I look stay like that for a second, having a mental break down...panic attack. I had an anxiety issue, whenever something bad happened I freaked out. I closed my eyes, incase Four woke up...I didn't know what to do. There was a clock just above the t.v. and I just so happened to be lucky enough to read 6:00 on the clock. I shut my eyes, just go to sleep and figure it out in the morning...I reassure myself. My eyes flutter shut, only opening when I hear a moan from Four.(Time Lapse BTW) I look over and see him rubbing his eyes....he just woke up. Again I glance at the bright blue clock reading 12:31. Shoot! I shot up into realization of everything, my sleepy thoughts at 6 am, my drunk actions...what was I going to do. Quickly I gather my thoughts and move to the lump of clothing on the floor. Great, it's soaking wet, why I don't know...who, I'm guessing one of Four's pranks.

"What do I wear now?" I shoot Four a glare.

He smirkily replies, "My clothes."

I sigh and wait for him to pull out one of his shirts and some boxers. I slip on my only dry things, underwear and a bra then put on the boxers which fit like shorts and his shirt which droops down like a dress and is very baggy. I give Four another death glare as I text my brother telling him I'll be home soon.

"You know I'm not giving these back until I get my revenge right?" I ask pointing to the clothes he had lent me.

He sighs and nods in annoyance and almost saying, 'I knew this would happen.'

I say goodbye and hug him, I walk out the door to go back to my place.

----------------------------------------------

I walk in the door and run upstairs while screaming "I'm home!"

I get to my room as quickly as possible to change out of Four's baggy shirt and underwear. I dig around my dresser for a few moments and find white jean shorts and a silk long sleeve blouse I tuck into the shorts. I then put on my light browny orange leather boots with straps. I slip a black leather jacket overtop making me appear Dauntless and hurry out the door with my backpack, I was already late to school and I had no excuse...oh I'm sorry, after I got in an accident I went out to Four's house and accidentally had drunk sex...oh yeah, the school would love that.

----------------------------------------------

I pull the keys out of the ignition and hopped out of the car, locking it behind me. I head into school and walk over to Christina, she looks worried.

"Hey," I start but before I can finish Christina engulfs me in a hug.

"Hey!!!...I was worried, you weren't at school and neither was Four, you got out of the hospital yesterday!"

"Anyways, I think you should come to mine and Zeke's house for a little Candor or Dauntless action." Uriah exclaims avoiding the subject of why I was 4 1/2 hours late to school.

"Sounds cool!" I say not wanting to sound dumb, "but I don't know what Candor or Dauntless is, could you explain." I say, letting my facial expressions explain.

"Truth or dare." Zeke explains.

"Oh! In that case I'm in." I open my locker to find a binder and a pencil case, opened fall on me...great just what I needed.

Chris helps me clean it up while whispering to me, "Wear layers." I don't know why she just did.

"Okay?" I whisper back picking up the last 3 pens with my non-crippled hand. As I put the pencil case and binder away the bell for class rings, echoing the halls. I head to class paying full attention...okay maybe not paying attention at all but you can't say you do any different!
