Tris's P.O.V.
2 weeks later (A Monday)
"What's up with you these days?" Christina asked me.
"Nothing, why?"
Marlene, Shauna, my best friend and I were outside, laid in the grass, enjoying our lunch time, being with our friends and the wonderful weather. The guys had their last soccer match, this Friday, so their coach wanted them to practice as much as they could. It was their most important game yet. They needed to get immediately in the game, even if it was a couple of days from then. So, that left time for me and the girls to talk, something they clearly loved to do and I didn't when the topic was about me.
"I have to correct you there, Chris. It's not only her that's been acting weird." Shauna mentioned, a small smirk playing on her lips.
I was spread out in the grass, admiring the blue sky and the funny shaped clouds, trying to form/guess something out of them, while I gave a attentive earing to my friends.
"Yeah, you're right. I know a certain guy with a bizarre behavior lately." Mar added, wiggling her brows.
I rolled my eyes at them.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said, controlling my expressions so that they wouldn't sell me out like they always would.
"Don't give me that bull." Christina told me.
"We all know that you and Four both got laid, a few weeks from now."
Yeah, I mean, the connection between us was stronger than ever since we had done it, but we tried not to show much. I guess we failed.
"Oh my god, we can't seriously be having this talk." I covered my face with my hands.
"So, it is true." Shauna assumed.
"Why do these conversations have to be about me?" I asked truly, my voice muffled by my hands.
I had a reason to shield myself like that, I didn't want the girls to see the deep red blush that had formed on my cheeks.
"Oh honey, if that's what you want..." Marlene told me with a mischievous grin.
This was certainly not going to end well...
"We all did it, you were the only one missing." Zeke's girlfriend informed me.
"Wait, how could you have known I didn't do such a thing before?" I questioned her, eyebrows raised.
"Well, we presumed from the fact that Four was your first boyfriend that you hadn't done it."
"Chris! I can't believe you." I screamed.
She was the only one to know about that and I made her promise not to say anything.
"What?! I had my fingers crossed." She said, using a lame excuse.
I looked at her in disbelief and shook my head. Deep inside, I was expecting something like that from her anyway.
"Coming back to our subject... My first time was so wonderful-" My 'besty' started, only to be cut by me.
"You know what? I'm out of here."
I got up and walked away dramatically, like they would do in tragic movies or TV series, leaving my friends laughing out loud, clutching there stomach.
Friday
The match was about to start and the energy in the small 'stadium' was like none other. Everyone was either cheering for our guys' team, the Golden Eagles, or for the other school. The girls and I were not capable of staying seated, barely containing our excitement. Our friends got on the field and took their positions. Will was the goalkeeper, Uriah, the center midfielder, Zeke and Tobias were both forwards. My boyfriend glanced at me and I gave him a warm smile, which he happily returned. He turned his head back at the game. A few seconds later, the referee blew his whistle, announcing the beginning of the match.
The scores were 2-2, a tie. But the game couldn't end like that, with only a few minutes to play, no I refused to let that happen. Not that I could do anything except stimulating the boys. Everyone one in the bleachers were on the edge of their seats. Our heads were moving from left to right, right to left, following the ball as it travelled at the speed of light. I could clearly see that the boys were getting exhausted. But Shauna, Christina, Marlene and I kept on encouraging our boys, never loosing hope in them. The opposite team kicked the ball towards the net. Silence filled the air, all waiting. But Will, being the amazing goalie we was, jumped to the side and caught the ball in his arms. The crowd exploded in sighs, while others clapped at Will's talent. The boy in question took no time to recover from his fall. He got back on his feet, placed the soccer ball on the ground and kicked it with force. A right midfielder from Tobias' team stopped the ball with ease and passed it to Uriah as soon as a player from the other team ran towards him. Uri got to the other side of the field, dodging the other players with facility. He looked up and saw that his brother was all clear. He transmitted the ball to him. Zeke managed to take away the ball the feet for the opposite team player, who had interfered with the perfectly pass made by Mar's boyfriend. People started to come after him, to take the rolling objet from him. But, seeing his struggle, Tobias called for the ball. His best friend sent him what he was asking for. The ball travelled a big 5 meters before getting to Tobias' feet. He analyzed the situation. I looked at the clock and saw that thirty seconds were remaining. Now was his chance. He took of his strength and put it in his right leg. His foot touched the ball with force and it flew away. I held my breath. The ball moved in the air, before hitting the net. I got up and screamed on top of my lungs, soon followed by a mass of people. The guys on the field jumped on 'Four', giving him big pats on his back. All players got back to their positions to play the remaining 10 seconds. The whistle blew, players took control of the ball and before I knew it, the game was over. Screams came from everywhere as people cheering for the Golden Eagles. The players shook hands and went to the side of the field to talk with their coach. I was about to get up, but Chris' hand held me seated. I gave her a questioning look.
"Just wait and see." She simply responded.
On the field, the Golden Eagles had made their way close to the bleachers, which one of them holding a bid red card board. They placed themselves in two lines and on the count of three, they all held the cards over their heads, inclined towards the benches. It was written in big capital letter the following sentence:
TRIS, WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME?
It took me a moment to realize what was happening. It was until a saw Tobias, a rose in his hand, biting his lower lip, in front of the other guys, staring back at me, that I understood. Everyone made a path for me as I ran down the stairs to the field. I jumped on my boyfriend, who was expecting that act from me, as I wrapped my legs around his waist. His arms held me to him and my hands were on his cheeks.
"I take that as a yes?" Tobias asked.
"Of course, silly." I replied.
I approached my face to his and kissed him. My hands in his hair, his on my back and our lips connected in a powerful kiss, everything seemed perfect. Even if we were surrounded by a lot of teenagers. Even if he was sweating from the intense game he had just played. Even if the way he asked me to prom was cheesy, I didn't care, he was all that mattered at that moment and nothing else.
Hi guys, hope you liked this chapter, even if it was short. Sorry for the long soccer game description, but I just felt like doing so. QueenOfNovellas asked for a upcoming dance, but I thought that instead of doing just a dance, why not a prom? I mean, Tobias/Four is a senior. She/he also suggested him to ask Tris to that dance during a soccer game. So, thank you to him/her for that idea. I would like to thank the ones that reviewing for the last chapter: Guest, multiplefandomgirl, Guest, jabc4, QueenOfNovellas, Iamdivergent2000, wellthen44, dancingnarwhal, Stuff and divergentalltheway. You guys are just awesome, you totally make my day, each and everyone of you. So, the votes for the names are still open. Choices for girl's names: Natalia, Angelina, Cornelia, Daphnee or Skylar. Two other names have been added for the guys' names: Ethan, Riley, Aden, Gabriel or Ezra (which was giving by TealKandyKitty15). Please vote, it's important. If you want me to update the next chapter this weekend, I will need you to beg, no just kidding. But I seriously want to update his Saturday or Sunday and I know you guys want that too. You know what to do. Until, next time!
P.S.: One chapter left. Yes, only one, it's so sad. :'(
