He smiles when he sees me, and I smile back. When I reach him, he takes a hold of my hand and pulls it up to his face to examine my cuts and bruises. Mostly they've faded, because later in the physical training we moved on to shooting and knife throwing, same as in initiation. Still, Four looks worried. Why is he so worried about me?
Once he's done looking at my hands, we walk to the lunchroom to pick up some lunch. We bring it back to his apartment and eat the food on the floor, picnic style.
After, Four looks into my eyes, and asks, "are you going to the party tonight?"
"Yeah, I think. Are you?" I say, after swallowing a bite of sandwich.
"Yeah. Should we tell them about..."
"I don't mind telling, but do you?" I ask.
"I think Christina has already figured it out." He says, turning, and smiling at me.
"Yeah, she has. She asked me about it last week." I laugh.
"She's Dauntless now, but sometimes she lets her Candor show." Four says, chewing his own sandwich.
"Yeah." I say.
We eat the rest of our meal in silence, and once we finish, he suggests that we go outside the compound. I agree, and we jump onto the train. I almost miss, but Four grabs my hand and pulls me into the car shutting the door of the empty compartment behind him.
"Don't scare me like that..." he says and cocooning me in his strong arms. I don't want him to let go- I want to stay there in his arms forever.
Slowly, he lessens his grip on me. I bring my arms up to his face and bring my lips slowly to his. I press my face to his, his warm skin on mine. He moves his arms to my hips, pushing my body closer to his.
The train shakes, and he moves his arms off of me, and my lips slowly part from his. Opening my eyes, I see Four's face, smiling.
"Wait, we never decided if we wanted to tell them." He says.
"Well, maybe we can just see. If they ask, we tell them, but if they don't, we don't." I suggest, putting my hands in the back pockets of Four's jeans.
He grins, and then replies. "Sounds like a plan."
Then he kisses me stronger than ever- moving his lips over mine again and again, pushing my back to the train car door. Suddenly the door opens, and we roll off of the train, toppling onto a grassy hill.
Our landing was soft, cushioned by some moss near the train track. We roll down the hill, stopping by at the bottom. We must be near the Amity headquarters, but I can't see them. Four and I climb the hill, and sit side by side, and look out over the city.
"It's almost fall." I remark, looking at the silhouette of the Dauntless headquarters. It almost looks abandoned- this whole city does really- you'd never guess so many people live there.
"Yeah," he says. "I love this time of year. It's not too cold, but it's not extremely hot. Also the leaves turn deep red, but they don't start to fall yet."
I hear another train coming and I stand. "We should go." I say, looking to Four, who stands as well. He nods, and we wait for the train to come, and then run and jump onto it. This time, I land on the train.
When we get back to the compound, I walk to my apartment, to dress for the party. I remember Christina's advice, so I wear the black dress, with leggings and my black jacket.
I hear a knocking on the door so I open it, and Christina is standing there. She rushes in and plops herself down on my bed.
"Hey Tris!"
"Hi Christina, why are you..."
"I need your help. Follow me." she jumps off the bed and bounds down the hall like an over-exited puppy. I follow, and she leads me to her room. Upon opening the door, I see two dresses laid out on the bed. One is a deep purple color, and has a thick black belt around the middle. The other one was black, and looked rather like my dress, though its skirt was sorter, and is trimmed with lace at the bottom, and around the low-cut neckline.
"I think you should wear the black one," I say.
"Really? You don't think the skirt's too short?"
"Nah, I think it'll look good on you."
"Great. Thanks!" she says and pulls the black one into her arms, running to the bathroom to change. When she emerges, she looks really good. The black dress fits her perfectly, and the trim makes her look like someone from a fairytale.
"You look so good!" I say, imitating Chris and putting my hands on my cheeks.
"Oh, shut up." She says, rolling her eyes.
"Hey Chris?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you not ask Four or me about, you know... at the party tonight?"
"Sure... "
"Promise?"
"Promise."
By now it's now dinnertime, so Chris brings me an apple, saying, "Don't get too full now, there'll be food at the party."
Once I finish eating my apple, Chris and I walk to Zeke's apartment. Everyone is mostly there, Uriah must be late, and Zeke is probably out getting something,
I sit next to Chris and Four on a couch, and Uriah arrives, sitting next to Lynn and Marlene. As soon as Zeke enters, he sits, and asks, "Does everyone know how to play?"
"No," Will says.
"Seriously?" Lynn asks, "You don't know how to play Candor or Dauntless?"
"Nah."
"That's ok," Zeke says, "I can explain. So basically, one person is asked 'Candor or Dauntless?' and if they choose Candor, they're asked a question, and they have to answer it honestly, but if they choose Dauntless, they have to do a dare. If you don't want to answer, or do the dare, they have to remove an article of clothing. Socks and shoes don't count."
"Great..." says Will.
"Are you ready to play?" asks Zeke, scanning the faces in the room for disapproval. Finding none, he asks the first question. "Marlene: Candor or Dauntless?"
Next chapter's got some Candor or Dauntless!
Don't forget to review!
Really, please, please review!
It makes my day!
