hey I realise that the last chapter was quite short so I am going to make this one extra long for all of you. Now, on with the story...
I wake up to my alarm at six-thirty and am suddenly very hungry. Oh yeah, I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday. That's why.
After I have gate washed and done my teeth, I decide to get ready. I wear the jeans that I brought last evening, the ones with the skull pattern. I also throw on a black flows top which distracts from my jeans a little as I really don't like People looking at my legs all that much. After that I do my makeup, just a little foundation, lipgloss and natural eye shadow.
I head downstairs for breakfast and find my parents sitting at the table already eating. No sign of Caleb. That's unusual. "Where's Caleb?"
"he left early to pick some friends up. No you better get going if you don't ant to be late."
Shit is all I an think I leave my breakfast and grab an apple instead. I then slip on my boots and grab my school bag.
,As I exit the house I start down the street at a reasonable rate. Great going Beatrice you're going to be late on your second day! Ugh you're sooooo stupid! I push those thoughts out of my mind and continue on my walk. It shouldn't take me that long and I could make it there with a few minutes to spare.
"Hey!" I hear and turn around. I see Four in a car. "Need a ride?" He questions and I don't hesitate. I nod my head and hop in. Then we speed off. The ride isn't in uncomfortable silence like I worried it might be. Then comes the thing that I dreaded the most. "About yesterday, what did you mean?"
I decide to play dumb. I know exactly what he means. I slipped up. "What?"
"Oh come on. You're not dumb you know exactly what I mean"
"Can you please just leave it a one Four? Please?"
"No I was going to leave it alone but then with your brother at lunch, I think that something's up."
" Fine I'll tell you, but just not right now." He seems satisfied by that answer.
"ok there's no rush. By the way, that tattoo looks great."
" Thanks"
-time skip to lunch-
I've been doing a little bit better at this school than my last. Saying that though, it is only the second day. Most people have noticed my tattoo including Christina. She went absolutely crazy. I still don't know if she liked it or not. Whilst on the subject of tattoos, Uriah reviled that he has one of a snake behind his ear. I'm supprised that I didn't notice it before. But it is pretty well hidden and if you wern't looking for it you wouldn't know that it was there.
Then Zeke speaks. "Everyone coming to our's on Friday yeah? Ok good." God! Nobody ever gets a word in with this guy! "Now we will be playing truth or dare and never have I ever so bring layers for truth or dare but we still need alcohol." Everybody just looked blank.
"I'll bring it." I say
"ok good." Zeke replies.
"wait don't you and Uriah normally get the alcohol?" Will inquires
"yeah but we blew the whole budget that our mom gave us before she left Chicago."-Uriah.
Then he adds to what he just said. "Just so you know Tris, don't get caught with the drinks in school." I keep forgetting that I told Christina my nickname.
"I won't"
The rest of the day went pretty well and before I know it I'm outside the Pit. But today I'm doing something different. Some of the guys that I have met here invited me to race at a street race. Yes it's kinda illegal, but we did do a mini race around here and I am not gonna lie I was frisking awsome.
Plus it's a chance to earn a little bit of cash because my parents really don't give a damn.
"Hey Tris you ready to go?" Maria asks.
"yeah" and I hop in the car.
It's quite a nice car and is suited up for a race with an extra little boost and some other things.
"Right Tris now when we get there we'll park the car and when it's time you can hop right in. " I nod so that Maria knows that I uderstand. It's gonna be epic.
i've never really been to one of these, but we have all come to a mutual agreement which is this.
1) If we win, we will split the money between the four of us. -me Maria, Jacob and Skater. (I know weird name but a nickname.)
2) If this goes well we will come to one every month.
I must have been deep in thought, because before I know it we are pulling up at a slightly lit street with lots of people and cars parked up. We park at the starting point and get out to 'socalise' really it's just everybody placing bets.
I notice the guy who I'll be fighting and see that he is a tall, dark skinned guy with a long beard and pools for eyes.
