Chapter 12 – this is what happens when you are listening to Now that's what I call running 2014…
"Hello people that I don't really know."
"MOM!" I shout and I am pretty sure that I hear the people on my right move about. "Mom." I say
"Hey."
"So mom. This is Marlene."
"The girl who called?"
"Yup," I say popping the 'p' "This is Zeke, Uriah, Christina, Lauren, Four," I hesitate a moment before saying Four because I know that my Mom recognises him. I can see it in her eyes. I recognised him when I jumped. I think he was an Abnegation kid from a few years ago but I am not sure. I will ask him later. "Shauna, Will and Lynn. So Mom. These are my friends."
"So Uriah is the kid who was on TV yesterday right? Zeke, You and Christina filmed it and put it on TV right? Wow Truth or Dare is a lot better now than it was when I was Dauntless. I mouth 'I will explain later' to everyone but my Mom catches me and chuckles. "I was born a Dauntless but I fell in love so I moved."
"Mrs. Prior. Would you like to join our game?"
"Yes. But only because I am not in Abnegation." She says.
"Mom, truth or dare?"
"Uhhh, Candor."
"Okay so whilst you were Dauntless what was the most undauntless thing you had ever done?"
"Well I think that Zeke and Uriah can vouch for me here because I was friends with Hana and I know that she recorded this so–"
"Wait is this the Famous Natalie?" Zeke interrupts
"Well I wouldn't exactly say 'famous' but I know what you are getting at and yes. Do you know the video to which I am referring to?"
"Oh yeah. Is it the one with the embarrassing window?" asks Uriah
"Yeah. Well, me and Hana decided to play a prank on our best friend Ella, Your mom Lynn, but it may or may not have completely and utterly backfired. Well I was putting the finishing touches to our thing and Hana had gone to get Ella. Whilst this was happening I decided to open a window and this boy came along, Marlene's dad, Ryan stepped on our trap and because of the way it was set up he knocked me out of the window. The window below me was open and it was Ella's apartment so I climbed in to the window and then I realised that they were still in there so I went to say hello and then I realised that this was the plan all of the time so they filmed this all and they were watching this. They had attached a camera to me, to all of the windows, to the net that was part of our trap, and to everything in the apartment. I came in to see them laughing so much then I joined in. we decided to leave Ryan there for a while. Then we sort of forgot about him and he called Max and the other leaders. Then again, I was an orphan because of reasons I will not disclose, so when I went to bed that night Ryan and the others decided to sneak up on me so they came in and they played 'freaker sneaker'with me and I woke up and they were there and I screamed so loudly that the whole of dauntless heard me then I just jumped out of my window and I landed in the net at the back of dauntless. I saw a spider and then well I erm screamed and threw it on the nearest thing to me and yelled 'MUTANT SPIDER'… I am ashamed of that and I am sure that Zeke will show you the footage."
"OMG I forgot where I got that line 'MUTANT SPIDER' from because I once found a spider and threw it into the chasm with an accompanying scream of mutant spider so I stole your move. Sorry!"
"Nah don't worry about it Zeke. Anyways, Zeke, Truth or dare?"
"Dare. I ain't no pansycake as Uriah would say."
"Mmmmkay, I dare you to go into the pit and run into as many of the shops as you can in 5 minutes and shout something that will make people in there run after you."
"Mkay." He replies. My Mom, Me and Uriah take the phone and we go with him to make sure he does it. When we arrive back at my apartment we are all out of breath and we have two new players. Ash (the girl from Four: a divergent collection who Shauna has to fight) and Clara.
"So who is this?" I ask Zeke and Four.
"Well, that's Ash," Pipes up Shauna gesturing to Ash, "And that's Clara."
"Okay thanks Shauna."
"And who may I ask are you?" Asks Ash rather rudely to me.
"Wel I am Tris." I say and she gasps.
"Were you the Abnegation transfer from this year? The one who came 1st after initiation? With Uriah?"
"Uhhh, yeah… as I was saying-"
"Oh right."
"This is Christina, Will, Uriah (You probabaly already know), Lauren, Lynn and Marlene. Oh and Zeke and My Mom. She is playing truth or dare with us."
"Oh okay so a stiff is playing. This game just got dull." Says Clara very rudely. "Why is a Stiff wearing black clothes?"
"Because I was Dauntless. I was born into Dauntless. But my Mom died when I was young so I didn't want to have the memories haunt me for the rest of my life so I transferred. Any more questions?"
"No. wait, yes. Truth or dare?"
"Dare." My Mom replies.
"I dare you to run round dauntless singing 'walking on sunshine by Katrina and the Waves' and you have to get round the whole of dauntless in 10 minutes. It is possible me and Clara have done it before. Off she goes and sure enough 8 minutes later she returns and this is what happened "There is no way you got round the whole of dauntless in 8 minutes. Let's check the footage." We check the footage and everything is there. "Fine you win today. Stiff. We're off. Bye."
