Chapter 7: An Adventure

- Two Weeks Later -

It's a normal afternoon on a normal Friday. I'm sitting behind the counter at my job daydreaming about turning into Cupid. Then I see someone approach the counter. Ah, yes, it's the normal annoying person. Four, aka Captain Annoying, is standing across from me talking about something and making me want to shoot myself. Completely normal.

Why am I taking note of all these 100% normal things? Because I am so. Freaking. Bored. The timer that I set to go off at the end of my shift goes off. I go and change back into my normal clothes and walk out the normal exit. I contemplate going home but then I realize that it's a Friday and that Captain Poser will be throwing a party. I also realize that Tori is having her book club tonight. Great.

I sit down in the shade of a tree and just stare into space. Someone sits next to me. I swear to god I will kill him. Then I realize, maybe the solution to my border is right in front of me: Four and I can go on an adventure.

I suddenly hop off the ground. Four flinches, as if waiting for a hit. You wish.
"Your coming with me." I say.
"Why? Are you going to kill me?" Four asks. God, he's an idiot.
"No, I'm not going to kill you, idiot. We're going on an adventure!" I shout like I little child. He laughs.
"Fine." He says.

I drag him off the ground and start walking in a random direction. We walk for about five minutes before he speaks.
"Um, Tris?"
"Yeah?" I ask, hardly even paying attention.
"Can you let go of my arm." He says and I immediately let go of it.

We keep walking until the sun starts to go down. I then notice that I have no clue where we are.
"Four, where are we?" I ask.
"I thought you knew where we were going!" He shouts. I look at him with my eyes wide.

"We're lost." I state.
"Really?" He asks sarcastically. I ignore him.
"Do you have your phone?" I ask. He shakes his head no. I sigh.
"Do you?" He asks.
"No, it's in Tori's car." I say. I kick a rock.
"What do we do?" He asks.
"We sit and wait for someone to find us." I say. I sit down on the grass beneath us. I look around and see that we are in a suburb looking place. Great.

We sit in silence for what seems like hours.
"Tris, I just realized that I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with a girl I hardly know." Four says not facing me.
"There's a reason you don't know much about me." I say.
"What is it?"
"We're not friends." At this he faces me.

"Why don't we become friends, then? You know, something to pass the time." He says, adding the last part on quickly.
"Fine. But this 'friendship' is a one-time-only thing." I say grumpily. Four laughs.
"I don't think that's how it works, Tris." He says gently.
"Fine! Have it your way! But just because we're 'friends' doesn't mean I'm going to speak to you or be nice." I shout. He just smiles.

"What's your favorite color?"
"Black." I answer.
"What's your favorite animal?"
"Shark."
"Favorite food?"
"Meat."
"Favorite sport?"
"Track."
"Funny, I've never seen you play sports before." Well, folks, we have a winner! Thank you so much for blessing us with your knowledge, Four! I think you may be smarter than-
"Uriah?"
"STOP READING MY THOUGHTS!" I scream.

Finally, I see a pair of headlights. I manage to make out the silhouette of a man inside the car. Four goes rigid.
"Who's that?" I ask.
"It's my... dad." Four says. He starts gasping for breath.
"Dude, chill. What's the worst he'll do? Ground you?" I ask in attempt to calm him down. In all honesty, it freaks me out to see Four panic.
"Something like that."

Sorry I haven't updated this story in forever, I've just been to lazy to write another chapter.

Today I was looking through all of my Instagram posts and I found my first one. It was of a wall and the comments went a little like this:

Me: It's a wall

Friend 1: Just a wall?

Friend 2: Life's a wall

Me: I'm making poetry with pictures.

It was really funny to me.
