A/N: Hey guys, here's the next chapter! I know, I know, a bit of a shortie. But I kind of had one giant chapter, so I had to split it in two. Disclaimer - I don't own any of the stores mentioned.

I wake up to my phone ringing. I rub my eyes and check the time, seeing that it's almost 10 in the morning. I contemplate staying in bed all day, but I decide to answer.

"Hello?" I say groggily, and am cut off by Christina's yelling.

"Tris?! Are you still sleeping?"

"Not anymore," I roll my eyes.

"Well get up, we're going shopping!" she says too excitedly.

I groan, "But it's an hour's drive and I don't even like shopping."

"Then just come to hang out, everyone's going," she says.

Oh great. Four. There goes my sanity for today.

"Shauna's birthday's next week, we need dresses!" she yells in my ear.

I sigh. "Fine, I'll go." I need to get out of the house, or I know I'll just lie around all day.

She squeals. "Be ready in half an hour!"

I get out of bed and take a quick shower. I put on a black tank top and some denim shorts. I put on a little bit of mascara, so that I don't look like a zombie. I grab my crossbody and head downstairs.

"Tori?" I shout.

"In here, hun!"

I follow her voice to the living room, where she's reading the newspaper. Add to the list of things I have trouble adjusting to here.

"Christina and everyone are coming to pick me up in a bit. We're heading to town to do some shopping."

"Shopping?" she asks, "Ok. Be back before dinner."

"Sure," I say, just as I hear a honk outside. "Bye Tori!"

"Bye sweetie, have fun!" she replies.

I grab my black boots and head out. I see Uriah and Zeke's SUV – Zeke is driving and Four's in the front seat.

Zeke honks the car horn and yells, "Dayum girl!" earning a slap on the head from Shauna, and a small laugh from Four. He's just staring at me as I walk towards the car, and now I feel extremely self conscious… but then again, when do I not?

Not 10 minutes in, Zeke and Uriah are arguing about the radio. Marlene and Shauna sigh and roll their eyes. Will and Four put earphones in, while Christina and I just look at each other.

"So I heard, from Zeke and Shauna, that Four spent the whole day with you yesterday," she says quietly. Wow news travels fast.

"Umm, yea," I reply, earning a pointed look with raised eyebrows.

"Oh come on, spill."

I sigh, "We just went riding, did some chores, and played videogames. Nothing to spill."

She gives me another look, "Tris… come on,"

I look at her for a few seconds, but when the staring contest is over, I relent. It has been turning in my mind for a day, I need to talk to her. "Fine. We, um… we were fighting over a controller, and… we, um… we kissed," I say almost inaudibly.

"WHAT?!" she yells so loudly, Zeke and Uriah stop arguing, and Four and Will take out their earphones. I close my eyes and whisper to myself, "Oh god."

"The hell?" asks Uriah, and everyone in the car looks at us expecting some sort of explanation for Christina's outburst. I give her a look that says, "keep your freakin' mouth shut," and thankfully, she listens.

"Nothing, nothing," explains Christina. Everyone goes back to what they were doing with "mhmm" and "whatever."

But she doesn't leave it at that. She whisper yells at me to give details, and we go down the long road of gossip. Fun.

After a long, interesting car ride, we finally pull into town, and I look around. Lovely shops everywhere, I love it because it's more like home. I've only been to town a few times, with Tori.

We get to the mall parking lot and one by one get out of the car. When I get out, I give Four another glance, but look away before anyone sees. I don't really know where our relationship lies, so I just want to get my mind off of him.

"Where to first?" asks Will.

"Ooh, follow me!" yells Christina.

When the girls start to enter a Victoria's Secret, I abruptly stop. "Uh uh, not goin' in there," I say.

"Triiiiiiis," Christina whines, while Zeke and Uriah just laugh. I look at Marlene and Shauna's puppy dog faces, and sigh the loudest sigh you've ever heard.

"Fine. But be quick."

Christina squeals again, and hugs me so hard my stomach hurts. We walk in, even with the guys, because pretty much each of them is with their girlfriend… except for Four.

After looking around for a couple of minutes, a beautiful black lace bra is put in my hands. "Try this on," says Christina.

I give her a look, but she returns a death stare. We go to the change rooms and she stands outside the door. "Come out when you're done, I wanna see it."

As soon as I come out in a bra and the pants I was wearing, Four comes saying, "Hey guys, the others said-" but stops when he sees me.

I look at him in shock for a few seconds, before I realize I'm exposed and quickly go back in the change room and close the door. I take deep breaths and hear Four's deep voice again. He clears his throat and says, "The others wanna get Chinese food. Meet you at the front in 10."

I hear his footsteps get quieter as he walks away, followed by Christina's banging on the door to let her in. I open the door and she runs in and closes it. "Oh my god!" she exclaims.

My face is tomato red, which Christina doesn't fail to point out. "I can't believe that just happened. Oh my gosh you're blushing."

"Yeah no kidding!" I kind of freak out.

"He was totally checking you out!" she says, a bit too loudly. I sigh close my eyes, then tell Christina to get out so I can change.

I meet her at the register, black bra in hand, while she's buying about 6 things. "Hey," she smiles, "let me buy that for you."

I look down at the bra. It is beautiful but… "I have no use for overly fancy undergarments."

"I think you do," she winks and takes it out of my hand. Then she whispers to me, "You'll thank me later."

When we walk out to find the others, I try the best I can not to look at Four. We go to the Chinese restaurant in the food court, and I swear we order enough food to feed an army.

I sit between Christina and Marlene, with thoughts of Four once again racing through my head.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it," says Marlene, after Christina explains to her what happened.

"I know right? He was totally checking her out!"

I stare at my food and say absolutely nothing - despite the fact that their conversation is starting to irritate me. I don't even glance at Four, not taking any chances.

After lunch, we head into several clothing stores, and of course later on we go to Lush. (A/N: yasss) We come out of the mall with quite a few bags, though most of them are Christina and Marlene's.

We pile back up in the car, when my friends do an evil thing.

I am pushed to the back with Four and Shauna, but Four is in the middle. I am forced to sit through and hour car ride, next to the ever-so-confusing Four. Fantastic.

I stare out the window for a while and find myself drifting off to sleep.

A/N: I have the next chapter pretty much done, but here's a bit of a heads up for afterwards. Over Christmas break I'll have time to write a lot more, but I'll be in the mountains without service/wifi. :( So I'll be posting more in January. Please review!
