XxWednesdayxX
I wake early in the morning to the sound of my alarm. I groan and shove my head in my pillow. I slam my hand down on the alarm clock and when I look at it, I see a few pieces are on the ground. Guess I need a new alarm clock, again. I pick up the pieces and throw away the clock.
I run downstairs and search for my mother. I find her in the living room, reading the newspaper.
"Hey mum, I need a new clock." She looks up at me with a raised eyebrow and a small smirk.
"Again little pup?" She asks. I nod with a small smile and she laughs lightly. I trot to the kitchen and grab an orange. I focus and make one of my nails turn into a claw and easily poke a hole in the peel. I pull it off and retract the claw. I bite into the orange and juice floods my mouth. I'm not usually a fruit type of person, being part wolf and all, but I make an exception for oranges. I like them a lot, but not as much as meet. I finish it quickly and grab my bag off the coat rack. I run to school and watch as cars fly by me.
I bug flies around my ear and I swat at it irritatedly. It just comes back every time I try and chase it away. I finally turn my head and snap at it. It's actually sorta normal for wolfbloods to eat flies. I just never made a habit of it, but that one was really annoying. I sit up in the branches of the tree we normally meet at and wait for everyone to get here.
Eventually the group comes and gathers under the tree.
Christina glances around. "Where's Tris?" I see Tobias smirk a bit and he looks up, scratching his neck so no one suspects he's looking at me. I place a finger over my lips to motion him to be quiet and he nods slightly before looking at the group.
"I don't know, she's usually here." Uriah says and looks around. I move deftly from branch to branch until I stand over him and hand my feet over the aside, but out of sight. I slide myself to the edge of the branch and hang over Uriah. I drop off the branch and yell as I fall on top of him. He makes a sound of surprise as we tumble tot the ground and I somersault off of him, laughing like crazy. "God Tris! You practice gave me a heart attack!" He exclaims. This makes me laugh harder and I hear everyone else laughing.
"How long were you up there?" Will asks.
"Ummm...maybe like 18 minutes." I say. I'm not exactly sure. All I know was that I was waiting a while. I chuckle and lean against the tree. "Let's just say I waited a while."
"Ok, well today's a sports day! What you guys wanna do?" Chris says happily. Oh yah. I forgot about that.
"Well, we actually have something to do. We need to go meet the Airline pack." Tobias says.
"Oh I almost forgot about that!" Zeke exclaims. "We need to make a peace agreement wight them. But one problem. It's supposed to be a leader making the agreement, meaning, we need a temporary leader." Oh that is a problem. We think of each other as equal so we don't have a pack leader.
"Ok how bout we vote a leader?" Will says. We all agree and Uriah grabs his baseball cap from his bag. We write down who we think should be leader and put them in the hat so it unanimous. In the end, Tobias is temporary leader. I knew it!
"Well. I guess we should get going." He says. We sign out and head towards the forest. I trot beside Tobias and slip my hand into his. He glances down at me and smiles. He kisses my cheek and I feel pink tinge my cheeks. We come to the little clearing where I first met them as wolfbloods and wait.
"Is this like always the meeting place?" I ask.
"Sorta. This is the place in between all four schools. Equal distance from each." Tobias explains in his calm and smooth voice. I've noticed that it holds a lot of power behind it, almost demanding for attention. I nod and push the thought away. No time to think about strange stuff. "Guys turn into wolves. That's how they're coming." he warns. I quickly shift and start clawing the ground nervously. I haven't meet anyone from another school yet. I trot up beside Tobias and lick his chin.
I hear a rustle of leaves and turn to look at the wolf entering. She has a bright red coat and bright brown/amber eyes. She trots up and stands evenly in front of Tobias. He dominates her in size and muscle, but she seems to have a knowledge in her eyes that could mean a witty and quick thinking personality. She dips her head in greeting and he reciprocates it.
"Four. It's nice to meet you." She says smoothly.
"Britta." He says evenly.
