Sorry, not sure what happened but it's updated :)
I looked at him. His eyes are captivating, staring right at me reading my soul as if I was an open book. I look right at him sitting on my bed in nothing but a bra and underwear. His golden skin sparkling with a small grin on his luscious lips. He looks like he was sculpted by God himself. So what if he's older. I know I love him. I finish putting on all my clothes with my eyes still glued to him. Him, the one I love. He shows so much passion and talent at what he does. His eyebrows-
"Argh I think it looks better to the left," I say to myself moving my Leonardo Dicaprio poster.
I walk downstairs to the kitchen to find my two idiot brothers and Four eating Fruit Loops.
"Healthy breakfast," I say as I grab the juicing machine from the cabinet above.
"I appreciate your opinion," Four says with a mouth full of fruit loops.
I walk over to the fridge and grab three oranges and cut them in half before juicing them.
"Well at least we're eating," Uriah comments "It increase our metabolism if we eat breakfast,"
"Do you even know what your metabolism is?" I ask
"No," I hear him mutter
"It's how fast your body breaks down something or something," Zeke adds "I don't know?"
"There are two types; constructive and destructive," Four explains "Constructive is when the components of the food we eat forms tissue and stores energy while destructive is the breakdown of complex substances and the result production of energy and waster matter,"
"Someone's been studying," I comment.
"I have a Bachelor in Medicine and Surgery, a Master of Science and a straight A report on Biology," Four says
"And yet you still eat Fruit Loops,"
"Hulk likey," he states.
My brothers look at my weirdly when I burst out laughing.
I finish juicing my juice and I grab some granola, honey and milk.
I make my healthy breakfast and clean up my own dishes before proceeding upstairs and back into my room with Leonardo staring back at me again.
"I see you like Leonardo," a deep masculine voice says
I jump and screech a bit. "Fuck, you scared me,"
"Sorry,"
"Yeah I love Leonardo Dicaprio, he's like the best actor in this world and doesn't have an Oscar" I state "Like who the fuck judges this shit,"
"I'll write extremely passionate about Dicaprio in my notebook," he says
"Aww, you have a notebook about me,"
"Only for you Tris," he says before walking out.
I jump onto my bed and sprawl out like a starfish.
Its 11 and I have nothing to do. I decide to go online and search for the nearest shooting range. 2 miles away I could run there. I place on some workout clothes before running to the shooting range. When I enter I see a large guy behind the counter with a name tag that says Amar.
"Uh hi how long is it for an hour?" I ask
"$13," he says
"Sweet," I give him some cash, show him my ID and I go to the shotting range with a gun.
"Aww look how sweet a little girl holding a big girl weapon," this guy mentions.
I ticks me off but I ignore him and continue setting up the gun.
"Aww you a little stiff from fear there darling, am I that scary?" he questions.
I finally but the plastic pellets into the gun and aim.
"Your posture is a little stiff, just like you," he mentions
Calm Tris Calm
Breath in, shoot, breathe out
I got a little off bullseye, still getting used to the gun.
"Aww you want me to help,"
The guy walks over and begins to wraps his arm around me.
I elbow his nose, slap his face and kick his leg and I aim the gun at his forehead.
"Do you think I will miss here," I grit through my teeth.
His amber coloured eyes look at me in fear and his breathing quickens. He shakes his head.
"Leave me alone," I say before I go back to shooting the target.
Bang! Bullseye
I get a certain feel of pride streaming through me. I go again and again until my time is up. I return my stuff and on the way out Amar speaks to me.
"I saw your little scene with Drew," he mention
I am about to apologise.
"Well done," he says with a small nod before going out back.
I smile as I walk out of the range.
I always loved shooting, it relieved my anxiety, stress and made me forget all the stuff that is happening around me. It's not like I like to shoot at people or anything, just the concept of shooting a gun at a target. I never told anyone because I had a feeling that they we're going to judge me as that creepy girl who love to shoot guns. I didn't have a feeling, I had a person experience. I told my ex-boyfriend once, I thought our relationship was trustworthy enough for me to tell him. He broke up with me and called me a psychopath for loving shooting and told me I belonged in a mental institution. So now I just don't tell anyone. I like secrets. I always liked keeping things to myself.
