Chapter 7
Tris POV
This morning I wake up dreaming. I keep wondering how Christina could come up with something so ridiculous. Four doesn't like me! How could he? I'm not special, pretty, anything that guys look for in a girl. A realization crashes down on me- I'm grasping for something out of my reach. I will never ever have four and that's final. I need to accept it. Every day, Christina talks to me about my little situation. She tries convincing me that he likes me but I don't buy it. Like, ever. I keep telling her to stop trying to make me feel better by lying She lies, yet again, to tell me that she's not lying. I don't buy that either.
Fours POV
This morning I woke up and I find myself dreaming of tris. I know I like her and I need her to know that but I'm waiting for the right moment. I'm gonna tell her today. Ill bet her to walk home with me and tell her while we're walking- perfect.
Today was the longest day of school. EVER. Tris met everyone already and Zeke says that he can see whati see in her. I'm not worried though. Zeke has the biggest crush on Shauna- she likes him too. But Christina runs to me in the middle of my thinking. SHe hands me a note and screeches "gotta go!" When I read the note I almost faint- 'tris likes you! Go talk to her- I thought u liked her and I tried telling her that but she doesn't believe me :)'
Pg break
I run into tris at her locker. "Hey tris"
"Hey four" she says
"Are you walking home today?" Straight out.
"I'm not 100% sure yet. Why?"
"We'll, I wanted to know If u wanted to walk w me. So...?"
"Yeah sure. Ill walk no problem." YES
"Ik it's random but I need to talk to u"
"What about?"
"You'll see..."
"Um... Ok then! C u later!"

Tris POV
Me and four are walking home. I hope that I don't seem awkward. Hopefully not.
"So" he begins "I really need to talk to u" suddenly I get worried. He sounds a bit worried too. What could he need to talk about with me?
"Yeah, ik. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah but I just thought that you deserve to know this." Oh shoot... Here comes the big stuff... He continues.
"Ik u like me" my feet stop and I almost trip. "How?" I ask him. I sound nervous, terrified and a but of curious.
"Christina told me." Now, I have a look on my face that seems like ill murder someone. And I will- Christina.
"Don't be mad though!" He keeps talking but I cut him off.
"How can I not b mad?! I trusted her and she blew it. "
"She did tell me for a very good reason though..." He practically sings the last two words.
"And what would that be?" I'm suddenly extremely curious.
"I really like you tris. I fell head over heels in love with you." I am silent. I'm also touched that Christina told him now. I feel like a little, vulnerable, emotional girl here.
"But how did she find out?"
"I told zeke that I like you. Christina and zeke talked and he told he Told her I like you. She RAN to me and handed me a note. It said you like me, that I should go talk to you, and that she tried convincing you that I like you and you didn't believe her."
I stare at him as like he's an alien.
"Okay, but I still don't understand"
"What?"
"Why do you like me?"
"What in the world do u mean?"
" I'm short, I'm not pretty, I'm not special- what do u even see in me?"
"You might be short- but UR the perfect hight for me. You're right- you're not pretty- you're gorgeous. And you are too special and u mean a ton to me. Over the last few days I've gotten to know you and UR amazing."
I feel complete and utter shock take over my expression.
"I don't believe you." He's shocked as much as I am. But the truth is that I DONT believe him...
"If I didnt mean that would I do this?"
He pulls me into a hug and kisses the top of my head.
"Fine..." I'm grinning ear to ear.
"So... What r we now?" He looks as happy as I am.
"I guess we're a couple but..."
"Nah, were not a couple yet." He says the last part with a grin threatening to plaster his face.
"Why not?" I'm so confused.
"I mean we are, but were not official."
"WHY NOT?!" Very confused...
"We need to go on a date!" Oh, that's not such a bad idea...
"Sounds good! When?"
"What about tonight? Would that work?"
"Sure! Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise!" We've stopped walking by now.
"Okay then..."
We continue walking now, down the block, in silence, until I think of something.
"So, you're my boyfriend?"
"And you're my girlfriend if that okay with you!" He stops. Looks at me and says
"You're really asking me that?" He pulls me into a warm hug and now has one arm on the small of my back. He pulls out of the hug. He looks me Into the eyes and gives me a long, slow kiss on the lips. He pulls away and looks at me.
"Kay fine..."
"Ill text you with the plans for tonight."
"Sounds great!"
He walked me to my house, kissed me and said goodbye. I watch him walk down the block, to his house. I go inside and lock myself in my room. I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! I seriously need time to let this sit. He likes me, I like him- its perfect. He hugged me, kissed me, held me close and smiled that adorable smile at me during that one walk home. What a walk. A walk to remember (A/N- I had to (: )
I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED FOR TONIGHT!
I don't tell Christina- yet. I need to tell her only when I'm ready.
I run up to my room to see what ill wear. What am I supposed to wear? Four didnt tel- before I finish that thought my phone buzzes. 'Hey tris. It's gonna be a casual first date- hope u don't mind... Pick u up at 7. C u soon ?' Awww. He's so cute. But he still didnt tell me where were going! Whatever ill just dress casual as I've been instructed. I grab a t-shirt that says 'POP' it's black with hot pink letters. I take jeggings, a bomber jacket and my high-tops and run to the bathroom and get dressed. It's 6:52- hell be here any minute. I finish up and run downstairs. I plop myself down on the couch and sit there thinking about what happened today. I still can't believe he likes me! Well, I know it's true. He kissed me and it felt so real. Like nothing I've ever felt. And no guy would ever have to guts to say things like that and not mean it. Finally the doorbell rings. OMG HE'S HERE. Instead of running to the door like I'm being chased by a criminal, I decide to walk slowly. If I ran and made too much noise he might be able to hear me through the door. That would only lead to an awkward conversation. I open the door. I look at him- he looks amazing. "Hey four! Come in!"
"Hey tris. You look amazing." He sounds awestruck.
"You too!" My heart is jumping out of my chest like a hyper frog on caffeine. "We need to discuss something right now. Come sit!"
"Sure is everything okay?" Haha. He sounds so worried. He's expecting something horrible.
"Hello?! Why didn't u tell me where were going yet?" I didnt even realize it but four was so tense. I only realized it after he un-tensed after he realized it wasn't so darn serious.
"I'm not going to. We're just gonna drive there. Lets get on the way!"
Suddenly I get so much more excited. "You're lucky I love surprises! Otherwise you'd be a dead boyfriend." Four stiffens at the last word. I guess he has to get used to me calling him that.
We get in the car driving.
"So, are you gonna tell me now?"
"Nope! I told you were just gonna drive there!"
"Fine. "
