Chapter 3: Boys vs. Girls
Tris' POV
We follow Tobias outside to the train and we see Zeke with Shauna, Marlene, and Uriah. Something is up this is our group from last night.
"What's going on Zeke?" Uriah whines as he squints. He must still be hung-over. Me too, buddy, me too. For some reason Zeke seems fine, either he didn't drink as much as we did or he is just more use to it, probably the latter.
"PANSYCAKE!" Zeke yells.
"What? No!" Uriah shouts back with confusion.
I cringe at the noise they are making.
"Train will be here in a minute." Tobias says.
That's when I realize that Zeke and Tobias each have a bag of equipment, meaning they planned something together.
"Do you know what's going on?" Marlene asks me in a whisper.
"Not a clue. How did Zeke get you guys out here?" I ask.
"Said that we were in trouble so we had extra training, but he wouldn't tell us what we did." Marlene whispers to Christina and me.
"Suspicious." I mutter and look towards Tobias.
"Let's go!" Tobias says as the train comes.
I groan as I move closer to the track.
Zeke, Uriah, Shauna, and Marlene get on first in the third door from the back. Will and Christina get in the second door from the back while Tobias throws the bag in the last door before jumping on the side of the train. I'm still running when he sweeps me up with one arm. I am out of breath from running and the unexpected contact with Tobias. "I would have made it." I managed to say as he puts me inside.
He just smirks. I lean against the wall beside him trying to control any urge to throw up.
"You aren't going to throw up again, are you?" Will asks with a grin.
"I hope not." I say and Will backs away.
Tobias looks at me with a concerned look that only I recognize, but then turns to the group. "Ok, guys. You aren't in trouble we were just messing with you. We are playing..." Tobias starts.
"PAINTBALL!" Zeke interrupts.
"ZEKE!" I yell. "Stop yelling." I say as I slide down to the floor.
Zeke just grins while the rest of them just chuckle at me.
"Wait so all of that was just a joke?" Will asks. His hair is still messed up from sleeping.
"Yep!" Zeke says, thankfully a little quieter.
"So we are just playing paintball?" I ask. "What's the object of the game?"
"Kill the other team!" Zeke exclaims as he claps his hands together evilly.
I roll my eyes at his excitement, but smile anyway. "We are going to play it like capture the flag. Ok. What are the teams going to be?" Tobias asks.
By this point, Uriah has joined to me on the floor.
"Boys vs. Girls!" Zeke yells.
I see Uriah cringe beside me and I totally feel his pain, literally. Zeke's voice pierces throw the air like a knife.
"What? Seriously." Shauna groans.
"Wait come here," I say to the girls motioning them towards me while I push Uriah away. "Away, Uriah!"
"This could be to our advantage. We make smaller targets and we are faster." I whisper thinking of Tobias' strategy in our previous capture the flag game.
"Ok!" Shauna says and the girls break away from me. "We will do it." Shauna says to the boys.
"Ok, let's make this a little more interesting, shall we?" Zeke says as he puts his hands up together like he came up with a crazy idea - well he did, obviously. "If we win you girls will have to do whatever we say for the rest of today and tomorrow."
"And we can throw pies in your faces!" Uriah yells out and smirks at me probably for pushing him away.
"Heck no!" Shauna yells.
"But if we win it's the other way around!" I cut in.
"If you win." Tobias scoffs then gives a little cocky smile. I can't let him win. I glare at him.
"Deal." Zeke says and puts a hand out for me to shake.
"Deal." I say with a sly grin.
The girls look at me like I am crazy. "Don't worry, we'll win." I say confidently.
"Ha! We'll see about that!" Will says.
"I hope you guys like chocolate pie!" Zeke says. Tobias smirks.
I roll my eyes. Boys. They are so going to lose!
"Hey, we will even let you guys get off second." Tobias says.
"You don't need to give us any favors." I say. "We can beat you without them." I add with a smirk of my own.
"Yeah, then you have nothing to blame it on when you lose!" Christina says confidently.
"Ok, then you can get off first." Tobias says with another smirk, looking right at me.
"Perfect." I say with a cocky smile.
It takes about five minutes to get to the place where we will get off so I just stay on the floor and close my eyes.
"Tris. Wake up. We are almost there." Christina says as she shakes me awake.
"What?" I whine.
"Remember the game?" Christina says as she stands up in front of me. "Come on, we have to win!"
I stare at her for a moment. "Oh yeah." I finally say and she looks at me like you better pulled it together or else.
I look across from me to see that Tobias is looking at me with an amused smile.
"Tris!" Christina yells.
"What?" I snap. This headache is doing nothing for my mood.
"You need to get up. We are about to jump off." Christina says while giving another one of her looks.
"Oh." I say before getting up and get ready to jump.
"Hey, Tris you may want to take a paintball gun." Tobias says with a smirk.
"Right." I can't believe I almost jumped off the train without one.
"Um Tris, it would help if you brought some paintballs with you too. But if you don't want to you don't have to." Tobias adds.
I groan, I'm so out of it. I need to get in the game, but my head and body are running so slowly. Next thing I know, Christina is dragging me over to the door. "Oh my goodness, you really need to wake up." Christina says, but smiles. I hear a chuckle from Tobias before we jump out, right after Marlene and Shauna jumped out.
"Okay. We need a plan. There's no way we can let them win!" I say feeling a little more awake.
"Where should we hide the flag?" Shauna asks. "The Ferris wheel or the carousal?"
"How about the Ferris wheel, but up high on one the seats?" I say.
"That's good with me." Marlene says and the other girls nod.
