A/N I am so sorry I haven't updated in almost a month I have been so busy and I know that is not the best excuse but it's the truth. I am really sorry. Thank you all so much for reading this story! It means the world to me!
I realize during my second class I didn't have any dreams of Tris. I also didn't see her today at all, maybe our paths just didn't happen to cross. "Hey man How'd it go with Tris last night?" Uriah says.
"Her car is almost fixed it got to dark to work so I took her home, going to finish it today though."
"Really all you did was fix her car. You didn't get her dinner."
"We ordered pizza then on the way home we got ice cream."
"You really don't know how to wine em and dine em do you."
"Huh?"
"You have to take her out somewhere nice and open doors for her and help her in her chairs and all the shit chicks like."
"Hey Four. What time should I be at your place?" Tris says walking by.
"I can take you after school if you want to just wait there."
"Sure! See you after school." She says and walks off.
"Damn! You already got her asking to go to your place."
"Yeah...to fix her car! WOW! watch out we got something juicy going here! They be fixing a car!" I tease.
"Never know. Guys fixing a car can be sexy to a girl."
"And guys with a black eye can be frightening so watch it."
"Fine. I'll be over after school."
"What? Why?"
"Because I can. See ya." Uriah says and walks off to class. I roll my eyes and get the stuff I need for my next class and head to it.
By the time lunch comes I am relieved, I just want to get out of here and get home. I mean I like school...sometimes. Today is one of those days where I just want to get home.
Zeke comes over and sits next to me with his lunch. "You are hosting a party. This Friday."
"Zeke that's tomorrow."
"Yeah. You know Shauna's beginning of the year party, well she had to cancel, it turns out her parents are leave next week instead of tonight. So I said it was going to be at your house since your dad is never home it's perfect."
"Yeah...perfect."
"Invite whoever you want by the way, it's your party"
"Yeah. Okay."
"I'll pass the word around. See ya!" He says and leaves the table, I am alone again, it's nice but not at the same time. That's when Tris comes over and sits next to me.
"Hey. So I hear there is a party at your house tomorrow."
"Yeah I just heard about that like less then five minutes ago." She laughs a little. "Are you going?"
"I don't know. Maybe."
"You should." She nods a little. After five minutes of awkward silence she says: "Soo."
"So?" I say back.
"Uh. So my car should be done today for sure?"
"Yes, if not I will be your personal slave." She laughs a little.
"Okay. I'll see ya after school."
"Yeah, see ya."
I get up after she does and walk to my next class and final class, I grab a seat and wait for class to begin.
I am the first one on the field which is weird since I'm always the last one on the field, not even the coach is here. I can see the cheer leaders way on the other side of the field just stretching and talking, I know almost all of them, by almost I mean maybe half. I can see Shauna she is waving me over so I run over there.
"Yeah?" I say when I reach her.
"Zeke said you were going to host the party but he didn't even know I had to cancel so I just want to make sure that you know about this."
"Yeah, he told me at lunch."
"Okay, at least he told you. Is it fine if I invite people?"
"It's your party I'm just hosting it, you invite whoever you want."
"Okay sweet! Thanks Four, you're a savior!"
"Yup. Oh looks like practice is about to start see ya." She nods.
"See ya."
"Hey Four!" Tris says just as I'm leaving.
"Hey! Uh" I look over at the team they are all stretching. "I'll meet you at my car after practice." I say and run off to stretch with the team.
"Where were you?" Zeke says.
"Talking with Shauna she wanted to tell me about the party."
"Oh, yeah. Did I tell you about that?"
"Yeah, at lunch."
"Okay good."
Practice goes on like always running stretching going over plays the usual, nothing ever really changes when it comes to football practice.
I head to my car without showering, I probably stink but you know what I don't want to get clean then fix her car get all dirty, then have to take another shower. So I just head to my car, I wait there for her to come out which is faster than I thought it would take her.
"That was faster than I thought you would take."
"Why because I'm a girl?"
"Well yeah."
