A/N: Shortish chapter. Be back as soon as I can.
| Tris |
I look in the mirror and see the hickey Tobias left.
Should I cover it up? Nah.
I walk down wearing a pinky beige top with ripped jeans and a Victoria's Secret jacket. I have my hair down so no one can see the hickey that Tobias 'regrettably' gave me. I flash a smile to Al who I walk pass. Al is a guy who provides me food and I would do anything for a person that offers me food. I know he likes me, always smiling and staring at me but he's not really my type. He has longish blonde hair that tends to be in a chef's hat but today he's in normal clothes. He's got some welcoming opal eyes but Tobias's eyes hmmmm. He's tall, nearly taller than Tobias but Al looks like a giant teddy bear. Not something that I'd like to fuck. He just has the soft look as if he would do whatever you want and be scared of you. But at least he makes a mean ass spaghetti bolognaise.
"Hey Al," I say
"Um h-hey Miss Pedrad," he stutters.
I snort and laugh a bit, "Don't ever call me that again, it's Tris,"
"Okay, um, I was just heading out because it's my day off,"
"Well, have fun, see you at the football game this afternoon?" I ask
He gives me a smile and nods.
"See you there," I say
"You got it," he says a little more casually before walking off.
I hear the front door close.
"You're not having sex with him, right?" Zeke asks
"Ew no, he cooks me food, he deserves a little respect," I say
"Woah, new side of Tris, what's happened to snobby Tris?" Zeke teases me
"WHAT, I am totally not arrogant," I exclaim
"Yeah you are, I know we have money and stuff but you seem to think you're better than other people," he says
"No, I do not," I say
"Do you know how to do your laundry?" he asks
I divert my eyes.
"Jesus, Tris even Uriah knows and he's as dumb as a rock,"
"Shut up, there are people that do that for me," I state being a little snobby.
"Woop, back comes snobby Tris,"
"Zeke leave me alone," I say
"Aww is little Trissy sad," he teases
"Zeke, fuck off," I say.
"Awww, is Trissy going to cry,"
"Zeke, stop it,"
"Aww, Trissy can't handle this,"
"Zeke, you're getting on my last nerve,"
"Zeke, leave the poor girl alone," I hear Tobias say from behind me.
"Aww, Trissy can't fight her own fights,"
"Really if you say something in that voice once more, I am going to do something you will hate,"
"Oh no, what can you do that will make me annoyed,"
An idea sparks in my head.
"Oh you'll never know,"
"Awww, little Tris is trying to intimidate her brother,"
"Zeke, leave her alone," Tobias says standing beside me.
"I dare you to say something in that voice again, I dare you," I say in a stern tone.
"Aww little Tris-," he ends up wheezing as I kick him in the balls, I flash him a cheesy smile and skip off.
"Fuck you," he strangles out.
I grab my bag and drive to school. I spot Matthew in the back of the class so I quickly slip in the front as the professor talks.
The moment the lecture finishes I rush outside with Matthew hot on my heels shouting out my name. I spot a bathroom and rush in.
I literally sit in a cubicle on my phone for ten minutes before I walk out and fix up my hair.
I walk out and see Matthew, who apparently had been waiting for me.
"Tris?" I hear a deep voice call.
I turn and see Tobias.
"Hey!," I exclaim grabbing him and pulling him to a corner.
"Woah, we're not doing anything in this corner," he mentions
"No, no ,it was just very busy in the hallway couldn't really hear you," I lie
"Zeke wanted me to check up on you with University and stuff," he says
"OH like what?"
"Friends, I'm not sure,"
"Just tell him fine,"
He nods
"Well, I gotta head off but see you at the game?" he asks
"Yup,"
He gives me a small wave before rushing off. With no sight of Matthew, I start to walk off towards the car park but obviously God loves me and Matthew parked near me and saw me. I mean seriously out of every car spot in this four storied tower.
"Tris!" he exclaims rushing towards me. "shit nice ride,"
"Thanks," I say
"So tonight?"
"I'm sorry but I'm still going with my friends,"
"Let me guess one of those friends is the one that gave you that blazing hickey?" he asks
Shit I put my hair up in the bathroom. As a reaction I cover it with my hand.
"NO, I had that yesterday, I just, um, made out with a guy and yeah," I awkwardly explain.
"I'm sure you're friends will be fine without you for one game,"
"I'm sorry, maybe next time?" I lie
"Yeah okay, sure, you have my number anyway,"
I give him a smile before driving home.
The game started in two hours and I probably needed to find the stadium and stuff.
