Chapter 21- Graduation.
A COUPLE WEEKS LATER...
Tobias POV:
I wake up in the morning to the sweet soft lips of Tris. I slowly kiss her back.
"Good morning beautiful." I whisper as I open my eyes.
"I'm not beautiful. And good morning." She says quietly.
"Yes you are. Why do you think every guy in school stares at you? Every time they do I want to punch them. But I don't because I know you have me and I have you." I explain.
Tris smiles. "Ready for graduation today?" She asks.
"Yeah. Let's get ready for school. Only got an hour." I say.
Tris nods and takes a quick shower. I get dressed in a black v-neck t-shirt and I pair of jeans. I put on some black converses and walk downstairs to wait for Tris.
Tris POV:
I come out of the shower and get dressed. I put on a black tank top with slits in the back and along the sides. I wear a white sports bra underneath and some white shorts. I put on some black sandals and walk downstairs with my phone and keys.
Tobias and I eat a quick bowl of yogurt and then drive to school. When we get to school we walk to home room hand in hand. We don't need anything today since it's the last day of school.
Since today is the last day of school there is no classes. Everyone gets to do what they want as long as they are inside the school.
"What do you wanna do today?" Tobias asks.
"I don't know, I kind of wanna talk to
Tori for a bit. I'll be back." I say.
"Okay, text me when you're done." Tobias says.
I nod and walk to the music room. Tori is packing up her things in the class room.
"Hey Tori! Why are you packing?" I ask.
"Hey Tris! I'm retiring this year, I'm actually moving close to Fours house." Tori says with a smile.
"I'll see you a lot then, I live there. Anyway can I have your opinion on something?" I ask as I help her pack.
Tori nods. "I was wondering if you could listen to my new song. I want to surprise Four with it." I say.
"Sure, I'll listen as you sing while I pack. Is that ok?" Tori says.
I nod and begin to sing.
"I was riding shotgun
With my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel
On the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby is something wrong?"
I say, "Nothing,
I was just thinking
How we don't have a song"
And he says...
[Chorus:]
Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, when I should have"
And when I got home ... 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up
The front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong
And been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway,
Well on my way
To my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice
All the roses
And the note that said...
[Chorus:]
Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, when I should have"
And when I got home ... 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...
[Chorus:]
'Cause our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
'cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss him, when I should have"
And when I got home ... 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Play it again
Oh, yeah...
Oh-oh, yeah.
I was riding shotgun
With my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen
And an old napkin
And I wrote down our song"
"Tris! That's amazing!" Tori says and hugs me.
"Thank you!" I smile. "You're the best!"
I wave Tori goodbye before I leave her room and I walk around to find Tobias. I find him sitting in an empty room playing the guitar. He quietly sings to himself. I stand in the doorway and listen.
"You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you,
Baby you're so classic"
I smile as I hear the lyrics and I walk away. After walking for about a minute I text him.
Me- hey I'm done, where r u?
Tobias quickly texts back.
Tobias- at the old math room.
I walk back to where I was and walk into the room to not find Tobias. I look around everywhere. I look down to text him and..
"Boo!" Tobias screams and jumps out of the closet.
"Holly shit Four!" I jump and scream. "You scared the shit out of me!"
Tobias just stands there and laughs. I cross my arms and stare at him trying not to laugh. Tobias fake frowns and hugs me. I smile and hug him back tightly. I kiss his cheek and we head to lunch.
When we get to lunch I get a salad and an apple and sit next to Christina. Tobias sits in front of me.
"Graduation night I'm having a graduation party for all of us. Okay!?" Christina says.
"Yep! Do we need to bring anything?" We all ask.
"Just stuff to spend the night." Christina says. "If you can."
We all nod and continue eating. I feel a slight kick on my leg and look at Tobias. He looks guilty. I kick him harder and he looks at me like he didn't do anything. I smirk and then he kicks me harder. We keep on doing this until we have bruises on our legs.
We end up walking around the school for a while until we go outside and sit under the bleachers.
"Tris? Can I ask you something?" Tobias asks as he sits down next to me.
I nod. Tobias picks me up and sets me on his lap, facing him.
"Will you kiss me?" He whispers.
I smile and nod. I slowly lean In for a kiss and I kiss him. We kiss slowly and it turns more passionate. Tobias slowly slides his hand up my shirt and I stop him. We're not even supposed to be kissing on school property.
"At home." I whisper in his ear.
Tobias smiles and we both get up. We play basketball until we finally go home. Tomorrow we have to go to the graduation. We get to take our graduation robes home. When we get back to the house I put our robes in the closet and go back downstairs.
"Christina's on the phone!" Tobias yells from the living room.
I grab the phone from him and talk to Christina.
"June fourth." Christina simply says.
"For what?" I ask.
