So I'm writing your reading what a cowinkydink. Ok not really. I know I'm awkward but whatever, I might be not updating every day because I am considering another story. I know annoying I am but, I want to do it so… I'll let you know when I post it, so you can check it out if you are interested.
I lift my head when I smell fries. I see Uriah walk into the art room. "Hey Uriah." I say with a smile inching across my lips, when I see that he is carrying a Wendy's bag. "Trissy." He says sitting beside me. Chris smiles to, "Fries" She says laughing. We sit and eat fries, there is a sub and it's pretty obvious she doesn't care. She has stuck in headphones and is jamming out to herself. Who hires these people?
I ride out the rest of the day with fake smiles and plastered on grin, all to suppress the real way I feel. I want to be with Tobias. I miss the warmth of his hand in mine. I walk to Chris's house after school.
"Who?" She begs. I shrug my shoulders. "Who?" She pleads adding a little more wine every time she asks. "I know, it's Uriah!" She shouts out. I shake my head. "Sure, Trissy!" She teases. I swear one more person says Trissy again. I roll my eyes. "It isn't." I say easily.
"Well, Uriah might think so if I don't hear an answer soon." I feel my facial expression change even though I didn't want it to. I silently scold myself. "Ah but I'm on the right track, you do like someone."
"Tris, please don't tell me you're into girls!" She whispers. I give her my most appalling face (Not against that it or with it. I didn't want to offend anyone though).
"I'm not into girls, it's just h-… I don't want anyone to know." She looks up, then down, then up again. "You started to say he," She says putting the puzzle pieces together "You are dating someone!" She squeals, then jumps up and down.
"Who?" I fall into a bean bag by her bed. "Does it matter?" I ask. I would rather not go into details about a guy I'm dating that I don't really know. "Oh course it matters!" She almost screams. "Not really." I say at this point knowing she isn't going to let.
"Please just tell me who!" I give in but, I don't let her know any major details. "Well, he's older." She stops me there "Zeke!" She blurts out. "No," I stop her "Let me finish." She pretends to zip her mouth and throw away a key.
"He is really sweet," She gasps. "Well, now that you have a boyfriend." She grabs my wrist and drags me to her bathroom. She puts pink lip stain on me, I roll my eyes. "Keep those still!" She pulls out tweezers and I back against the shower curtain, then almost fall in. "Klutz!" She grabs my hand and pulls me up. "Your eyebrows, and lip hair have to go!" She squeals.
I feel my eyes sting and I want her to stop. I know she won't so don't bother to say anything. When she is done she makes me look at myself in the mirror. I look better. Better than I did.
"See, every once in a while I'm good for something." We laugh together. I really do look better though.
"Thanks," I hug her "But I'm still not telling you!" She whimpers. "Oh come on Tris please!" I shake my head. "Fine but I will find out." She pouts. I shrug.
I decide I should walk home a little later. When I get inside it's almost 8:00. I walk up to my room and settle in my bed. I have this really bad feeling that tomorrow I will need this extra rest.

I wake up and without realizing it I'm smiling. It's Friday! Yes, I waited so long. This is the day most every teen loves, the day that marks two days without school.
I throw on a T-shirt and a skirt. I put on my tennis shoes, I'm such fruit. I look at myself in the mirror I look like an idiot. Whatever it's Friday.
"Going for an early jog!" I yell knowing I'll get no response. I walk out the door and sling my backpack over my shoulder. I sit my backpack at the stop and put a note on it for Susan. I start off down the street and feel wind rush on my legs, maybe this wasn't the best idea.
I decide to walk back. When I get there Caleb is flirting with Susan. Ew. "Hey Caleb." I say. His face is red when he turns to me, yeah he defiantly likes her. "Hey Tris" Susan is smiling. She always so nice.
We wait a couple minutes, with them going on, and on about stupid stuff. When I see the bus it's like my savior. "Bus!" I yell. "Okay Tris, I see it." Caleb talks slowly.
When we get on I turn to Susan. "You like him." She shrugs "Well-" I stick my tongue out. "You do too!" I laugh. She giggles. "Maybe, a little." We talk about my brother for the rest of the ride there.
"Bye Susan!" I say walking the direction of math class. I get in and claim my seat by Chris. I watch and take notes. Today's lesson is pretty easy so sail through it. I walk to social studies. Coach Shannon late as always. About four minutes after the bell rings, he rounds the corner.
"Ok kids, come in!" His voice booms through the hallway. I walk in behind Will and we take our seats at the table we claimed on the first day. I watch Christina sit in my seat across from Will. So I just sigh and sit in front of Uriah.
"Hey Tris." Uriah smiles at me. I nod my head in the direction of Chris. He winks "Yeah I know." I'm surprised that he knows, then again he does hang out with Will often. We have to partner up. It's not that I don't like Uriah, he's a good friend, but I argue with Will on who gets Chris.
"Well, we are best friends!" He smirks "Well we're dating!" I laugh and hug Chris. "BFFs over BFs!" He rolls his eyes "Never heard that one." He sigh. I wonder. "So no one's going to fight over me, I see how it is." Uriah huffs.
"Let's just get to work." Will shoves Uriah.
We just work on a few things. In science I fall asleep while Marlene takes notes for me. When I wake she's shaking me. "What?" I croak out. "The bells is about to ring." She whispers. I thank her and shove my things in my backpack and throw it on.
"I walk with you." Marlene says when the bell rings. We walk down the hill and all she talks about is Uriah. Which kind of makes me think she likes him. I part ways, so I can go get dressed. I walk out in my usual athletics wear. I see Peter standing where I usually see Tobias. "Hey moron." Peter growls. "Has-been" I say pushing past him. He grabs my arm and I try to pull it away but he's too strong. "If you ever embarrass me again, moron, it will be your last time doing so." He lets go and walks away like he said nothing.
I get that feeling you get when you want to do something bad, but don't. I leave out that last part. I walk up behind him and kick him in the nuts. "Trash" I scream and spit in his face. I walk away before he can say or do anything else to me. I'm going to have to watch my back now. I start on my workout and I see Peter across the field glaring at me. I scrunch my nose and bare my teeth like a dog would when I get close to him.
Tobias sees me and I can tell he is worried. When he looks at me to confirm I shrug it off.
