I knock on Tris's apartment door. All of our parents have to attend a meeting hosted at Abnegation, so Zeke's holding a party at his place. The door opens and outsteps Tris.

She's looking gorgeous in the black pants and leather jacket.

"Hey." She says as I pull her in for a kiss.

"Get a room, you too." Caleb says slamming the door shut.

I get hold of her hand and we start walking towards the party.

Tris breaks the silence by asking. "Did you read the book?"

I nod. "Some of it. I read till the part where Romeo goes back to see Juliet after the party."

"Well, what do you think?"

"It's a pretty good book." After a pause I add. "And I actually relate to it."

She raises an eyebrow at me.

I explain. "1. Because our families are just like the Montague and Capulet families. 2. Our love is forbidden. By my parents for the most part. And last of all because I'm ready to do anything for you."

At this she throws her arms around my neck and presses her lips to mine. I press her closer to me with both my hands. We both pull away with silly grins on our faces. Tris starts laughing.

"What?" I ask.

"You're so cute." Kissing my cheek she starts walking and I follow her with a broad smile plastered on my face.

When we step onto Zeke's hallway, the chatter of people becomes audible. I open the door to find the apartment full of people. The moment we step in Uriah rushes over and pulls Tris away and Zeke does the same with me.

The whole night is a blur. It's a lot of fun. Everyone leaves around one o'clock and it's just us left.

"Alright. Time for Candor or Dauntless!" Uriah announces.

"No way! I'm only wearing a dress." Christina protests.

"Your fault." With this he fetches a gun and places it in the center. Everyone is scattered around the room.

The gun spins and lands on Christina . I ask. "Candor or Dauntless?"

"Dauntless! Hit me!" She screams and in the process punches Tris on the arm.

I smile because the perfect dare comes to my mind. "Get Uriah to eat from your hand."

At once they both start objecting. "Do it or remove a layer of clothing!" Zeke  shouts.

"Fine." Chris says giving us all a fake smile. She grabs a piece of cake which I snatch from her so she has to go back and get more.

She stands in front of Uriah. "Eat it." He shakes his head.

"Come on!" She groans.

"Add the magic word." He tells her.

"Agghhh! Here! Please eat this." She says as sweetly as she can manage to.

They both keep going. During this time I catch Tris's eye who has her lips pressed together to suppress the laughter. But the moment we look at each other, we both burst out laughing and make others laugh too.

Christina, realizing that Uriah isn't going to eat. She bends down and throws the cake at his face.

Everyone laughs at this but I shout at her. "Hey! Respect the cake!"

Once everyone calms down the gun spins again, this time landing on Tris. Christina puts an arm around her shoulder and sings. "Candor or Dauntless?"

At once Tris replies. "Condor. I don't trust you guys enough to choose Dauntless."

"Alright! Tell us what is Tobias's fourth fear?" Zeke asks.

Panic springs up inside me. They cannot find out about Marcus! But I'm put at ease when Tris removes her jacket saying.

"No way am I telling you that." Now she's left in a black shirt.

As the game goes on I manage to catch her eye and mouth "Thank You." She smiles and looks away.

Soon the gun lands on me.

"Candor or Dauntless?" Tris asks.

"Dauntless." I simply state.

She thinks it over for a minute and then gives me an evil grin. This can't be good.

"You and I are going zip lining tomorrow before school."
