Erudite High

Chapter 17 Tris' POV

"Truth or Dare, Lynn?" Zeke asks.

"Dare" She says.

"Egg the first car that drives by my house." Zeke says.

Lynn gets up and eggs the first car.

It happens to be the Mayor.

He didn't notice and continued driving so we went back in and continued the game.

"Truth or Dare, Marlene?" Lynn asks.

"Truth" Marlene says.

"Who do you have a crush on?" Lynn asks.

"U-uh-uh." Marlene stutters.

She then takes her shirt off.

"Oh so we're gonna play by the 'article of clothing' rules? Ok" Lynn says smirking.

"Caleb, Truth or Dare?" Marlene asks.

"Candor" Caleb states.

"Huh?" Marlene questions.

"Morons" My brother says. "Truth."

"Oh, umm" Marlene thinks.

I whisper an idea into her ear.

"Oo! Do you have a crush on Susan?" Marlene asks.

"Yes, in fact I plan to ask her to prom." Caleb says, as if it were no trouble at all to admit.

There's silence in the room.

"Truth or Dare Tris" Caleb says.

"WHAT I'M YOUR SISTER HE CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO ASK HIS SISTER!" I yell.

"There's no rules saying he can't" Four says.

"Fine." I sigh. "D-Tr-Da-I GOD DAMNIT I DON'T KNOW!"

"She picks truth" Four says.

"Ok, is it true that you and Four are dating?" Caleb asks.

I look back at Four, who looks at me, and jump off his lap.

We both say a series of "no!" "No way" "not in a million years" "ew", etc.

"ya right" Christina mumbles, and everyone bursts into laughter.

I blush uncontrollably.

"Now, now Christina" Caleb says and I feel relieved.

"They don't have to be dating to love each other, they probably have no idea about the others’ feelings toward them." Caleb explains.

I cross my arms over my chest, enraged.

But is he right?

"Truth or dare Uriah?" I mumble.

"DARE! I AIN'T NO P-" Uriah starts.

"Yes, we know, you 'ain't no pansycake'" Four mocks.

"HEY YOU STOLE MY CATCHPHRASE! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!"  Uriah yells.

"I dare you to, consume 10 ounces of alcohol." Caleb says.

Uriah stares confused.

Caleb sighs.

"5 shot glasses." Caleb explains.

Uriah still looks confused.

"Of beer." Caleb corrects.

Uriah still looks confused.

"DRINK 5 SHOT GLASSES OF ALCOHOL!" Caleb shouts, annoyed.

'Ohhhh" Uriah says.

"i***t!" Caleb says to himself.

"That's not even that much!" Uriah brags.

After drinking it, Uriah rubs his hands together evilly.

"Four" Uriah says wiggling his eyebrows.

Four gulps.

"Truth or Dare?"

"D-dare" Four stutters.

He shuts his eyes tight.

"I dare you to play 7 minutes in heaven with anyone you want." Uriah says.

Four opens his eyes, looking confused.

"That's it? That's your worse?" Four asks.

"Ya, but think about it" Uriah says.

Four thinks.

"Still don't understand.”

"You have to pick. So whoever you pick we'll know you have a crush on." Uriah says.

We all stare in awe.

Uriah is actually sounding smart!

"Ohhh" Four says.

"Can't I pick random?" Four asks.

"Nope, has to be your choice." Uriah says.

"I don't have a crush on anyone." Four states.

"OH PLEASE WE SAW YOU WITH TRI-" Christina starts but is cut off by my hand.

She licks me but I keep my hand on her mouth.

"umm" Four looks at every girl, then one by one.

"I don't really know Cara, I think Zeke likes Shauna, Christina is annoying, Marlene doesn't like me she likes-" Four starts.

"OK ENOUGH OF THE TALKING OUT LOUD!" Marlene yells.

"amm dat wuz ofentive!" Christina mumbles under my hand.

“Translation: And that was offensive!" I squeal, mocking Christina.

"Whatever." Four says. "Hmm, Lynn would punch me, and then there's Tris, who'd probably punch me, but not as hard. She's my only actual friend that's a girl, the others are more acquaintances." Four mumbles.

"Umm," Four starts.

Everyone stares.

"This means nothing, because, as you heard, I took great consideration into this," Four starts.

"GET ON WITH IT!" Christina yells.

"T-Tris" Four says.

I get up, confused, and follow him to a room.

"Why'd you pick me?" I ask.

"Because, you're the first friend-that's-a-girl I've ever really had."He says smirking.

"So are we gonna actually kiss, or just talk?" I ask.

"Well, they are right outside the door, so they'll know if we didn't" Four says a little loud.

He thens whispers "Make kissing noises.".

I give him a confused look, but do it anyways.

I hear Christina squeal.

Four sits on the bed in the room, making it creak.

I hear a few gasps from outside the door, and try to suppress my laughter.

I sit next to him on the bed, making sure it was really loud.

Four moans.

There's a knock on the door.

I walk up and open it.

"Hello!" I say.

They all look at me confused.

"Why aren't you like n***d or something?" Uriah asks.

Christina punches his arm.

Then she turns her attention to me.

"Ya what he said." Christina says.

"Why would we be talking n***d?" I ask trying not to laugh.

"Huh?" They all question.

Four walks up behind me.

"Yup, we just sat and talked." Four says.

"Mmhmm, so why'd we hear things?" Zeke asks.

"You mean me reapplying my make-up?" I ask making a noise similar to before with my lips.

"Or me stubbing my toe?" Four asks.

They just stare, half confused, half unconvinced.

I can't take it any longer.

I begin laughing hysterically.

Four joins in.

_________

We continue the game for a while until it's back to me.

I had to do a stupid dare, no big deal.

"Ok, Four truth or dare?" I ask.

"Truth" He says.

Now's my chance to ask him about the revenge.

He'll have to admit.

He's not the best at lying.

"Tell me your plan of revenge." I say.

Zeke and Uriah look at each other, then at Four.

Four looks confused, then realization hits him.

"ah-ah- I'm not planning revenge, on who, I don't know what you're talking about." He stutters.

"OH please, of course you know. The revenge plan on me, the reason you've been nice to me, became my friend, asked me all my secrets. What do you plan on doing with it?" I ask, furious now.

Everyone gasps.

"H-h-how-how do you know?" He asks.

"Wasn't it obvious from the beginning? Right after I beat you at your best game, you just 'become my friend'" I say.

There's silence.

"What are you doing with the information. Answer the question. I won't try and stop you, it's too late for that, you know too much for me to stop you everytime you try and share it." I say softly.

"P-p-prom" Four stutters.

"Ya, I figured" I say standing up.

"Where are you going?" Four asks.

"I'm leaving, obviously our 'friendship' is over, tell the whole school what you want at prom, I'm not going" I say running out.
