Chapter 4

That weekend

Zeke and Uriah are throwing a party since everyone made the team they wanted. Christina and the girls are going to be over soon since apparently I can't dress myself, or maybe they think I'm their own personal lifesize barbie doll.

I get the door after I hear the rapid knocking the can only be Christina. "Hey"

They plow through me, Christina's shouting orders of what to put where. They set up a makeup bar in my living room, hair salon in the bathroom, and throw their clothes in my room. Christina tells me to go take a shower and to be sure to wash with this shampoo first and that one second. Ugh why can't we just relax.

Once I'm done Shauna is doing Marlene's hair and Christina her own. I sit on the couch waiting to be ordered around.

"So Tris, what's with you and Four? You guys seem to have been getting cozy" Shauna teases.

"Nothing, we just have a lot of classes together where we sit by each other."

"Sure" Marlene pulls out the word knowingly. "But, where have you guys been disappearing to during lunch."

"Nothing important I go this spot in the woods which apparently he found so now we meet there and just help each other with homework or hang out"

"Awww that's so cute! You guys have a special spot" They exclaim

"Speaking of lunch, what happened between you and Peter that your personality completely changed on Monday?" Christina inquired.

I tensed. "I'm sorry. Too much bad memories just please don't make me talk about it" I started shaking.

"It's ok. If you ever need to talk we're here" Shauna came over and hugged me to calm me down. It didn't help though. I pulled away asking to have a minute before we start.

I walked to the bathroom and hugged my knees. Gross stuff? Green eyes, best friend betrayal. There are some happy memories I admit with Peter but that was so often it blurred behind the bad. I remember thinking he was that one friend to last a lifetime. But he ruined me there's no going back.

I calmed myself enough, when I walk back I hear them talking.

"Maybe he was an ex-boyfriend, or I don't know. What could have been so traumatizing?" Shauna said.

"I don't know and I don't care. She'll tell us when she's ready." Marlene advised, "whatever it was is her business, we just have to support her through this year and maybe next depending how he acts"

Thank God for Marlene, I never felt like I had such a true friend until now. I walk in and sit in front of Christina so she can do my hair. She starts without question. Our conversation goes on like nothing happened.

Page break

Christina put me in a dark blue halter lower, than I like, cut. It had a black belt and a pencil skirt to just above my knee, with an open back. Christina is in a red tube dress with cuts in the sides and the skirt stops at mid thigh, a lot more revealing than I like but she pulls it off. Shauna is in a black sun dress with a handkerchief skirt and a red belt. Marlene is in a white one shoulder tube dress with a beaded belt. We all look fabulous.

"Will, Uriah and Zeke are going to die when they see you guys!" I exclaim.

"Not as much as Four will be bug eyed." Shauna complements while poking me.

"Either way let's go" I say since there's no point arguing.

We're about two blocks away when we start hearing the party. How big could they have gone? When we get there, the whole yard is cover with teenagers.

We walk in and the whole room is fill with drunk grinding teenagers, and we have to get to the kitchen, help. We find the boys in the basement on the couch. Four looks relaxed and happy, that's a first. When they see us they stop what they're doing jaws dropped staring at us.

I blush when I realize Four is only looking at me. I go to sit by him.

"Hi" I whisper.

He snaps out of it. "Uh.. H-hey"

"Geez Four can you act human." Zeke teases and gives a knowing look. I wonder why.

"You're right I better otherwise you'll be scared." He counters.

"Take that back!" Zeke gasps.

"So Tris I was wondering if you wanted to train for goal together" Four turns his attention back to me.

"Sure"

"Hey who wants to play truth or dare?" Marlene asks.

"ME!" Uriah jumps up excitedly.

The rest of us nod.

"Ok rules are take piece of clothing of if you deny the truth or dare. Who starts?" Zeke explains. Thank Christina for letting me wear shorts under my dress.

"Oo-oo! ME! Pick me!" Uriah dances like a toddler.

"Ok Uriah" Marlene calms him.

"Yay! Zeke truth or dare, my brother?" Uriah starts.

"Dare"

"I dare you to go upstairs and tell everyone you volunteer, then try crowd surfing."

"You're on!"

Shauna, Uriah and Zeke go upstairs. We hear a faint "I volunteer!" Then a loud thud. Uriah and Shauna come down laughing their butts off, while Zeke is trying to catch his breath and is rubbing his head.

"He jumped off the stairs and everyone took a step back" Uriah explains.

"Ok Four truth or dare" Zeke asks

"Truth"

"Who do you like?"

Four hesitates looking at his shirt, not wanting to be the first one. "Tris"

"I knew it!" Zeke and Christina exclaim.

I look down not wanting to deal with their stares. Is he serious? I'm blushing when I realize Christina would have pointed out his lie.

"Whatever" Four looks for his victim, he stops on Christina. "Truth or dare?"

"D-truth" Christina stutters. I agree Four seems to unpredictable to trust his dares.

"What's your worst fear?"

Christina shivers and mumbles something.

"What was that?" Uriah presses.

"MOTHS!"

We all start laughing. Once we're calmed. Christina stares at me.

"Truth or dare Tris?" She asks.

I can't pick truth because she'll ask about Peter, any dare is better than that. "Dare"

"Kiss the person you like."

I look at my dress. Is admitting to Four I like him worth taking my dress off? Then I think about his truth he answered, he likes me. There's no point in being scared. I get up cautiously, keeping eye contact with Four. I walk over, and kiss him. His lips are softer than I imagined, just as I'm about to pull away I feel him grab the back of my neck to hold me in place. Our lips move in sync until we hear a throat clear behind us. He gives me one more small peck and lets me go. I smile at him and he smirks back.

Our friends look shocked at what they just witnessed. I feel colder than I did before I kissed Four. Weird.

"Shauna, t or d?"

"D"

"Seven minutes in heaven with Zeke"

She gets up and goes to the closet, Zeke follows and mouths 'thank you' to me. They close the door.

"Let's continue for the seven minutes, I'll start again." Uriah says. "Tris truth or dare"

"Dare"

"Go upstairs and kiss the first person you make eye contact with"

I shrug. Four look pissed, but I would be too, even though we're not official yet. All of them follow me up.

I look up hoping for some random guy I don't know instead of someone I hate. I see green eyes first.

Peter. Shit.

So I think I should clarify that all the characters are juniors. Thanks for reading reveiw any ideas you want me to incorporate.

Thanks
