So guys… It's here! Chapter 5! I was thinking about how long this story was going to last… And I was considering to atleast 30 chapters, that all depends on how much time and space of my plans I can fill into each chapter, so yeah! And there was questions about what time sequence this is, and as you can tell I have been writing the date of the time in Tris's diary and Tobias's notes and it's currently August 22nd 2012.
Mine
Chapter 5
Sometimes you need to do the most daring things in life, you never know what you're missing out on.
-Me (Unless someone else said that before…)
Zeke and I snuck out of the building, walking in the direction of the Postal office. I had my bag filled with the letters and the small box that held the present for Tris.
"So you do realize we can get like… Executed for doing something like this." Zeke said, trying to talk me out of it.
"That's a chance I'm willing to take." I said, picking up my pace.
"What if it's a chance I'm not willing to take?" He asked, staring at me, frowning.
"I never said you HAD to come." I replied.
"Well, I didn't want you to do this alone, it's not like you can pull yourself up on those trains alone, we're partners in crime." Zeke smiled, "Want to race? See who can get to the nearest train first?" He stopped, staring at me.
"What are we kids?" I said, stopping, to face him.
"Let's make a bet… If I win, then you need to do all of my jobs that are assigned to me." His smile grew.
"And if I win, then you need to stop bugging me on writing letters to Tris." I said.
"Deal." We both said, as we sprinted.
I hadn't realized how far away the nearest train was until we got there, Zeke tripped several times on the way so I, of course won. "You should of told me it was a 20 minute run before we started." I said, as he stopped, standing next to me.
"Well I was better at running distances so I thought I would've won." He frowned, "So anyways do you have enough energy to hoist yourself up on the train?" He asked, staring in the direction of an on-coming train.
"The better question is, do you?" I asked. The train approached us, as we both got in the stance to hop on, once we did, we were completely out of breath. We were in one of the last boxes in the back.
"Who knew we could get so easily tired from hopping on a train." Zeke huffed, lying by the corner, in the cold dark, "I need to lie down."
"Well don't get comfortable, we're heading South, if we stay on any longer than 4 minutes we'll be heading who knows where." I said, it was still dark out, so no one will see us, for now.
"Four, come on, I'm not the same I used to be back when we were training to join Dauntless." Zeke coughed.
"Zeke, it's only been two years, man up."
"So when should we get going?" He asked.
"I say, we should hop off… Right about… Now." I said, backing up, and bursting threw the old box door. I landed on my side, in a bunch of rubble and sand.
"Hey! Wait for me!" I heard Zeke yell, jumping off right behind me. He landed on his feet, laughing when he saw the position I was in, "Four, I thought you were at least decent at jumping off trains, this proves me wrong.
I couldn't speak, I just laid there, shaking, "Four? Are you okay?
It's still the same day, and I'm sitting here, on the hood of the van, while Uriah, Will, and Al set up the tents, and Marlene, Christiana, and Lauren unpack all of the equipment and food, and Peter, is being useless and walking around. Marlene told me I didn't have to do anything, since it was my birthday, but I still offered to help but they refused. So here I am… On a car… Alone…
-Tris Prior
"Hi Tris." Peter smiled, walking up to me.
"What do you want Peter?" I frowned, Setting down my diary.
"Can I ask you a question?" He asked, Leaning against the car.
"Doesn't mean I'm going to answer." I said. He chuckled.
"I was wondering why you hated me so much?" He said, stopping the annoying laugh and becoming serious.
"So many reasons Peter, How about one, you tried to kill me!" I said, getting ready to jump off the van, and run away from him.
"Well we all would do anything to become first, may I ask what you have done to become first? Maybe, have a 'relationship' with the mentor, right before the final scores where scored you were lacking behind Tris, so you had to do what you had to do. And, also, almost kill Will, does that ring a bell?" He grinned, stopping me in my tracks.
"How did you know about me almost killing Will? He was under a trance, AND he tried to kill me! And that was completely AFTER I was announced first." I spat, walking away.
"Hey, Tris, Listen! I'm sorry!" He smiled, walking in the other direction.
"What did Peter want?" Christiana asked, as I walked up to her.
"He was just being rude, as usual." I frowned, wanting to get the thought of Peter out of my head.
"So what's up with you and Uriah?" Marlene asked, which was another man I wanted to get out of my head.
"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to cover my smile up.
"You two are totally being awkward, did something happen?" Christiana said.
"No, nothing happened." I answered.
"So… Did you get anything from Four?" Lauren asked, which was the third man I wanted to get out of my head.
"Why do you guys keep asking me about my guy troubles? Can you seriously stop! It's my business and not yours!" I stormed away, why do they keep asking me about all of this? It's not like there isn't better gossip… To gossip about…
"So does that mean she got a letter from him?" Lauren asked, confused.
"Totally." Christiana replied.
"You guys think so?" Marlene joined in.
I sat in my tent, hearing the water from the waterfall fall down into the lake, I just sat there… Listening to the outdoors.
"Hey Tris, Can I come in?" I heard Uriah ask, outside the tent.
"Oh sure." I said, zipping open the tent so he can enter.
"So why did you storm off from the girls earlier?" He asked, once he got comfortable in the tent.
"Well why have you been ignoring me?" I frowned, trying not to make eye contact.
"Tris, you think I've been ignoring you?" He grinned, amused by my question.
"Stop it Uriah, I know you're trying your best to stay away from me, just tell me why."
"I know Four just left, and I don't want to be your rebound or whatever, and I feel like you just want to be… Around someone, and I was just… There." I said, his smile fading away.
"Uriah, I know To- Four just left, and yes, I've been sad. But I learned, I want to move on. I want to move on to you." At that moment, I didn't think, again. Uriah's lips moved to mine, and lasted in a kiss for several seconds. "Calm down." I smiled, breaking away from the cliff.
"Sorry." He laughed, tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Want to know what I want to do?" I asked, biting my lip, and smiling.
"What?"
"Go cliff jumping."
So I know this isn't the best chapter ever… But I have like… Major writers block and I just wanted to get the chapter out, I may re-do the chapter or just continue on with chapter 6, but… Here it is. Message me with any idea's and review for thoughts, idea's, etc. I hoped you liked it!
