It All Started In Truth Or Dare

"Four, you're in a sim."

"He can't hear you. Amazing isn't it? Everything we think of that makes up the person, thoughts, emotions, history, all wiped away by chemistry."

"Four."

"He's gone. We're all safer for it."

"Safer? How are we safer?"

"The faction system is a conformity to the factiom that removes the threat of anyone excercising their independent will. Divergents threaten that system."

"Don't get me wrong, there's a certain beauty in your resistance. Your defiance of categorization. But that's the beauty we can't afford."

We all heard the director, Neil said. We laughed continuously and Kate went down dancing around. Theo's girlfriend, Ruth, went to her, laughing along. That made me stop laughing, as the jealousy urged at me.

Everytime I see them together, it breaks me down. I don't know why, but I just kind of loving Theo, more than a close friend. He has all the characters that women find. Classy. Charming. Humble. Kind. And muscular, that you'll feel safe.

Ruth is a lucky one that she got him. Sometimes I just want to slap myself for being stupid. Why would he love me the way I love him? He has a girlfriend, that loves him completely so why would he go to a girl like me? Oh, for God sake.

I walked outside to catch some fresh air, and I noticed Ansel followed me. I like Ansel. A lot. But not the way I like Theo. Yes, he has the look. The charm. But I'm somehow I felt like there's something missing on him.

"Hey, Shai."

"Ansel, you're here?"

"I'm always here. I'm just wanna ask you if you want to come with us? To play a little game?"

"What kind of game? Just promise me it's not stupid." We both chuckled.

"No, it's not. It's truth or dare. And hey, that's not stupid."

"Whatever. Okay." He turned and I followed him inside.
