Chapter 7
Tris's POV
Weird, when I asked Christina if she wanted to hang out today she said ,'No I'm busy, maybe another time."
I really just wanted to talk to her so I suggested we go shopping because I know she can't refuse to take me shopping but her reply really surprised me.
Her reply was, " I really want to go but I'm busy."
"Oh ok," I sighed.
I wanted to talk to at least one of the girls but they were all busy. In the last class I sit next to Four. Looking at him I notice that he's already looking at me.
I blush and ask, " Do the others appear to be avoiding you?"
" Yeah, it's weird," he says with a confused expression.
"I know, all the girls said they were busy, even after I said we could go shopping."
"Are you serious, did you make sure to check them for a temperature?" he asks with a shock expression.
I shake my head and say, "Do you want to go and see a movie or something? I would ask the group to come as well but they all appear to be busy."
I really hope he says yes, but I try not to get my hopes up in case he says no.
"Yeah sure. What movie do you want to see?" he asks.
" I don't know what's showing at the moment, so why don't we see when we get there," I reply with a shrug, as if I wasn't celebrating in my head.
" Ok, as long as it's not a chick flick," he says with a half serious tone.
" Nah, you don't need to worry about that, because I'm not really into chick flicks anyway."
" Really? Most girls love cheesy romances?" he replies surprised.
I chuckle because I know it's true and say, " I know, I don't mind them but they are so predictable. I mean they fall in love, something happens and they can't be together, they find away around the complication and live happily ever after."
He laughs and says, " I know right."
I'm about to reply, but the teacher interrupts and says, " Four, Tris. Care to explain what's so funny?"
I decide to make up an excuse because I'd rather not have the whole school know I'm going to the movies with Four and say, " Well you see, I was telling Four about a funny picture I saw online. It said ' Me at school: Maybe if I hit my head hard enough on the desk I'll die' "
The teacher rolls his eyes at us and turns to the board to continue his boring lesson. Thankfully, the bell rings and I don't need to hear another word from his boring mouth for the rest of the day.
At the sound of the bell everyone runs out of the classroom. Four and I get out the door before the teacher can say anything. We walk to the car park.
Four turns to me and questions are we taking your car or mine?"
I think a minute before I reply. I don't really want Caleb to question why my car isn't at home tonight so I say " Let's take mine. Then we can either come back or I'll drop you off and pick you up in the morning."
" Ok, let's do that and can you drop me off?"
" Yeah sure. Next stop the cinema!" I announce.
Four laughs as we hop in my car. All the way there we were singing to songs on the radio. When we get there we get snacks and try to pick a movie. We decide to pick one with a cool name.
After the movie finishes we are still laughing. The movie was hilarious. We leave the cinema and head to my car and slide in.
Turning to Four I ask " Where do you live?"
" 24 cake street," he replies.
" Really? I live 30 Rose street, your right around the corner from me."
We listen to quiet music and when we get there I ask ,"What time should I pick you up?"
" How about eight thirty to eight forty-five?"
" See you then," I reply with a smile.
I watch him walk inside and right before he goes he waves, I return the gesture and pull out.
Once I get home, I go to my room without encountering anyone. The rest of my day was boring, eat dinner with family, do dishes and head to my room. My dreams are peaceful and sweet, but I think it's because of Four.
Next day
Four's POV
I wake to an eerie silence. Getting ready, I realise my dad isn't home , typical. Then I remember that Tris is picking me up. Looking at the clock I see that Tris should be here any minute. As if she'd been called, I hear a knock at the door. I run to the door and swing it open. There before me is Tris smiling with an amused expression.
"What's so funny?" I ask.
"I could hear you running," she says with a chuckle.
I blush. Reply " We should go, we don't want to be late"
With that we hop in Tris's car and drive to school, again singing to every song on the radio. When we get to we head to where the group meets in the morning, we are still humming the tune of the song that was on a few seconds ago. When we get there everyone apart from Christina is here. Everyone looks at us questionably, must be because we are still humming.
" What are you humming?" Shauna asks.
" Shower. It was on the radio," Four replies with a shrug.
Just then Christina runs up to us. She looks like she's trying to say something but she's out breath.
" Someone told me that they saw Four and Tris getting out of Tris's car, but before they arrived Fours car was here. Care to explain?" Christina sad turning to Four and I. Crap how are we going to explain this without them thinking we are together.
