I know it's short and it took forever to post. I'm camping right now and the service her sucks. Next chapter will probably be posted when I get back on Saturday or Sunday. Please Read and Review. Enjoy!
Chapter 19
Tris POV
"Never Have I ever?" I ask. I've heard of the game before, but never before played myself.
"We go around the circle saying 'never have I ever' then something you've never done before," Zeke states. "If you've done it before then you take a sip of alcohol."
"Do you really think it's a good idea for the initiates to drink before Visiting Day?" Tobias asks Zeke.
"Get em a taste of Dauntless life!" Zeke says opening a fridge and pulling out a six pack of beer, and other unknown alcoholic drinks.
"Pick your poison," he says placing all of them between us. I know I won't like alcohol, but if this is how the Dauntless live… I better get used to it. I chose this life, I need to live it.
I stare at them blankly. What if I throw it up? I don't recognize the brand names. Tobias reaches out and grabs a brown bottle with a blue strap of paper around it. He uses his teeth to rip of the lid and hands me the bottle.
"It's beer," he says as I take it. "Tastes disgusting, but feels amazing."
Uriah busts the door to the kitchen open, followed by Shauna, Lynn, then Marlene.
"Me first!" Shouts Uriah as he sits next to Tobias. "Never have I ever been in Four's apartment."
I see Tobias and Zeke take a sip and I hesitate before lifting the bottle to my mouth. The substance isn't strong but I still want to spit it out. I see Marlene staring at me. "What?" I ask her.
She points to Tobias and I and gives a strange smile. "Are you two…?" She asks.
"What?" I scoff trying to sound convincing. The true is, I don't even know what we are, and if this all goes south then I don't want to have everyone know and make things awkward between us.
"No… Four is my instructor." I hope she believes me.
"Okay, fine." She says before it's her turn. "Never have I ever kissed Four."
Everyone is looking at me. Do I tell the truth? Does he want me to?
I look at Four who is looking at me. I bring the bottle up and drink it.
I see Shauna in the corner of my eye, she drank.
Four POV
They caught us. I know that they will start to ask more personal questions which will make it awkward between Tris and I. Especially since she probably thinks I kissed Shauna.
"I think Tris and I should go. It's getting late and we have Visiting Day tomorrow." I say.
Tris gets up not waiting for me to follow. Once we are away from them Tris starts jogging. I run after her.
"Tris!" I yell for her. "Where are you going?" I ask running faster. But she doesn't answer. I know now it's about Shauna. "Come on, Tris! Let me explain."
When I am finally close enough I grab her arm to stop her. "Tris, I never kissed her." I say
sincerely. She yanks her arm back and crosses them in front of her. She's jealous. I don't like Tris this way.
"No, it's okay, Four." She says bitterly. "I'm not pretty, or hot." She pauses for a sec. "So, if you're just using me for uh… you know-"
"What, sex?" I ask. "Tris, you know if I just wanted that I wouldn't have gone to you." I say.
"I'm going to go now," she says quietly before turning around and keeping her head to the ground.
"Wait, Tris." I say embarrassed. I can't believe I just said that. "What I meant was, I know you're not like that."
"But are you like that?" She fires back. The question almost seems like a joke. My first kiss was with her. That's as far as I've got.
I can't stop myself from smiling a little. "No." I say.
"How can I be so sure? I mean… you're two years older than me, Tobias. I don't know what you're expecting."
"I don't know what you're expecting either." It's pretty embarrassing.
"So you've never… oh, I just assumed because you know."
"Know what?" I ask. Why would she assume that, she knows I'm from Abnegation.
"I'm basically absorbed by you, so I guess I thought everyone else would be too." She says leaning back and forth on her feet. Nobody's interested in me. Why would she think that anyone would be?
"Shauna kissed my cheek during initiation. I never kissed her," I step closer to her.
"I'm sorry I stormed out," she says leaning closer. I'm aware of how close we are. About three inches. The space between us feels like electricity. Until I decide to close the space between us so my lips brush hers.
"If you're ever curious about something than just asks me," I tell her.
"Same to you," she says back. I do have a question though.
"What guys have you kissed?" I say pulling away. "I need to get rid of the competition."
She thinks for a second before saying, "I kissed Eric on the cheek." She grabs my hand and starts walking to my apartment. I walk behind her but my mind stays fixed on what she just said. Eric. It's just had to be Eric.
