The Neighbour by DivergenttRunner
Chapter 3
"What the hell are you doing here?" I whisper-scream at Tobias as he sat down next to me.
"Saya sedang belajar. Apa lagi?" he says grinning at me.(I'm studying. What else?)
"Seriously? Going all B-M on me?" I say back raising my eyebrow.
He shrugs and turns his attention back to Miss Siti.
*After Class*
"Since when did you take B-M?" I ask Tobias as he switches his books at the locker.
"Since the start of high school?" he says to me while looking in the mirror in his locker door.
"I thought you took French?" I say back to him.
"I got bored." he says leaning against the locker waiting for me.
"What is it with you anyway?" he asks annoyed.
"I can't believe that your accent is better than mine and how you managed to keep this from me. I'm your best friend." I say, pretending to be hurt.
"Number one you didn't ask and number two, you will always be my number one girl." he says pulling me closer to him.
*Time skip. Lunch.*
"Did you understand a single word Mr. Young was saying just now?" Tobias says as he takes a bite of his triple decker sandwich from O'Briens. Our school's cafeteria I can admit is one of the best in our district. I'm eating Ramyun by the Korean lady. I like her she always gives me free Kimchi.
"Yes, Tobias. I understood what Mr. Young said. I bet you one hundred percent you weren't even listening to him." I say slurping soup.
"You got me." he says grinning.
Uriah comes and sits down next to Tobias without saying hello. He wolfs down his Dauntless Cake and nearly chokes on it.
"Hello, to you to Uriah." Tobias and I say in unison and laugh at his face.
"Hey guys!" Christina says sitting down next to me.
"Hey, Christina." I grin at her. I know her secret.
Christina has this major crush on on my twin. When she told me, I said this: "Ew! That's like having a crush on me!" She just hit me and continued telling me about her adventures with Uriah.
"I'm so jealous of you!" Christina says as we walk down the steps to the track field.
"And why is that?" I ask her.
"That necklace." she says pouting.
"Oh you mean the one Uriah possibly gave me?" I said.
"Yes." she says.
"Are you jealous of the fact that my own brother possibly gave that to me? "
"Yes."
"Its a possibility that he gave it to me. A huge one. If you're so upset about it, I'll tell him to get you one for your birthday. I'll also tell him to put it into your locker." I say stretching my legs.
"Now,now. That ruins the whole surprise element doesn't it?" Christina says as she opens her legs going for a split.
"Your fault not mine." I say grinning at her.
"Say, do you want to come to a party tonight?" Christina asks.
"Where?"
"The Pit. I got four tickets. Four is performing." Christina says wiggling he eyebrows.
"Are you serious? I thought he only performed during the school holidays." I say.
"I'm serious. I thought if we go you can ask Tobias and Uriah if they want to come." Christina says blushing.
"We'll see first." I say as I run ahead of her.
"Hey, you wanna come to the pit tonight?" I ask Tobias on the way home.
"Sure? What's going on tonight?" he asks scrolling through his phone.
"Four is performing." I say.
"Oh, interesting. I thought he only performs during the school holidays?" he says looking at me.
"I know right. So, you coming?"
"Count me in." he says getting out of the car.
"See you later."
I put on a plain white crop top and a pair of leather pants. I take out my long lost leather jacket and put it on. I straightened my hair and tied it into a high ponytail an hour ago. I'm looking for my ankle boots when the door bell rings. Its probably Christina coming to dress up. I go down and open the door to see Tobias standing there.
"Wow. You look great." he says his eyes widening.
"Thank you. Are you waiting for your date?" I smirk.
"Yes. Shall we."
"Oh. I meant Uriah." I say blushing.
"Let's ditch them and go somewhere else." he says walking closer to me.
"Ok. Let me go get my bag." I tell him backing away towards the stairs.
"I'll be waiting Ms. Prior." he says winking at me.
I go up and text Christina.
You and Uriah alone tonight. Good Luck. - Tris
I put my necklace on, grab my bag and head downstairs.
"Why do you always wear that necklace?" he asks driving us somewhere.
"Someone gave it to me. He told me to wear it everyday, to keep me safe." I tell him.
"You should."
"You look good in it."he tells me slowly.
I look at him. His ears are flaming red. I choke down a giggle.
"Are you okay?" he asks in a concerned voice.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Dry throat." I mumble.
"We're here." he tells me. I look up and see that we're at a small Italian restaurant.
"Is this a date?" I ask getting out of the car.
"Think of it however you like it. A date would be nice, wouldn't it?" he says. His ears turns red again.
"Sure. Yeah." I say putting my arm in his.
We ate and talked throughout dinner.
"You know that when we talk about embarrassing topics your ears flare up as red as tomatoes right?"I tell him as we were on the way back home.
"Is it that obvious?" he says touching his ears instinctively.
"Yes."
"Oh God."
"If it makes you feel any better, I find it very cute." I tell him as his ears flare up again.
"Cute is the last thing I wanna be." he mumbles.
"Aww..Did I hurt your ego?" I smirk.
"Oh. Shut up." He waves his hand at me.
We reach home five minutes after.
After parking my car and handing me the key he walks me to the door.
"Usually dates ends with a kiss but, I'm guessing you want a guy who doesn't blush to do it, so I'll kiss your hand instead." he says taking my hand in his.
He kisses it says goodbye and leaves. I don't turn back to walk inside, instead I chase after him.
So? What do you think?
Review your thoughts.
Til next time.
