Tris POV

"Alright! Today we are running the 1 mile. You are going to be timed. The top 10 students will compete for the Javelint High 1 Mile Cup." Kevin announces. I've ran a couple miles before and I've been on the track team since junior high. I can handle this.

"Line up!" Kevin shouts. We all rush out the door and line up at the front of the school. The route for the mile is around the neighbour hood. We line up in a horizontal line, toes behind the edge of the road.

"Ready, get set, GO!" Four yells and blows his whistle. I start at a fast jog and pace myself. Molly and Lauren are behind me already loosing air. I start to run when I hear elephant feet from behind. I'm half way, when someone knocks my feet from under me and I fall into a bush. "Ouch!" I mumble.

"Move it bitch!" Lauren shouts. That slut, I knew it was her. Molly and Lauren are now ahead of me, but the others are still far behind. I get up ignoring the pain, and I run a light sprint. I am now a couple feet away from them, and I see the finish line. I break into a full sprint to the finish line, Molly must hear because soon Lauren and her start sprinting, but I beat them to the finish.

"Time!" Kevin shouts, giving me a high five. David finishes a couple seconds after them.

"Ugh, that's not fair! She cheated!" Lauren growls.

"How?" Four asks.

"She pushed me on the floor." she replies. I gasp. How dare she.

"Are you kidding me? You guys knocked me to the ground." I say pointing at them.

"Is it true Tris?" Four asks. I nod. The other runners are finishing and gathering around.

"You don't have proof so you're a big fat liar." Molly says.

"Look at this!" I shout, I hold up my knee which has scrapes and blood, for everyone to see. I hear Kevin gasp.

"Molly, Lauren, Principles office now." Four shouts. The others look scared, David and I smirk at them.

"You will pay for this!" Molly shouts. I roll my eyes , and Four and David come to me.

"Are you alright Tris?" Four asks. He actually cares. Vanessa makes her way to join us.

"Ya I'm fine." I reply.

"Oh my gosh Tris! I'm so sorry." Vanessa proclaims. I'm so confused.

"It's not your fault, i'm feeling fine." I say. The rest of the students finish, and we head back inside.

"Okay, the list of the top ten students will be posted tomorrow. Class dismissed!" Four says. Everyone leaves and I head into the change room to grab my bags. Everyone had already left. Why is everyone gone so fast?

"Hey Tris." Four calls.

"Yea?"

"I got you a bandaid for your knee." he says.

"Thanks. But I don't need it."

"Yes you do, it's bleeding!" he replies.

"Fine." I say, loosing the argument. He peels the wrapper off the bandaid and applies it to my scrape.

"Thanks." I say. I leave the gym and head to my locker.

"Hey Tris, wanna go to the mall?" Vanessa asks.

"Sure. But I shouldn't get home too late." I respond.

"Don't worry." she says with a grin. What?

Zeke POV

The bell rings and classes are dismissed. I grab my bag and run to the front door. I'm excited to help with Tris' party, I'm all about parties.

"Hey man!" I shout.

"Hey." I see that Brian, Christina, Four and David are here as well.

"Let's get this rolling." David chants. We head out to our cars and drive to Dollarama.

Vanessa POV

Since Kevin told me to distract Tris until he texts me, I decided that Tris and I should go shopping. She needs something special to wear tonight, and I want to buy it for her. A birthday present from me for her. We drive to the mall and hit the shops.

First, we go to Forever 21. "OMG, gotta get this." Tris squeals, holding up a beige knit beach top.

"Tots gorg!" I reply. We grab things from numerous racks, and try them on.

She ends up buying the beige knit beach top, coral shorts, a floral high low skirt, and a graphic tee. I buy a matching graphic tee, black leggings, coral chiffon blouse, and a cropped sweatshirt.

Next, I pull Tris into a dress shop. "I don't need a dress." she whines.

"I'm going to buy you a dress for your birthday and you're going to wear it tonight." I demand.

"B-b-but, there's no party tonight." she says.

"So, you're coming to my place before you go home, and I want to see you wear it." I reply.

"Fine." she gives in.

We look at different dresses, too many, and non of them suit Tris. I decide to look at the Sherri Hill dresses, they're expensive, but they're beautiful, and I get a discount.

"You should wear this!" Tris yells, holding up a Sherri Hill long light purple strapless prom dress with rhinestones. I admit, it is pretty.

"I love it!" I say.

I quickly find a light blue strapless short prom dress with rhinestones and show her. "Likey?" I ask. She nods. We head to the change rooms and try them on.

"Pretty!" she says, "But I can't afford it", she adds.