"Your wedding date!"
"Awww, cute." I say.
Christina laughs on the phone. "We should go dress shopping like soon!"
I agree with her and tell her I'll talk to her later.
"June fourth is the day were getting married Christina said." I tell Tobias.
"That's awesome. I like the date. Six and Four." Tobias says as he wraps his arms around my waist.
I smile softly. "I know." I whisper. "You'll be my husband soon, and I can't wait."
"I can't wait until you're my wife." Tobias whispers back and slowly kisses me. I smile and kiss him back. Our kiss turns more passionate. Tobias slowly slides his hand up my shirt and rubs up and down my back.
We both fall on to the couch with me on top of Tobias. I laugh and sit up on his lap.
Tobias holds me and flips us over so he can be on top of me. "I haven't done this in a while." Tobias whispers as he slides my shirt up a little.
I look at him confused. What hasn't he done in a while? Tobias then starts to tickle me and I scream. I can't go anywhere so I start to kick Tobias's legs. Im laughing so hard that I can barley breathe.
Soon Tobias stops tickling me and I'm still laughing. We both laugh.
"Tobias." I say, still trying to catch my breath.
"Yeah?" He says as he rubs my back.
I finally catch my breath. "I'm hungry." I say. I softly bite his arm.
"Okay, but that doesn't mean you have to eat me!" Tobias says and I laugh.
I kiss him and we both get up from the couch. We both make tacos. Once in a while as we're making them we kiss.
Soon the tacos are finally done and we go into the living room to eat them. We watch a movie too.
Soon were finished and we go upstairs into our room.
"Baby, will you come here please?" Tobias asks.
I walk into the closet to find him looking through his clothes. "Yeah?" I say.
"Red or black tie tomorrow?" He asks.
"Black, all dauntless are supposed to wear black. Except for their robes. The robes are the schools colors." I say.
"Thank you." Tobias says and kisses my nose.
I smile and change into a strapless sports bra and some shorts. Tobias just wears his boxers to bed since it's hot out. I lay my head on Tobias's chest and then we both drift off to sleep.
THE NEXT DAY:
Tobias POV:
I wake up to Tris's soft lips on mine. I slowly kiss her and she smiles. "Good morning." I whisper.
"Good morning to you too sleepy head. It's eleven." She says.
I look over at the clock and see that it actually is 11am. I laugh and we both get up. I put on some pajama pants and I let Tris jump on my back for a ride. I look in the refrigerator to see what we can have to eat.
"We have to go shopping." Tris says.
"Let's go then so we can go before the graduation." I say.
Tris nods and I carry her back up stairs. I quickly get dressed into a black t-shirt and some jeans. I sit on the bed and wait for Tris to come out.
She is stunning. Tris is wearing a short black dress that is strapless and flows. She also has on some black heals. Her hair is simply down.
"You look beautiful." I say as I walk up to her.
"Thank you. I'm thinking of wearing it to graduation." Tris blushes.
"You should." I say. She smiles and we both get into my convertible.
We drive to the store and get some stuff we need at the house. Once we get home it's 1pm so we make lunch/ breakfast. We make steak and eggs.
"You know, you don't have to wear a suit to graduation." Tris says.
"We don't? Thank god!" I say.
She giggles. "Yeah you can just wear that."
"I will then." I say.
There is a knock at the door and Tris gets it. She comes back with her brother Caleb.
"Hey Caleb." I say as I take our dishes from the table. "Want anything?" I ask.
"Oh no thank you." He says. "You guys ready for graduation?"
"Yep. Don't forget you gotta wear blue. Since your an erudite." Tris says in a disgusted voice.
"Don't do this again." Caleb says.
Tris rolls her eyes.
"Anyways I'll see you guys there." Caleb says.
"Bye!" Tris and I say at the same time.
Caleb waves and then leaves.
"Ready for tonight?" I ask Tris.
"Yeah. I shouldn't have been hard on Caleb. I think it's hard for him because our parents won't be there." Tris says.
"It's hard on you too. I can tell. He knows it's hard on you too." I say.
Tris nods and I hug her tightly. She smiles and I kiss her.
"Let's get ready." She says.
Tris POV:
Tobias nods and we go upstairs. As he changes I do my hair. I curl the ends and make a braid around the front. Almost like my prom hair. I then put on some smokey eyeshadow and eyeliner with mascara. I put on some red lipstick to tie it off.
Tobias comes out in some black jeans and black shoes. He is wearing the same shirt he wore earlier. I'm wearing the same dress and shoes. Tobias has our red robes in his hands.
"Ready?" He asks.
I nod and I kiss him. I can't believe that I am actually graduating. I'm going to get married soon. Nothing than this can be more perfect.
I hold the robes in my hand as Tobias drives to the school. When we get there we meet the gang at the door.
