Chapter 10
TRIS POV
"We have how many days until the Olympic Trials?" I ask Christina.
"It's Saturday "she says. Picking up her mango smoothie.
"Well, we're leaving on Thursday" she says, sipping her smoothie, "How'd the date go, I forgot to ask?"
"Well" I say nodding, "Really well"
She chuckles, "No kidding. You two kissed. The videos all over the media"
I roll my eyes, "If you knew, then why'd you ask"
"Because" she says shrugging her shoulders, she grabs a ball, and she juggles it on her wrists "Soon my face will be on the media, too"
"Yah" I say, putting my smoothie down, "I guess"
I grab a ball, and juggle it too. I haven't really talked to Tobias; actually, I haven't really talked to anyone besides Christina with the Olympic Trials right around the corner.
But I still remember that Monday morning.
When I woke up that Monday morning, I felt refreshed, and clean. I remember that I forgot Tobias was there, and he totally scared the crap out of me, by coming out of the bathroom.
"We are sooooo making it in!"Christina says, snapping me back into reality, "Did you know that Francesca Meyers is going to be there there?!Eek!"
Francesca Meyers is an actress Christina and I love.
I catch the ball, "Really?" She nods, and I continue "Well, soon we'll have their numbers, and we'll call them whenever we want-we'll stop getting excited over them"
"Stop!" she says, putting a hand up, "The day I stop getting excited about my fandom is the day my fan girl badge is stripped from me, and I will always be a fan girl and get excited for my fandom"
After a minute of silence, I clap.
"Christina, you should be a poet!" I say, chuckling.
"I know" she says, putting a hand to her heart.
We laugh until I say, "Let's play a one on one"
She nods.
PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK.
"Come on, Mom!" I say, my suitcase rolling behind me "We're going to be late!"
"We are not going to miss our flight" she says, running out of breath "They are not going to take off without you"
"Who knows?" I yell, running towards our gate. I am not out of breath, of course, but my mother, being not as fit,is.
"Tris!" someone yells. I toss my head to the side, but no one's there. I finally find the gate, and people are staring at me.
"Last call for flight 993" a woman over the speaker says, "Last call for flight 993"
I run towards the gate, and give her my ticket, "Sorry we're late"
"It's okay, go on in "she says, assuring, and my mom follows closely behind. I look at my flight ticket and see that I'm in seat 1A and smile. Window seat!
I step aboard the plane, and find Tobias seated in 1B. He smiles at me, and I put my luggage in the over head bins. I scoot towards my window seat, saying "Excuse me" and I finally sit down.
I watch my mo finally get on, putting her small baggage under the seat in front of her, which happens to be right behind me.
"Hey" Tobias says.
"Hey yourself" I say.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Not much since I last saw you" I say, shrugging, "You?"
"Zeke finally asked Shauna out, Uriah finally asked Marlene out" he says. He stiffens when the plane begins to move. Oh ya, I forgot he was afraid of heights.
Luckily I got window seat, so he doesn't have to see the outside. I grab his hand, and squeeze it, "You okay?" I ask him.
He nods, "Kinda"
"Just look at me" I say, smiling at him.
A video on a screen in front of us begins playing. The instructional video plays, which hopefully takes Tobias' mind off of things.
After the video, we take off, and I watch as I leave California, and I go east, towards Spain. I release a breath. When we're airborne, Tobias and I watch a movie on the TV. He pulls out some headphones and offers one to me, which I happily put in my ear. I let him pick out the movie, considering he is the one that needs a distraction from fear.
He picks out Back to the Future (A/N: I have NEVER watched this movie. Like ever. My friends are like 'Watch it!' and I'm like, okay, just lend it to me' and their all like 'we don't have it!' Sorry, back to the future. I mean story)
Somewhere in the middle, I end up falling asleep on his shoulder.
"Tris" he says, shaking me, "We just landed, it's time to get off the plane"
I smile, and fix my hair, grabbing my stuff from the overhead bins. I didn't eat lunch the whole plane ride because I was sleeping, so afterwards, we grab some pizza. My mom and I have been to Spain before, so we know a lot of Spanish.
We pile into different taxis, me riding with Will, Christina, my mom, and Tobias.
The hotel is beautiful. It seems so ancient, and it's so amazing, words couldn't describe it. The lobby boys took our luggage up to our rooms, as I walked around looking at the features.
"Hopefully you don't mind sharing a room with me" my mom says, smiling. I chuckle, "Of course not"
"It's only what, half a week?" she says.
I nod, "Saturdays the big day" I say, plopping down in a big soft chair.
My mom goes to get our room key, while Christina comes up to, careful not to disturb the other people in the building.
"Tris" Christina says, "I wanna make out with Will, but when I tried to everyone looked at me weird"
"What?" I ask, "What are you asking me for? Advice?" She nods. "Then just, as Demi Lovato says, 'Really don't care'. As in just make out"
She nods. I close my eyes.
Wow. That was a First World Problem right there.
"Trissy" I hear. Tobias.
"What?" I groan.
"Come here" he says. I open my eyes, and stand up, "What do you need?"
I face him, and he puts a hand on my shoulder.
"We are going on a date" he says.
"Wait what?" I ask. My first date was actually Sunday. When we went ice skating. He wants to take me out again?
"Yah" he says, "You and me, are going somewhere "
"Uhhhhh….." I drag on. As long as I don't tell Christina, I can manage, "Yah"
"Great" he says, walking towards his hotel room, "Dress comfortably"
PAGE BREAK
I double-checked and made sure everything looked good. My Hunger Games T-shirt is a bit over sized, but I tuck it into my jeans.
My mom did a braided headband for me after she was done unpacking her stuff.
I decided to not wear any makeup. Actually, time decided. By the time I finished tying thesnakers; Tobias was already knocking on the door.
I grab a purse, and my mom wishes me luck. I open the door, stepping out. Tobias smiles at me, taking my hand. I realize he is wearing a plaid shirt and blue jeans.
"You look amazing "he whispers into my ear. I smile, "So do you"
When we step into the empty elevator, I say, "Care to tell me where we're going?"
"Nope" he says, popping the 'p', "It's a surprise" I groan. I hate surprises and he knows it.
After a long well-paid taxi ride, Tobias covers my eyes, taking me out of the cab, as I say, "I trust you to not let me run into a pole or something"
He chuckles, "Why would I run you into a pole" I shrug my shoulders.
After a few more steps, he finally takes his hands off my eyes, and I gape, "Where are we?"
"I think it's more like, 'What are we doing?'" he says, chuckling.
"What are we doing?" I ask, as he wraps his hands around me.
"We, my dear Trissy" he says, "We are going zip lining"
