CHAPTER 9
Tris POV
Stupid Four. But look on the bright side, I did win the challenge today, not that it requires too much skill. As long as you're a girl, I guess anything's possible haha. Flying back to the school took me forever, maybe because I wasn't really flying fast enough.
I'm sure I'm slower than a snail. Maybe it's bad of me to compare myself with what god made, but who cares anyways?
As I landed in front of the school, again I wondered about our world and Earth. Surely they must have noticed this building or something? Stupid me and my stupid thoughts. I let out a heavy sigh and pushed open the double glass doors.
I just bought a new shirtdress that goes with my shoes! Who says angels couldn't look stylish? I was humming a tune I heard at the mall the other day. Human music was really interesting compared to what us angels call 'music'.
They're just chiming bells ringing and it was never fun to listen to that. It is really annoying and it didn't help that Christina had all the 'songs' on her playlists. God, I'd surely put that as another reason why I like Earth so much.
The speaker set up in the corridors sounded. I patiently waited as I heard the shuffling of papers. "Attention to all students. There would be a 3-day holiday starting tomorrow, as you've all known. Marking the day the angels and devils come to a disagreement. Every subjects would also have to make their own decisions, that means no need for the guardians to be present."
I was fist pumping! Yes! I really do need to clear my mind of school stuffs or I would've gone cuckoo. A smile was plastered to my face as I headed back to my room. What plans do I have in mind?
Unfortunately, Chris made the decision for me. She already packed my things in a bag. "What are you doing?" I asked as I entered the room. "We're going away, silly," she giggled as if it's the most obvious thing. Maybe it is…
"Where to?" I asked again. I've noticed even Marlene was ready for the trip only I didn't know about. "It's just a 3 days 2 nights trip, we're leaving now and will be back by Thursday. Friday is still off, and the weekends are also off so no worries dear," Marlene said. "Okay. But seriously, where are we going? The suspense is killing me!" I said. Christina giggled. "We're going to….
Four POV
"Dudes we're leaving!" Zeke exclaimed. Peter and Eric were hanging around in our room. "Where to?" I asked absently. "I don't know, somewhere fun, duh," Zeke stated like it's the most obvious thing ever. I'm always asking the obvious, that doesn't make me stupid though.
"There's a place south from here that my man owned. Everything we ever need will be there!" Zeke exclaimed excitedly. Yay. I groaned, I'm in no mood for packing.
"Okay, just until this Thursday right? I need to get back here soon," I said. He raised an eyebrow. "What could you possibly want to do here?" Peter asked, eyes still glued to the screen of his phone. I shrugged and started throwing clothes into my bag.
"We're leaving in 30 minutes," Zeke told everyone. Me and Eric nodded. Peter on the other hand, didn't move an inch. What the fuck was he looking at? I crept silently behind him and peered over his shoulder. He was stalking…an angel? A blonde angel? Tris is the only blondie…oh.
I have half a mind to punch him but instead, I just yelled in his ear. "Get your ass up and go pack! We're leaving with or without you!"
He jumped half a foot in the air and covered is phone. Too late for that, I thought. I saw that, and it would be embarrassing if others know he's stalking a fucking angel. "Sheesh, no need to get your panties in a twist," he snickered.
Before I could do some physical damage to him, he took off. Believe me, it was the smartest thing he did since I knew him. Who would've thought devils could possibly be that stupid? Our transport came not too long after and everyone was ready. Goodbye school. No need to get all emotional. Scratch that. Haha just kidding, fuck you school!
Tris POV
"Where in Heaven's name are we?" I asked. I'm not entirely an expert in reading maps of this world but I know each and every inch of heaven. It's not really that hard to remember. It is huge! And I've only explored halfway through heaven. I haven't really got enough time to travel more, my parents later developed into 'selflessnesses', if the word exists.
