Tobias POV
Do you know that feeling you get when you see that one person and you can't help but smile? That's how I feel right now as I hold Tris' hand while walking down the hallway of the school. The purple lockers are lined on the sides with people hanging onto their swinging doors. I can't help but smile as girls turn to look at us, but roll their eyes and look away. Girls are usually throwing themselves at me, but now that Tris is latched onto my arm, they stay away. Tris has saved me.
When we get to Music, I sit with Uriah on my left and Tris on my right. The teacher begins to ramble about a talent show that our school is going to be having in a few weeks. I guess it is required for our class to participate in it by either singing or playing an instrument. Me and Uri have decided to sing, and I heard Tris saying that she wants to play a classical piano song. She is an amazing pianist. When she plays, she moves her body to the music and the notes are played with delicacy. I don't realize that I'm staring at Tris who is standing in a group of girls until Uriah snaps his fingers in front of my face.
"You've got it bad," he says as he slumps in his chair.
"What?"
"You really like her, man. I don't even think you realize how bad this is." I really am crazy for Tris. I mean, we were best friends when we were little and I did have a HUGE crush on her, but I never told her. She started hating me in seventh grade, and I don't even know why. I don't know what I did to make her hate me so much. I never hated her. In fact, half my heart has always belonged to Beatrice Prior. I can't believe I am saying this...
I hang my head and slam forehead into the desk. Uriah is completely right.
"Uriah, you fat lard. I think you're right. I really like Tris." I slam my head on the desk multiple times.
"Why don't you just stop?"
"Uriah. Don't you think I would if I could? I have liked her for a really long time, and I don't think I'll ever be able to stop. I have liked her since I laid eyes on her all those years ago. Her blond hair hung at her shoulders all curly and a grin was plastered on her pale skin. Uriah, I have loved Tris for ten years. Ten. Let that sink in," I say.
"Ten!? Bro. You are completely insane. Have you even kissed someone?"
"Only Tris. I would never kiss someone that I wasn't crazy for."
"Is the almighty Four actually soft?" he asks.
"Me? I'd never! I'm still the tough, sports-loving, beer-drinking, reckless guy you've always known."
I slug him in the shoulder and begin to scroll through the music on my iPod. I find a song that I like in particular that is perfect for me and Uriah considering we both like our girlfriends a lot. The first type of music I ever learned to play was country, so I pick the song that I first learned on the guitar when I was eleven.
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
I wanna ride across West Virginia
In the back seat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs rain
I need you like a lighthouse on a coast
Like the Father and the Son need the Holy Ghost
I need you
I wanna get lost in some corner booth
Cantina Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an AM radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us
Lay beside you skin on skin
Make love 'til the sun comes up
'Til the sun goes down again
'Cause I need you like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs the rain
I need you like a lighthouse on a coast
Like the Father and the Son need the Holy Ghost
I need you, oh, I need you
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you, oh, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you, too
Uriah agrees, but since he only sings, I'll have to do the guitar part. I have the worst stage fright, and when I play guitar while shaking I tend to mess up. Uriah already knows this, but he just pushes it aside.
I show the teacher which song we will be doing and she prints out the sheet music for us. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Tris walk out of the classroom, so I follow her into the other music classroom that is empty. She sits down at the white piano and begins to lightly tap the keys. Notes ring out quietly; I automatically know what song it is. Her voice starts to sing the song Iris. Her eyebrows are in a fine line across her face as she concentrates on playing.
"Tris?" I say slowly.
"What?" she asks, turning toward me.
"Can I tell you a secret?" She nods.
"I have loved you for ten years. I loved you from the moment I saw you when we were kids. Tris. I love you..." I say, trailing off. She grabs my face and kisses me softly.
"I love you too."
Alright guys! Here's another chapter! I hope you enjoy! The song is called I NEED YOU. If you can find out who sings it, you get a surprise! I love you all! Review everyone!
