Chapter 7:
Tris' POV:
Cont'd from chapter 6!
"Alright! My turn!" I yell. Hmm… "Uriah?"
"Dare!"
"Alrighty then, say 'in bed' after every sentence for three rounds!" I have a feeling Uriah is not liking this game, but he takes the dare anyway.
"My turn…" I look at him expectantly. "In bed," he murmurs. Some laughs. "Will, truth or dare, in bed?" Uriah is as red as a tomato!
"Truth," Will replies.
"Pansycake!" I yell.
"If you woke up invisible, what would you do… in bed? Forget the in bed part in bed… I mean… dang it Tris!" I look at him. "In bed." We all burst out laughing, except Uriah.
"Well," Will says when the laughter dies down. "If I were in visible, I would take as much Dauntless cake as I can!"
"You're no fun… in bed…" Uriah says. More laughs. Best dare ever!
"Well, Christina?" Will says, dismissing Uriah's comment.
"Truth."
"What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you?" Will says sweetly.
Christina's cheeks redden and she slips off her shirt.
"Umm… Marlene?"
"Dare!"
"Ok," she thinks. "Got it! Okay, I dare you to perform a meaningful marriage proposal, and then stage a dramatic breakup with anyone you see in the Pit!"
"Alright!"
"I'll watch!" Uriah and I say at the same time.
We walk to the Pit, and Marlene sees someone, and walks up to him. Oh no! It's Caleb.
Marlene gets down on one knee, and takes Caleb's hand in hers.
"I know this is sudden, but I am very sure of my feelings." She reaches in her pocket and takes out a rubber band. What!
I start cracking up, along with Uriah. He takes out his phone and records it. Good one, Uriah. I nod to him, smiling.
"So, guy I've seen before and vaguely recognize as Tris' brother, will you marry me?" Caleb looks stumped, and luckily he doesn't see Uriah and I – that would ruin the whole dare.
"Umm… no?" Caleb says, unsure.
Marlene gets up, looking crushed. She's good at this…
"I thought we had something… I thought you were feeling it too. We could've had a good life together…" she's on the verge of crying, and then, she snaps. She's fuming, and I'm just waiting for the steam to come out of her ears.
"You know what! I'm done with this crap! I'm done with you! I gave you everything – even if it's just a rubber band – and you didn't get me one thing in the 3 minutes we've been together! How dare you play with my emotions! We're done!" she walks away, grinning. When she gets to us, she bows, and Uriah stops recording.
