Chapter 24
Luckily, we have the afternoon off. This is the last day of Stage One. So I run to the dorms, where I find Jo.
"Let's find the rest of the squad," Jo says.
"Jo, I just wish you were in advanced with me. We could spend more time together."
"Well, where are the guys?" Jo asks.
"I don't know." I reply.
Nathan comes barging into the girls' dorm.
"Kat, Jo, wanna come to a party with Matt and I tonight?" he asks.
"What party?" Jo asks.
"Like Uriah and Zeke's party?" he asks.
"Whoa whoa, he's your teacher," Jo says.
"Well, duh, but today, Zeke actually invited Matt and I and told us we could each bring one guest. So you guys."
I nod. "Sure."
"Candor or Dauntless?" Jo asks.
"Spin the bottle too," Nathan says.
"How do you know all this?" I ask.
"I've been to many parties of his." Nathan replies.
"You have?" I ask.
"I've been to a couple, too," Jo says, "Just Dauntless tradition. The best parties are thrown by the Pedrads."
I nod. "Cool."
We all walk out of the girl's dorm. Matt stands outside.
"What took you so long?" Matt asks.
"You know, doing my creepy ass duties," Nathan says.
The whole group bursts into laughter. Nathan leads us to Uriah's apartment. A wild party is going on in there.
"Can I knock on the door?" I ask.
"Uriah never locks the door," Nathan replies.
"How do you know that?" I ask.
"My brother was best friends with Zeke so we could come to a lot of parties."
"With Matt?"
"With Matt."
Nathan walks in, with us slowly following him. This is a legit Dauntless party here. I mean, I'm a little excited, but going to end up hating it in the end. My Amity and Candor sides of me are fighting against each other, trapped in one body. I'm their loyal protector, since I hold all these five sides of me into my brain.
The music is crashing my eardrums, with shot glasses and wine smell covering the room.
"Welcome to Dauntless," Nathan whispers in my ear.
"Alright then. Let's beat their asses," I mutter.
"Score!" Nathan whisper/yells.
People are dancing on tables. I'm kind of dancing awkwardly for a few minutes, just to fit in. Jo hands me a shot.
"Wait, what?" I whisper.
"This is vodka," Jo says, "Come on, take a drink."
"Smells awful," I whisper.
"Just drink it."
I drink the shot. "This is disgusting."
"Nah, it's great, right?" Jo asks.
"Right...." I reply.
"NEVER HAVE I EVER!" Uriah announces.
All of us gather around the Pedrads. Uriah hands all of us shot glasses. More vodka... Great...
Nathan whispers the rules in my ear as Uriah yells, "DRUMROLL PLEASE!"
"Never have I ever gone a day without Dauntless cake," Uriah says.
Nathan and I take a shot, along with Four, Tris and Christina. Uriah just stares at Four. Nathan exhales a sigh of relief.
"Never have I ever been hit on by the training instructor," Four says.
Tris and I take a shot. Uriah has hit on me. Multiple times.
"Never have I ever kissed a girl," Tris says.
All the guys take a shot, along with Jo. Everyone just stares at her.
"Never have I ever pole danced," Christina says.
Most of the girls take a shot. I'm like, seriously?! Prostitutes.
After one round of Never Have I Ever, it's time for Candor or Dauntless.
"Zeke?" Uriah asks, "Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless," Zeke says.
"Propose to Grandma with an onion ring."
"Alright then," Zeke says.
Jo, Matt, Nathan and I follow Tris, Four, and Uriah to where Zeke is.
Zeke finds his grandmother.
"Will you marry me?" Zeke asks.
"Ezekiel, I'm your grandma," she replies.
That's what Zeke stands for.
"I love you," Zeke says.
"But I'm your grandma, Zekie."
"Don't call me that."
"I can call you whatever I want, Zekie,"
Nathan and I are dying with laughter, along with Jo and Matt. Nathan starts crying, he's laughing so hard.
"That never gets old," Nathan says while cry-laughing.
Zeke and Uriah leave, with the rest of us tip-toeing behind them. When we get back to the Pedrad apartment, Nathan jumps up and screams.
"What?" Zeke asks.
"My post got a million replays on vine!!!" Nathan shouts.
"Wait, you posted it?!" Zeke yells.
"Yep. Made a collage with you and your proposing and Donald Trump." Nathan says.
"What am I going to do with you?" Zeke asks.
"Christina, Candor or Dauntless?" Zeke asks.
"Candor."
"Pansycake!" Uriah yells.
"Do you fancy any advanced initiate, if you had to pick one?"
"Nathan. He's so hot!" Christina yells.
Nathan laughs. "Thanks."
"Kat, Candor or Dauntless?" Christina asks.
"Dauntless," I reply.
"Prank call Jeanine," Christina says.
I'm nervous.
"Sure!"
I dial Jeanine's number.
"Jeanine Matthews, how may I help you?"
I say in an Italian accent, "Pablo's Pizzeria, how may I help you?"
"I didn't call for pizza," Jeanine asks.
"Well, you called me," I say in my Italian accent, "Would you like to try the grilled duck pizza?"
Jo starts to cry laugh in the background. The rest of the group is laughing.
"Why did you call me?" Jeanine asks.
"Why did you call me?" I ask in my accent, "And what about the uncooked pig pizza?"
Everybody's laughing so hard.
"No, thank you," Jeanine says, "Bye."
She hangs up. All of us are crying with laughter.
Now, the party is over. I run up to Nathan.
"Thanks," I mutter.
"Thanks for coming and being Pablo. Now I have Pablo's Pizzeria whenever I need a prank call."
I run to the cabin and fall asleep.