We were in our human form, because Christina and Marlene said it would be more fun. "Be patient, darling," Christina said. "We're not there yet." She piled all our bags in a boat and motioned for us to come in. Marlene got in easily and I tripped on the wet surface of the dock. Fortunately, Chris caught me or my butt would've suffered.
"Do you even know how to drive a boat?" I asked uncertainly. "You underestimate me way too much. I'm hurt," Christina put her hand on her heart and sniffed. I rolled my eyes. "Drama queen," I muttered. She laughed. "Of course I do! Even if I can't and I won't admit it, Marlene here is a pro," she said.
Uh-oh. Did she just confirm that she's an o-kay boat driver or did she not? Oh why can't we use our wings! So much for having more fun riding a boat and stuff. I bet we wouldn't have too much fun if somehow we got injured before reaching our destination….
"Woah! Where are we?" I asked, gaping. "We are at my private island! The one I told you about that one time, remember?" Marlene said excitedly. I racked my brain. It does sound familiar but I don't think I was really paying attention or I would've remembered her saying that… She doesn't need to know that. "Yeah, of course I remembered! Lucky you," I think I managed to sound okay.
"I'm sure your parents have way much more money than me. It's just because of their selflessness," she said softly. Good girl doesn't know how to boast. I just nodded, not knowing what to reply. "So, we're the only ones here, right? We don't have to deal with…. Devils?" I asked. The tone I'm using is weird. And unexplainable. Maybe it's just a disgusted tone. Maybe….
"Nah. We're here with the housekeepers and possibly the cook. I think the guys might also come here, but I'm not sure. No devils though," she added. I nodded. I bet Caleb wouldn't have come here even if he was invited. "I'd rather read books than burn myself under the sun, god bless you Beatrice" I'm sure that would be his exact words.
We pulled our bags to an enormous house and got in. It was magnificent! I don't know how else to describe it. The majority of the furniture are made of wood, and it smells like lavender in here. There were 6 rooms in total, but the housekeepers aren't staying there. They have their own home somewhere close.
Instead of picking a room each, we decided to just crash into a room. That way it won't crash the real reason we were here in the first place. And that is to have fun. I swear to god, they wouldn't do anything that won't involve having fun and I'm tired of using the word.
Four POV
My jaw dropped. The place was so fucking awesome! I would've thought Zeke meant a scary, run down shack or something but….wow. "Dude! Awesome place!" Eric exclaimed, slapping Zeke hard on the back which made him lost his balance.
Before he could fully trip though, he managed to regain himself. "Technically, it's not my place. It is, but it isn't," he stated. Man, that guy is confusing. "Whatever," Peter pushed past them and into the mansion. There were 4 bedrooms. Also a game room, arcade whatever you call those things.
To sum it all up, it's fucking awesome. I plopped on the couch and turned on the tv. I already unpacked into one of the rooms and the other two were still unpacking. Not Zeke, he didn't really bring much of anything, he has his own things here.
"Wanna go out to the beach later?" he asked, mouth full of chips. "I'm good, I think I might just take a nap for a while," I said, still flipping through the channels. "You're beating the whole reason we come here for. We're here to have fun. Some fucking fun which won't be allowed at school. There is a tv in our room back there so turn it off and go change," he ordered.
I looked at him. Where did THIS come from? I wanted to laugh but it's not always he asks me for something. I sighed and got up. "Fine, I'll be back later," I told him. He grinned. "It fucking worked," I heard him mutter under his breath.
I smirked. Asshole.
Heee, is this worth it? I mean, it was longer but not the longest I think. It's 1am here. On a school night. Damn, I have so many ideas right now and it wouldn't be right to postpone the next update. Unfortunately, I have to stop here And OMG I seriously didn't expect you guys to love it so much and I'm really thrilled to be writing more because of the lovely reviews you posted. :') Thank you! You don't know how happy I am! Okay, enough talking. Let's go on to the waiting haha I'll try my best to update sooner than last chapter