"You jerk." She says with a push. "No I would have taken longer I just didn't shower, I'm going to do that at home, so I hope you don't mind me being sweaty...and maybe even stinky. Great just what I need to be stinky in front of a guy. I totally should have listened to Marlene when she said to shower."
"No you can't smell as bad as me." I say and sniff her, I plug my nose and wave my hand. "I'm sorry you can't ride with me you smell like...like..like GIRL!" I say and back away from her.
"Stop! You're being an ass hole!" She says and shoves me hard...well hard for a playful shove.
"Get in the car." I say and get in the diver seat.
"Oh so now you are kidnapping me!"
"Fine. Don't come and watch me fix your car." I start the car.
"Fine! Wait!" She says and opens the door throwing her stuff in the back with mine and getting in.
"Good choice." I say.
"Jerk."
"I can't help it, it comes way to naturally. I can never seem to stop it."
"Oh my god! You are so full of yourself!"
"Sometimes. Well it's hard to tell when I am just you know...me." I say and laugh.
"OH MY GOD!" She says laughing as we drive down the road.
"Don't 'oh my god' me you know you don't think I'm full of myself."
"Okay. You're right. I think you're a dork."
"Aw come on! What do you really think of me?" I say seriously. She can tell because her face goes straight and she does't speak.
"I think...I think you're a actual person, like not a fake jock that likes to hit on every girl just to get her to sleep with you. I don't know, I think you're a normal kind guy who has deep dark secrets he doesn't like to share."
"I have no clue you knew so much about me, you must be stalking me." She laughs.
"You wish. Now tell me what you think of me."
"That's easy. I think that you don't know that you are actually really beautiful and a lot of guys hit on you but you don't know it, you just think they're being nice. And I think you don't really like being a cheer leader but you do it for your friends and you don't like to disappoint people. And you also have deep dark secrets that you don't like to share."
Tris doesn't answer, she just looks out her window. "Was I right?" I say, it's been to long for an answer.
"Keep your eyes on the road. And yes. You were almost right. I do like being a cheer leader."
"Ah I was so close to getting it all right."
"Not close enough."
"Eh I'd beg to differ."
"You jerk." She says and elbows me.
"Hey, hey, hey! Driving here." I tease.
We pull up to the curb of my driveway, I stop the engine and get out, Tris follows behind as I walk in the house.
"Okay so we can either order pizza again or we can go out. It's up to you."
"Go out?"
"Like to Sara's or something."
"Oh okay. Uh I don't care."
"Well while I finish your car you decide what you want to do, I am up for anything. You can stay inside if you want, I'm just going to finish this up, should take no more than an hour."
"Okay." She says and sits down on the couch and turn on the TV. I stand in the doorway watching her for a second, then I head outside.
I reattach the the timer belt and put everything back together. I am glad I did't take a shower I am full of grease I feel like I have it on my face, it's all over my hands. Putting the engine back together took faster than I thought like forty minutes. I walk inside and Tris is coming down the stairs.
"Hey, sorry I had to use the bathroom, so I went looking for it. Found it though." She says with a shy smile.
"Oh that's fine. Uh, Your car is done. I'm going to go shower and we can get some food. Okay?"
"Okay. I'll just wait here."
I run upstairs and head to the bathroom, I take off my clothes and get in the shower, nice and hot. I am out within five minutes, would have taken longer but I don't want to keep Tris waiting. I slip on some clean clothes and head down stairs, Tris is sitting on the couch. "Pizza or going out?" I say.
"I don't care."
"Lets go out. We had pizza last night so lets change it up."
"Okay. I'm driving!"
"Fine, but I'm paying."
"Deal." We head out the door and get in her car, she starts it. "Oh my god yes! It feels like forever since I have driven my baby." She pulls out of the driveway and we head down the street. It's weird seeing her drive, but it's also nice watching her drive, how she concentrates on the road so much and doesn't let anything really distract her. "Stop staring at me, you're being distracting."
"How, I'm just watching you drive."
"I don't watch you drive."
"Yes you do. I have seen you."
"If I do then it's not as much as you."
"But I like watching you drive."
"I don't care it's distracting!"
"Fine. I'll look at the road."
"You do that." She says with a laugh.
