Divergent Prestigious High
'Its not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside or maybe even both'
Tobias woke up extremely sore but that pain disappeared to see a beautiful sight. Tris was sleeping peacefully on the couch with a pillow and a quilt. Suddenly felt cold in some places of his body. He looked under his sheets and saw ice packs all over his torso. Then he realised what happened, Eric had kneed his bruise. The thought of Tris taking off his shirt made him blush. Tris stirred and then started to wake up. Tris was as beautiful as you could look just waking up. She checked her phone.
"Jesus," she muttered.
She forgot to tell her parents so she called them.
"Tris, honey, where have you been, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" her mother panics
"I stayed at Christina's for the night, sorry for not telling you, we were working on a project and passed out," Tris lies
"Okay honey," she replies
"Oh and I'm not going to school today since Christina and I really need to hand this project in so if the school says I'm absent can say I'm sick, I'll might come in during lunch," she says
"Okay, stay safe honey," her mother says before ending the call.
"Lying to your mother for me," Tobias says tried and sore.
"How do you feel?" Tris asks
"Fine," Tobias lies
Tris gives him an 'Are you serious' look
"Okay sore, every time move my upper body it hurts," he says
"Stay there, I'll get breakfast and drop over at my house," she says
Tobias nods and grabbed his phone. It was 10:00am, school had started two hours ago.
He had a lot texts. From Zeke mostly and the rest of the group.
Tris removed her makeup and placed on mascara and tinted lip balm. She changed into a red singlet, black pants, a black scarf and a white blazer. She stuck on red high heels and drove to get some breakfast from the local café. She picked up two bagels and two fresh juices before heading to the pharmacy. She bought muscle cream, bandages and finally some cream to heal bruises quicker. She drove back to Tobias's house to find him changed and limping around.
"Four, sit down," she demands.
Four sits on the stool in the kitchen and eats the food Tris got.
"Thank you," Four thanks giving her a kiss.
She made him lie on the couch and treats his bruise.
Four's phone rings from the kitchen counter.
Tris saw the contact that ringing it says 'The Bitch'
Tris shrugs her shoulders and answers.
"Hello?" Tris greets
"Oh hey Tris" Zeke replies
"Hey Zeke or Four's bitch," she taunts
"Why did you answer his phone?"
"Because he's with me,"
Tris heard Four groaning loudly. Tris walks towards him
"ARE YOU AND FOUR BANGING?" Zeke says
Tris could hear a couple of faint 'WHAT?''s in the background. 'Put it on Speaker' someone says
"Ok, Tris your going on speaker,"
"Yeah one sec," Tris says distracted to find Four since he wasn't on the couch anymore.
Tris took the phone away from her ear and shouts.
"FOUR WHERE ARE YOU,"
"Tris I'm in my room," he shouts back.
"YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSE TO LEAVE THE COUCH," Tris yelled.
"Banging on the couch, dirty much," Zeke taunts.
"What, no? One second" Tris denies as she walks up to Tobias to see him in his room inspecting the bruise.
"I'm going to kill Eric," Four growls.
"Four I just bandaged that up," Tris whines "Oh Zeke called it's on speaker,"
"Zeke your on speaker," Tris says to the phone.
"Four are you banging Tris," Zeke questions
"No?" Four says
"Dammit," Zeke curses "Why aren't you guys at school?"
"Four was drinking yesterday and got into a fight and just happens I was there," Tris lies
"Oh okay," Zeke replies. The bell rings in the background. "Gotta go,"
The call ended. Tris replaced the bandage.
"It should be better tomorrow," she says giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'll go make you lunch," Tris concludes as she leaves the room.
"Hey Tris," Tobias calls just before Tris left the room
"Mmhhmm,"
"I owe you,"
"I know" she jokes before walking out.
Tobias laughs to himself. Four had known Tris for a couple of weeks and he could not describe how amazing she was.
Next Day
Both Four and Tris went to school the next day and it skimmed past quickly. Handing in assignments, getting assigned new ones and more learning. Tobias knew that Tris had skating practise this afternoon. She was the only one who did skating in the group. Tobias went up to Christina.
"Hey Chris, can you help me with something?" Four asks "It's for Tris,"
"Sure, just never call me that," she says
"Okay, well after yesterday I wanted to get her a dress and everything for the Winter Ball," he explains
"You came to the right person," Chrissy says excitedly "Let's go"
Christina grabbed her things and so did Four before both driving to the shops heading out. It was an hour until Christina found the perfect dress for Tris. It was shimmery like a diamond it reached the floor with one slit. It was strapless and had a sweetheart neckline.
"Here, Tris will love this but it's like really expensive," Chrissy says
Four just takes the dress and purchases it.
