Chapter 20: The Second Best Matchmaker (Doo-da-doo, don't mind me editing this slightly)

I make it a point to smirk and wiggle my eyebrows whenever I see my brother. I don't know when I'm going to stop doing it, probably when is relationship ends but until then I will tease him to no end. Susan and Caleb's relationship is now the hottest gossip of the school. I may or may not have helped start that rumor by telling Christina. I know Susan hates the attention but that's the price of dating the "bad boy" of the school.

(I am having way too much fun holding this above my brother's head. Whenever Caleb does something I don't like I can just threaten to tell my parents about him and Susan. Technically we're allowed to date, but we have to bring the relationship interest home and get them approved before hand. Caleb obviously does not want to bring Susan over for a "meet the family" type date, which is probably quite wise of him. Let's just say my dad knows how to be embarrassing and has rubbed off a little on me.

Cupid questions have been through the roof as of late. Most of the questions are asking about whether I think Susan and Caleb really are dating how long I think they'll last, if I "ship it", and, of course, why Caleb doesn't like them and likes the quiet, studious girl in the back of the classroom who constantly tries not to draw attention to herself. I always respond that yes, they are dating; I think they'll last quite a while; I totally ship it; and because that is the way that love works.

The bell rings, signaling the end of history and my thoughts. Next up is lunch.

I walk over to my usual table consisting of Christina, Will, Caleb, Susan, Uriah, Zeke, Marlene, Lynn, and Four. I'm not sure when my small group of three got so any new additions but some days I'm glad for it. Others it annoys me a lot.

I sit next to Lynn and we start laughing and joking right away. Christina and Will are shamelessly making out which I find absolutely disgusting, Zeke and Four are talking about gods knows what (probably something lame like football), Marlene and Uriah are doing similar to Christina and Will, and Susan and Caleb are holding hands, both blushing hysterically. I would be lying if I said that they aren't adorable.

Some annoying cheerleader that I don't know the name of sits down next to me. I raise an eyebrow at her and she gives me a look that shows that she's unfocused on me. I turn behind me and see Four talking with another cheerleader. I feel a constricting feeling in my chest. It's making my vision slightly red.

"Calm down Tris," I remind myself. "You need to keep your emotions in check."

Three seconds of weakness. That's all I'll tolerate.

One.

Oh, how I would love to rip her pretty head from her shoulders.

Two.

It sure would be a shame if she fell down the steps later today.

Three.

Stupid cheerleader messing with my man.

I shake my head to clear myself of that last thought. Thoughts like those used to startle me but now I'm growing used to them. I have no idea where they come from, but they disturb me slightly.

I focus back on the cheerleader in front of me. Hold on, cheerleaders. One is a brunette with beautiful blue eyes. The other has deeply tanned skin, choppy brown hair, and eyes that change every time I look at them. They are both beautiful and make me feel a little self conscious. I have no clue who they are or why they're here, they just are.

The blue eyed one is focused on Four and the asian looking girl who is flirting with him. The tanned one is focused on me.

"Hello," I say in a quiet voice, intimated by the two gorgeous girls.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Lynn asks gruffly. The one with blue eyes sighs.

"I'm Silena," she says. I look at the second one.

"I'm Piper," she says in a strange voice. "May you please excuse the idiot over there, Drew." I nod distractedly. There is something about that voice that would make me jump off the side of the earth just because Piper told me to. Silena gives her a pointed look that causes Piper to mutter an apology.

"Okay. Why are you bothering my friends and me?" I ask quite rudely. Lynn pats me a little on the back. Piper and Silena share a look.

"Well, I'm the second best matchmaker in the school and I can see a possible relationship forming between you and a certain football player." Silena says and then giggles. I realize what she's saying and turn back towards Four. He looks annoyed by the girl, Drew I think her name was, who is batting her eyelashes excessively. I scowl a tiny bit.

"Yeah, not going to happen. Sorry." I respond dryly. Silena purses her lips.

"Why not?" Piper asks.

"Because I don't like Captain Annoying!" I all but shout at the two cheerleaders.

"Really? Because based on the way you look at him constantly and have started letting him sit with you and walk you to your classes, I think you do." Silena says. I growl. No joke.

"Tris, I think she's right." Lynn says. I turn my gaze to her and she is smirking with amusement shining in her eyes. My glare isn't scaring her in the slightest.

And as if things couldn't get any worse, my dear best friend, that I love and absolutely hate, decided to join the conversation.

"Ooh! Tris and Four! They'd be adorable!" She squeals.

"Christina!" I bark. "I thought you hated him!" Christina laughs.

"It is true that I do not like him very much myself, but you on the other hand..." She trails off while wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. I facepalm, slightly trying to hide my blush.

All four girls are grinning crazily while I sit here awkwardly and uncomfortably.

"I'm no Cupid- Heck! I'm not even a Silena!- but even I can see a possible relationship there!" Piper says.

"It's officially my OTP! It will happen if it's the last thing I do!" Silena squeals. Christina and her both shriek and make plans to make t-shirts and everything.

I sit in silence with Lynn and Piper grinning at me. Lynn is the first to speak.

