Tris POV.
It's Sunday night, and we are sitting on the tribune watching the football team play. Al and Uriah have tried to explain us the rules for most of the game, but none of us seems to get it right. Dauntless is down by 10 points, and there is about 3 minutes left on the clock. I look for Tobias, but he doesn't seem to be here. I don't blame him for that, if I was him I would try to stay away from Marcus too. I told Al about me and Tobias, the whole thing. There was a lot of "Aww" and "He is so cute", but then I told him about what Caleb have said. I told him that I was scared, scared of what Tobias wanted from me or was expecting from me. Al secured me that Four was a good guy, and he wasn't just with me for easy sex. It calmed me, that Al said it. The game is over, and Dauntless lose. Marcus explodes, throwing with chairs and water bottles. His temper scares me, and I feel bad thinking about Tobias living with that man for that many years. We walk down to the field, to find Zeke. He is frustrated, but lights up when he sees Shauna. They hug each other.
"Sorry about the game, but you played well"
"You don't know what you're talking about. He played terrible" Peter is a feet away from us.
"Like you did any better! You're the one to score touchdowns; maybe you should learn how to hold on to a ball! Freaking butterfingers!" I chuckle, and Peter's head snaps up in my direction. There is cruel expression over his face, and he walks towards me.
"You think its funny Stiff?"
"Yeah I do" He uses the force of the last step he takes towards me, to push me to the ground. It doesn't hurt, but it took me by surprise. Zeke steps in front of him, and pushes him hard in the chest.
"Only a freaking coward hurts women!" Zeke hisses, Peter just laughs.
"Normally I don't, but I'm not sure about Tris. Guess that's why Al wants to be with her, she is the closest he will to be with another boy. Little fag" I am shaking with anger on Al's behave, but he places a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay. Just walk away"
When get a few feet away, I look up at Al. He doesn't seem to be affected by Peter's insults.
"How do you do it? How can you be so calm, when he saying thing like that?"
He looks down at me, with a friendly expression.
"I don't care what other people say or think about me, I know what I am and nothing anyone say can change that. You shouldn't bother either"
Well that is easier said than done.
"We should play truth or dare!" Chris exclaims as we all sit in our apartment. I know this game, but I have never really found it funny. Well, it couldn't hurt to try it. At least I am wearing layers.
"Okay, I'll go first. Tris, truth or dare?"
"I'll go with truth"
"Do you like anyone in the moment?" I think for a moment, it's an easy question and I don't want to lose a piece of clothing this early.
"Yeah" Everyone is clapping and making annoying sounds. I just shake my head, thinking about how they would react if told them who it really was.
"Uriah, truth or dare?"
"Dare! I'm no pansycake" I look at him, sending him an evil smirk.
"Speaking of cake. You can't eat Dauntless cake for the rest of the camp"
With no hesitation, he takes of his shirt.
"Can't do that, I just love cake so much" His making a melodramatic voice, which makes us all crack up.
"My turn! Al! Truth or dare man!"
"Truth"
"Pansycake. Do you like anyone in the moment?" I can tell what they are doing, and I can't do nothing but shake my head at it.
"Yeah" I look at him in surprise, he didn't tell me about that. I wonder who it is.
"Chris, truth or dare?"
"Dare" Al looks at me, and then back at Chris.
"I dare you to let Tris wearing whatever she wants, for the party Friday" I give Al a high five, and looks at Chris, waiting for her to make up her mind.
She then pulls of her top, and toss it in the corner.
"Sorry Tris, but flats and a dress, it just too much for me"
The game goes on for a couple of rounds, before the turn land on Al again.
"Truth or Dare?" Will asks.
"Dare this time" They all look at each other, this is what they have been waiting for.
"Play 7 minutes in heaven with Tris" Al thinks, I can almost hear his brain working.
"What is it? You don't want to?"
"For god sake, stop trying to hook me and Tris up! It's not going to happen, because I'm…" Is he really going to say this, like now?
"You're what?" Mar asks.
"I'm not into her, or into girls in general!" He breathes heavily, god he is so brave.
The others just stare at him for a long moment, and then it starts to get a little awkward. Marlene is the first to break the silence.
"Why haven't you told us?"
"I wasn't really ready for anyone to know" They all nod, and I give Al a little smile to comfort him.
"But who do you like then?" Chris asks, I look at Al, I want to know this too.
"It's not any of us is it?" Uriah asks, Al laughs and shakes his head.
"No, you're not my type. It's George" I don't even know who George is, but the others do, so he must be from the team or the football team.
"You don't think this too strange?" He asks, a little nervous.
"Not at all dude! It just means that there are more girls for us" We all laugh, and I see Al relaxes a little. He then gets up.
"I have to go, I have an appointment with Tori, need to check on my fingers. Thanks for being so open-minded guys" I get up too.
"I will follow you out, I need some fresh air. See you guys later"
We walk out, and we walk in silence for a moment.
"So how is it?" I ask.
"It's a relief! I should have done this a long time ago" I put my hand on his shoulder.
"You're awesome Al" We are now at the infirmity, he turns to me.
"Tris, I just overcame one of my biggest fears. You can do this too you know? Overcome your fears? You should trust Four and stop being afraid, and you should tell the others about your relationship. What could happen?" I don't get the chance to answer, he just turns and walks through the door. I just stand there thinking about what he said, and I realize that he is right. Tobias is an amazing guy, he is a perfect blend of all human qualities. I start walking towards Tobias apartment, knowing that I have to tell the others about us too. But I need to take one fear at time, and right now Tobias is more important.
I was wondering; Are you guys to happy endings? Or should be dramtic ?
