A/N Hey so I hope you all liked the last chapter, and you guys are all amazing. I love hearing what you all say! Thank you all! And I was going to update sooner but I was helping my brother, his friend and his GF move out of their old places (Three different places) and move them all into their new place they are sharing..so I have been up since 7 and it's almost 1AM ALSO One of my most face authors updated one of her AMAZING stories so I HAD to read it. (Her name is: DivergentFreak ... If you don't know her CHECK HER OUT! OMG DO IT!)
I go to school half asleep, didn't get much sleep last night. I walk along the halls feeling irritated and avoiding anyone I may know. "Four, I need to talk to you." A voice I know is the only person I'm willing to talk to today. I turn around and face her.
"Okay." I say, she grabs my arm and pulls me into the girls restroom, everyone is either in class or headed to class, she checks under the stalls to make sure no one is there. "Um, this is the girl room."
"No shit. Listen I would really like you to give me that letter." Oh so that is what this is about.
"Why?"
"So I can give it to you." She says in a girly voice. "So I can burn it!" She says seriously.
"Is it really that important to you?"
"No, it's just super embarrassing."
"It should be less embarrassing now that I have already read it."
"Yeah but you are blackmailing me so that means its embarrassing."
"Don't be embarrassed, I know how Marlene can be, once she thinks you may like someone then she forces you to do stuff like that." I begin to put two and two together, if Marlene made her do this does that mean Tris likes me?
"Well i-if she does think that I have no idea why." She says and crosses her arms, I'm not sure if it's just me being weird or not but her cheeks seem to be getting a little red.
"Well from what I remember she is usually right, but sometimes she's wrong."
"Well I think she is." We stand there awkwardly for a few minutes. "So can I get it back?"
"What will you do for me."
"ANYTHING!"
"Anything?"
"ANYTHING!"
"Okay. I will bring it tomorrow."
"No I'm coming over and you are giving it to me today. What do you want?"
"Not sure yet. But let's just say you owe me one."
"Fine."
"Fine." Once again the awkward silence. "I should uh, get to class, late already."
"Oh yeah, right sorry."
"It's fine." I say and leave.
All through class I can't concentrate because of Tris. Does she like me? Does she know I like her. I really like her. The class bell rings, I was only there for what 10-15 maybe 20 minutes. I walk out of class that was my second class for the say and I haven't had anyone, but Tris, come up to me and ask me any questions or even talk to me, I hope it stays that way.
"Four Hey, I have been trying to find you all day!" Christina says running up to me, to late.
"You found me."
"Okay I need to talk to you."
"Obviously."
"Meet me at lunch by...my locker. Or no yours."
"Christina."
"Hmm."
"Our lockers are like what five or six feet away."
"Fine just meet me in the general area.'
"Fine." I say and leave to my next class, with Zeke trying to keep up with me. I get to class and take a seat that is in the corner of the room in the back, leaving only one seat open, which he takes.
"Four, have you been avoiding me?"
"I've been avoiding everyone. Not really in a talking mood, didn't get much sleep."
"Okay, I will leave you alone. I just wanted to tall you what I heard from Marlene who heard from Max who heard from James who heard from Caleb, Tris' brother."
"What?" I say and look over at him.
"This isn't the right place I guess. I will come by later." Before I can argue the teacher walks in a hushes everyone. Great now I have Zeke not telling me something and Christina wanting to talk to me about god knows what, only upside, Tris is coming over after school, even if it is to get that letter.
When class ends Zeke rushes out the door but I catch him and pull him aside. "What did you hear?"
" I will tell you later man, I have to get to Shauna." Right as I'm about to stop him again Christina grabs me and pulls me aside.
"Hey!" I say.
"Don't 'Hey!' me. Listen I found out something today and I think you should take advantage of this information."
"What?" I say unenthusiastic-ly
"Tris likes you!" She quietly and starts to squeal jumping up and down. How does she know this? And why is she telling me?
"Okay." I say.
"Four Whatever your middle name is EATON! Everyone knows you like her it's so obvious and it's obvious that she likes you but it was just confirmed last night and I've been trying to tell you all day!" She says, the more she talks the more excited she gets.
"Hey Chris." Tris says coming up to us. "Hey Four."
"Hey Tris! Hows it going?" Christina says with lots of enthusiasm.
"Hey." I say flatly.
"It's going fine." She says. "I need to talk to you Chris."
"Okay. Uh Four, if what I said was true about you then take that opportunity. Cause I know what I said about...it..was one hundred percent true...okay well ninety-five percent but still!" She says and walk away with Tris.
Well shit. What am I supposed to do just go up to her and ask is she wants to go out, no. I will just ask Zeke.
I head to the lunch room and sit down next to Zeke. "Hey I need to talk to you. And it has to be before you leave." I say.
"Why?"
"I just do. And you can't come over after school, I forgot Tris is coming over she is picking up the blackmail item."
"Oh what did you get?"
"I told her she owe me."
"Owes you what?"
"Not sure yet."
"Well okay. Uh, lets skip practice and I will tell you want I was going to tell you and you can talk to me about whatever you need to talk to me about."
"Okay. We can meet at your car or mine."
"Your car."
"Okay my car."
"What about your car?" Tris says sitting down in front of me."
"Zeke is meeting me at my car after school."
"Oh. Okay. I forgot you guys where the cute gay couple of the school."
