Hey I'm sorry. I know that I said that I would try to update every week but I am hopeful that I will update twice this week! Btw please give me new ideas! On with the story.
Susan and Robert that's who I see. Before we moved here, we used to be neighbours and Susan my best friend. My heart rate speeds up drastically and I feel like I'm gonna have a panic attack. Christina hasn't noticed...yet. Thank god.
As we pull up I hesitantly walk to to them.
"what are you guys doing here" I say politely.
Zeke answers."oh I met Robert at camp a couple of summers ago and they were in Chicago and I said that they could come over." Then he looks at me weirdly. "Why? Do you know them?"
"Umm.. Yeah we used to be neighbours that's all."
"Ok" Zeke replies.
-time skip to when they are setting up for games-
We are all just pushing the sofa's out of the way so that we can all sit in a circle on the floor for games. God how I hope that they are drinking games. I don' think that I'll be able to make it through the night without alcohol. Wait I brought the alcohol with me so there must be drinking games otherwise it's just a waste.
With this thought I relax a little but not for long when Susan walks up to me.go away I don't want to talk to you. Please go away please...
But,of course, no such luck.
She comes up to me and innocently twirls her hair with her finger and sweetly smiles. This is what anyone else would see. To me I see her twisting her hair like she's trying to figure something out. That's what she always did in math class the one that she struggled with. I see her lips curling like she's finally figured it out. I think that she forgets.. A long time ago... We used to be best friends.
Inseprable.
Once upon a time.
"hey. Tris is it now?" She looks genuinely confused. So I answer politely hoping that this will be the only reason that she wants to talk.
"Yeah it is Susan."
"why?" Oh god here she goes. She's always been like Caleb this way. Once she asks one question and isn't satisfied by the answer, a hundred more follow.
"Oh it's just a nickname that I go by now short for-"
"Beatrice." She finishes for me. "I know."
"you know Tris I really am sorry for what I did." I look at her trying to figure out if this is just part of a plan." And just so that you know, I didn't want to come here. Robert said something bout there being a Tris here that he had to see and I didn't put two and two together."
"then why didn't you stay in the hotel with your parents or go to a coffee shop or something."
"Our parents are on a date and they practically ordered me to go with Robert so they would know if I didn't. I wish our school started at the same time as your new one.' Shit I forgot that their school (my old one) finishes for summer later so they start back two weeks later too. I know it's quite weird.
"Oh yeah I forgot that the school over there starts later." Somehow she dosenn't look competent convinced. Just as she opens her mouth to ask another question.
"Right everybody in a circle." Zeke announce/orders. And we all form a sort of circle on the floor. "So we're going to start with truth or dare and then never have I ever will either be tonight or tomorrow owning depending on how long truth or dare goes on for. Who knows, maybe both." He says with a mischievous grin.
Before we start Uriah cuts in. "The penalty for truth or dare is taking off an artical of clothing. -NO SHOES OR SOCKS!" He basically screams. "And never have I ever will be normal alcohol curtesy of Trissy."
'Don't you ever call me that again Uriah!" I say dead seriously.
I am currently positioned beteen Christina and Uriah so when he shouts "I'll
start!" He practically bursts my ear drum.
"Zeke, truth or dare?" He asks.
"Dare! When have you ever known me to pick truth?"
"ok I dare you to..." Uriah trails off like he's thinking. "I dare you to run around this part of the neighbourhood screaming the pink fluffy unicorn song and you have to do it dressed like a unicorn!"
"ok!" And with that Zeke rushes off into his room and emerges wearing a unicorn outfit. If I didn't know Zeke I would wonder where he got that from and why it was just lying around n his room but if he didn't I guess that would be just as shocking. He then proceeds to do his dare and by the end we're all in stitches.
i blank out for a few rounds until I hear my name. "Tris truth or dare"
"ummmm... Dare"
"ok then" Christina says. "I dare you to let me give you a makeover." Well that's not the worst dare that she could have given me. I guess that it's not worth taking off a piece of clothing for. So I agree.
Christina then takes me into another room and pokes me for what seems like hours. After she's done though I look good I guess. When I look in the mirror I see that she's used foundation and highlighted my cheekbones, a monkey eye look that brings out my blue grey eyes and minimal blush.
