Chapter 3 :
The following Saturday
Tris POV
During the week, Four and I became really good friend. He is very nice with me, we laugh a lot when we are together and I'm very comfortable when I'm around him. Conversely, with Al . I feel like he likes me but he is very clumsy , and not in a cute way …
After thinking, I get up and prepare breakfast for my brothers. They went for a run early this morning with Four. I wanted to sleep so I didn't go with them. After all the sport they did I think they'll be very hungry and knowing them, they didn't eat a lot before leaving because it was 'so difficult to prepare food' AAARRRGH what would they do without me ? Starve to death or become obese because of going to much at some fast-food probably … I prepare some pancakes, put the Nutella on the kitchen counter, do some fresh orange juice, cut some strawberry to do a salad. I place everything and go in the living room to wait for them.
When they arrive and see what I did for breakfast, they tell me that I'm a goddess ! I knew they would be happy to have something to eat when they came back. We eat together on the counter and talk. Uri ask me if I know what I want to do with Al because it's obvious that he likes me . Zeke and Four agree with him and I sigh … I explain them that I don't know what to do because Al is very nice and I don't want to be mean but neither do I want him as a boyfriend. Actually, I would much prefer Four to become my boyfriend but of course I don't tell them that … He doesn't see me like that I know it. Zeke tell me that if I want he could scare Al away and I answer him that as easy as this solution would be I can't always hide behind him and I have to sort the situation out myself. With that sentence I get up to go to my room and let them clean everything. I have to get ready to go to the mall with the girls. We have to meet for lunch and then spend the afternoon there. Then we all come back to the Pedrad's house. We will eat pizza and watch 'Asterix & Obelix : mission Cleopatra'.
Zeke drop me at the mall and I join Christina & Marlene. We decide to start by lunch so we head toward 'The salad maker' to eat. We eat a salad each and then go to forever 21. I knew that we wouldn't just buy a pajama ! Christina and Marlene squeal and go to find stuff and I look for a place to seat to wait.
15 minutes later, Christina come to me with a bunch of clothes and tell me do go try them on. I try everything and we agree on a few. I finally buy a night blue strapless dress, some tee shirts very basics, 2 jeans 'le temps des cerises' , because they do like if I had a bottom, and a scarf. Christina and Marlene buy a lot of clothes too. We then head toward Zara, I only buy some shirts there and a grey jacket. We then go to the leather center and I buy a new jacket because I wear mine like every day and I need a new one to alternate.
Soon it's 4 P.M and we didn't even buy what we went for : a pajamas. We go to Victoria secret to do so and this time I decide to implicate myself in it because I do want to look cute tonight. We spend a lot of time there, I think each of us have the same objective in mind : be cute because there is a cute boy we might like tonight. Well, for Christina it's already her boyfriend but still. I think about it for a minute and then I realize that the boy Marlene want to impress is Uriah. I knew I saw her looks in his direction way too many time. I'll have to talk to him about it (with diplomacy of course don't worry !) to see how he feels about her and the possibility of a relationship between them ! We finally choose our pajamas and go pay for them, we also bought some cute underwear while we were there. Christina chose a pajama with pink tiles. It's composed of a shirt and a short. Marlene chose a coral & grey pajamas. It's composed of a tank top and a legging. I chose a light blue pajamas, Christina said it brings out my eyes. It's composed of a tank top and a short. It's perfect !
It's 5.15 P.M when we go out of VS so we decide it's time to go home and to put everything in place for tonight. Marlene hadn't finished her homework and it was a condition sine qua non without which her mother won't let come tonight so she go back to her home while Chris and I go back to mine. I'm glad because it means spend some time with my best friend alone and it's kind of rare.
Christina and I place everything for the night, prepare some popcorn and order the pizza delivery for 8 P.M. Then, we go in my room to prepare us and spend some girl time together.
Around 8 P.M everybody is here and we just wait for the pizza to arrive to start the movie. Christina and Will settled in one of the sofa, Zeke and Shauna in another (knew it !), Uriah and Marlene are lying down on a mattress in front of the TV. That leave Four, I and Al in the last sofa. I can see in the corner of my eyes Uri winking and chuckling at me because of Al … And because things always get better when I come back from picking the pizza I realize that because Al and Four don't like each other very much they let me the place in the middle. Great just GREAT ! Moreover I see the amusement in Four eyes because he was there when I explained the situation this morning.
