where I remembered my locker to be, and saw a bunch of the people I had made friends with yesterday there.

"Hey Tobias!" Christina.

"Hey!"

"So, today's my birthday, and- "

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Crap, I hadn't gotten her anything. Were you supposed to get people birthday gifts after knowing them for all of one day?

"and what we've done for the past few years is that, for my present, all you guys have to come shopping! No complaints, and I get to pick what you get."

"Erm, I'm not a huge shopping fan…" Zeke burst out laughing.

"Dude, you don't get a choice. Oh man, this one time, like four years ago, I missed it, and she put pink temporary hair dye in my shampoo." He shuddered. "Moral of the story: Don't mess with Chris."

"I guess I'm coming then." I said with a grin.

"Oh yea and, by the way, everyone's coming over to my house after shopping!" I grinned.

The rest of the school day passed by in a whirl, I managed to do absolutely nothing in art (again), embarrass myself in gym (again), and piss of Six (again!). Next thing I knew, we were going to the mall. It was pretty close, so we just walked there. Well, most of us did. I noticed that Six and Lynn weren't with us, so I asked Marlene why.

"Oh, they're running to the pier and back. They'll meet us there."

"How far is that?" I wondered.

"Maybe, seven miles?" My jaw dropped.

"That's a – that's a long way!" I exclaimed. Marlene shrugged.

"It's Six, what do you expect. Lynn isn't quite as good, but she'll push herself to keep up."

"Mmhmm."

We walked into the mall, and saw Six and Lynn waiting for us, Six looking very impatient. She held a half-empty plastic bottle in one hand, and was gesturing to us to hurry up with the other.

"So, where we going?" asked Lynn, as we walked over. We all looked expectantly at Chris. It was her birthday after all. And despite my not liking shopping, and barely even knowing her, I was determined to make this a great day for her.

About a billion shops, eighteen shopping bags, and zero complaints later, we sat eating fro-yo outside the shop, content. Christina and Zeke had told me that basically, in dauntless, wearing colours was a big no-no, and had chosen black t-shirts, jeans, and hoodies for me. I also bought myself a black backpack for school, as my spotless white one didn't seem to fit in with everyone else's. To be honest, this shopping trip was turning out to be much better than the torture I had been expecting, and I was starting to enjoy myself.

"What should we do now?" asked Uriah, bored, as he had slurped down his dessert in two seconds flat.

"Ehm, let's go over to my place," Scraping the floor with our chairs, we got up, and left the mall, and headed to Chris' house.

My first impression of Christina's house was that it was big. And by big, I mean massive, ginormous, whichever adjective you want to use. Point is, it was big. And nice. She unlocked the door, and we all trouped inside. We headed downstairs to a room that could be described as cosy, despite its vast size. Filled with cushions, beanbags and couches, it was basically the perfect place to hang out.

"Truth or dare?" Zeke suggested eagerly, and Christina grinned.

"Truth or dare it is! I'll go first," said Christina, as we sat around the floor on the beanbags.

"Wait, how do we play?" I asked, feeling ignorant and stupid. Zeke and Uriah laughed and asked me if I had been living under a rock my entire life. Shauna took pity on me and explained.

"Basically, someone asks you if you want to do a truth or a dare. If you refuse, you gotta take off a piece of clothing, Shoes and socks DO NOT count. After you do it, its you're turn to ask someone." I nodded.

"OKAY! Zeke, truth or dare?"

"DARE!"

"You're gonna regret that," Christina said, an evil glint in her eyes. "I dare you to let me duct tape your hand to Shauna's shirt, right over her boob, and you have to stay like that for the rest of the game." Zeke bit his lip, but moved around in the circle to sit next to Shauna. He was hiding it well, but I could see masked excitement in his eyes. He allowed Chris to tape his hand down over her chest. Shauna didn't look too upset about it, almost happy.

"Lynn, you know the question."

"Truth, I don't trust you." Her face was emotionless. Zeke groaned.

"Ok fine; since when are you and Gabe a thing?"

"Since yesterday, Uriah T or D."

"Dare."

"Lick the dust from a lamp."

"Easy." He springs up, grabs the nearest lamp, and dips it like he's ballroom dancing. He licks it, and we watch his face morph from its usual cheerful grin to a look of disgust and horror at the taste in his mouth. Without speaking, he runs into the bathroom, and we hear the sink running as he washes out his tongue. There's a moment of silence, before we all burst out laughing. It's feels good to have friends.

The game continues, and before long Christina, Marlene, and Lynn are in their bras and underwear, Shauna's in her bra with her pants still on, (and Zeke's hand attached to her bra), Will's shirtless, I'm shirtless, and Zeke, Uriah and Six are still fully clothed.

"Six, truth or dare?" Zeke asks.

"Truth, only because it's you Zeke." Zeke gives a look of mock hurt.

"Alright, what's your real name?" This is a question I've been wondering since I met her, but I was too scared to ask. I glance at Six and she's stony faced. Without a word she stands up, and slips off her black jeans. She sits back down without a change in expression. She stretches her arms up to brush the hair from her face, and her shirt lifts just a tiny bit. I wouldn't have been able to see it with her jeans on, but see it now, I it confuses me. I just see the smallest section of skin, but it's dark, and lumpy, like a badly healed scar. Before I can make sense of it, she lowers her arms, and I can't see it anymore.

The game continues, but I barely pay attention – the only thing on my mind is Six. Why did she withhold information like her name from her closest friends, and why don't they know it already? What was that mark on her back, and how did she get it? The questions run through my mind, and I can't think of anything else.

A/N

I know, I know, I haven't updated in forever but *insert lame excuse that no one will care about here*. Sorry about the typical Truth or Dare game, but I couldn't resist. Please leave a review if you enjoyed it!
