A/N: I love this chapter so much! Sorry it is short. I do not own any characters used in this story.

(Tris's POV)

I take the green highlighter and start to go through the pack of papers, highlighting my lines and actions. I read them as I go. It seems really simple, just little bits and pieces. Then on the third paged I gasp and drop my paper. I can't believe what I have to do! In small letters it has one simple word that makes me cringe.

Kiss.

Oh no! I read it again to see if I read it right: Juliet kisses Romeo. Yup. No doubt about it, I am going to have to kiss Romeo. I am going to have to kiss Tobias!

"What? You okay Tris?" Tobias asks, giving me a funny look with his blue eyes studying me. What am I going to say? "Oh, we just have to kiss." I am not about to tell him, but we are going to have to. My legs feel shaky and I stand up, nervously pacing back and forth.

"Let's just start. I'm fine don't worry about me."

He stands up and leans against the wall.

"Okay. Umm, first line..." He goes on, but I don't listen. I am concentrating on breathing.

When my parts come I robotically repeat them out. We're getting closer to the third page.

Then we turns the page. It's okay, just breath, Tris, we don't have to kiss... but what if he wants to? I guess I will just agree and get it over with.

"She is like the sunrise in the east." He says the final line before the kiss. I stop pacing and lean next to him.

"Umm..." I stammer, but before I can say anything else he holds my face and crashes his lips down onto mine. I move my mouth with his, letting my hands fall around his neck. Tobias is holding me so close. He presses closer to me and now my back is against the wall. Then I can't take anymore. I pull away. His hands fall away from my waist and he takes a step back.

"Sorry." Tobias mutter. He runs his fingers through his hair and both of us are breathing hard.

"I think I need to go." I say, grabbing my backpack. I walk over to the door and run down the steps, about to get to the door.

"Tris, wait!" He shouts from the top of the stairs, "I...uh...Tris...I think...I think I like you, Tris."