We press the play button to start the movie and that's when the things get worse. I feel Al trying to get closer to me. I try to get closer to Four to let space between Al and I but he doesn't seem to get it. That movie is one of the funnier I know and I spend the night trying to avoid Al attempts to seduce me. Sometimes I feel like it's a bad jokes because he does like in a very very bad movie. For example, he waits for me to take a pizza and then takes one to and makes our hands touch. In brief it's a looooong night … When the movie finish everybody but Four who spend the night here with Zeke leave. When it's Al turn to leave, he kisses me so quickly that I don't have time to push him or anything and then leave ever quicker (probably afraid of Zeke, but if you want my opinion, if he wasn't that preoccupied by trying to hold on his laughter with Four and Uri he would maybe be doing something to HELP ME !). Then it's just the 4 of us so we stay a bit in the living room talking, laughing, joking etc. that's only when my phone buzz that I realize how much in trouble I am. It's a text from Al that says 'Goodnight girlfriend. So happy .. love' I stop in the middle of my laugher and the guys ask me what happened. I show them the text and Uri laugh his ass off with Zeke while Four smile but seems pissed. Zeke says to me 'still sure you don't need my help ?' I answer 'HAHA very funny !' Then I answer to Al's text 'Goodnight to you too.' I decide that it's enough emotion for one night so that I should go to sleep. I'll sort things out tomorrow morning.
When I wake up in the morning there is only Four left. Uriah left to go to Marlene's house and Zeke to Shauna's. Four has made the breakfast for us and when he sees me he says 'figure you'll want some company and that maybe I could help you to sort things out' I smile at him because that's so cute, nice, etc. of him. Ok, now I'm falling for him .. GREAT ! In my defense he is very nice with me, we get along well and let's face it he is not too bad for the eyes, we could even say incredibly hot without lying… We spend the morning laughing and talking without even mentioning Al. In fact I would have forgot if I just didn't receive a text form him now. When Four see my face he guesses who it is and ask me what he says. I show him the text and he reads 'coming in 15 sweetheart, can't wait to see you babe' after reading he looks at me and says 'well he seems that you should tell him that you're not at home and now we have a good excuse to move, I know the perfect place to think you'll see' I smile at this and send to Al : 'I'm not at home sorry' I know that it's bad how I act with him but in my defense he didn't really ask me for my opinion and I don't want to hurt him now that he thinks we are a couple …
Four drives us till what looks like a former amusement park. Well, amusement park is a big word, there is a Ferris wheel and some sofa sheltered from the rain by some kind of roof. In my opinion the last showmen left everything like that when they left. The place is amazing, we can see that nobody went there for a long time but at the same time it doesn't look dirty. I settle myself on one of the sofa and Four settle himself next to me. I like our proximity. NOOO Tris ! Stay focus you have a problem to fix today. Four and I talk there and sometimes I feel like he is going to kiss me but he never does … We decide that the best option with Al would be to call him now and try to explain the nicer possible that I don't feel that way, that I really like him and enjoy his company but as a friend, no more no less. So that's what I do with Four by my side. Al doesn't take it well … He tells me that he didn't force me and that I'm just a bitch who doesn't assume the fact to be with him because he is less popular than our other friend. I try to explain but he doesn't want to hear what I got to say and hung up saying that he will have a revenge. I'm pretty sure that he said that under the anger so I let it go. That is why we thought that it was best to call him today, first Four could be with me while I talk and give support, second Al would have sometime to calm himself before school tomorrow and finally the sooner was the better. We stay there like we were before the call, I enjoy his closeness and we do nothing in particular. I suppose he is resting from his nigh with Zeke because they probably didn't sleep that much …
Soon, too soon it's time to go back so we leave. Four doesn't seem eager to go back at his home, it's strange it's like he was trying to postpone the moment where he would have to go home. That's the reason why I offer him to sleep at home again tonight and I tell him that if he doesn't have any more clothes to wear he could always borrow Zeke's. Four seems very happy to agree. When we arrive home he goes to Zeke's room to join his friend and I go the kitchen to prepare dinner for everybody. You could almost think that this afternoon never existed but the glance we shared during dinner says otherwise.
After dinner, Zeke and Four go play to the PS3 and Uriah and I spend some twin time. Uriah tell me about Marlene. He doesn't know if he likes her yet but they are at least very good friends. I told him about Al which make him laugh just by thinking at my face when Al kissed me yesterday night. We also talk about Four, the fact that I might like him (a lot) and he tells me that he saw something at dinner but he didn't want to tell in front of Zeke. Uri thinks that Four likes me too, in fact he said love but I can't believe that. He told me that he would investigate on Monday and tell me the conclusion of his investigation on our next twin time. Uri and I also talk about our art project and a lot of other things. We fall asleep in Uri's bed, I always sleep very well with my brother, probably some consequences of our twin's bond. I be well rested to face tomorrow. Good, I'll need it.
