A/N I have some really sad new if you already didn't hear this by now but. Philip Seymour Hoffman is dead. He didn't of over-dose in his apartment he was found this morning. If you don't know him he played in many films including The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as HeadGameMaker Plutarch Heavensbee. We have lost such a great man, and a great actor. I don't know what Lionsgate ha played for the next 2 movies since they already started filming MockingJay Part 1 I mean they could just recast him, or not have him in there at all but I am not sure, all I know is how sad this is. He was so great, so amazing, so talented, they world has lost such a great man.
I sit in my room writing I haven't done this in a while, I have 2 hours until Tobias picks me up, he says he has something special planed. I don't know what it could be though, and he won't give me any hints, I guess I'm supposed to dress up too.
The one thing I love to do when I write is listen to music but right now I only have one headphone that works, I know how to fix the other I just need to get a part. I put my laptop aside and walk over to my drawer full of random stuff, I grab an old glass bottle that has two ear-buds with only one head phone. I cut off the broken one and kept the working on in case I even needed it and I need it now. I grab one that matches my pair I have right now, and take out the speaker part, not the wire, and I put it in my broken headphones, I put both headphone in my ears and they work. Even amount of sound, it use to be one was more silent because the speaker part fell out some how, but now they both work.
"Tris! Come down here please." I hear my father yell up the stairs. I put my headphones on the bed and open my door, and walk down the stairs.
"Yeah?" I say when I see him in the living-room.
"Your mother tells me you are going out again tonight?"
"I was kind of planing to, if it was okay with you." I say, which is true I haven't texted Tobias back because I've been waiting for my dad to come home so I could make sure it was okay with him.
"You've been going out a lot lately. I miss seeing you." He says.
"I know, I promise I will be home the next few days, Four said he has a surprise tonight, and he won't give me any hints." I say, I actually really want to go out tonight, usually I could careless if we went out or not, I wouldn't mind just staying at my house and just talking or watching a movie, playing a game. I guess that's what we could do next time.
"Okay fine, you win. Be home by 12:00." He says, I am a little shocked I usually have to be home by 10 or 11.
"12:00? Really?" I say.
"Yeah, not 12:01, 12:00 On the nose or sooner." I smile a little.
"Okay, thanks dad." I say and kiss his cheek. I run upstairs I have to find something to wear, and text Tobias.
'We still on tonight? Parents said yes.' -T
Within 2 minutes he texts me back.
'Yeah we are still on! I will pick you up in a half hour.' -T
A half hour I don't have much time. I grab my phone and dial Christina's number, she answers on the 2nd ring.
"Tris." she says.
"I need your help asap, can you get to my house within 5 maybe ten minutes?" I say.
"Yeah, Leaving now. Why?"
"I am going out with Four, and he wants me to dress up, he's going to be here in a half hour."
"Okay. I will be there in 8 minutes." She hangs up with out saying 'bye'. I sit on my bed and wait. within 2 minutes I get bored and head to Caleb's room.
I knock twice and walk in. "If you were just going to walk in what was the point in knocking." He says not even looking at me, his face glued to the computer screen.
"I don't know." I say and sit on his bed.
"What do you want? Having boy problems, cuz I can't help you with that."
"If I was having boy problems I wouldn't come to you. I just came in here because I'm waiting for a friend to get here to help me get ready to go."
"I don't care what you're waiting for. You know Beatrice, I am not really happy about your choice in guys. I mean Four? Really that's the best you can do? There are so many other guys I could hook you up with if I knew you wanted a boyfriend." I wouldn't want to date ANY of Caleb's friends they are all weird.
"Yeah, well I wasn't looking for a boyfriend, but Four is actually really nice, I am going to have him over soon and you have to be social and you will be downstairs with us."
"When are you planing this?" He stops playing his game and looks at me.
"Not sure yet, maybe sometime next week. Or this week. I have to talk to mom and dad."
"Don't. There is no reason to get to know him, he is trouble Tris. Just saying."
"Shut up." I say and get up, once I open his door to leave there is a knock on the front door. "COME IN!" I yell, I lean over the railing and see Christina.
"Tris! Please don't lean over the railing, you know it scares me when you do that." My mother says.
"Sorry." I apologize. Christina smiles at my mom and dad and heads up stairs.