"Christina why are you crying already?" I say as I run up to her.
"I don't know! It's just sad!" She says.
I laugh and hug her. We walk into the school and see everyone that's graduating. We all put on our robes and the graduating hats. Everyone goofs around until it's actually time.
I find Caleb talking to Suzan. "Hey Caleb. Sorry about earlier." I say.
"It's okay. I know that it's hard on both of us." He says.
I nod. "Hey Suzan!" I say.
"Hello Tris." She says. She's abnegation so she is always kind.
"Love your dress." I smile.
"Thank you. I love yours too." She says.
I smile and wave goodbye to them. I walk back over to the gang. I can't find Tobias anywhere.
"Zeke, where's Four?" I ask.
"I'm right here." Someone says behind me. It's Tobias. He lifts me up over his shoulder like he did on the first day of school. I hold my dress so no one can see my thong.
"Four!" I yell.
Tobias laughs and sets me down. "First day and last day." He whispers in my ear as he hugs me. I smile and he wraps his arms around my waist from behind. He sets his head on mine.
"Okay everyone! Get in your seats!" Tori yells across the room. "Dauntless first!"
Tobias takes my hand as we line up on the stage. For the gang Tobias is first, then Uriah, Zeke, me, Christina, Will, Marlene, and Shauna. After about ten names Tobias goes up.
"I don't know what to say. I love this school! This school has changed my life! GO WILDCATS!" Tobias yells and cheers. All the dauntless wolf whistle and I laugh with Christina. Tobias walks off the stage with his certificate and soon it's my turn.
"I love this school! Even though I left for four years I missed it every day! I'm really going to miss this place. I love all of you guys! Go WILDCATS!" I say. Everyone cheers just like they did for Tobias. I laugh and run off the stage to Tobias.
"Good job!" He says as I run up to him.
"Thanks. You too!" I say.
Soon the rest of the gang is done.
"Even though schools over we are NOT going to be separated! Got that!" Shauna says.
"Got it!" We all say. We all laugh.
Soon dauntless is done and the rest of the factions are. The school has drinks, snacks, and stuff for everyone to do for a while. I'm talking to Christina when I feel Tobias's warm arms wrap around me.
"Christina, may I steal this lovely lady for a moment?" Tobias asks.
I blush. "For as long as you want." Christina says.
Christina winks at me as Tobias takes me out of the building. Tobias covers my eyes with his hands as we walk.
"Babe?" I say as I try to walk.
"Shhh. Surprise." Tobias says.
I sigh and let him guide me to where he's taking me. Soon were at our destination. "Open your eyes when I tell you to. Just stand there." Tobias says as he walks away from me.
"Okay?" I giggle.
He places something in my hands and I then hear him back away again. "Okay." He says.
I open my eyes and I see a bouquet of roses in my hands. I look around and see that we are under the bleachers with streamers and roses all over the place. I look at Tobias and he is standing with a guitar in his hands. He begins to sing.
"Ooh girl you're shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don't make you like they used to
You're never going out of style"
I blush as he sings. Tobias comes up to me and twirls me around.
"Ooh pretty baby
This world might've gone crazy
The way you save me
Who can blame me
When I just wanna make you smile?
[Hook:]
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this"
Tobias kisses me on the cheek before he continues to sing. When he sings he does dance moves to go with the song.
[Chorus:]
"You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you,
Baby you're so classic"
He points to the roses.
"Four dozen of roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style
Ima pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman bringin' glamour back
Keep it reel to reel in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle
[Hook:]
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
[Chorus:]
You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic"
Tobias dances with me as he raps.
[Rap:]
"Baby you're class and baby you're sick
I never met a girl like you ever til we met
A star in the 40s, centrefold in the 50s
Got me tripping out like the sixties
Hippies Queen of the discotheque
A 70s dream and an 80s best
Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn, Massive
Girl you're timeless, just so classic
[Chorus:]
You're over my head I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic"
I blush and hug Tobias. He kisses me. He then walks somewhere and shuts of a camera.
"You video taped it?" I ask.
He nods. "So I could remember this moment. That was also a new song of mine, meant for you." Tobias smiles.
"Thank you. I love it." I whisper and kiss him. "You're the best fiancé ever."
"No you are." Tobias jokingly argues.
I laugh. Tobias is the best boyfriend a girl could have. I can't believe that I'm that girl. I'm not nearly as pretty as any other girl in the school or as tall.
"Tris you're not pretty you're beautiful." Tobias says.
"Thinking out loud again?" I ask.
He nods. "I have you and you have me. And we both know that." Tobias says. I open my mouth to say something. "And don't you dare say that our not beautiful, because you are."
I smile and kiss him. He's right. I have him and he has me and we both know that. That's all that matters.
