"When did this happen? Hm?" Christina asks, with her arm linked with mine as we walk toward the dormitory.

"When did what happen?" I say, smiling.

"When did you start dating our instructor?" She smiles back.

"Um..." I think for a second. "About two days ago."

"What? And you didn't tell me?" She looks shocked.

"What didn't you tell her?" Will says as we walk through the door.

Christina smirks. "Oh, it was about who she kissed after the rankings."

"Oh." He says, as Peter walks in.

"Who did she kiss? I didn't see who it was!" He exclaims.

I feel my cheeks get red.

"Why would you care?" Christina helps.

I can almost feel the frown on his face. He stalks off into the bathrooms. We pack our stuff up into given bags, and place them on our beds.

I look over to Christina, and she is smiling at something behind me. Before I can think, strong arms wrap around my waist and lift my feet off the ground.

I turn my head, to see Tobias laughing.

"I'm surprised you didn't scream." He says, putting me down, but keeping his arms wrapped around me.

Christina comes over and grins.

"You better not break her heart." She says, leaving. "Or you'll get a swift butt kicking!"

"You really shouldn't worry!" Tobias call out after her. He turns back to me. "So, have you decided on your living situation?"

"I think Christina and I, and Marlene Lynn are sharing a rooms. They are right across the hall from Shauna and Lauren's." I tell him.

"Awesome. That's just down the hall from me." He smiles. "What about job?"

"Tattoo Artist and Initiate Instructor." I say, smiling.

He looks down, right into my eyes, and all he does is smile, staring at me until I have to ask him.

"What?" I finally say.

"Oh, I was just wondering how I got so lucky." He says, taking my face in his hands, and lightly kisses me. "Because throwing knives at a girl made me think this never would happen."

"Oh? What would happen?" I ask.

"This." He kisses me, firmly, and I kiss back, my arms around his neck.

We stay that way for a minute, before we hear the door open. And a face I've come to despise walks in.

"God, him?" Peter exclaims. "When did this happen?"

I don't know how to respond and my face starts to heat up. I look up at Tobias, and see him perfectly calm.

"What's the matter, Peter?" Tobias asks. "Jealous?"

"No!" He says, running out.

Tobias looks down at me and asks, "Do you want to come to Zeke's party?"

"Already am. Chris already is gonna buy me clothes and everything." I explain, sighing.

"Well then I will see you there." He kisses my cheek and walks out.

Clothes and Christina mixed too well. I sat on my bed as she tried on different jackets. I had picked an all black outfit, consisting of a leather jacket, t-shirt, jeans, and Converse.

Christina on the other hand had a skirt, sleeveless top, and heels.

"Marlene and Shauna are gonna meet us there." Chris says to me.

"No Lynn?" I ask.

"No, she is busy." She turns to look at me. "I think it's a guy."

I grin and we walk out if the dorms and down a series of halls to find Zeke's apartment, which was next to Four's and five down from the two apartments Marlene, Lynn, Chris and I reserved.

"So are you gonna tell them about Four?" Christina asks.

"I don't know." I tell her. "But I'd like to."

Uriah greeted us, and told us to sit in a circle, so we can play truth or dare.
