Chapter 4.
At the end of the day, i waited by my locker for Four like i said i would. It only takes a couple minutes for him to show up.
"You ready?" He asks. I nod and we walk out out to the parking lot. He parked his truck a couple spots over from my car. I get in, start my car, and drive off towards my house, with him following me.
When I pull into my driveway, Four follows me in through the garage door, which enters into the music room. It has a piano, which my mom likes to play, and the trombone, which my dad likes to play. Caleb and I call it the music room because there is music sheets and music stands everywhere it looks like the symphony.
I lead Four down the steps to the basement which is where our lounge is. I take off my sweatshirt and throw it on the couch, and sit down in one of the bean bags. He sits in the chair. I place the bag which has the slug's dish in it on the table, and take out the dish. The slug is sliding along the bottom of the dish. I make a disgusted face.
"What? You can't handle bugs?" He says.
"No, they are fine but i don't like how slugs move," I say crossing my arms defensively. He ignores my comment and pulls out his green science binder. I pull out my binder and take out the packet. We answer the rest of the packet in 30 minutes. There is a bonus question on the back.
"Name your slug," I say repeating the question.
"That's stupid," he says.
"True, but it gives bonus points," I point out. He sighs.
"How about Slug?" He asks. I roll my eyes.
"Al?" I ask. He shrugs and nods. I scribble it down. He puts is binder back in his bag, stands and throws it over his shoulder. I stand and walk him to the door. I feel his eyes on the back of my head as i walk in front of him to the door. The normal nerves i get around him come back. I open the door for him.
"Bye," I say.
"C ya," he says walking outside. I close the door behind him and walk up to my room. I lie down on the bed and stare at the ceiling until my phone buzzes. I look down at it, and it is Chris.
Chris: 'you wanna come shopping w/ us?'
By "us" i am assuming her, Marlene, Shauna, and possibly Lynn. I hate shopping, but i guess ill go. It was fun to hang out with them last night.
Me: 'sure, what's your address?'
Chris: '412 Candor Road'
I grab my jacket and head out the door to her house.
I get there in under 10 minutes. They are all sitting on the porch waiting for me. When they see me pull in, they all go to Chris' car, except for Lynn, who walks to my car. She gets in the passenger seat.
"They don't have enough room," she says pointing to the other car. I nod and restart the car, and pull out, following Chris to the mall.
Shopping was awful, but at some points it was fun. Lynn hates shopping as much as I do, and we ran off at somepoint to the food court. Marlene found us and told us that Chris was worried where we went. She was, and so was Marlene, but Shauna, Lynn, and I just laughed.
I got home at about8:40, ate some food, and went up to my room. I sat at my desk eating and reading my favorite book, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I loved the part where Katniss shot the arrow at the arena. I change into my black pjs and twist my hair up into a bun and lie down on my bed. I fall asleep, dreading the sound of the alarm in the morning.
The alarm comes at 6:30in the morning. I get out of bed, shower, brush my teeth, dry and straighten my hair, and put on mascara and eyeliner. I get dressed in red and black square patterned leggings, and a black crop top that is three quarter sleeves. I pack up my bag and grab the bag where the slug and his dish is. I Walk down the spiral steps and into the kitchen. I grab some cereal and a glass of milk and finish it quickly. I leave the house and drive off towards the school.
I walk into Art class and sit down next to Chris.
"Your wearing the leggings we got yesterday!" She says. I nod. Then Tori walks up to me.
"Hello, Tris," She says. I smile.
"Hi," I say.
"How are you finding it here at Divergent high school?" She asks.
"It's nice," I say.
"So that drawing you did yesterday, it was really good," she says smiling.
"Yeah, I love to draw," I say.
"You should join art club, we travel to different Art exhibits and even do competitions," she says.
"Yeah, I would love to. When does it start?" I ask.
"Well, lets see. Today is Wednesday, so i believe it starts Wednesday," she says. I nod, and she starts class.
Time skip to the end of the week
The rest of the week went fine. I got closer with everyone. Four still didnt talk to me much. I liked him as a friend, but he didnt seem to like me. Last night, we went to Zeke's and played truth or dare. I got everyone's number, (because i only had Chris') and i even got Four's. Not that i would ever use it, but he gave it to me anyways. It isFriday night, and Zeke was having a party, then after, our lunch table was staying and playing Truth or dare again. Apparently, they play that game a lot. Chris is on her way over to get ready. The doorbell rings and i run down the steps to get it.
"Hey," I say.
"Hi," she says walking in, already heading up the steps. She plops down on my bed. I close the door and sit on the small couch on the back wall of my room.
"I brought my In-Styler," she says. I laugh and roll my eyes.
"I have a straightener and a curling iron," I say.
"Yeah, but this does it all at once," she says.
I pull up the chair in front of her, and she plugs in the hair tool and gets to work on my hair.
"So, have you talked to Will?" I ask.
"Yeah, and he actually asked me out. We are going out tomorrow!" She says.
"Dude! When? Why didnt you tell me?" I ask.
"Today, and you can act girly!" She says laughing. I laugh too.
"Whatever. But that's great!" I say.
"What about you, Miss Four has a crush on me?" She asks.
"What? He does not like me," I say.
"Sure he doesn't. He looks at you all the time, and it is kinda obvious he likes you," she says.
"No! He hates me. He doesnt even talk to me," I say, biting my lip.
"Mhmmm," she says, not believing me. I roll my eyes as she finishes my hair. She does my makeup and picks out my outfit. Dark blue leggings, gray tank top, black crop top, and my grey sweatshirt. We leaveat 7:30, and drive to Zeke's, where the party started at 7. We get thereat 7:45, and as we walk in, the smell of alcohol is very abrupt. Uriah comes over to us, half drunk alrighty.
"Hello ladies," he slurs. I roll my eyes. Chris and I walk over to the table. She grabs a beer and gives me one. I take it, but dont open it.
"You don't have to drink it," she says.
"Ill drink it later. I dont really want a hangover tomorrow," I say and sit down on the couch next to Shauna. The music is booming, and there are so many people here.
"How did he get all these people to come?" I shout ask her over the music.
"He just told everyone he saw, and shoved invites in random lockers," she shouts back. I nod.
"Im gonna go get another beer," she shouts standing up. I nod again, and i am left sitting there alone, awkwardly twisting the beer in my hands, and clinking it against my many rings. Then someone sits down next to me. I turn to look at the person, and i am met with deep blue eyes.
"Hey, Four," I say.
"You don't drink?" He asks, nodding towards my un-opened beer bottle.
"I do sometimes, but i don't want to right now," I say. I have drunk beer before. I notice he doesn't have one.
"What about you?" I ask.
"Dont feel like having a hangover tomorrow. I already had one though," he says. I nod. The party continues, but soon Zeke kicks everyone out except for our lunch table. We all sit in a circle. Zeke starts.
"It is my party, so i will start. Four, Truth or dare?"
A/N: hey guys. Sorry its been a few days. My cousin is going off the college, and its been crazy. I have actually written this chapter a few times, but i was never happy with it. This still isnt a great chapter, but I felt i should get a chapter up. I will stay updating sooner again. Next topic: I think Four and Tris may go on a date in a few chapters. But thanks for the reviews and follows/favs.
C ya later alligators
