Chapter 10

Tris POV

Waking up was like going for a mile run immediately after waking up from a long coma.

I spent Sunday cleaning the apartment, buying needs for the week, and even buying a few flowers for my medium-sized balcony.

Today was Monday and a lazy day for the first work day this week for us models at Hollister Co. I'm wearing black Hollister sweats, an old CheerSport hoodie, and have my hair in a high bun.

The schedule for today was just looking over the photos for our upcoming collection, help editing, and help the photographers decide which photos to heavily promote and which to cut. Usually not much work was needed.

On most days like this we would will sit in one of our dressing rooms with friends and play on our phones. The photographers only needed us for about half an hour altogether usually.

I try to stay awake as I sip my hot chocolate during the warm month of June while blankly watching TV. I will drink Hot chocolate every other morning no matter what the temperature is outside.

On cue the weather man appeared on my kitchen TV and discussed the weather forecast for today. 78 degrees, cloudy, and a 81% chance of rain. Great.

I was still lucky though because I will be inside all day anyway and planned to take the subway back home tonight. I only took the subway when I didn't feel like paying money for a taxi or walking home.

I collapsed onto a beanbag chair in my dressing room I felt myself dozing off just to be woken up by Marlene and Shauna coming in.

"Someone is tired." Shauna laughed as she sat herself on the floor in front of my beanbag and Marlene took the high chair in the corner.

"I didn't fall asleep until 3am last night." I admitted with a frown.

"Well, Four was asking about you!" Marlene joined in with a huge smile spreading across her face. Shauna turned her head around towards Marlene and I could almost image Shauna's upset face at her friend.

"He did?" I questioned, not really believing it. Yea, me and him were friends but he didn't know me and I didn't know him. I wasn't sure if I want to keep it that way.

"Yea, he wanted us to ask you if you were okay." Marlene said, confusion purposely being heard in her voice.

"That's weird." I shrugged and leaned back until I felt my back on the wall. I haven't done anything recently that would jeopardize my wellness.

Friday I went to the club with Christina and Will and later that night Will dropped me off at my house. Saturday I slept and laid around the house. Then Sunday I cleaned and shopped. Unless sleeping and working was hazardous I couldn't think of anything.

"Anyways, how was your weekend?" I ask both Marlene and Shauna.

"I went to visit my family upstate and went shopping at Macy's." Marlene said with a smile. Her parents were around 50 and lived near Saratoga New York. I've met them when they come down to the city and they're pretty nice. Last time they gave me some flowers.

"I did nothing. Shauna said with a smile.

"No surprise there!" I laughed along with Shauna and Marlene. A minute later we were disrupted.

"Tris, we need you." Andrew said. I faked a smile at Shauna and Marlene that they knew all too well and got up and followed Andrew to the studio.

"Could you possible do a stunt with one of the guys? I know this day wasn't supposed to be used to taking photos but this pose would be perfect for some wall photos among our shops in malls.

"Alright. Let me just change and stuff, I don't mind which guy." I actually minded a lot. I didn't know nobody who could stunt even a light weight kid. I was a little over 100 pounds, which isn't a lot but I am used to level four and five cheerleaders stunting me.

"Meet me on the roof!" Andrew called to me as I walked away.

I returned to my dressing room to see a new visitor among Marlene and Shauna. He was sitting on my beanbag eating some Doritos. Blake.

His dark hair was covering his eyes as he looked down at his extra hot Doritos. Shauna and Marlene were laughing at something he said. But when Marlene noticed me she smiled and soon the other two did too.

"You are making my room all dirty!" I raised my voice with humor and dashed to Blake and grabbed the Doritos out of his hands, finished the bag, and tossed them into the trashcan in a few seconds.

"What the hell!" Blake shouted while Marlene and Shauna laughed like maniacs.

"The only person allowed to eat here is me." I said with mock seriousness.

"I thought you would do some cartwheels towards me or something!" Blake said with a smile.

"Cartwheels are too easy for me." I stuck my tongue out and him. "One second, I have to do a few pictures." I said with real seriousness

"Why not me?" Blake complained while I gathered a loose floral crop-top and black shorts.

"Because your new." Shauna replied for me.

"Do you want us to leave you to change?" Marlene asked as I looked around the room.

