Chapter Thirteen
Tris POV
I've had enough of this trip and it's only been three days. There's still eleven days left here. Technically nine considering going back to the school takes two days. It is still too many days. Tomorrow we're going Magic Kingdom and the next day we're going to Animal Kingdom. The day after we go to EPCOT. On the seventh day we're going on a cruise that shows us different famous people's houses. They day after, the eighth day, we go to Aquatica. The ninth day we just simply relax. I can't wait to stay in my room that day. The tenth we go to Busch Gardens. On the eleventh day we're going to an aquarium and a holocaust memorial museum. On the twelfth day we go to the zoo. Can't wait. I get to the hotel room and put the key in. I slam the door shut when I'm in.
"Tris? Is that you?" Christina emerges from the small kitchen included with the hotel. When she sees how much of a mess I am she runs over and hugs me.
"Oh sweetie what happened" she asks pity in her voice.
"Don't give me pity. You know better" I say firmly.
"I think it's good once in a while. You're choice though" she says still hugging me tightly. She leads us to the bedroom and sits us down.
"Tell me everything. Everything" she says just a firmly as I told her no pity. I start from the moment I followed Four to the tiki bar. I watch her expression as I tell her. She doesn't interrupt me once.
"-and then I came running to the hotel room. And here we are" I finish off awkwardly.
"You should get some sleep. We're waking up early to go to Magic Kingdom" she says with excitement.
"It does take four hours to get there" I point out.
"Is it just me or do I hear that number every where" she says with a chuckle. I just nod. I slip on my pj's and get in bed. I soon hear Christina's light snoring.
Page Break
At 5 o'clock in the morning sharp my alarm goes off. I groan and get out of bed. I shake Christina's shoulder, making sure she's awake and get my towel to shower. When I get out Christina is finishing off some oatmeal and her apple then she goes and showers. I munch on an apple and get a small Adidas book bag and pack some tennis shoes, socks, deodorant, water bottle, and some shorts and a crop top for when we get wet. Right now I'm wearing some denim shorts and a white tank top. As Christina gets out of the shower I hear up some oatmeal. It's 5:30 by now. I start to think what Four might do on the bus. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Christina tells me it's time to go.
I'm once again sitting in this crappy bus with Christina and Will giggling like preschoolers once again beside me. When I see Four get on the bus I look straight. I never really paid attention to the chairs but now that I am I notice they're a green-blue color and they have little specks of oranges, yellows, and reds on them. I feel him sit beside. I look at anything else but him.
"Tri-"
"Good morning everyone! Today me and Max will put you in groups of thirteen. There will six girls and seven guys. After all, we wouldn't want the girls getting hurt, right" she says with a chuckle. Everyone laughs and some guys shout no. I don't feel like laughing.
"The first group will be, guys, Al, Zeke, Uriah, Peter, Eric, Will, and Four."
I pray that I'm not in that group. I'd rather not go than be in that group.
"The girls will be Shauna, Lynn, Marlene, Christina, Lauren, and Tris."
I feel like for just a second my heart stops.
"These will be your groups for any time we go to any kind of amusement parks. Other than that you have to stay with the other three people you are currently sitting with."
Now it completely stopped.
I have to spend six days with these people who most likely hate me.
Christina and Will look over at me, worriedly. She probably already told him. I don't care. I see Four staring at me. She calls off the second and third group but I don't listen. Next thing I know the bus lurches forward. I don't know if I'll survive the next nine days. Or if some of the people around me will survive. I have problems with almost every single person in this group. He's still staring. Excluding the Peter and Eric. Although, I saw Four tense up when they said their names. Maybe he has something against them. A past relationship maybe. Like me and Lauren. Speaking of which will most likely make my life hell. And then there's Al, Lauren, Zeke (but we kind of settlers we were cool) and over all, Four. This was going to be a long day.
The drive to Disney from here is about four (that number is really ticking me off) hours from here so it's also going to be a long drive. Christina and Will are still talking and giggling. Me and Four are doing just about the same thing. Avoiding each other's eyes.
I don't say or move anything for a solid hour. That's when I feel Four's rough, cold, calloused hand clamp around mine. I'm confused for just a second. I look over at him and he's not looking at me. I try to pull my hand away but his grip doesn't falter. It gets surprisingly stronger. I start yanking at it and it gets even stronger. It's starting to hurt. I make whimpering sound. That makes him let go of my hand.
"I'm sor-"
"Shut up" I say looking at my now bright red hand. There might even be a bruise later in the day.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I would never hurt you" he barely whispers. It's almost inaudible.
"Well you did."
I fall asleep the rest of the ride.