"What? we aren't gay?" Zeke says before I can. "I have a girlfriend."
"Still, that is what everyone says." Tris says with a smile.
"Why do they say that? It's not true?" I say.
"Oh my god, Four you are so gullible!" Tris says and laughs.
"I know I'm adorable." I say with a smirk.
"I didn't say that." She says anger-ly.
"I think you did." Zeke says. "I mean after what I heard I totally think you did say that."
"What did you hear?" Tris snaps.
"Can't say." Zeke smirk.
"Oh you so can."
"Ehh, nope. Nope I can't."
"Zeke Pedrad you tell me right now!"
"Tris Prior I will not!"
"OH MY GOD ZEKE NOW!" She yells, everyone looks over at us but then they go back to their conversations.
"I don't think you would want me to say it in front of everyone." Zeke says and tilts is head towards me. Tris looks at me okay looking at him is an understatement. If looks could kill Zeke would be dead. "If you want me to then I will."
"NO!" Tris snaps.
"Wait, first you want him to say it and now you don't." I say.
"Yeah. Now I don't, can we all just drop this. Zeke I need you to come with me. Now!" Tris says and storms out of the room. Zeke laughs and follows her, what is with everyone today?
"Oh my god Zeke knows to! Okay who all knows?" Christina says. Everyone at the table raises their hand but me.
"Knows what?" I say.
"Four! I just told you! Oh my god!"
"CHRISTINA! YOU TOLD HIM!" Marlene snaps.
"I couldn't help it I had to!"
"No you didn't!"
"Zeke was going to tell him today anyway." Shauna says.
"OH my god! Don't you think that is Tris' responsibility!"
"Not anymore, I mean hell we didn't even get the info from her! We got it from her brother Not even that, her brothers friends who told Max who told you Mar who told me who told all of you!" Shauna says.
While I just sit here and listen to them fight, or whatever. "hey Four. Are you going to ask her out or not?" Uriah says.
"No. Why would I?"
"Dude that is a total dick-ish thing to say."
"I didn't mean it like that. I mean Why would I ask her out, what if I don't want to?"
"But that's the thing Four. You do want to." Will says. Tris and Zeke walk back in the room just in times.
They sit down and start eating like nothing happen. Everyone's conversations change and we all just talk like nothing happen.
After school while everyone is at practice or they left home, Zeke meets me at my car, I finally get to know what he heard.
"Okay man. Tris like you."
"Okay." Second person to tell me that. "What makes you so sure?"
"Like I told you I heard it from-"
"Yeah I know you told me but how can I believe you and why would I care if she likes me."
"Because she confirmed it, when we were talking in the hall this is what she said.' Listen Zeke you are embarrassing me! You know how I feel about Four obviously so stop!' And that is how I know."
"Okay. But if I do ask her out I don't want her to think I'm just doing it because I know she likes me."
"True. Crap. We all ruined it."
"There was nothing to ruin."
"Oh trust me there was, and we totally fucked it up. Sorry man."
"Uh, it's okay I guess?" I say.
I didn't realize how long we were talking until I saw everyone coming out of the school building.
"Four, Hurry and get home I don't want to be waiting..again." Tris says getting in her car.
"Right okay." I say and get in my car. Zeke winks at me and walk over to Shauna. I start my car and leave for home.
I pull up and Tris is right behind me. She gets out of her car and catches up to me when I reach my porch. "Perfect timing." She says and walks in the house after me.
"Okay, it's upstairs. Come on."
"Sweet. Thank you again, even if I'm made at you for blackmailing me and reading it."
I laugh and run up the stairs, Tris right behind me. I go over to the desk and get the letter. "Here it is." I say, she takes the note and puts it in her pocket.
"Thank you." She says and stand on her toes and kisses me on the cheek then runs out the room, I stand there in shock of what just happen, then I come to my senses and follow her down stairs she's about to leave when I speak, after being speechless...
"Uh if you want to you can stay, we can order pizza or something." She stops at the door and looks behind at me.
"I'll call my mom and ask her."
"Okay." She steps outside and five minutes later shes comes back in.
"Sure."
"I'll order it now. Pepperoni?"
"You know it." She says and sits on the couch. I grab my phone and order the pizza.
"Okay It should be here in a half hour. "
"Okay. "
"So you said that my last party sucked right."
"Oh it didn't totally suck, I mostly said that to get you to host another party."
"Okay then. Do you want to plan the next one we can do that while we wait." I say and sit next to her.
"Okay. For starters better food."
"Okay. SO better food, more drinks I'm guessing we ran out last time."
"More dance-y music."
"We had dance-y music, hell me and you even danced."
"Well yeah but more than 10 songs on repeat. Make a party playlist. I will help." She starts to name off some song.
"Okay we will do that. What else." As I say that the pizza guy comes, I hand him 30 bucks and tell him to keep what ever the change is. Then I bring the pizza t the couch and Tris and I sit there planning the party and eating Pizza for the next two or three hours. When it's time for her to leave it's almost 9.
"Okay I will come by tomorrow I guess and make the playlist with you okay."
"Okay sounds like a plan."
"Thanks for having me and thanks for this." She says holding the letter.
"Yeah no problem." I walk her out to her car and wave to her as she drive off.
When I go inside I lay down and all I can think about is she kissed me. Even if it was the cheek, she still kissed me.
