"I'll be back soon guys, I'm just gonna go talk to Four just now." I said standing up and leaving my friends, with a beer in hand. I walked over to Four who was sitting with a big group of people and I recognised some as being Dauntless-born initiates.

"Hey." I said to him as I got to where he was sitting.

"Hi." He said back. I sat down in the chair next to him.

"Are you alright, Brayden?" He asked me and I just cocked my head to the side in mock confusion.

"About what?" I pretended to be confused.

"About... Eric?" He questioned.

"Oh, that jerk, yeah he doesn't mean anything to me anymore." I said even though I was secretly dying inside.

"Really?" He asked, seeing through my act.

"No," I said sadly, "but I'm not here to let him ruin my night." I perked up.

"Now introduce me to your friends." I said to him, gesturing to the big group of people around him. He turned around to face them all.

"Guys, this is Brayden. Brayden this is Uriah, Zeke, Lynn, Shauna, Lauren, Luke, Tay, Aaron (who I recognised as being one of the Dauntless leaders) and Cassidy." Four said to everyone.

"Hey Brayden." They all said practically simultaneously except Uriah who didn't even realise what was going on.

"Hey guys, what are you doing?" I asked them smirking.

"Oh, nothing much, just about to play a game." Zeke answered and everyone else went back to talking.

"Well count me in." I smiled.

"Great! So what does everyone want to play?" He asked around.

"Ooh! Let's play kiss and tell!" Tay shouted.

"No! I don't need a hungover initiate at training tomorrow." Four huffed but everyone ignored him.

"Yeah! Brayden, you know how to play?" Luke asked me. I just shook my head in response.

"Basically you spin the bottle and you either have to kiss them or ask them a question that has to have a truthful answer, no other option." He said then smirked.

"Great, let's start." I said back.

"Ok I'll start." Shauna said. She spun it and it landed on Aaron, so she leaned over and pecked him on the mouth then went back to drinking her beer.

"Okay! Aaron, your turn." Uriah said then laughed. Aaron spun it and it landed on Zeke.

"Oh man, sorry bro but I ain't kissing you." Zeke said to Aaron.

"Don't worry, I was thinking the same thing. Anyway, what girl do you find most attractive here?" He asked smirking when Cassidy spoke up.

"In other words, which girl would you happily bang here?" She said with a smirk. Zeke looked around the table and his eyes landed on mine.

"Probably Brayden." He answered truthfully and my cheeks turned a dark red.

"Aww don't worry Bray, I won't try anything." He said with a smirk so I flipped him off and everyone laughed.

"Anyway, Zeke its your turn." Lauren said. He spun the bottle and it landed on Shauna so he leaned over and pecked her lips. It kept going like this for a while and most of us were onto our third or fourth beer, when Uriah spun it and it landed on me. I got up off my seat and planted myself on his lap and kissed him. When I pulled back, everyone looked shocked but it was only a game. I stayed seated on Uriah's lap when he whispered in my ear.