"Hey!" She says and hugs me. "Okay so you have to tell me everything that's going down tonight."
We walk in my room and I close the door, I sit on my bed and she opens her make up bag and starts my make up. "I am not sure. Four said it was a surprise."
"Oh! Then I think I might know what it is. I am not telling you though." She says with a grim smile.
"Come on! If you know then tell me! I want to be prepared."
"No. I am not telling you now shut your mouth. What are you wearing?" I groan.
"Not sure yet." I say.
"Okay, well first we can look through your stuff, if I find nothing then I have something you could wear."
She is done my make up in 5 minutes, Tobias will be here in 10.
"Okay, uh. No. No. No. No. Why do you even own this? Never. Not today. Not for this. Nope. OH MY GOD!" I hear, after Christina has just about ripped my closet apart. "TRIS! YOU HAVE TO WEAR THIS!" She shouts. She pulls out a black dress that goes 3 inches above my knees it isn't tight but it fits perfectly I like the dress, I just never have an occasion to wear it.
"Okay." I say, and slip into the dress.
"Damn Tris, why have you never worn this before?" Christina says looking at me in the dress.
"Never had an occasion to wear it I guess, and I may have forgot about it."
"You have to wear this more often it looks amazing on you!"
"Okay." I hear a knock on the front door. I start to head out of the room.
"TRIS! We forgot your hair! It's still in a pony tail." Christina says, my hair doesn't look that bad.
"It's fine, I don't want to not look like me." I say and leave the room, she follows behind.
"I really think we should fix it. At least have to down." She says when we reach the bottom of the stairs. Tobias is talking with my dad near the front door.
"Hey, Four." Christina says.
"Hey Christi-" Four says but stop not even finishing Christina's name. "Tris. Uh, hey!" He says and walk over to me, he give me a small hug.
"Hi. Can we leave?" I say, I don't like how everybody is looking at me.
"Oh yeah. Lets go." He says, and takes my hand.
"Be back before midnight. Be careful. Have fun." My dad says. I smile at him. Christina follows us out and walks over to her car.
"Hey! Have fun you two." She says and winks at me.
I get in Tobias car and wait for him to start the car but he just stares at me. "Start the car." I say.
"Oh, yeah right." He starts the car, and pulls out of the driveway.
"Can I ask where we are going?"
"Nope." He says popping the P.
"Fine." I say.
We drive in silence for what seems like hours but is only five minutes.
"I like you hair tonight Tris." He says and flicks my pony tail.
"Yeah, thought I would do something different." I say with a smile.
"Yeah, I can tell. I mean you're dressed in the same clothes and no make up, but your hair is so different." He teases. I laugh a little.
"You are such a dork."
"I know. But really, you look really pretty."
"Tobias. I am not pretty."
"Fine you're right. You're beautiful. Sometimes I mean there are times when you don't look so hot."
"Well there are times when you aren't being so dick-ish, and right now ain't one of them."
We pull to a stop light and he stops, and looks over at me. "Okay. Okay. I'm just teasing." He put his hand on my cheek and leans in to kiss me, but someone behind us honks. I smile a little, he turns a slight shade of red and hits the gas pedal.
"So what are some of your favorite bands Tris?" He says randomly.
"Uh, at the moment, I really like Ellie Goulding. And Florence + The Machine."
"Huh. Never heard Ellie Goulding. But I like Florence sometimes. I am more of an Imagine Dragons guy or The Script their pretty awesome."
"Ellie is awesome. I also love Imagine Dragons, and The Script. If you like the music I like then you will love Ellie, she is awesome. I think my favorite song right now is either 'Dead in the water.' Or 'The Writer.' They are so good."
"Do you have them on your Ipod? And do you have your Ipod?"
"I do. But I lost my Ipod like 3 days ago."
"Well last time I saw it, you had it in my car."
"Last time I say it, it was in my car. But I looked there today and couldn't find it."
"Look around in here. Like the glove box."
"I don't think I left it in here. But okay." I look around on the seat. Nothing. I open the glove box. "Hey! Why do you have my Ipod. You Jerk-face! I have been looking for this everywhere!"
"Hey, you left it in here. I didn't take it. I would have brought it back to you but I forgot it was in there."