"You like?" She asks like she already knows what I'm gonna say.
"yeah."
when we go back into the room, I see the time on the clock that is hanging above the t.v. She took 1 and a half hours!
I stare at her an d if looks could kill...
-page break-
After a couple more hours of prank calls, absurd dares and Uriah drinking toilet water we decide to call it a night. I am happy to say that I have avoided Robert all day. Well all night I guess. I don't know if I hate him more than Caleb or if it is the other way around. You see he's like the double of Caleb and was his best friend. So that's what else is weird. He knows that Caleb lives here in Chicago now but instead of going to hang out with him and his friends at the house he comes here to hang out with some one who he met from summer camp? It just doesn't add up.
you may be wondering why I don't like Susan either. She was my best friend and I confided in her about almost everything. Almost. Well I knew that she always liked Caleb but that didn't mean that she had to go behind my back to be with him. I found them all cuddled up on the sofa making out and watching a movie.
They thought that I was at the library but I had decided to com back early to practise for music,, high as the next day. It wasn't the fact that it happened, but it was the fact that Susan lied about it. She said that she was ill! Ned like a fool I believe bed her. Normally I uldn't hold a grudge, but she knew about Caleb and lied to me! LIED! BEST friend aren't supposed to lie!
Robert announces that he and Susan are leaving an Zeke walks them to the door. When he comes back he do something that I never saw coming.
""What the hell was that Tris!?"
"what do you mean Zeke?" I ask trying to remain calm.
''You basically blanked Robert all night and only talked to Susan once! What are you jelious or something?"
"Do you reall think that I could b e jelious of them?"
"I don't know what to think anymore! Why don't you explain? What the hell happened beteen all of you?"
now I'm mad. "First you accuse me of being jelious of them and then you ask me to explain. You don't know what happened with them and you have no right to!" I can feel myself becoming madder by the second. Susan didn't just go behind my back and snog my brother from hell, but she betrayed me too. Not only with that, but later I found out that she had been telling Caleb about everything that I had confided in her with. And that was a real bitch move.
But of course I can't tell any of them that.
""Fine, if you don't want to tell us then get out!"
""Zeke!" Christina squeaks."you don't have any right to do tat. It's her choice if she doesn't ant to tell us"
"no honestly. Christina it's fine. I have places to be anyways. I'll see you at school on Monday." With that I grab my bag and walk out. the door and I don't look back. I know that I can't go home because Caleb. Has his 'friends' round so there's only one place that. I am able. To go
I hop onto the. Next passing bus and grab a seat. Near the back.. But not the very back. For some weird reason,, I don't like that..
The bus starts to move so I pull out my phone and see that I have loads of missed calls and a few messages. Most of them are from Christina,a few from the others and one from Zeke. I decide to ignore them for now and take a look at them tomorrow. For now though, I just look out the window and watch a dark Chicago wiz past
Time skip I know another one?
As I enter the Pit I feel myself slowly start to relax. This is where I belong nowhere else. Here.
I decide to go to a bar which is located on the shopping floor . It's where I go to get a little bit of quiet and anyways, it's never really busy on Fridays. .
When I enter the bar the smell of cheep whiskey and musky aftershave hits me. It always does but it never bothers me. As I look around I see the usual man who always sits in the corner and the woman who is constantly eating the crazy, cheep burgers that they have here.
The barman aknowlages my presence and I sit at a stool which is positioned at the very end of the bar.
Four pov(are you supprised)
I feel so horrible for Tris. She just left. In the middle of the night! What was Zeke thinking. I mean he's my beat friend and all but he didn't have to go that far.
"hey man" he says as he pats my shoulder.
'hey"
"I just wanted everybody to get along and I invited Robert but I didn't think that he'd actually show up."
"it'll be fine Zeke. But they and Tris obviously have a past; I don't think that it was our place to intrude"
"well I always know who to come to to feel good don't I?" He says with a hint of sarcasm.
""Do you think that we should try and find her?"I ask..
"yeah.."
Zeke,, Uriah. Andy I hop into. My car and we start towards Tris' house...
