"You should have told me the Ferris Wheel still worked. We wouldn't have had to climb it in the first place." Tris says, trying to sound casual.

" I would have, if I had known. Couldn't risk just letting you hang there, so I took a risk. Come on, time to get their flag." I say. I grab the inside of her elbow and start to run to the rest of the group. My body warms with electricity the moment I touch her arm. Tris limps besides me, trying to keep up.

Christina, Uriah, Marlene, Lauren, and Lynn are all standing by the carousel. The others are all gone.

"Where'd the others go?" I ask.

"Did you guys turn on the wheel? What the hell were you thinking? You might as well just shouted, 'Here we are! Come and get us!'. If we lose again this year, the shame will be unbearable! Three years in a row?" Lauren shouts at me.

"The wheel dosent matter, we know where they are." I say.

"We?" Christina asks.

"Yeah, while the rest of you were just twiddling your thumbs, Tris and I climbed the Ferris Wheel to look for the other team." I say.

"What do we do now, then?'' Lynn asks.

I look at Tris and accidently get lost in her blue eyes. She stares right back at me.

"Split in half. Four of us can go the the tight side of the pier, three of us to the left. The other team is in the park near the end of the pier so the group of four will charge as the group of three sneaks behind and takes the flag." Tris says.

" Sounds good. Let's get this night over with, shall we?" Lauren asks.

Christine, Tris, and Uriah are going to go to the right and sneak to the flag. Lynn, Marlene, Lauren, and I go to distract the other team. Almost the entire team sees us and runs after us, shooting us with paintballs. I've managed to dodge all of them, but Lauren was hit multiple times. I lift up my gun and shoot Molly in the face.

I hear shouting from the other end and look over. Christina is holding the flag, jumping up and down in victory. Everyone runs up to her, lifting her up along with the flag.

Tris is awkwardly standing aside so I decide to walk over to her.

"Well done." I say, touching her shoulder.
