Candor or Dauntless: Truth or Dare (Watty Awards 2013)

Part 52: Well that escalated quickly

I don't resist. I've been trying to ignore my feelings for him, but I can't deny it any longer. I kiss him and pull him closer to me by the front of his shirt. He makes a noise, deep in his throat, but doesn't object. His hands wrap around my waist and lift me onto his lap. My hands twist into his hair. He's let it grow out a little.

The feelings I've kept inside, smothered, have been held in too long. I release them all at once, kissing him until I hear a cough. I turn away from Tobias and he smiles at me. I smile back. Jess looks ecstatic and everyone else looks surprised. I get off his lap. My hands are sticky with his hair gel.

"Anna, Candor or Dauntless?" Tobias asks.

Anna smiles inwardly, "Dauntless."

Four touches his chin, "I dare you to...let Six shoot a gun at an empty can on your head." He chuckles softly, knowing very well how good of a shot I am. She doesn't. She nods and stands. I grab my empty can off the table and hand it to her. She walks over to the target and stands in front. I load a gun and stand back.

"I'm just going to warn you, this is what made my rank drop down so low. I was in first until gun shooting. Then, well, I dropped down some..." I lie, a smile etched on my lips.

Anna's voice shakes, "How m-much?"

I smirk, "I went down to 5th." I lie again. She freezes with her fear not hidden. She puts the can on her head and stands perfectly still. I aim and shoot, the bullet hitting the can, knocking it away from her head. She exhales in relief and walks back over to the group.

"I lied, I'm a pretty good shot...I wasn't in 5th place." I giggle.

She sighs, "I had hoped so..." She trails off. I smile at her again. Why isn't Jaden back yet?

"Alright everyone! We're done for today! See you tomorrow at noon!" I announce. I wave goodbye to them and half-walk-half-run to the Infirmary.

I see Konnor and feel nothing, "Bekkah?" I ask.

She looks up, "8D" I run down the hall and open the curtain on the room.

There's Jaden, leaning over Bekkah, kissing her. He grips her shoulders tightly, pulling her into a sitting position.

A.N. It's been a while since an update! Well, that escalated quickly...There's like 4 more chapters and then an epilogue told from some of the characters' POV...