"Your such a liar." I say and plug my Ipod into his car audio jack. I turn shuffle on and turn the volume up a little so we can still talk, but with some music in the background.
"Okay so, we should be at the restaurant in about 2 minutes." He says.
"Alright." For the next three minutes the car is silent a nice silent, I think. Finally we get to the restaurant, it's called 'The Pier' one of the most expensive restaurants in Chicago. "We are going here?" I ask.
"Yeah. Is there something wrong with this?" He says, he gets out of the car and runs over to opens my door. Once again I can open the door by myself, I don't tell him that, I am getting use to him opening doors for me.
"No. It's just really expensive. My parents never go here because how much they charge."
"Well. I wanted to take you here. Because I-I can." He says with a smile. I shrug and get out of the car. He held out his arm. "Shall we Ma'lady?" I grab his arm and laugh a little.
"God you are so cheese-y."
"That's okay though."
"Sometimes. it's okay, sometimes." He says.
We walk in the restaurant and wait to be seated. Tobias goes up to the counter after a few minutes and I don't know what he is saying but the worker seems to be apologizing. Tobias comes back with a smile, and a waiter brings us to our table.
When the waiter is gone I ask him what was he saying to the guy behind the counter.
"Well I told him that my date and I have been waiting for a seat then he asked me if we had a reservation and I said yes and I told him what name it was under and then he got us a waiter to seat us. Bam we are now here."
"You made a reservation?"
"Of course I did. Now. Lets order some food and then we can finish the rest of the night." I nod.
- PAGE BREAKERS! -
I am sitting in the car waiting for Tobias to come out of the gas station, apparently he forgot gas before he came to get me.
All of a sudden the drive door opens and he hopes in, I jump a little. "God! You friggin scared me! I didn't see you come out of the gas station!" He starts to laugh. "It's not funny!"
"Well it is to me. I should have popped in front of your window, that would have scared you even more!"
"You are a real ass hat you know that. God. Now you are being really dick-ish." He just laughs more, I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car, and start to walk.
"Tris! Hey where are you going?" He says still laughing.
"I am going to walk home."
"We are really far from your house, and it's only 9:20. Come on get back in the car."
"No! You are being a total ass!" Before I know it he is standing behind me.
"Tris. Listen. I am sorry for laughing. Really."
"Sure you are. If I was taken right here right now would you laugh. I'm just saying you freaking scared me!"
He grabbed my hand, but I yanked it away. He just grabbed my shoulder turned me a round and kissed me. I forget why I was mad as I melt into the kiss. He pulls a way a little. "Forgive me?" He says. I kiss him again lightly on the lips.
"You are lucky I'm in a forgiving mood."
"Yeah. I guess I am lucky. But I am also lucky to have you. I mean it was a pain in the butt just getting you to talk to me again after you made me hit your car."
"Like I always say, you hit me. It wasn't my fault."
"Sure, it wasn't." He says with a laugh, he grabs my hand and leads me back to the car. I roll my eyes and get in the car.
"Okay, where are we going now?"
"We are going to the surprise." He says and drive off from the gas station.
He stops the car and gets out, I get out before he comes around. "Okay so you wait here I will be right back." He says.
Five minutes later I and grabbed from behind I scream. "Shh! It's just me, Uriah."
"Uriah what the hell are you doing here!"
"Just follow me." He says.
"Fine, but you better have a good reason for grabbing me from behind, of I will hurt you."
"Oh I do." He says with a smile. I follow him to a building he opens the door and once I walk in he closes it. The room is dark, there is no light.
"Uriah?" I say. All of a sudden the lights go in and Tobias is standing in the middle of the room. The room is decorated in white and snowflakes, little bits of fake snow all over the ground, Behind him is all of our friends holding up a word I read what it says. I break into a smile, I try to push the tears from my eyes but one of the slips down my cheek.
"Tris. Will you go to the winter formal with me?" Tobias says.
"You know I can read." I say teasing him.
"I know, I just wanted to say it." I laugh and break out in tears. No one has ever done something so special for me. "So? Will you?"
He walks over to me and wipes the tears from my cheeks. "Yes. Yes, I will go to winter formal with you." I say, everyone claps and yells. I hug Tobias tightly and whisper in his ear. "Thank you."
He wraps his hand around my waist and whispers in my ear. "No. Thank you Tris."