"Well, okay," Chrissy says
Christina grabs a pair of silver stilettos that cross over at the front and Four buys them. Christina walks past a jewellery shop and looks at the set of diamond earrings, necklaces, bracelet and ring that Tris said she loved but Christina knew it was ridiculously expensive. Four could see the look in Christina's eyes a set of diamond jewellery. It had a look of that's way too expensive. Four remembered that look from his mother's eye when she would see his father buy extremely expensive alcohol. Four took note of the store to come back later and get it.
"Christina, thanks for helping me," Four says
"It's fine I kind of wanted to choose her outfit for the night, so it's a win, win,"
Before you know it Chrissy drives off. Four goes back to the jewellery store and purchases the set before heading to the florists to tell them to deliver the flowers, the jewellery, the shoes and the dress the morning of the ball.
"Yes that's good," Tris compliments Tracy, a skate teammate. Tracy had just landed her double axel.
"Hey girls, why are there like no people ever in the skate team?" Tris asks
"People think it's lame since skating is such a popular sport in the nation and we are never good enough to qualify for anywhere and most of us are considered nerds so none of the 'popular people' talk to us or even look at us," one of the team mates replies.
"By the end of this season I promise you guys that you will at least have came first in a competition but that will only happen if you practise your routines all the time, stretch and really love skating," Tris deals
"Okay on three say Verges, one, two, three, VERGES," the team says.
"Hey Tris," Tracy calls
"Yeah,"
"Thanks for helping me land my double axel, your a great person and team captain, I hope your not too cool or popular for me to become your friend," Tracy says
"I don't believe that one if too cool or popular to become friend with someone else, Tracy you are kind, funny, smart and pretty girl and also a great skater, you shouldn't think of yourself too low," Tris admits.
"Thank you," she says before heading off to the change rooms.
"Nice speech captain," a familiar voice rings.
"Four," Tris says delighted skating over to the other side of the rink. "You can skate?"
"You bet I can," he says skating in circles before braking in the middle.
"Hey, you shouldn't do too much," Tris worries.
"Don't worry, your nursing skills makes it feel like it was never there," Four says going over to hug her waist.
"How do you manage everything?" Tobias asks
"What do you mean?"
"You have to prepare a routine for States in ice skating, you need to get the Cheerleading Team a contract signed by a gym that makes the team an All-Star or something like that to get them to competitions," Tobias mentions
"Well, for one, my parents help with the All-Star in the making thing and I've prepared my routine ages ago," she explains
"Your amazing, you know that right," Tobias whispers in her ear.
"Not as amazing as you," she whispers back. "I've got to change,"
"Okay, I'll drive you back since I dropped you off this morning to school," Tobias says "I'll be on the bench outside of the change rooms,"
Tris nods before having a quick shower and changing into black sweats, a grey sweater with a white singlet underneath before placing on her UGG boots. She grabbed her bag and walked out.
She saw Tobias waiting for her. She never knew when she was going to ask him is he was Marcus's son. She knew he didn't want to be recognized as his son if he had changed his name and never talked about his family.
"Hey," she greeted as she walks over to Tobias. He snakes his arm around her waist as he greets her back. A couple of the Tris's skate teammates walk past.
"Oh Tris, if you want we were heading to the arcade to eat and play, it's what we always do after training did you want to come," Tracy invites.
"Sure, but do you mind if he comes, he's kind of my ride," Tris says pointing to Four.
"Oh, uhhh that would be fine," Tracy says nervously but yet surprised. The hottest guy in the school was going to be at their nerdy little after-traning meals and games.
Tris looks up at Tobias.
"Do you mind?" she asks
"As long as your there," he whispers so close to her ear she could her the vibrations though his throat when he spoke. He kisses the top of her ear before hopping into his car with Tris.
They arrive at some retro looking arcade place which also provides a food bar. Tris orders a burger while Four says he already ate. They sat with the skate team at a large table.
"So what have you guys ever done on the skate team," Tris asks
"Last year we competed within the district and our best skater who was Tracy came fourth, we never made it further," one of her teammates say.
"Well, one of you guys should at least reach states or further this time," Tris says
"Easy for you to say, you've already perfected your quad axle," Tracy says while eating some of her fries.
Four picks up one of Tris's fries and was about to eat it before Tris smacks his hand.
"Get your own fries," she scolds eating the fry.
"You've got tonnes there," Four complains
"Yeah and you have money," she replies
"Just one, please," Four says
"Fine," Tris says giving one of her beloved fries to him.
Most of the skate team were giggling at how vulnerable Four was when he was with Tris. They ended the day with playing some arcade games before heading back.
