Ch 7: Truth or Dare

sorry for lack of updating, but lack of updating comes from lack of motivating (cough cough reviews!)

CH 7

I sigh as I put my backpack on my bed. Second day of going to actual classes and I have a butt load of homework. I'm looking forward to b-days, though. Those will be the days I go to my arts and athletics classes. I'm actually really happy about that.

I hear Christina come through the dorm room door, closing it with a loud sigh.

"My god, I freaking hate school!" She says angrily.

"You get a lot of homework too?" I say with a smirk. "Yep." She replies, scowling.

"We can do it later, or something. We'll do it together." I say, trying to calm her down with the promise of procrastination.

"Good idea. Hey, I really just don't want to do anything, how about we just hang out?" She replies, more calm. "Sounds good." Right as the words leave my mouth, the sound of the door bell rings through the dorm.

"Didn't know we had a door bell." I say, shocked. Before Chris can reply, Uriah, Zeke, Will, Bryce, Tobias, and four girls I don't know by name walk right in.

"Well come in!" Chris says. "We knocked." Zeke points out.

"Ah, good job Zeke." She responds sarcastically.

"So! We're here for a little beginning of the year hang out." Uriah says. "We will play Candor or Dauntless (so that's what C&D stands for, you say). Otherwise known as truth or dare, but because we go to a cool school, we get cool names."

Everyone goes to the main space of the dorm and we sit in a tight circle.

"So, I know y'all don't know our names so I'll introduce ourselves!" A pretty girl with honey brown hair and inviting eyes says. "I'm Marlene, this is Lynn, Lauren and Kayla." She says, pointing to each girl in turn. I see that Tobias and Lauren are standing awfully close together. I tear my tearing eyes away from Tobias and look back to Uriah.

"Alright, Uriah, you start." I say.

"Sure thing. Alright, Tris. Candor or Dauntless?"

"Uhh... Candor?" I say uncertainly. I know I'm Dauntless but I also know that Uriah would go all out with a dare.

"Boo!" Uriah replies. "How about... have you ever dated anyone?" I blush. "No." I mumble.

"What!" Christina cries. "If you weren't already going to the dance with Bryce-" I don't know if I'm imagining it but I think I see Tobias wince "I would have you hooked up with some hottie before you could even process what was happening!"

I snort. "Thanks Chrissy, glad to know your here for me. Alright, Lauren, Candor or Dauntless?"

Lauren raises her chin and proudly states "Dauntless."

I think about it for a second then reply. "Ok, go to whatever dorm is to the left of this one, knock on the door. When they open the door walk right on in and go sit on a couch after they start to talk to you, just get up and leave." Everyone laughs a little.

"Sure." She heads out the door with everyone following behind, but trying to stay unseen.

Lauren knocks on the door and walks straight in. I hear a boys voice yell at her and tell her to get out but we don't see her come out yet. After several minutes of waiting for her she finally comes out.

"What took you so long?" Kayla asks. "I thought it would be funnier to just sit there for a while as they yelled at me. I thought I did pretty good to, I kept a straight face the whole time!" We're all laughing when I hear the door open and a boy with brown hair and green eyes comes in.