"It's on me Tris, Happy Birthday. I get a discount here." I tell her.

"OMG THANKS YOU'RE THE BEST!" she yells. I go to the counter and pay for the dresses.

"Let's get shoes!" I shout. We go to nine west and try on different shoes. I find a pair of silver stilettos with light purple rhinestones on it. I quickly find my size and try them on. "You look amazing." Tris squeals. "Thanks!" I respond.

We end up buying my silver stilettos with purple rhinestones, and Tris' stilettos with light blue rhinestones on them. We pay for our own shoes and leave the mall.

We bring our bags to her car, and she drives us to my house.

Tris POV

So far, I had a really good day. I'm really glad Vanessa took me shopping. I'm excited to wear my dress tonight but there's no occasion. I drive us to her house, and we put on our dresses and stilettos, apply some makeup and leave her house.

"Where are we going?" I ask her.

"Can't say." she responds. Ugh, I hate surprises.

She drives my car and takes a very familiar route. My house?

"Why are we going to my house?" I ask. No answer.

There are a lot of cars on our street. Maybe the neighbours are having a party. Vanessa parks the car on my drive way, and we climb out of the car. She takes my hand and we head to the front door. "Ready?" she asks. Wait, ready for what?

She opens the door, then the lights flicker on. "SURPRISE!" everyone shouts. What? A party for me? OMG I'm going to cry.

"Happy Birthday!" everyone cheers.

"OMG Thank you so much!" I shout. Fighting back my happy tears to not ruin my makeup. The house is well decorated, everyone is in formal dress code.

"Happy Birthday sis." David says, hugging me.

"Did you do all of this?" I ask.

"Kevin and I planned it, and some of our friends helped." he explains. Kevin comes over with Zeke, Four, Christina and Brian.

"Happy Birthday Tris!" Christina yells.

"Thanks!" I say.

"Thank you so much guys, this means so much!" I say.

"Thank your brothers." Zeke says, "They planned all of it." he adds.

I smile widely, and give Kevin and David a bear hug.

"You look great Tris, did Vanessa take you shopping?" Kevin asks.

"Yup! This is the best day of my life." I say. He laughs.

"Let's get this party started!" Zeke yells, blasting the music.

Everyone starts dancing, and Vanessa and I talk on the couch.

"Thanks so much again!" I say to Vanessa.

"No problem, that's what Best friends do." she says. We hug for minutes until David comes over. He's gawking at Vanessa. "Hey David." I say, trying to steer him away from embarrassment.

"Hey. U-um, Vanessa, would you like to dance?" he stutters. Vanessa looks at me and I nod. "You look good." I hear David say as they head to the dance floor.

My view is blocked by a muscular guy. I look up and see those beautiful blue eyes. "Oh hey Four." I greet.

"Hey, you look hot tonight." he says. He blushes a bit, realizing what he said. He's holding a beer, so he's probably drunk.

"Thanks! You should thank Vanessa, she did all of this." I say.

Four POV

I see Tris sitting alone on the couch. She's staring at David and Vanessa. Woah wait, David and Vanessa? Tris looks good tonight, her dress looks amazing on her.

"Oh hey Four." she greets.

"Hey, you look hot tonight." I say. Wait what? I blush slightly.

"Thanks! You should thank Vanessa, she did all of this." she says. I will infact. I feel dizzy, oh I'm drinking that's why.

"Want a drink?" I ask.

"Sure." she responds. I take her hand and steer her to the table with beer and alcohol. She takes a beer and drinks it.

"So how's life." I ask. What kind of question is that Buffoon?

"Great!" She says.

Some one by accident bumps into her, and her body collides with mine.

"Sorry." she says, moving inches away. I suddenly miss her body heat, that was keeping me warm, seconds ago.

"It's fine." I respond. I can feel the tension in the air. "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" my brain says. What if she thinks I'm a freak.

I lean in, so our faces are inches apart. she leans in more, and I lean again, closing the space between us. My lips collide with hers, and we kiss, she kisses back and I deepen it. "You owe me 10 bucks David." a voice says. Tris breaks the kiss, and looks as confused as I am. I turn around and see Kevin smirking.

"I knew it." he mouths at me. I roll my eyes. David stumbles over with Vanessa, holding 10 bucks. Vanessa winks at me and I roll my eyes.

"Sorry, I-II" I start, scratching the back of my neck.

"It's fine, you probably have a girlfriend." she says, walking away. Wait!

"Wait Tris!" I grab her wrist and look her in the eyes. "I don't have a girlfriend, I like you." I continue. There I said it. I see a smile appear on her face, and she leans in to give me a kiss.
