Promised I would update again soooo here:)
Chapter 5
When Four left my mom called me for dinner. Of course it was just plain food, my parents aren't too big on extravagance. They're perfectly selfless. I knew my mom was going to ask me a million questions. As if on que, she says,
"Beatrice, honey, how was your first day of school? Did you make any friends?"
"It was pretty good, I made some friends too." I tell her.
"How about you, Caleb?" My father asks.
"Oh it was amazing! Our science teacher " Caleb starts rambling. I tune out and pick at my peas. After I get ready for bed, not dreading school anymore.
The next day...
My classes flew by today. The only classes I actually payed attention to were French and art. Christina told me at lunch she would pick me up after school to go to the mall. I didn't want to cancel with Four, so I told him I would come to his house after. How long could shopping take? He looked worried at first but he didn't say anything. Just nodded. I had no idea that Four was such an amazing artist. We were thinking of symbol ideas and he drew these beautiful ones. I don't think anyone else knows either, though. I met Christina by her locker and we got in her car.
"Oh yeah Tris! How was Starbucks?" She says wiggling her eyebrows. Oh gosh that's embarrassing. I try to end the conversation quickly.
"Well Four said his name was Batman and uh..you can figure out the rest..." I say. She laughs.
"Really? That's not really something he would do. But anyways, nothing else happened?" She says getting disappointed.
"No nothing at all, Christina."
"Fine," she huffs. Thankfully she drops it. We get to the mall and she gets this evil look on her face. I don't think I want to, but I have a feeling that I'm going to find out what that's about.
"I can't believe you agreed to go shopping with me. I take the saying 'shop till' you drop' literally," she says. Oh no.
"Well I have to meet Four at his house in an hour so..." Suddenly her face lights up.
"EEEEKK! I mean uh-why?" She squeals.
"We have a project together calm down" I say laughing slightly. Her face goes from excited to disappointed...to excited again.
"Who cares?! WE NEED TO FIND YOU SOMETHING TO WEAR!" She screams. Ugh. This will not be fun.
14 stores later...
"Christina. We've been shopping forever! What's the big deal? Can't I just wear this?" I say exhausted.
"Oh fine. But you are still wearing the things you bought. You will wear them even if I have to dress you myself," she says with a smirk on her face.
"But they're so...girly," I say disgusted.
"Well Tris. In case you haven't noticed...you are in fact a girl," She says smiling. She then drags me to the car. I ask her to drop me off at Four's since she knows his address.
"Thanks Chris!" I say when I get out of the car.
"No problem! CALL ME AFTER!" Which she couldn't have said any louder by the way. I knock on the door and Four answers right away.
"Oh hey Tris!" He says.
"Hey," I say back. "So where are we working?"
"Is my room okay?"
"Yup," I say. "I loved the symbols you drew, now we just have to make them bigger." We get started right away. He already sketched them out and I painted them. I don't know how he came up with these. For kind, it's a tree. For selfless, it's two joining hands. For honest, it's a scale. For intelligent, it's an eye. And my favorite is the flames for brave.
"Well, we're done, what do you want to do?" He asks. We just ended up talking and laughing. Somehow it always comes back to us staring into each other's eyes. "So Tris?" He grins. I can't focus, the dark blue puts me in a trance every time. Snap out of it Tris, he'll never like you!
"So," I grin back. Neither of us stop, but this time he starts to lean in. Our faces are inches away. Oh my god is this really happening. Centimeters. It is! Millimeters.
"TOBIIAAAAAAAAS!" I hear a voice roar.
CLIFFHANGER! I had you there for a second didn't I? I will be updating soon!~DivergentFOURever