"No thanks." I replied with a smile. Without warning I stripped off my sweats and sweatshirt. Underneath I was wearing a black bra and white panties. I ignored Blake gawking at me and put on my shorts and crop-top. Then in a blink of an eye I walked out of my room and down the short hallway while hearing Blake say loudly,

"Shit, she gave me a boner!" while Shauna and Marlene laughed.

I was blushing while going up the elevator to our roof. I knew Blake was kidding about having a boner from me. I couldn't even give a guy a boner if I were naked. I don't even think I have given a guy a boner before. My first time having sex was at a party with a drunk dude, he probably had a boner every day from watching porn.

Once I stepped onto the roof I frowned. Lucky for me it hasn't rained yet but it wasn't really pretty either. This is what we get for doing last-minute ideas.

I saw Four standing in the fake sand with Jenna. She was teaching Four base counts and how to get me in the air. Of course there will be mangers helping me onto the air until I was stable on Four's shoulders if needed. I also felt bad for Jenna, she probably really wanted this stunt but she was a base. I would give it up to her if I wasn't so selfish.

"Hey Four, ready for a shot at this?" I asked Four with a fake smile, ending his and Jenna's conversation. Four's blue eyes softened when he saw me. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?" I asked.

"Do you remember Friday at all?" He asked, his voice surprisingly very serious. I waited for Jenna to walk away before answering.

"No? What happened Friday?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

"Nothing, never mind." He seemed happy and disappointed. I decided to let it go for now though. "I think I have this stunt thing down, but if you fall lets hope someone will catch you."

Jenna stood behind me and Four was in front of me. I didn't trust either of them with this stunt but also had no choice.

Four squatted down and I stepped onto his thighs while grasping his raised hands. He was shaking, not out of my weight but his nerves. I felt sort of bad for him, he was probably as terrified as me. I then did the next step and put one leg onto Four's shoulder than the next. Now I was squatting with my legs on his shoulders, not trusting myself on standing just yet.

I heard Paul from in front of me to hurry up. I gulped before standing myself up on Four's shoulders. "Put your hands behind her ankles Four." Paul demanded.

"Wait! don't. I will fall if that happens, he isn't experienced." Paul just shook his head and repeated his demand.

There was a moment when I felt I was going to fall but a second later I also felt Four's large hands supporting my ankles with all his strength. "Arms up!" Jenna called from below me. With shaking arms I squeezed my stomach and raised my arms in the normal position and smiled.

And then it was over in a minute. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding when my feet hit the rooftop again.

"Did I do good?" Four asked with a worried smile.

"Almost as good as my old stunt team!" I said for his benefit. It did go well though.

"I thought I was going to drop you." He admitted.

"Me too." I laughed. I watched his blue eyes as they met mine before quickly looking away. "Well I have to go. Your invited to hang out with me, Blake, Marlene, and Shauna in my dressing room!" I said honestly.

"I'll stop by." He said before I headed back to the elevator.

"How was it?" Marlene asked when I returned to the room and again changed in front of them into my comfy clothes.

"Scary. Four had to stunt me." I admitted while collapsing next to Blake on the beanbag.

"Oh." Marlene said after a while.

"I heard I gave you a boner." I mocked Blake.

"Shut up, I was kidding." Blake smiled.

Four POV

I entered Tris's dressing room now changed into gray sweats and an old high school T-shirt. Marlene and Shauna were sitting on the floor while Blake and Tris sat together on a beanbag chair.

Seeing Tris so close to another guy willingly sparked something inside me. It felt like jealously but also had some other feeling in it I couldn't name.

"Hey Four!" Tris smiled up at me as I walked towards her and sat on a black studio chair with her name on it.

"Four, Tris was fangirling about you!" Shauna yelled. I heard Marlene star laughing and Tris grunting. "She was saying how hot you were shirtless and that your eyes were so cute!" She added.

"No, I didn't!" Tris objected. I looked down at her to see her cheeks flaring a strawberry color and Blake nodding his head.

"Liar! You even said you didn't know if you liked him or not!" Blake laughed.

"Ugh." Tris sighed as she covered her face with her little hands.

I didn't know if her friends were telling the truth and there was no way to find out. But I don't think I would hate it if Tris liked me.

Sorry I took so long to update.

I got a new puppy and his really time consuming and school has been hard. But please continue reading and leave a review!
