Dinner was beautiful. That was the first time that I had ever had pesto in the rain. Especially with the only person left on this Earth for me to live for. When we left the cafè, we were both soaking wet, but neither of us cared. We still had a little while before the party, so we walked around in the pit a bit to dry off, but without much avail. We walked into Zeke's party room, and the music was blasting. I liked it. People were handing out drinks, drinking for themselves, dancing, or falling down from their intoxicated minds, but mostly kissing. Most people were making out. They had a drink in one hand, and the other up someones shirt or running though their hair.

Someone gives Tobias and I a drink. I don't have time to decline. Four takes mine and puts the tops of both of ours on the edge of a table and pops them off. He hands mine back to me. It now occurs to me that I have never in my life had beer. I believe the legal drinking age in Dauntless is 15, which figures because well, it's Dauntless.

I take a sip of the cold drink, and it burns as it runs down my throut, but I like it, so I drink more. I'd better make sure that neither of us drinks too much. Tobias, I would imagine, doesn't get drunk easily. I on the other hand, probably do. Although, who knows? I tend to be underestimated by people quite a bit, which I am certain includes myself. I take another sip, and Tobias grabs my hips, and blending with the other Dauntless, pushes me gently against a wall and kisses me. His fingers toy with the zipper on my dress. Tobias kisses my neck, and as he usually does, moves across my ravens. I catch a glare pointed at me from across the room. Alanna. How the hell did she get into this place? I guess there isn't really anyone at the door to tell her she can't. She is with a few friends. She says something to them casually, they nod, and the girls part. She begins walking towards Tobias and me.

"Wow Six. What a pleasant surprise. Sort of." Four isn't kissing me anymore, rather holding me protectivly, and facing the wall, still, to avoid eye contact.

"May I help you? I'm kind of in the middle of something." I say, making a, 'just maybe a little tiny bit' face. She continues glaring.

"Why are you all wet? Fall into the toilet again or something? Get pushed into the chasm?"

"I think the real question is, why aren't you? You really need a shower. Your stink is ruining the fun." She doesn't respond for a moment, so I continue. "Well? I guess maybe if you won't shower, you might want to go train a bit. You kind of suck. That is unless you are planning on being factionless of course." Four turns to face her, still holding me like a teddy bear. She smiles flirtaciously at him and glaces at his biceps. I frown and add, "Instead of trying to flirt with my boyfriend. You do know that we decide whether or not you stay in Dauntless, right?"

She just scilently continues staring at him, and before I can say anything, he responds, "Sorry. I'm kind of off limits. I don't like whores anyways." And with that, he turns back towards me, grabs me by the hips, and kisses me, as if to prove a point. She doesn't go anywhere, just stands there glaring, so Four picks me up and carries me across the room, setting me down by a cooler of beer on a counter. Somebody hoots at us. I pull away, both of us smiling, and we go to find somewhere to sit.

I realize we have both already finished our drinks as we sit down, and Four asks if I want another. I try to say no, but I hear myself responding otherwise. Four goes to get drinks, and some guy sits next to me. I can smell the alcohol on his breath. I stand up to walk away, but he slaps my butt. He must be really drunk. I usually don't have to worry about that sort of thing... Perks of being unattractive I guess. I turn towards him and flash a dicusted look to show him i'm not interested, and try to continue walking. Before I really get anywhere, he grabs me from behind, so I do what my instinct tells me. I kick him where it hurts most. I then elbow him in the stomach, grab his wrist, and wrench his arm around so that I am facing him. I am so used to this that I feel like I am fighting a child. I suppose that is because I did a lot of this during the war. With one forceful movement, I thrust him to the ground.

Great. Now I have a crowd. The pervert that I just beat to the ground, along with the others surrounding me are staring in disbelief. "I honestly don't understand anymore. I was ranked first. Shouldn't that be enough to prove that I am strong? And if that isn't enough, I lead a war, and won, with hardly anyone on my side. I went through things that were so scarring, so hard, even for the Dauntless, that they had to be eliminated. Why is it so hard for everyone to beleive that I am not just an ugly little girl who made it into Dauntless by chance! Why can't anyone accept that i'm capable, of at the very least, defending myself!" It is only now that I realized that I had said these words out loud. Someone stopped the music long ago, and Four was racing towards me. He pulls me into his big arms and hugs me.