I have a long shower and start to get ready.
Look at the red and black jersey that had the name Eaton with the number Four.
Hmmm Eaton I've heard of that somewhere. Oh well.
I put on the shirt and it goes down just past mid thigh, so I decide to tie it up. It'd probably be cold but oh well, Tobias likes my legs. I put on my Nike pro shorts and tie up my hair. I cover the hickey and replace my normal eye shadow with red. I put on red and black zinc on my cheeks and check myself in the mirror. Okay, my legs are literally shining.
I grab my adidas black and white pure boosts before heading out the door.
It's quite hard to miss the stadium right now as the traffic is hell and there a strong streaming lights. I park probably a couple hundred metres away and walk to the stadium.
I notice that I am receiving a lot of stares and whispers. I look toward the floor as a walk trying to ignore all this attention. I hear someone snap a photo. I look toward the direction of the sound. I give the girl a piercing glare, I smile smugly as I see her cower a little. I continue walking until I actually arrive.
I have no idea where to go so I call Tobias.
"Hey," I say
"Tris, where are you?"
"Outside, I think I'm near the East entrance,"
"Okay, um, can you see a popcorn stand near the entrance?" he asks
"Yep," I reply looking at the overcrowded popcorn stand.
"Meet you there," he says
"Okay, see you soon,"
"Bye,"
I walk towards the stand; I see nearly everyone looking at me. Okay?
"Tris!" I hear Four shout.
Everyone turns their head towards Four and people go crazy. Most of the girls a squealing and fanning themselves.
I run towards him.
"Hey," I say engulfing him into a hug.
While I still am hugging him, I whisper into his ear. "You look so hot with the padding,"
He smirks and shakes his head. I see a glint of mischief in his eye.
"You look hot in my jersey," he says
That sends my heartbeat racing. Why? That never happens with anyone else
We enter through some VIP-like entrance and into a secluded area of the stadium which, from my guess, is where the cheerleaders, girlfriends, friends and family sit.
"Hey," I exclaim seeing Christina in a cheer costume.
"I'm guessing you got in," I say
She nods elated.
"Is that Four's jersey?" she says with her voices laced with envy.
"Oh yeah, he asked me if I could wear it, you know friendly support," I lie.
She gives me a sour smile and a light nod knowing I'm lying. She turns back to cheerleaders completely excluding me. Bitch. I go on my phone minding my own business until someone sits next to me.
"Hey," this girl who looks familiar.
She is really pretty. She has long wavy brunette hair and jade eyes.
"Hi, sorry, do I know you?" I ask
"Oh I don't think I've introduced myself properly," she mentions.
"I'm Shauna, Zeke's girlfriends,"
"You, date my brother!" I exclaim
She nods slightly confused
"Oh my gosh, you can do so much better," I gush
She lets out a small chuckle
"Why are you even with him?" I ask.
"Various reason, I love him even though sometimes I want to punch him in the face," she says.
I let out a small laugh. Than a blonde girl sits beside her.
"This is Marlene, Uriah's girlfriends,"
"Oh yeah, aren't I the one that set you guys up," I ask
"Yes, I never got to thank you," she exclaims "I was waiting for Uriah to grow some ball and ask me,"
"Uriah will never grow some balls, he's like a tiny little scare teddy bear," I say
Us three girls laugh.
"So you and Four?" Shauna asks "I am surprised Zeke let that happened, he's so overprotective of you,"
"OH, no Four and I aren't a thing,"
"Really?" Marlene asks
"Yeah, were just friends,"
"Are you sure, because we've both seen how you two look at each other," they say
I try and restrain a blush.
"No, no we're friends," I say
"Shame, he is a solid ten and girls fling left and right to him," Shauna says "but he's seemed happier since you arrived, so I assumed you guys are dating,"
"And you wearing his jersey, I haven't even worn Uriah's nor has Shauna," Marlene says
I chuckle, "I mean he's not bad looking," I lie completely
They both flash me a look.
"So you here alone?" Marlene asks
"Oh no, my best friend Christina is right there," I say. I turn to see the whole cheer squad gone and sitting at the back.
"Cheer squad?" they asks
"She's a little pissed at me because she likes Four," I say.
"Oh so you don't want to date Four because your friend likes him," Shauna says
"Makes sense, but you should just tell her, it'll be a less messy situation," Marlene says
"NO, No, Four and I aren't a thing, no connections, no romance, just friends," I exclaim.
They wink. "Your secrets safe with us,"
Dammit.
Before I knew it the game started.
