Hi guys,
So the party is going to take place over this chapter, and the next chapter. I'll try to make each at least 1000 words
While writing this chapter, I was listening to old Shania Twain songs and then the Hairspray soundtrack. In case you were wondering lol.
Please leave a review!

After helping Zeke and Uriah set up for their party, Christina, Will, Tris and I decide to head over to the cafe for lunch.
"Bye, guys, thanks for helping us set up for the parTAY!" Zeke grins at us and claps my back.
"No problem," replies Tris with a smile.
I see Uriah wink at Tris, and instantly feel another spark of jealousy. I don't know if I'm overreacting because of how close they've become lately, or if it's really Uriah flirting with her that I'm sensing. Tris doesn't seem to notice, and she pulls her thick hair into a ponytail.
"We'll see you tonight!" says Will as he opens the door. Tris immediately takes my hand as soon as I extend it, as usual. She always notices even the smallest gestures of mine. We leave, and Zeke shuts the door behind us.
We start walking down the hall with Christina and Will, and at the end of the hallway is Caleb. He looks confused, looking around.
"Oh my god, Caleb we forgot you!" cries Tris, letting go of my hand and starting towards him.
I start laughing, and Tris glares at me, but her glare doesn't last long.
"I was just looking for you guys! Last night, you guys forgot that I was supposed to stay at your place,"
Tris blushes and grins up at me. No wonder why we forgot.
"Marlene offered me her couch, so I slept there."
"I'm so sorry, Caleb!" Tris says. "We totally forgot."
"It's fine," replies Caleb. "Are you guys going to lunch now? Can I come?"
"Sure!" says Christina. We all start walking down the hall; me and Tris in front. Tris starts swinging our hands back and forth.
I smile down at her. "What are you, Amity?"
She glares up at me and stops. "What are you, Candor?"
She knows the dislike I have for the Candor. I nudge her shoulder and glare back. She laughs.
"Hey," I say, raising an eyebrow. "I never said let go of my hand!"
She looks back up and raises her eyebrow back at me. "That's interesting." She walks faster down the hallway ahead of me, her ponytail swinging.
"You asked for it." I laugh, running up to her and swinging her over my shoulder. She kicks her legs, laughing.
Caleb runs up beside us and shakes her head at me. "Do you always carry her like that?"
I laugh and put Tris down, who grabs my hand again.
"Besides, what's wrong with the Candor, guys?" Christina asks, raises an eyebrow.
"Nothing," Tris and I reply at the same time. Tris hides her face in my arm and stifles a laugh.
"What?" Christina demands, and Will chuckles.
Christina reaches out to push Tris, but I pull Tris around the other side of me.
"Oh, you guys are on!" yells Christina, starting towards Tris.
"Run!" yells Tris, laughing and pulling me with her. We run towards the cafe, Christina behind us. We are much faster than her, so we soon lose sight of her. We eventually stop, right in front of the cafe. I put my hands on my knees, catching my breath, and look up at Tris. She's leaning against the wall, arms crossed, looking at the others running towards us.
I straighten and wrap my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me.
She smiles up at me and snakes her arm around my neck, kissing me.
"Get a room!" calls Will, as the others all catch up to us. Tris laughs and jumps down from her tiptoes. Caleb is looking at me, narrowing his eyes. I shrug, and we all walk into the cafe.
It's seven o' clock; an hour before Zeke and Uriah's party starts. Tris, Caleb and I are in Tris and I's apartment, getting ready. Tris is in the bathroom, getting dressed, Caleb is in the living room, and I'm in our bedroom, already ready.
Tris walks out of the bathroom, and I look up. She's wearing a black dress that compliments her trim figure, and her hair is loose and flows over her shoulders. I smile and stand up, walking over to her.
"You look beautiful," I tell her. I mean it.
She blushes. "Thank you."
I notice that something's different about her, and finally realize what it is: instead of her head at my shoulder, she's now up to my chin.
"Did you get taller?" I ask, smiling at her and wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Yeah, I think I hit a growth spurt overnight," she jokes, kissing me quickly on the mouth. "I have to do my hair. Should I straighten it?"
"Sure," I reply, walking back over to my phone. "We should leave in twenty minutes."
"Kay," she says, brushing her hair out. She does her hair and then puts on black eyeliner and mascara, which make her eyes look striking.
"Okay, I'm ready," she says, walking to the door.
"Let's go, gorgeous!" I say, grinning at her and taking her hand. We get Caleb, who was already ready and watching TV, and leave for Uriah and Zeke's.
Tris knocks on their door. It sounds like there are already tons of people inside, and the music is blasting. Uriah answers the door. He looks at Tris a little too long. I feel jealous again.
"Hey, guys! Party just started," he says, motioning for us to come in. Tris takes my hand and walks in first, looking around.
"A bunch of us are hanging out over here. Follow me." Uriah leads us over to a bunch of couches, where Zeke, Christina, Will, Lynn, and Marlene sit with a bunch of other people our age. That girl I met the other day, Kayla, is sitting there too. Her hair is in a high ponytail, and she's wearing a purple dress and a ton of makeup.
"Damn, Tris, you look good!" yells Lynn over the booming music. She's already drunk; typical Lynn.
Tris laughs and sits in a free chair, next to Kayla. I sit between Tris and Zeke, and Uriah sits across from Tris.
"So, guys, is this party sick or what?" yells Christina, taking a sip of beer.
Tris and I take drinks from the coffee table.
"Yeah, it's awesome!" says Tris, crossing her legs.
"You guys want to play Candor or Dauntless?" asks Kayla.
Everyone agrees, and Zeke starts. "Tris, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless!" she replies, and everyone cheers.
"Okay, I dare you to kiss a girl somewhere here!" Everyone laughs, and Tris smiles, looking at all her options.
"Okay, Chris, c'mere!" She gets up. Christina sets down her drink and stands up, whooping. They kiss, not for long, and everyone screams. I laugh and shake my head.
They sit back down and Tris laughs, looking at me. I put my hand on her leg, smiling.
"I'll go!" says Marlene. "Okay, Uriah, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Candor," he replies.
"Who do you find most attractive here?" she yells.
He hesitates. "Tris, I guess."
Everyone looks at me, and I feel jealous again. I was right; Uriah must've been flirting with her.
Lynn quickly changes the subject. "Four, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless," I say.
"Make out with Tris!" she yells, and everyone screams. Christina whoops and throws her hands up.
I laugh and look at Tris, who smiles at me and shrugs. I take a swig of my drink and kiss her. Everyone whoops louder, and Christina and Will start chanting, "FOURTIS! FOURTRIS! FOURTRIS!"
We finish, and I laugh. "What the hell is Fourtris?"
"Four plus Tris equals Fourtris!" Will yells back.
All of the sudden, Tris gasps. I look over at her and see that Kayla's drink is spilled all over Tris's lap.
"I am so sorry!" says Kayla, standing up.
"Tris, do you need help?" I ask.
Tris shakes her head and stands up. "I'm going to go clean up."
"I'll come with you," I say.
"No, it's fine, I'll be right back." She leaves quickly.
Christina glares at Kayla. "Nice job."
"It was an accident!" protests Kayla.
"Yeah, right, Christina says, narrowing her eyes at her.
"I'll go see if she's okay," says Kayla. She gets up and goes after Tris.
