Chapter 4
Four's Point of View
I'm woken from my sleep by my phone. I answer it to hear Zeke on the other end.
"What?" I say harsher than I meant to be.
"Jeez someone's cranky. It sounds like you just woke up. I didn't wake you did I?" He says. I can hear him smirking from the other end. I just hang up. He calls back right away.
"Okay I'm sorry. But I got good news for the band."
"And what's that?"
"Ever hear of Five Bands, One Week?"
"Everyone has heard of it. It's where they pick five bands and you preform five songs each night for one week. Then America chooses the best band. Why?"
"We were the first band they picked this year!" He screams. I yell with him. This is awesome. Luckily Marcus isn't home as he is away on a business trip.
"Wait who are the other bands?" I ask.
"There coming here to Chicago, Illinois so they picked all Five bands around here. And you know how they always give each band another band for help that's their style?"
"Yeah, who do we get?"
"FALL OUT BOY!"
"Are you kidding me right now?"
"Nope we get to meet them. So we need to do extra practice if we want to win."
"Got it I'll make a group chat for everyone to come to your house." I hang up and make a group chat saying:
Four: urgent band meeting, Zeke's house now! Bring camera, instruments, etc. wear black Dauntless clothes.
I get up from bed and get ready wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt. I put on my black socks and black hi top sneakers. I know Uriah and Zeke will be wearing the same. I put on my leather jacket and run out the door. I take one of Marcus' cars cause I know he won't find out if I use it. I'm driving to Zeke's house when a thought comes to mind. What will Tris wear? She doesn't have an outfit like ours. I drive past Zeke's house and towards the mall.
I text Tris telling her to head to the mall after asking Christina if they got her an all black outfit and she said no. I meet her at the food court and we head into multiple stores. We got her black high top shoes like ours, a black beanie, 3 pairs of the same black skinny jeans, 2 black tank tops or whatever, 2 black T-shirts, and she got 3 black sports bras. She already has a black leather jacket. We left shortly after, now heading to Zeke's.
"Zeke wouldn't tell us the news until you guys showed up. So what's up?" Shauna says.
Zeke grabs his laptop and goes back to the website and the email he got. Once they see it they scream. He goes back to the email and Tris makes a list of the things we need to make.
Things to Accomplish:
-pictures together and separately
-make a video of us playing a song
-interview kind of things
-practice
-create FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube accounts for publicity
-videos of us hanging out
-put all of the videos together into a big one to show at the competion
"Let's get started guys we have all weekend. You guys are staying over no ones home so it'll just be us." Uriah says
"Sweet." I say. For once things are going my way.

Tris' Point of View
After Four and I got back from the mall, I had to go to Zeke's. When I opened the door and walked in, with Four right behind me, everyone stared at us. It seemed like they were mad. What did I do?
"Zeke wouldn't tell us the news until you guys showed up. So what's up?" Shauna says. Oh that's why.
Zeke grabs his laptop and starts typing in a website. I walk over to him and look over his shoulder and see he's typing in Five Bands, One Week. He clicks on the bands and I see Dauntless. He flips the computer around so everyone can see it and we all scream. Except Four, because I assume he already knew. He goes back into the email he got and I grab it, making a new document on pages so I can write the list of things we need to do.

I give the laptop back to Zeke.
"Let's get started guys we have all weekend. You guys are staying over no ones home so it'll just be us." Uriah says
"Sweet." Four answers for all of us.
Christina grabs the bag in my hand full of my new clothes and picks out what I'm supposed to wear. Then she throws it into the bathroom and points for me to follow. I go into the bathroom changing into the black jeans, black sports bra, high tops, and leather jacket. I come out of the bathroom feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Chris, I need a shirt." I say
"No, you look good. It'll show your abs. You have a good body Tris." She says. My face turns red and my eyes go wide. I hear the guys chuckling so I glare at them. They shut up real quick and we go outside.
"Where should we take the pictures?" I say.
"Hmm. Ooh I know. Zeke, Four, remember where we would play in the woods?" Uriah says.
"Oh yeah. That would work." Zeke says and Four nods. They lead us to the place and I'm stunned. It's beautiful. There's a big tree with four big branches off of it and there's a huge rock in front of it. There's a field around. Behind the tree is lots of water.
"What's that?" I ask pointing to the water.
"We call it the chasm. One daredevil jump will end your life. So don't be stupid." Four says to me.
"I think the chasm will bring out the bravery in Dauntless. Shows we are strong. This is perfect." I say.
"Yeah especially since you all are showing off your muscle. Your welcome Tris." Christina says.
We each get on a branch and Will takes a few photos. I'm on the top because I'm the smallest. Uriah is on the branch beside mine. Four is underneath me and Zeke is underneath Uriah. We take one of us laughing at Uriah when he fell. Another one when he swallowed a bug. And a nice one. We take one last picture where we have our instruments.
Take pictures, check. Now we have to do the rest of things on the list and we have one weekend. This will be an awesome weekend. Just me, the band, friends, and music, what could be better than that.