I stop at a closer Starbucks and order a Peppermint Mocha, an Americano and 2 Cappuccino for my brothers. I pull out my phone admiring my case which looks like the 'Watch the Throne' album cover. I turn it on and scroll through my Instagram feed.
"Nice case," I hear someone say
I slowly peel my eyes of my phone and look up. I see a guy with blonde shaggy hair and sky blue coloured eyes. He had a pair of glasses on. He wasn't bad looking either. He wore reasonably formal clothing. A pair of jeans and dress shoes matched with a collared white shirt and a grey V-neck sweater over.
"Thanks, its my favourite album cover by Kanye," I say
"Yeah its pretty cool, I was disappointed that it didn't have the bear though," he mentions
"The bears we're sick,"
"Oh I'm Matthew by the way," he says offering his hand out.
"I'm-"
I hear my name being called out the person giving me my bag of drinks.
"Tris," Matthew finishes.
"Yeah, well I've got to get going," I say
"Hope you have fun with your four coffees," he says
I flash him a smile before walking back to the house.
"Yoohoo, Tris is home with Starbucks," I shout as I enter the house.
Zeke and Uriah race down the stairs while Four comes running from the side door and grab their coffee.
"Thanks," they say in unison.
Uriah and Zeke race back upstairs. Four sits on one of the counters in the kitchen with his MacBook Pro open and open books everywhere with occasional highlighted or underlined parts. He has a note book in front of him and different coloured pens fly everywhere. He currently looks at his computer taking occasional sips of his Americano.
"It crazy here," I say
"Yeah, we have a study upstairs but Uriah and Zeke are always so noisy," Four mentions
"Tell me about it, I lived with them for 17 years," I say
"That must have sucked,"
"Trust me it did,"
"WE CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW," Zeke shout from upstairs.
"Point proven," I comment.
"Anyway why are you studying?" I ask "Ivy starts like next week,"
"Last year before I graduate, I need to get good SAT scores," he mumbles
"And Zeke and Uriah are throwing an alphabet party so I'm going to my apartment to study," he says
"An alphabet party!" I say confused "What, do they sing the alphabet together or something,"
Four chuckles. "No you dress up something that starts with the same letter your name starts with like Tris, Toga, you dress up in a toga,"
"And you going to miss the party?" I say.
"They have one every weekend," Four explains "It's just one of those average college parties where everyone gets drunk, grinds, has sex, smokes weed and shit,"
"That's average around here?" I screech.
"Yeah what parties did you go to?" he asks
"Well, people got drunk and stuff but mostly you'd have like a good time, karaoke, beer pong, no drugs involved," I say
"The last one before University starts is crazy, I recommend you not to go,"
"Yeah I didn't want to wear a toga either,"
He laughs.
"Well I'll let you get back to studying," I say.
He gives me a polite nod before placing on his Beats.
I walk past the game room and see my brothers and two girls sitting in a circle. I look at my brothers and wiggle my eyebrows before I cheerfully skip to my room. What the fuck am I doing?
"Tris can I talk to you?" Uriah asks.
"Yep, what's wrong,"
"I really like Marlene the girl in the blue shirt, Zeke really useless at help us get together can you play with us and you know get her to go out with me?" he asks embarrassed.
"Sure," I say happily.
"Really!" he exclaims
"Yeah what are you guys playing?"
"Truth or dare,"
"Even better," I say slyly
I walk down to the room with Uriah.
"Well Tris is going to play with us," Uriah mentions
"Hi, I'm the Pedrad sister, Tris," I introduce.
"I'm Marlene," says a pretty girl with mid-long wavy blonde hair and soft brown eyes.
"And I'm Shauna," says a girl with long brunette hair tied up in a ponytail and jade-coloured eyes.
"My baby sister, truth or dare," Uriah asks he's a minute older than me!
"Dare,"
"I dare you to run downstairs and flash your boobs at Four and run off," he mentions
1.That would be awkward since we slept together
2.It won't be that big of a deal since he's already…seen them
3.That would be rude since I am intruding his study time
4.I'm only playing this to get Uriah and Marlene together
Zeke death stares at Uriah and than at me.
I start to take off my jacket.
"Aye, aye, aye, what are you doing?" Uriah asks.
"Taking off my jacket because I forfeit," I say stating the obvious.