"Listen, Tris, I know you don't want to think of this relationship as being possible. But you have to accept that, even if you're not fully aware of it yet, you like Four. And I'm almost positive that he likes you too. Some of us would be pretty happy and trade quiet a few things for the person they like or love to love them back. Unrequited love sucks. I would know." She mumbles the last part but I know both Piper and I heard it loud and clear. I sling an arm around her shoulder and give her a quick mini-hug. Then I return to the task at hand.

"Guys, don't you think I would know if I liked someone." Silena chose this exact moment to re-emerge from her two-person group huddle with Christina.

"Oh, tut tut, that's the thing! Half the time you don't even know you like the person! There is a very fine line between love and hate. Actually, there might not be one at all! Oh my gods! I think I just made the biggest love discovery since the kiss! Someone give me a pen and paper!" She then runs around frantically looking for a pen and paper.

"Anyways," Piper picks up. "Love is often mistaken for hate. Haven't you ever read any cute romance novels where the teens get each other and then, one day -bam!- they love each other?"

"Um, honestly? No. Action books are more my style." I respond. Christina looks offended, but I am more than used to that.

"Ugh!" Christina groans and throws her hands up in the air. "You're hopeless!" I smile.

"I take pride in it." Christina glares.

Then Drew comes over looking satisfied with her work for today. She looks at the two cheerleaders with a hateful look.

"Come on you two! Let's go! Why are you even talking to the losers!" Silena and Piper both look ready to snap but I beat them to it.

"Um, excuse me? I am fully aware that I'm a loser but it's just plain rude to say it to my face! At least I'm not so fake that my whole identity revolves around makeup!" I scoff.

Drew opens her mouth but I'm not finished yet.

"I mean, seriously! You would think that people couldn't tell it was you on your passport and not some other random chick! Or, wait, don't tell me! Did you wear makeup when you got that photo taken? Silly me! Of course you did! You without makeup is like the human race with air! It's like books without words! It doesn't happen!" I scream. Most of the heads in the cafeteria have turned my way as I just barley notice. I don't know what it is about her that makes me feel so angry, but something does. She looks ready enough to fire insults back back Piper starts dragging her away.

"We shall continue this discussion later." Silena says and hands me a slip of paper.

The cheerleaders walk away while I examine the business card Silena gave me.

Silena Beauregard

Head Cheerleader

2nd Best Matchmaker of Divergent High

(xxx)-xxx-xxxx

Something tells me that no matter what happens, this conversation will be continued.

Line Break

It's been dark outside for quiet a while and the only light in probably the whole house is my laptop.

I've been answering questions for a while. Most of them are still about Caleb and Susan, which, frankly, bore me now. I zone out and unconsciously answer them until one question really breaks through to me.

I'm trying to get this girl together with a guy and she won't admit her feelings. Any tips?

Anger flares a bit in me. I know exactly who this is. I know somewhere inside of me that I shouldn't give myself away but I'm too offended by the question to care.

Leave the poor girl alone! She probably doesn't like him! There! Problem solved!

I shut the laptop off and place it on my bedside table. As I drift off two thoughts race across my mind.

One is how Silena is going to most likely still try to force me to get with Four. The next one I'll tell myself never happened later when I realize what it means.

It's a thought about how maybe, quite possibly, I'd like to date Four.

My apologies for disappearing off the face of the earth for a while there! I've been reading the PJO series and I have accepted the challenge (of course from myself) to try and read the whole first and second series before Blood of Olympus comes out on Tuesday. I just finished Mark of Athena so I don't think this is going to work. Maybe a miracle will occur and I'll be able to read House of Hades with lightning speed but I don't think that will happen. Oh well. And, to my fellow Demigods (well, seeing as I'm still working on the series I guess I'm not a full one yet but whatever): Yes. I did include Silena, Piper and Drew. I think I'll just add Beckendorf and Jason and then I'll leave it there without making this a full fledged crossover.

Anyways, how has everyone else been? I hope everyone is good. I. Going to a funeral for a relative I didn't knwo that well on Thrusday and I get to see all of my crazy second-cousins again. Yay. The last time I saw them one of them lock me I the basement and forced me to learn dances. That was fun. *sarcasm*

I've come up with a theory that to be a true 100% part of the fandom you have to somewhat ship at least one fanon ship. Most of mine are slash because idk, I'm just drawn to slash, but I have one for all of my fandoms. Do you agree? I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying that! I didn't mean I wouldn't accept you or not treat you like part of the fandom because of it but that's what I believe. And if you don't ship anything fanon you are missing out on a whole lotta pain and some joy!

I guess that's QOTD.

QOTD: Do you ship anything fanon? If so, what is it?

My answer: Yup. I ship Percico (I also ship Percabeth, just not as much), I ship Wolfstar (ugh, they're so perfect for each other), troyler (this one involves real people so I don't know if it counts or not), Katnick (one of my all time favorite fics is about them so yes), Dramione ( can't stand her with Ron), Harmony (only somewhat), Drarry (same deal as harmony), Oz and Peter (I'm shameless), Piper and Annabeth (Annabeth deserves to end up with someone once Nico has Percy get together and Jason can be with Reyna or Calypso or someone) and like eight thousand more that I'm totally blanking out on (most of which are Harry Potter).