"You okay?" He asks quietly.

"Just peachy." I respond with annoyence and sarcasm in my tone.

"I think we'd better go."

"Yeah, that sounds pretty good." Tobias and I push our way through the crowd towards the door. Soemones starts the music again. We're almost there when Zeke steps in front off us, blocking our way.

"Leaving so soon?" Great. He is drunk. "C'mooon."

"Yeah. Sorry. You have a lot of drunk guests." Four replies.

"So? Drunk means you like to party-hardy. That's all. Drunk is fun. You should try it..." He trails off, staring at something behind us. I roll my eyes and push past him.

"Oh, come on Tris! Stay for a few more drinks! I haven't gotten to know you yet!" It's Alanna. Her soft blonde curls flip over her shoulder and she offers me a drink. It looks like some kind of cocktail. The fluid is an olive color and is foggy. There was something about foggy drinks that we learned in health and safety class... I can't quite remember what it was. I suppose I couldn't think of a time where it would apply to me.

I don't know what brings me to do it, but I sigh and take the drink. Tobias swuints his eyes suspicously at the cocktail. "C'mere." She grabs my wrist like Chris does when we go shopping, and tugs me to a barstool next to hers. Tobias comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me protectively. I lean my head against his arm. She glances at my drink, and back to me, then smiles.

"So," I begin,"What faction are you from again?"

"That reminds me, what faction are you and Four from? I heard some rumors, but I have no idea if they are true."

"They're probaly not. Most of them aren't. Why are you interested?" If she wants to play a game of changing the subject, I can play too.

"Oh, I don't kow. Just curious I guess." She takes a sip of her drink, eyeing mine again. "Not thirsty?" She asks, smiling. She is so bad at hiding things that I can't help but laugh. She tipped my drink. Why does she think that I wouldn't pick something like that up?

"Not particularly." I respond, smirking. Four laughs and discretly nibbles my ear, whispering meaningless things in it every so often. Oh god.. Is he drunk? Great. Just perfect.

"Well. Sorry to keep you then. You look tired. You should go. Get some rest. See you tomarrow!" Ohh... I know what she was doing. Well, at least I know her recently improvised back up plan. A poor one at that.

"You're right. I am. Bye!" I stand up and walk away, almost to the door, just to tease her, then I turn back around and grab Tobias.

"Just kidding. Of course i'm not going to leave my drunk boyfriend with you silly. Have fun then!" And with that, I walk off, dragging a stumbly Tobias with me. "Man, Four! How many drinks did you have?"

"I don't know... Like Six. Hey! I know a girl named Six! She's really pretty. I want to go cuddle her. Goodbye... Um... Whoever you are! I'm going to go find Six."

"Oh god Four. I am Six you idiot!"

"Oh. Are you sure? Six is a lot nicer than you."

"Yes. I'm sure, Tobias."

"How do you know my name! Only Six knows that name!"

"Four. I am Six. That is why I know that name."

"What name?" Asks Christina, merrily trotting along, slightly drunk.

"No name Chris. Are you drunk?" I ask.

"Um... I think so. Zeke said it was fun, so I tried it. It's fun Tris. You should try it too."

I sigh. "C'mere Chris."

She skips along to catch up to me, and I unlock the apartment, and pull the two inside. I unfold the pull out lazy chair, plot a pillow onto it, and a blanket, and then shove some of my pyjama pants and a tank top at Chris, and shove her into our small bathroom. I thwn take Tobias's short off of him, and gently push him i to the bed. I take off my boots and dress, and slide on another one of Tobias's oversized tee shirts. Christina comes out of bathroom, struggling with the thin tank top straps, and I pull the shirt off of her, exposing a pale, skin colored, bra, and slide the top back on the right way. I push her into the reclined chair, just as I did Tobias, and crawl into bed with him. Tomarrow is going to be a long day.