"We take shots of Vodka," Zeke says
"It's 1 pm," I exclaim.
They all shrug their shoulders. I take a shot and I don't faze one bit. I choose Marlene.
"Marlene, truth or dare," I say
"Dare,"
"I dare you to kiss and go on a date with one of my brothers,"
I see Marlene look down and blush before standing up.
Shit, shit, shit, she's walking towards Zeke.
I see Uriah eyes sadden until she turns and kisses Uriah right smack bam on the lips. It takes Uriah to kiss back and once their done. I pretend to look at my watch less wrist and say.
"Oh look at the time, I've got to go," I say before racing out.
"There's a party this afternoon," Zeke shouts
"Not going," I shout back.
I lye on my bed.
Where and what am I going to do. It's not like I can go running for eight hours or more. I need to sleep somewhere where people are not having sex in the room across.
I hear a faint knock.
"Come in," I say as I sit up
I see Four come in with a massive stack of his textbooks and his computer.
"Since you're not going to the party, did you want to go to my apartment with me?" he suggests.
"Yeah that'd be great," I say smiling
"We'll we are leaving in an hour," he tells me before walking to his room.
I fall back onto my bed.
What do you think we're going to do? I mean do you think we will have…sex. No we're friends, I mean friends don't have sex. Plus, he's Zeke's best friend since like middle school and I don't want to sabotage that. But I kind of already have, like we did it at Will's party. Although that was before I knew he was Zeke's best friend. However, we did agree to pretend that never happened. UGH all this thinking whether to pack condom or not. If we do like do it he'll probably have some anyway.
I pack in some modest pyjamas, my essentials and come clothes for the next day. I pack my computer and some earphones. My phone rings.
Christina.
"Hey I haven't hear from you in ages," I exclaim.
"Turn around," she says.
I turn around and see Christina looking perfect as usual.
I squeal and hug her.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"Oh do you not want me here," she says sarcastically
"No! I love it, I have my best friend here with me,"
"Well, when you told me you were going to Ivy, I applied," Christina says "And I got in!"
"Wait what about Will,"
"Do you really my smart ass boyfriend couldn't get in?"
I squeal and hug her again.
"Tris, we're l-" Four says walking in.
"Who's that?" he asks
"This is my best friend, Christina, Christina this is Four, Zeke's best friend, he lives here with us," I introduce.
Four gives a polite nod and tells me.
"Where leaving in 5 minutes if your still coming and Christina is welcome to come," he says while he is walking out.
Christina closes the door.
"He's one fine specimen," Christina gushes "And totally into you,"
I snort. "He doesn't like me and I don't like him and yes I know he's hotter than the sun,"
"Well where were you going with him?" she asks
"My brothers are holding a crazy ass party and I didn't want to go, Four has an apartment next to Venice beach so I'm going there with him, do you want to come?" I ask.
"Nah, I'm going sightseeing with Will and I'll let you and your hot stuff have your private time," she says wiggling her eyebrows.
"Where are you staying?" I ask
"A small condo with Will, it's like a five-minute walk away from the campus," she says. I look at her wiggling my eyebrows.
"Oh shut up, I'll get going," she mentions standing up and walking out.
"Christina," I call
"Mmmhmm," she says not turning around.
"I missed you," I confess.
She turns around and flashes me a smile.
"Of course you did,"
I send Christina out and give her a hug before she drives away in here cute, red mini.
I grab my bags and walk down the stairs and hear my brother and Four have a conversation.
"You better no have sex with her," I nearly laugh my head off at the thought of my brother trying to intimidate Four.
"Dude, I won't plus I need to study," Four reassures.
"You know if I find out that you pound her, I'll pound you," Zeke says
I hear Four laugh.
"Fuck not like that, I'll hurt you," Zeke trys to threaten.
"Sure mate," Four says patting his back.
"Oh and if she tries to seduce you," Zeke mentions "Don't give in,"
I am literally going to burst with laughter.
"This has it's own mind," Four jokes pointing to his crotch area.
"Fourrr," Zeke whines
"Don't worry I won't even touch your sister," he reassures.
I walk down acting oblivious.
"We going?" I ask Four.
He nods before going up to grab his bag we walk out the door.
"Don't worry Zeke, I won't seduce him," I shout as I close the door.
Four and I burst out laughing.
