Hey guys, this my new story! Thought I would try something different, since I've been doing a three sport stories. I hope you will like this one too. To all of you who is waiting for a sequel to "Things Will Get Interesting"; I will start writing on the first chapter tomorrow morning, so hopefully it will be up tomorrow night ;) Untill then, enjoy this :P
Tris POV.
Everybody has tried it; you see a person, and you feel some kind of spark. You find the person interesting and you want to know more, there is a special chemistry. It was nothing like that for Tobias and I, in fact I couldn't stand him. He was a jock, big mouth and to loud for my taste. I still remember the first time I saw him: First day in High School. Or actually, I had stalked my future team mates on Facebook some weeks before. But then the first time I met him in person.
I was so nervous that I barely could say my name; to the first to person I met. We were standing there trying to have a conversation, but it ended up in awkward silence. Out of the corner of my eye I see a person moving through the crowd. His hair was wet from the rainy weather, and he walks with long steps towards us. He shook hands with the others, before he stops in from of me. He is quite tall, had blue eyes, messy dark brown hair and was muscular. I look at him for a couple of seconds, and then think: 'He is a building with feet' He extends his hand, and I grab it for a firm hand shake. His hand is so big, that mine disappeared in it.
"Four" He says with a deep masculine voice. I wonder how old he is.
"Be-Tris. Just Tris" I stutter. He lets go of my hand, and for a moment we all just stand there in awkward silence. Then Four, odd name by the way, decides to break the silence.
"So did any of you watch the game yesterday?" He asks, probably talking to the boys, but I decide to answer anyway.
"We lost 2-1" I say, but he doesn't really seem to hear me. I don't know if he is ignoring me, or if it is just me speaking in a low voice. One of the first boys I met, Uriah, heard me and turns to me.
"Really?"
"Yeah. It could have been a lot worse. It was a terrible defense, I don't get why it's still the same old players. There must be a lot of talent out there" I say, realizing that I sound like a freaking nerd. Uriah laughs a little, but then looks at me impressed.
"Wow, you know a lot about soccer" I blush a bit.
"Yeah, I've played for 12 years. Do you play?"
"No, but I like almost every sport. I play football though" He says pointing to the Chicago Bears cap on his head, I smile and am about to continue our talk, when we are interrupted by Four. He steps in front of me, facing Uriah.
"You play football? Me too man, you going to the try outs?" He asks, he doesn't seem to care about me.
"Not to be rude man, but I was kind of in the middle of a conversation" Uriah says.
"Please follow me!" A woman yells, and Four grabs Uriah and drags him along. Uriah sends me an apologizing smile, which leave me to walk by myself. This brings us to my second thought about Four:
'Idiot'
Since it's the first day, the teachers have made a lot of different activities. That way we are supposed to get to know each other better. The idea about a solving different assignments outside, would have been great, if it wasn't raining cats. The fact that I had a soccer game later, made me extra annoyed about walking around in the rain.
"You look like you could kill someone" Someone says, I look up to see a girl smiling at me. I don't remember her name.
"Christina. Trace right?" She says smiling; I manage to give her a little smile back.
"Tris, but close enough. And yeah; I can't really say that I enjoy walking around in the rain, plus I'm a little annoyed by someone" I explain.
"Let me guess, number boy?" She says with a crooked smile.
"Yeah, we were in middle school together. He is one year older, but he was hold back for skipping classes. He was quite popular, and that made him quite annoying. He thinks he can do everything" Just as the words has left her mouth, we see Four moving through the crowd.
"Let me do it, it will be a lot faster" He says. Christina gives me a smirk and a knowing look. I laugh and shake my head.
"If he could just shut up for a second, we could work together. See that would be faster" A boy says to another boy.
"Which textbook did you swallow?" Christina asks. I laugh a bit, and so does both boys as they turn around to greet us.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Will, this is Al" The shorter boy says.
"I'm Christina, this is Tris and you two are new members in the 'We don't like Four' club" She says in a fake excited voice. I laugh and give a small wave to them.
After an hour we were all tired, wet, annoyed and we just wanted to go home. So when they finally let us go, we all practically ran out of the school. I'm heading towards the bus stop, but Christina grabs me by the wrist.
"Let me give you a ride home!" Christina says.
"No, no. It's okay. Let me just take the bus" I say. Though it's very kind of her to offer, considering we met each other 5 hours ago. She shakes her head, and start to drag me towards her car.
"Come on. I'm not letting a fellow Four hater taking the bus"
I give in and get into her death trap.
When I get home I run into my brother.
"Hey Caleb, where are you going?" I ask, throwing my bag in a corner.
"Hey Beatrice, I'm just going over to a friend's house. How was your first day?" He asks while putting on his jacket.
"It was very wet, did you have to do all those 'let's get to know each other' games?" He laughs and nods.
"Yeah, look forward to the 'freshmen' party, and the trip to the cabins in the woods. I need to go now. Mom left a note for you on the counter, see you later. Good luck in the game" He says and walks out of the door. I walk over to the counter in pick up the note.
Dad and I are working late tonight, and there is nothing in fridge.
Go out and by something to eat before your game.
Good luck.
There is a 20 dollar bill beside it. Great, now I have to walk out in the shitty weather again. I put the bill in my pocket, and pull on a hoodie before walking out of the door. I'm crying in side as I walk in the rain, and what seems like a storm blowing in my face. I walk to The Pit, a little restaurant I always go to when I'm buying dinner for myself.
"Hey Tris! It's been a while, the usual?" Matthew says.
"Yes, to go please"
A feel a tap on my shoulder, and I turn around to see Uriah smiling shyly at me.
"Hey Tris, I just wanted to say sorry for just walking away like that, this morning you know, Four was just really eager" He says. Oh, he thinks that I am mad at him?
"Don't worry Uriah. No harm done" I assure him.
"Great, I didn't want you to think that I was this stereotype jock"
"No, no. Not at all. I can see that my food is done, and I have a game. So I will just see you tomorrow?"
"Sure" He says and go back to his friends, lucky enough Four isn't among them. I grab my bag and walk out. I forgot that a paper bag in rain isn't very handy, so after 5 minutes half of my food is on the sidewalk. As I'm trying to save the other half, I see a person on a bicycle. His figure looks familiar, and we gets closer I can see that it's Four. I decide not seem like a total bitch, and smile and wave at him. I even call out his name, but he bastard just drives by. Not even looking my way. Then I stand there, in monsoon rain, looking like a total idiot.
So if it was love at first sight?
Nowhere near.