"You exited?" Asks Skater.
"you know it!."
"well you still have to beat him and they don't tell call him the DESTROYER! For nothing." He says putting on a deep voice when he says destroyer.
"Shut up" I say whilst playfully smacking him on the arm.
The guy running this thing shouts "5 miutes!" We take this as our que to get ready and head over to the car. Just before we get there though I see Four Zeke Will and Uriah. I guess they're having a boy's night out. Well shit. I need to come up with a good cover story and soon but I don't have time.
They spot me and start to come over but I signal that I don't have time and I'll talk to them after. I think they get it.
Not a minute after I get into the car they are preparing to start and I see pretty much everybody running to the finish line. The woman waves the flag and we're off.
I increase speed rapidly and before I know it am in 5th gear. But the other guy is gaining on me quickly I do a couple of swerves hoping to make sure that he doesn't overtake me and when the finish line is in sight I press on the boost and cross the line before I know what's happening.
A few minutes after I get out of the car, I am handed a wad of money. I set it down on the bonnet of the car and start to spread it out between Maria, Jacob, Skater and I. Once I am done, we have $350 each! That's loads!
Some people come up to congratulate me and others to admire the car. Jacob said "I gues we'll b e coming next month!"
"Yeah"
Next thing I know the boys are coming over.
Crap.
i forgot that they were here! I guess that it's too late too late to hide. Uriah's the first too speak "congrats. Where d'ya learn to do that?"
"Place." They don't look convinced but seem to let it go.
"Well we're all heading home now, Four's dropping us off you need a ride?"-Uriah.
I think about it for a sec. "yeah just give me a sec ok?" He nods and I quickly go over and tell the others that they can go without me as I am getting a ride from the guys.
"ok Tris. See you tomorrow?" Maria asks.
"yeah."
-little time skip-
Once Four has dropped off Will and Uriah and Zeke, he pulls into his garage. "Hope you don't mind, it's just that we live next to each other so I just thought..." He trails off.
"I don't mind Four. See you tomorrow."
"Ok bye,"
"bye."
Then I walk into my house and collapse onto my bed.
The next few days at school go ok. The same old thing I guess. The guys didn't mention anything about the race. THANK GOD FOR THAT! Either they were completely drunk and don't remember or they just don't mention it. Either way I'm happy. But I get this creepy feeling that they're keeping it a secret for a reason. Like they're going to use it against me. But they're my friends. They would never do that to me. Right?
Anyways at the moment it's Friday and I'm waiting on the steps of the school for the rest of them with my overnight bag and an Abuundance of alcohol. They have bout five minutes let so I guess that I'll be waiting here for a while. But as if right on que Caleb shows up. I mean I just had one of the best weeks of my life and he has to ruin it!
No Tris. Just relax. Don't let him get to you. He can't ruin your week. You won't let him. Got it!
"Oh look it's Beatrice."
" Please.. Caleb. You knew I was here"
" You're right. I did. " He pauses." I just wanted to remind you that you can't come back to the house tonight. I'm having some friends over."
"Well I'm going to a friend's house anyways"
"Listen to me Beatrice. You are nothing. Even if those people are your friends, they won't be for long so I wouldn't even bother. Got it?"
I want to hit him so badly, but our parent's wouldn't get it. They wouldn't get that he was provoking me. They would take his side.
"Got. It?!" He's getting irritated now.
"Yeah" I say. Defeated.
Then he stalks off. About three minutes later they all come out.
"took ya long enough." We all walk out to the car park and I hop in Christina's BMW like we had planned and with that we were on our way to the Pedrad's. When we get there, I see something that makes my stomach drop...
Ohh mini cliff hanger. Well school's finally finished for summer. Yay! Although I do only have 4 weeks. -I know- I will try to update at least twice to 4 times depending. Maybe one a week!
Please review and give me ideas for where this story could go! I am getting kinda stuck for a plot here!
Anyways I will try to update next week.
