Chapter 22

Last time: "Well, I guess it's time to go to the ball."

Present:

Four POV:

I don't look anything like myself. Perfect.

I get to the dance and see that nobody seems to recognize each other. A girl walks up to me and asks me to dance. I say sure, since I have no date.

We walk to the dance floor and start dancing. It's a slow song and she is getting really close to me.

"Umm, I have to go." I say trying to get away from her.

"Wait, what's your name?" She asks.

"I can't tell you that." I smile, "It's a secret."

I walk away and she look a really confused. I think she's a girl named Charlotte (AN: Silverdawn, don't worry! We will see more of her.) . Now that I think of it she's pretty, but not my type. She has brown hair with gold highlights. Her dress makes her look like she has a great figure but when she walks down the hall it's obvious she doesn't. Or maybe she just hides her figure for some reason. I don't know.

I'm torn from my thoughts by a beautiful girl walking down the stairs. Most people seem to be too involved in their dance to notice her, but I do. She is beautiful. She's in a black one sleeved dress, that has ripples down the side. She is also wearing cowboy boots. I like the fact that she is in a casual party outfit for a masquerade ball. I think I'm going to ask her to dance.

I make my way across the room, heading towards the girl. I try to not make it too obvious where I'm heading.

Tris POV:

When I arrive everyone is already dancing. As soon as we step in the room Christina leaves me, no doubt looking for Will so she can dance with him. I see a girl being left by her partner. I think her name is Charlotte.

I go and sit down on one of the chairs lining the edge of the room. I just watch everyone dance and think how cliché they are. But then I realize that what I'm doing is even more cliché. The girl is sitting alone at a school dance while everyone else is dancing. The only thing that could make this more cliché is if a guy came up and asked me to dance.

Right at that moment a guy comes up to me.

"Would you, um, maybe, uh, want to dance with me?" He asks seeming extremely unsure of himself.

"Sure." I say only to be polite. This seems to really excite him. For what reason, I don't know.

We walk onto the dance floor and I see another guy off near the chairs looking disappointed. And maybe... mad? I wonder what his problem is.

"So, care to tell me your name?" The guys dancing with me asks.

"Um, you first." I say not sure if we are aloud o tell people our names.

"Okay. Well, my name starts with a T." He says smugly.

"So does mine." I say e same way.

"Fine, I'll just tell you mine. My name is Tyler." (AN: Oooooo! I got you there, didn't I? You thought it was going to be Tobias!)

"Well, my name is Tris. Don't go around blabbing it though. I pretty sure our names are supposed to be secret." I say winking. This guy seems pretty nice.

Now that I actually take a good look at him, he is HOT! He has blonde hair and brown eyes. He seems strong, I would know after dancing with him.

"So, Tris, would you like to go and maybe get dinner sometime?" He asks like he did when he asked me to dance. I think long and hard about my answer, I don't know if he's a cheater like Jason yet. Or if we will end up as friends. I think what do I have to lose?

"Sure."

Ok wow. I was actually planning on having some Fourtris in there because you guys have been really good lately, but this story seems to have a kind of its own. I actually sort of like Tyler and am adding him to the "Who is Tris going to end up with?!" competition. Remember, Jason is still in the competition!

I actually have a ending and sequel already all planned out.

QOTD: Are you stalling from doing homework?

My answer: Yes. I should probably do it...

Bye!