"So we have a peace agreement to get to. I would like to talk to you in private with my beta. You can bring yours to." She says and flicks her tail toward an opening in the bush. I Carmel colored wolf steps forward and they walk toward the opening.
"Come on Tris." Tobias murmurs. He wants me to be his beta? Wow. I'm the new girl to the group and he want my help with the peace agreement. I follow behind him and we walk after them.
"This is Emily." Britta says and motions to her companion.
"Hi, I'm Tris." I introduce myself. They nod and Emily smiles a bit at me.
"So Four. To the agreement?"
"Ahh yes. I would like to suggest peace between our two packs. We won't cross into your territory and you won't ours. If laws are broken though I will order my pack to show disciplinary actions." he says without any hesitation. He really take these things seriously, not that I thought he didn't.
"Yes. And same for mine. If your pack crosses the border we will be forced into action. I swear to peace if no violations are broken."
"I swear." He repeats. This is amazing. I have never known about the rituals between wolfblood packs. I've never even been in one. I smile at the fact this is my first pack. They both nods at each other and Tobias turns to head back. We walk back to the group and find each pack on other sides of the clearing.
The other pack seems so calm and collected. They sit in a circle calmly and talk quietly. While our group stand on the other side walking around in circles and pacing.
"Nobody got killed so I guess it went well?" Marlene asks. I nod and wag my tail.
"Four is amazing!" I yip happily. He flicks me with his tail and I bark quietly with laughter. "You were. You acted so calm and collected. I was so nervous and just..." I don't finish my sentence and shake my head. He brushes his tail over my withers and I look back up. "So what else we gonna do today?"
"Well...we could go grab some lunch, then go see a movie." Uriah suggests. Wednesdays are really just freedays I guess.
"That sounds awesome." i say. Everyone says ok and we head out. "Where we going for lunch?"
"How about IHOP!" Zeke exclaims.
"Oh I love IHOP!" Uriah yells. I chuckle and continue to walk beside Tobias. Our arms brush frequently and I feel a tingle every time. I surprise a shiver and turn my attention back to the conversation.
When we get there we ask for a table, and since it's a school day, we get on pretty quickly. We get a fairly large booth and I look at my menu. It all looks delicious! I decide on cinnastacks. Pancakes with cinnamon glaze and whipped cream. Yum! When I get it, it smells better than I thought it would. My first bite, the glaze melts in my mouth and the pancakes are so soft and light. It's delicious!
I finish quickly and look at everyone else. Yikes, I eat way to fast. Everyone else is like half way through there meals, and I'm done. I groan and drop my head on the table. I'm just glad that I don't gain weight from what I eat. Well I do, but not enough to make me chubby. Just enough to fit my growth.
"What is it Tris?" Tobias asks. I can hear the amusement in his voice.
"I eat to fast." I mutter. He chuckles and I feel a warm hand rub my back.
"No problem Tris. I still love ya." He jokes. I snort and whack his arm Lightly.
"Not funny Four." I mutter but lean my head against this shoulder. His laugh vibrates through me and I can't restrain a small smile. "So what movie we gonna see?" I ask Uriah and Zeke.
"We were thinking Rio 2" Uriah says.
"Isn't that a kidish movie?" I ask. He shrugs.
"Of course not!" Zeke says confidently. I roll my eyes. We pay the bill and head to the movie theater. It seems like everyone is at school and work, because almost no ones here. I'm about to pay for my ticket when Tobias cuts in front of me, paying for two tickets. I scowl at him and he gives me a heart warming smile that immediately makes me melt. He smirks when I look away and wraps his arm around my waist.
"Want a snack?" He asks.
"I can pay myself thank you very much." I retort.
He gives me a pleading puppy dog face. Which is sorta ironic considering he is a wolf. "Please Trissy." He whines. I shake my head and scowl. He frowns but then his eyes glint with mischief. Oh no. He starts to tickle me and I giggle. I start to gasp for breath and swat at his hands but he won't stop.
