Author's note: Hey people!!! Thanks to those who still read this, I really appreciate it. So sorry for the long wait!

Marlene's POV

That was so embarrassing! After Four, Tris and Zeke had left the bathroom. Uriah quickly finished my make-over. Before we left, Uriah gave me one last peck on the lips. He passed me a mirror and opened the door. I screamed when I saw my reflection. When we went back into the living room, I had no choice but to try and cover my face with my hands. I heard laughter erupting from my 'friends' as I sighed and shook my head. Uriah started to say something but I was too embarrassed to actually process what he was saying. Uriah... He'll never change, but I still love him.

"MARLENE! HELLOOO? ARE YOU STILL THERE?!!!" Uriah screamed in my ear. "YES, I AM! AND YOU SHOULD SHOUT LOUDER! I DON'T THINK CHINA HEARD YOU!!!" I screamed back as I sulked. He sulked as well as he crossed his arms and plopped down onto the floor like a five-year old. "It's your turn Marlene..." Lynn said. "Oh right! Hmmm..." I exclaimed before looking around the room. "Al! C or D" I yelled out. "Truth..." he muttered softly. "PANSY-" Before Uriah could finish his sentence, I kissed him. I do know that that was extremely stupid but they would have probably figured it out soon anyway. When we pulled apart, Uriah seemed to forget what he was saying as he started at me. I heard catcalls and whistles all around but I blocked them out. I kissed him again and I slowly melted inside.

"HALLLLOOOOOO!!!!!!" a voice called out and we quickly pulled away, red-faced. "So... Al said truth..." Will stated as he looked away. "Right! Of.. Of course..." I stuttered before trying to flatten my hair. "Right, umm... Do you have a crush? If so, who is she?" I hurriedly said, it was a lame truth bit I couldn't think of anything...

Al's POV

"Do you have a crush? If so, who is she?" Marlene's words rang in my head. Why, oh why did she have to ask me that?! I weighed my options carefully. If I took off my shirt, everyone would call me a pansycake and I wouldn't have another layer to take off in the future... If I told them who my crush was... It couldn't be that bad right? She may even like me back! I guess I got too excited in the moment that I blurted out the truth. "Tris..."

I immediately regretted what I said right after I had blurted it out. Colour immediately rushed to my cheeks as I felt them turn hotter and hotter. Tris was staring at me with a blank expression. I could not make out what she was thinking at all. Everyone else seemed to be calm about it, some even nodding or shrugging. Well, everyone except one. Four. The moment I muttered Tris's name, all the muscles in his body tensed up, making him look more muscular than he already was. His eyebrows furrowed into a frown and everything about his posture seemed to suggest uneasiness. He seemed to realise his change in action and quickly forced himself to relax and try to look cool. Wonder what's wrong with him? Whatever, right now, all I care about is Tris.

Tris didn't seem to notice Four. She was just staring straight at me. Her face was expressionless. Does she like me back? What if she does? Should I be making a move? These thoughts ran through my head as I stared back at her. She has a really good figure... Just saying. Gorgeous. "AL!" Christina's shout interrupted my train of thoughts as I snapped back to attention. "It's your turn.." Christina mumbled. This is the most awkward game of Candor or Dauntless I've ever played. Not that I've played many but I think this game should be a whole lot less awkward.

"Ok... Zeke! Candor or Dauntless?" I said because Zeke was right opposite me. "DAUNTLESS! I AM DAUNTLESS, AREN'T I!!!" Zeke shouted, breaking the awkward atmosphere. "Ok then, I dare you to... Go out to the pit and 'propose' to the first girl you see. If she says yes, slap her and ask her why she is cheating on you, then run away. If she says no, slap her and start crying, then tell her that you hated her all along. Then... run away crying like a baby." I leaned back, impressed by my own dare. "BRING IT ON!" Zeke shouted.

"I've got to see this..." Four said as he followed Zeke. He gave me a vicious glare before leaving the room with Zeke...
