The rest was a whisper. I couldn't hear it, but Cole got wide-eyed.
"But… but.. uh, WAIT! Didn't Will convince you to not give me overboard dares?" He's trying to stall the dare.
"Yeah, so what?"
"So, I think this counts as overboard! If you give me that dare, Will has to strip!"
"He does not!"
"Yes, he does!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Can someone tell me what the freaking dare is?" I interrupt. I'm getting sick of this. In unison, both Cole and Chrstina yell, "NO!" Well that's that.
"OK, I do agree it's a bit overboard. Fine fine, I'll dare you something else."
"If it's going to be something else, can you tell me what the old dare was?" Cole comes near me and whispers in my ear.
"I had to convince Lynn to do it with me."
"That's cruel, Christina!"
"I know, right!?" Christina just continues on with the game.
"I'll just dare you something else. I dare you to kiss my ass."
"Metaphorically?"
"Both."
"What! No!"
"That's mutiny!"
"Well, I-I…" He looked like he was going to explode. "Why do YOU want ME to do THAT! Will, don't you have any thoughts?" He just got his Erudite on. There's no way Christina will win this argument against a past-Erudite.
"Actually, I do. It isn't quite overboard, but it's just below it. She has authority to ask you that, but I wouldn't be too pleased if you went through with the dare." That's when I notice that Christina and Cole are having a stare down. They look like they HATE each other. I'm starting to think they DO. I have to stop this.
"Don't you guys think this is getting a bit bad? Really bad? Let's call off the underwear rule and just put our clothes on. We don't need enemies in the same room together." I never understood why, but people listen to me. They understand that I'm in charge, even though I'm not. Both Christina's and Cole's faces relax, and they both leave at once. Cole doesn't even put on his clothes. He just storms out. I have a good theory. But I'm not sure. I can't tell. "OK, I guess the game is over. Once they cool off we can continue. But that might take a whole day." I hear a chorus of "Boo" and "Alright, fine". We all just head up to our rooms, and there's a war in the hallway – between Christina and Cole.
"You're a COWARD, Cole! You always have been, you Erudite scum!"
"Now I know why you transferred from Candor! You tell nothing but lies!"
"Arrrgghhh!" Christina slams into Cole, knocking him to the ground. He quickly responds by launching her up behind him, where she lands on her back, cringing. As both of them get up, they have fire in their eyes. When Christina throws a punch, Cole grabs her fist in his hand and twists her hand, then unwinds as he pushes her back, stumbling. They wrestle each other to the ground until I go and break it all apart.
"EVERYONE STOP! I'm not gonna talk about talking it out or settling your differences or whatever other Amity things people do. I'm just gonna tell you to get your crap together and Get. A. Long. Got it?" I get a half-hearted nod from both of them. They both return to their dorms as I do the same. Tris is in there, waiting for me, sitting on my bed.
"Hello, Tobias."
"Hello, Tris." I place myself next to her and she shuffles onto my lap and lets her head set on my chest. I knot my hands in her hair and ask if anything is wrong. She says nothing is, and she just wants to be with me a little bit while Christina cools off. Fair enough. I gently place my lips on her forehead, and she reacts by working her way up my neck and meeting my lips with hers. She just seems a bit disappointed. Probably because of Christina and Cole. We continue to kiss until we end up laying on my bed and talking for a bit. At one point, she grabs onto my waist and starts to kiss me. The kissing turns into making out, and she slips her hand under the hem of my shirt and starts to lift my shirt up and over my head. As we continue to kiss, she rests one hand on my chest and the other on my shoulder. I pull her closer to me, slipping my hands under her shirt too, gently stroking her belly. That goes on for a while until we hear a knock on the door. I put my shirt on and answer the door while Tris sits up on my bed. It's Christina.
"Tris. We need to talk. Now." She gets up and waves me goodbye as she follows Christina back into their room. I whisper to myself, "Good luck, Tris."
