Chapter Fifteen
Tris POV
By 12 everyone is starving. We've been walking for what seems forever and we haven't even rode half the games yet. We stop by some outer space place and they sell burgers there so we find a booth sit down and go get our food.
"Hmm I don't know what I'll get of course a hamburger but-" I stopped listening to the girl who's name is Marlene. She's very pretty. Long wavy, brown hair. A small pixie nose and naturally big brown eyes. She has all the curves in the right places of her body. I still look like a child. Lynn, who I so greatly appreciate for getting rid of some of the awkwardness, tells Marlene to just order. She could also be pretty if she hasn't shaved her hair off. I bet it would be like her sister Shauna's, all long, a dark brown almost black, and straight. But she has green blue eyes and also all the right curves. You can tell every under all that baggy clothes. Shauna looks just like her but an older version. It's my turn to order.
"I'll have a bacon cheeseburger with fries, apple slices, and a large coke." I hand over a 20.
The register makes a couple noises and it pops out suddenly. The cashier puts the twenty it and pulls out a five, some ones, and a quarter.
"You're change is $7.25. You're good will be out shortly. I wait for my food.
"Come on move it Stiff. We're all hungry here" Eric says. I see why Four tensed up. He can be a pain.
"Any idiot can say what they want but it just shows you're cowardice trying to put someone down verbally" I say looking him dead in the eye.
He starts walking toward me but Al stops him.
"Not here."
I get my food tray and walk to the booth. I sit as far away from where Eric is sitting. Of course Christina decide to leave me alone here to go with Will and Marlene with Uriah. Four comes over and sits next to me. I take a big bite of my hamburger, not wanting to say much. My goal is to always have food in my mouth at all times. Zeke and Shauna also go to another table. All the couples have separated themselves from the group. I don't know about Will and Christina. Four, Peter, Lauren, Eric, Lynn, Al, and me are sitting in silence. Four leans close to my ear.
"I know you saw. I want you to know it was a misunderstanding. I wouldn't risk your trust towards me for something so stupid."
"I don't think Lauren appreciates you talking to me."
"I don't care what Lauren thinks. We're not together."
"Obviously."
He sighs, defeated. He sits back again. I see Peter whispering to Lauren, Eric, and.. Al? They all nod. I'm not going to worry about it.
Page Break
We've been waiting for this ride for an hour. I don't care if everyone else is complaining. We have to get on Splash mountain. It's 7:00 and we've gotten on most of the rides at least twice now. Splash Mountain, Carousel of Progress, and the haunted mansion are the only three we've gotten on. There's over 30 rides here. We get a lot more done with no talking. We're getting in the next log. Me, Al, Four, and Peter get in the same chair. Awesome. I'm sitting in between Al and Four. Four is sitting on the outside and so is Peter. Me and Al are in between them. Christina tries to give me an encouraging thumbs up. I don't return it.
I try to focus on the little show they put before the 50 foot drop. That's going to be the best part. I know Four doesn't like heights. It's obvious. I see the Bear being clumsy, the bunny being sly, and the fox doing everything to get that bunny. The bear reminds me of Al. Then comes the drop. It's getting darker outside. The air is cool and crisp. We're all gonna be cold after this.
I feel Al grab my hand and I smile at him. I hear Four's breathing increase rapidly. I look at him and place my other hand on his shoulder. I let go of Al's hand and take my hand of of Four's shoulder and throw my hands in the air. The falling sensation I get on my stomach is only making me feel a rush of adrenaline. I should've closed my mouth before we got to the bottom. Water goes everywhere. My hair, my clothes, and my mouth. I sputter and spit. I start laughing because Al is drenched and Four is soaking. Can't say I'm any better, especially with my hair.
We get off and go check out the picture. I see Four looking at me. Again. Al is covering his face with one hand and holding the bar with the other. Peter is screaming and clutching the bar tightly. Behind us Lauren is in a ball, knees to her chest, covering her face. Christina is holding Will's hand and throwing both her hands in the air, smiling. Will does the same. Behind them Shauna is practically sitting on Zeke's lap screaming and Zeke has his arms around her laughing. Uriah IS sitting on Marlene's lap covering his face screaming and Marlene is dying of laughter. Lynn and Eric sit in the back grinning and Lynn has her hands in the air.
"We have to buy this one too" says Lynn.
We each pay for one copy and head off to buy a snack. We find the nearest stand and it sells frozen treats. I guy a chocolate covered banana with almonds on the chocolate.
"I say we go to the haunted house" declares Uriah.
"Please, you can't even handle that" I say pointing at another log full of people falling.
"Are you challenging me to a duel, Prior" he says smirking.
"If you count seeing you scream like a little girl, yes" I say with the same smirk.
"You're on."
Four walks beside me on our way to the ride. He seems to be looking, or staring, a lot more now. Is he plotting something? Or just simply stating to make me mad? I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I bump into Peter who stands in front of me. I sigh, trying not to get into trouble, I try to walk around me but he grabs me by my arm, tightly. He puts his other hand on my hip. I start to struggle but I see a big hand land on Peter's shoulder and squeeze with force. He yelps and let's go of me.
"I want to remind you that messing with her is like messing with me" Four says full of venom.
"How cute. Two Stiff's" he says but he walks toward his little group. I should thank Four but I jog to catch up with the group.
"You're not gonna thank me."
"I had it under control."
"Clearly."
"I don't need to be protected. I don't need to be seen as a little sister or dummy to be messed around with."
"I don't see you as a little sister. Much less a dummy."
I'm about to ask want he means but we get to the house.
