Hey! So, I decided to make a new fanfiction, since I gave up on my first one. So I'm redoing it completely. Yeah. Reviews are quite helpful to me. Wink wink.
Tris's POV
"So, we on for tonight?" Uriah tilts his head, implying that he won't take "no" for an answer.
I sigh. "I don't see why not."
"Great! Everyone's sleeping over, so pack your bags!" I press my lips together. What did I get myself into?
I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I perk up. Tobias appears beside me and faces Uriah. "May I steal my lady?"
"Take her away," Uriah gestures dramatically towards the cafeteria door.
Once we're out of earshot, Tobias asks me, "On for tonight what?"
"On for tonight's truth or dare game."
"Oh," he breathes. "Mind if I join?"
"I thought you already were, you being the most popular guy in all of Dauntless and all. But sure, Uriah said I can invite anyone I want as long as I show up. It's a sleepover," I tell him, although I know he already heard.
"And?"
"Nothing. Just making sure you want to be involved in an insane Zeke-being-drunk party," I add.
"Ah. So who's going?" he asks, taking a step down the hall.
"So far, Christina, Uriah, Will, Marlene, Lynn, Al, Shauna, of course Zeke, and Peter." When I say Peter's name, I see Tobias cringe. As an afterthought, I add, "But we'll find a way to kick him out, of course."
By this time, we reached his apartment, which is now my apartment as well, and he opens the door. "Ladies first," he whispers, and kisses me as I pass him. I giggle.
"Hey!"
"Agh!" I yell as I see Christina reclined on his - our - bed, reading a magazine. "How'd you get in here?"
"Spare key, remember?" She jingles the key on her wrist. I nod. "Anyways, I'm afraid I'll have to steal your girl, Four. She is in desperate need of a makeover if she's really going to the party." I cringe inwardly.
"But I have to pack!" I complain, as she ushers me out the door, despite my dragging feet.
"You can't pack when you don't have your clothes yet, Tris!"
"Ugh, we're going shopping?"
"Of course we're going shopping! Do you really think I'd let you go out in public wearing that?"
"I already did go out in public wearing this," I argue, folding my arms.
"Exactly!" I pretend to be offended.
As we make our clumsy way to the store - I'm afraid to know what store we're going to - Marlene passes us and raises an eyebrow. Christina mouthes, "Shopping," and Marlene nods.
When we stop walking, I'm afraid to look. But when I do, I'm actually pleasantly surprised. "Don't get your hopes up. We're starting at your favorite and going back to what a normal Dauntless's favorite is." Oh, dear. Lingerie. We are ending with the worst store on the planet.
When we walk into the pajama store, I grin. But then Christina drags me away from the fuzzy ones and into the sexy section and my foolish grin disappears. I pout and Christina says, "Please, Tris. At least the top! You can get fuzzy bottoms." My frown turns into a half-smile. At least half of me will be comfortable.
Christina grabs what seems like forty lacy, tight tops, when I see her reaching for a size extra small. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Chris. I am not an extra small."
"Then what are you?"
"Like, a large."
Christina snorts. "Tris. If you would at least try wearing an extra small you would see that you have a body under that ugly sweater of yours." She grabs a few more items (all extra smalls), hands me the huge pile, and sends me to ask for a dressing room while she gets a few things to try herself. "I'll knock on your door when I'm done and we can show each other our favorites!"
I see a lady with black hair and blue streaks, and I ask, "May I please have a fitting room?" She opens a door, and I step into the little room. First, I try on the only thing above an extra small, a black ribbed tank top with no lace. It is a size medium, and I had secretly grabbed it when Christina wasn't looking. But then I see that Christina was right. I look like slob in this. It dangled awkwardly to the sides of my stomach and showed none of my few curves.
Reluctantly, I try on a black extra small cami with lace lining the bottom, and lace straps. Boy, would Abnegation hate this, I think to myself. It shows off the inward curve above my hips, and it makes my small amount of breasts seem larger. While I am taking in the girl in the mirror, I hear a knock on the door. I open it and Christina's jaw drops. "Is it that bad?" I ask her.
"No Tris, not at all!" she exclaims, and shuts the door behind her. "It looks so amazing on you, you have to get it!"
"No way! I am not getting this, Christina! It makes me have boobs!"
"Exactly, Tris! That's my point! You have a body! Since when do you have a body? "
"I'm not sure that I do. Is this mirror broken?"
"Tris! Oh my gosh. Get it or I will tell Four that you are excited to get to the next base in your relationship!" My face turns red. "That's what I thought."
"Show me what you're trying on!"
"Oh, right." Christina rummages around in her smaller pile of clothes and pulls out a size small black top. She puts it on and I see that it is cut very low in a v-neck and has glitter piping. Also, the whole thing is covered in lace. But it looks really nice on her.
"Christina!"
"I know! Forget these, I'm only getting this top. It makes everything else look like crap." I giggle. After changing into our normal shirts, Christina lets me go to the fuzzy bottoms section. "Anything?" she asks.
"Actually, no. You taught me I had a body. Might as well keep going with that theory." Christina raises her eyebrows in shock.
"You're kidding."
"No, really."
"Who is this person? Where is Tris?"
"I'm not sure," I say slowly.
"Well, while she's gone, I'm not wasting my time with new Tris!"
We rush over to the shorts section and Christina gets me these really cute black shorts with silver hearts all over them. They have zippers down the side. Also, she grabs herself a pair of black shorts with lace piping. After being grateful that they both fit, we hurry over to the checkout counter and buy the pajamas. I take out my wallet. "No, new Tris. I'm paying."
I should've taken more time pondering about what to buy. I forgot lingerie was next.
