Divergent, honestly, was pretty good. I kept trying to find flaws or stuff that was missed. I didn't find too much the overall was there. My brother and dad hadn't read the book and they still didn't have too many confused questions. It was just a few, what does that mean? Or what's about to happen? Now on to the chapter… - Rae
Tris POV
.
"Hello?" I answer groggily.
"Tris get your behind out of that bed now."
"Why, Chris."
"Shopping"
"Can't we go tomorrow?"
"Bryce and you have dance tomorrow. Get up, wake up Four, and meet us at the mall. You have 20 minutes." I hang up the phone and wake Tobias, he sleeps over a lot more often now. We go our separate ways to take showers and get ready. I light a lavender candle and just take a shower. An ache-free shower. When I get out, I put on eyeliner, mascara, and clear gloss. Nothing special. I decide on something easy to change in and out of: blue leggings, a white tank top, and a black cardigan with black combat boots. I go downstairs to find Tobias standing at the front door with two huge slices of heaven. Dauntless Chocolate Cake, the best delicacy on earth. I sprint across the floor, snatch the cake, and run to the car. Tobias gets into the car chuckling.
"You don't even understand how much I love you right now, Toby!" I scream taking another big bite of cake.
"Is it any more than any other time?"
"Maybe. Cake is included in the equation."
"Wow, Tris." He shakes his head. He stops in front of the mall to drop me off, and goes to park the car. Everyone else is already here.
"Tris Rose Prior, is that a freakin' piece of Dauntless Chocolate Cake?" Uriah screams incredulously. I nod, taking another huge bite. They all gasp. Tobias walks up behind me and puts an arm around my waist, eating his cake with the other. They all gasp again. Zeke and Uriah feign death over the cake.
"Okay, this is going too far! Get the heck up off the ground! I am practically doing you fatties a favor!" I say, quite embarrassed. They get up and dust themselves off. We all drag our boyfriends inside, fully aware that the sooner this gets started the sooner it is over. Christina Daylon. She drags all of the girls into the first store, Forever21 and gives Will a list of stores to 'explore with the guys'. I almost laugh when I see the horror on their faces as they read the list. They thought this mall trip was only for us, females in the group.

Bath and Body Works (no stank people on my trip) – Love Chrissy! 33
Christina, Marlene, and Bryce all look for clothes, occasionally picking up something for me. Christina picked me up 2 pairs of black jeans, one ripped the others high-waisted; Bryce got me some crop tops and muscle tees; and Marlene got me some shorts and harem pants. California never gets cold, so we all look for spring and summer outfits. Next we hit Rue21: nothing. Love culture: a denim romper and a pink fitted skirt. Wet Seal: skirts, too many skirts. H&M: oversized tees (really cute).
We meet the boys in the food court to go home. Everyone starts heading towards the front door, but Christina stops us.
"Oh no you don't, one more stop."
"Why, Christina!" I say, recognizing where she is dragging me. Victoria's Secret. I stop and sit on the floor, in the middle of the mall. Chris makes one gesture with her hand, and I am swept off my feet and over Tobias's shoulder.
"You planned this! I will kill both of you!" I scream, while everyone else laughs. Christina picks up a bunch of bras, but she doesn't even know my size. I smirk.
"Bryce, what size is Tris?"
"34C, Chris." She says with a fake smile and the flip of her hair.
"I hate you all!" I say. "I can't believe Four had something to do with this."
"Sorry, babe. I couldn't pass up the opportunity."
I shake my head and walk all the way to the car, leaving everyone else behind. They try to call after me, but I just keep going. Tobias follows me out with a big pink bag and a sorry look.
"Tris, I'm sorry. I didn't think about it. The decision was selfish of me."
"Chasm." He doesn't ask questions. He just drives all the way there. He pulls deep into the wooded area overlooking the Chasm and shuts the car off. I get out without a word and walk to our spot at the bottom. He follows me. He sits first and pulls me into his lap.
"Talk to me, Tris."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you bring me in there? You know I am not too confident in how I look. Especially after Andrew, Peter, and Eric."
"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Tris. I thought I was helping you, but I guess not. I'm turning into him. Only caring about myself."
"Don't say that. You will never be like him. I won't let you because I love you. I'm not sure how, but I do. I just want to know: do you love me? Well, how?" Instead of answering me, he sings. I hadn't heard this song since me and Zeke started dating. Then, it was my favorite and now it brings back memories. He rocks me back and forth on the rock, while he sings.
Cut the music up, little louder yeah You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever For a second you were here When you was just a youngin' your looks were so precious See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever For a second you were here Oh, you had a lot of dreams that transformed to visions See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever Oh, And I want you to know, you're far from the usual You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart Yeah, see you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out
How to love
How to love
Now you're in a corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
Now you over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love
But now your grown up
So fly it's like a blessing but you can't have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself, so when you got older
It's seems like you came back ten times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulders
Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out
How to love
How to love
Now you're in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
Now you over there
It's hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me
Be the one listenin'
But I admire your popping bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don't be mad
Nobody else tripping
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook
Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out
How to love
How to love
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
See I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Yeah
Far from the usual
Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out
How to love
How to love
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure out
How to love
How to love
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love, mmmm.
By the end of the song, I've turned to straddle him. My head got snuggled into his neck to hide my tears, but he still rocked me like a baby.
"You don't have to be strong, Tris. It's just me."
"I know, Toby."
He picks me up and starts walking, "Where are we going?"
"My gorgeous, talented girlfriend has a dance competition tomorrow. She needs rest."
Fourtris just gave me life. Review Please! – Rae