"Please...stop!" I squeal through my laughter. "Ok...you can...pay!" I say. He stops and I pant for air. He has a victorious look on his face and smiles down at me. I roll my eyes and I look over to the group to see amused smirks. I scowl at them and walk over to the snack counter. I look at the assortments of candy and other food. I get a small popcorn and medium coca cola.
We walk to the room where the movies playing and get seat right in the middle. I put my soda in the cupholder and lift the arm separating me from Tobias. I snuggle into his side and he wraps his arm around my shoulder. He is so warm and his arms feel like safety. I lay my head against his chest and turn my attention to the screen. The movie is just starting.
XxAfterMoviexX
That was actually better than I thought it would be. I loved the frog. She was so hilarious and over dramatic. We walk out to the main entrance and Uriah and Zeke talk about their favorite character and scene. I chuckle as they argue about the best scene. I start to think of all the Shakespeare that was incorporated into the movie. It added a boost to the movie I think. We walk back to school and sign in.
I drag Tobias over to the corner and he looks down at me expectantly. "Do you wanna come to my house after school?" I ask quietly. He smiles and cocks his head.
"Sure. And why am I invited?" He asks.
"Well, you are my boyfriend," his smile widens at that word. "Is it a crime that I want to spend time with you?" He shrugs.
"I don't know is it?" He raises his eyebrow. Is he trying to be difficult?
"Is this a crime?" I wrap my arms around his neck and stand on my tippy toes. I press my lips to his and he seems a Bit shocked. He seems to get out of his daze and wraps his arms around my waist. He deepens the kiss and asks for permission To enter. I slowly open my mouth and his tongue darts in tentatively. I let my tongue clash with his and I feel a fire spread through me. I pull back for breath and gaze into his eyes that are now a darker blue than usual. "Guess it's not a crime, huh?" I say teasingly.
"Definitly not." He mutters. I smirk and give him one chaste kiss before the bell rings. I drag him outside and I find that he is still a bit dazed. I reach into his pocket to grab his keys and see him gulp. I chuckle and unlock his car.
"You ok Toby?" I ask.
"Umm..yah..sure." He says and shakes his head. I see a wildness in his eyes that I haven't seen before and he gets in the driver seat. He drives to my house quickly and we run up to my room. I'm glad I cleaned my room yesterday or else I'd be very embarrassed. I sit on my neatly made bed and watch as he surveys my room.
"What you lookin for?" I ask.
"oh nothing, I just like your room." He says. I smile slightly and pat the bed beside me. Ok now to get serious.
"Tobias, how are things with...him?" he shrugs.
"He has been a lot more subdued lately. He hasn't hit me at all, just mutters on about me being a worthless pile of trash."
"Your not a worthless pile of trash. You are a wonderful, caring boyfriend." I correct him. He smiles slightly but it doesn't seem to meet his eyes. I kiss his cheek and lie down on the bed. He seems to be thinking very hard so I just let my thoughts wander. I take moment to really look at him. He has a defined jaw and you can see slight stumble growing on it, he has broad muscles, but they aren't to big, his brilliant blue eyes captivate me as it is, and his wrinkled brow in concentration. Anyone could see he is quite handsome. So why does he like me?
"Tobias, I have a question." I say slowly. He snaps out of his thoughts and looks at me. His eyes implore me to continue. "You could have had any girl you wanted at school, but you chose me. I just don't get it. I'm small, I'm not pretty, I'm no..."
"No Tris, don't say those things. I haven't given any girl a second glance except you. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever meet and I love you just the way you are." He says, not erupting me. I feel wetness in my eyes and they aren't from sadness. I smile at him and he gives me that heart melting smile. I sit up and wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head on his chest.
"Do you really mean that?"
"Of course I do." He whispers and kisses the top of my head. I feel a pleasant warmth spread through me and I hold on tighter. He is my rock, what keeps me grounded to this earth. He is also Tobias, my Tobias, and I never plan on letting him go.
