Chapter 3
~Uriah's POV~
I have been waiting all day for this I'm so glad Tris said I could. I don't know what it is about Tris but I like her. Once I slam my foot on the gas pedal the car zooms forward and we're off! I'm so glad that Tris brought us here, there's more room to drive. As I'm going I'm making sharp turns and donuts. God, this is so much fun! In the back I can hear Zeke screaming and Tris laughing. Wow she has an amazing laugh. When I look over and see Four bracing himself as I make a sharp turn a smirk forms on my face and I go faster.
After a couple of minutes I slow down and stop the car. Then I switch seats with Zeke. When I get in the back and sit next to Tris, I smile at her, "So are you satisfied?" she says with a playful smirk. "Very." I smirk back, then Zeke crushes the gas pedal with his foot and we leap forward. Then when we make sharp turns Tris always slides into me and I start to get butterflies in my stomach. I can't help but smile as she laughs next to me. When Zeke turns the car straight again Tris scoots over and her warmth is gone. But then suddenly Zeke jerks the car again and Tris practically falls onto my lap! I'm so glad that Zeke is a reckless driver. "I'm sorry Uriah." Tris yells over the roar of the engine. "It's ok, I kinda like it." I answer truthfully with a playful smile. When I say that I can see Four's expression in the mirror and he is wearing the same expression from earlier when I hugged her. I think he may like her.
~Four's POV~
When Zeke jerks the car I hear Tris let out more of a surprised scream and look in the mirror to see she fell onto Uriah's lap! God and I was upset when he hugged her, But now I'm fuming! I hear her apologize and try to move but Uriah tells her he likes it and that is what made me tick. Man, I have never been this jealous and of Uriah of all people! So I tell Zeke it's my turn and he slowly brings the car to a stop. Once we're about to get out Tris speaks up "I'm sitting in the front this time!" she says excitedly. I'm relieved when I see her get off of Uriah's lap. Then we get out and change seats so I'm in the driver's seat, Tris is in the passenger's seat, and Zeke and Uriah are both in the back.
Once we are all situated I step on the gas and the car lurches forward. I start going faster and faster slowly increasing the speed. When I start turning and speed up I can hear Tris' laughter and cheerful screams. Wow who knew she was such a danger seeker. When I look over at her I see her beautiful blond hair blowing in the wind coming from the rolled down windows. Wow, she looked remarkable, and like she was having the best time of her life, and maybe she was.
A couple of minutes later I stop the car and me and Tris switch seats. "Ok, so know you guys got to drive so now it's my turn." She says as she presses on the gas to make the engine roar. Then she bolts forward and we're off. She is going faster than us guys and when I look at her she has a determined expression. I think that everything she does makes me like her even more than before. She is so fun to be around once you get her out of her shell. Then I look back to see Uriah and Zeke bracing themselves and screaming their heads off. When I see their faces I just laugh, and one of my real laughs. Tris then looks over at me and smirks and I wink at her. For a second I think I see a slight blush forming on her cheeks, but she turns away too quickly. When she finally slows to a stop she looks over at the other two. When she sees the horror on their faces she just laughs, that sweet perfect laugh. "Gosh, you two are acting like you just saw a ghost." She says mockingly. "well, with you driving that's gonna be our future." Zeke says still a little frazzled. But she just laughs and turns away. And we start to head back to the school.
On the drive back I decide to talk to her more. "Well, you sure like to seek out danger." I say and smile at her. "Well, that's just in my nature. But my parents are too uptight to have any fun. So I don't get to do that often, but, that was the most fun I ever had." She states then we are quiet the rest of the way listening the heavy rock music on the radio.
When we get back to the school it's already 5:26, we have been out for over an hour. Then we all start to get out but Uriah says "we should do this again sometime." Which we all agree to. Before I get in my car I hear Tris yell "Bye guys" then she leaves.
On my drive home I can't stop thinking about Tris she is just perfect. Sometimes she can be quiet and reserved then other times she can be loud and free. When I get home I pull into the drive way and get out then I remember, my dad. Oh no, what is he gonna say, or do, when he sees that I was gone later than usual? With that thought in mind I hesitantly open the door and see that he is in the living room. I try to sneak past him by I failed, "Tobias why were you so late." He says with words like venom and staring me down with his cold, dark eyes. "Um…I-I was just practicing later than usual, I made the team, by the way." I say hoping it's a convincing enough lie. But, sadly he can tell when I'm lying "Why are you lying to me Tobias?" he says while standing up from his chair. "I-I'm n-not." I stutter out. Then he takes off his belt and I know what happens next.
~Tris' POV~
When I get home my mom looks really concerned of where I was and my dad looks pissed and my brother looks like he's about to shoot lasers out of his eyes. "Sweetheart where have you been, we have been very worried." My mother says calmly, that's one thing I love about my mother she always tries to stay calm and rational. My dad and brother are a different story. "I stayed longer and ran more, then me and some friends hung out for a while. Sorry I didn't call." I say hoping to calm my brother and father down a little bit. "Ok sweetheart just call next time." My mother says and I'm dismissed.
I go upstairs and go in my room and plop down on my bed. I can't stop thinking about Four. Those dark blue eyes and that perfect smile… God, I have got to stop thinking about him I just met him and why would he ever like someone like me? I'm small and skinny with dull eyes and everyone see me as a weakling, I hate it. But I need to stop thinking about him. So I get up and head to the bathroom and take a shower. I keep on thinking of him; he just won't leave my mind. So I get out and get in bed and go in to a dreamless sleep.