We run to the Ferris wheel and they volunteer me to go put the flag up since it was my idea. It's not as fun without Tobias, but it is going to be great when I beat him. I can't imagine what they would make us do, especially Zeke, that one is crazy!
I get up to the middle of the Ferris wheel and then make my way over to one of the seats so that I can tie the flag on one of the poles. I look to see if I can see the boys' flag and notice it at the end of the pier, so predictable. Same place that Eric's team put it during the game we had with all the initiates, in the park at the end of the pier. "Gotcha!"
Ok, now I just have to get down. Last time, instead of climbing down, I went for a ride to the bottom. I smile as I think of my last time up here, but a gust of wind unbalances me for a second. I somehow manage to regain my balance and let out the breath I hadn't realized I had been holding. That was close. Ok, I need to get down.
It isn't as easy to climb down, as it is to climb up. I manage to make it make down to the middle without any other scares. Just the ladder now.
"I found their flag! It's at the park at the end of the pier." I say as I reach the bottom.
"Perfect! We should split up. Two here to protect the flag and two to get their flag." Shauna says.
"Good! Who wants to go where?" Marlene asks.
"Christina and Marlene, stay here. Tris and I can get the flag." Shauna says.
"Ok, let's go Shauna." I say then turn to the other girls. "Guard it with your life!" I say seriously.
"Oh we will!" Christina says as she gets her paintball gun ready.
Tobias' POV
"It's either going to be at the carousal or Ferris wheel. I say we send two there and two stay here." I say.
"Good idea. Uriah and Will go find the flag. Four and I will guard the our flag." Zeke says. "And men, don't leave any survivors." He adds which caused me to crack a smile. I love how into this he is.
Uriah salutes his brother before they run off to the Ferris wheel and carousel. I shake my head. Uriah is almost as crazy as his brother. Almost. "So we are leaving it up to those two to get the flag?" I ask after they leave.
"Yep. Don't worry they can do it and we will destroy anyone who comes near this flag." Zeke says seriously.
"Who do you think they will send to get the flag?" I ask. I'm pretty sure I know Tris will be coming.
"Shauna will want to come to get it and I bet Tris will come too. That's why I wanted to be here so I can shot her down!" Zeke explains.
"Well you'll get the chance because there is no way the girls are winning. No way." I say. We would never hear the end of it if they won. "We should hide and take them by surprise."
"Good idea, I'll go over here." He says and hides behind some nearby bushes.
I find a spot behind a group of rocks slightly in front of the flag. Tris is going down!
20 minutes later (Tris' POV)
"Ok, they are probably hiding. Be careful." I say as we come up to the park.
"I wish we had camouflage on." Shauna says. "This is going to get ugly, especially if Zeke is here."
"Yeah, maybe we will get lucky and he won't be here or Four." I say.
She nods and then we try our best to stay hidden, as we get closer to where we believe the flag is. I scan the area, but I don't see the boys. The flag however is about 20 feet away. Where would they hide? Where could they hide? There is a patch of bushes on one side and a group of rocks on the other. That's where they are. I start making my way around so that I will come out on the other side of the group of rocks and be able to catch them off guard.
I get to a good position behind a bush where I can see the tree with the flag in it and I'm about to shoot Tobias in the back when I see Shauna come out from her hiding spot to get shot down by both Tobias and I am guessing Zeke. "NO!" I scream and then slap my hand over my mouth before I make a dash towards the tree.
Tobias turns around and I dive behind a small group of rocks, but not before a paintball hits me. "No! No! No! I'm not dead yet!" I yell. I only got shot in the right shoulder, not a kill shot!
"Come on Tris! I hit you, you're out!" Tobias yells over to me.
"NEVER! I'M. NOT. DEAD. YET." I yell as I start to crawl closer to the tree. I can't lose. I can't lose. Another paintball hits my leg, geez those things hurt! I get up to make a run for the flag, but I get pelted with paintballs from both sides. "NOOOOOO!" I yell as the force of the paintballs makes me lose my balance and fall.
"I think she is dead now." Zeke says as he looks down at me with Tobias.
"Are you dead yet?" Tobias asks with a sly grin with his finger on the trigger ready to shot me again.
"Yes, geez. You don't have to shot me when I'm already down." I say with a scowl.
"So I guess this mean we win." Tobias says with a smirk as he looks at Zeke.
"Not necessarily. Marlene and Christina may have killed the other guys. The game isn't over yet!" I point to them from the ground. Paintballs hurt more than you think and I think I was just hit with twenty paintballs, at least that is what it feels like.
"Well we better go find out." Zeke says with excitement.
They start to turn to leave, but I don't move from my spot. "Aren't you coming?" Tobias asks with a grin.
"I'm dead, don't you remember?" I say sarcastically as I close my eyes. Something must have gone on between Zeke and Tobias because I hear a shot from Shauna at the same time that I find myself being flung over Tobias' shoulder. "Put me down!" I shout.
"Remember your dead?" Tobias says with a chuckle.
I sigh, but this is more contact with Tobias then I have had since this morning and I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it.
"So where did you guys hide your flag?" Zeke asks.
"Why would we tell you?" I say with a smirk.
"Because you already lost." Zeke says.
"You don't know that!" Shauna says with a glare at Zeke, although he couldn't see her face.
"Are you going to let me walk?" I ask.
"Dead people don't walk." Tobias responds and I can just imagine the smirk on his face.
I roll my eyes not that he could see me. I have a bad feeling that we lost, which means we lost the bet. I don't even want to think about that.
It doesn't take long before we reach the carousal and Ferris wheel. I see Christina from a far and it looks like she is still in the game. "Christina! Watch out!" I scream.
"Hey you're dead!" Tobias says as he hits my leg.
"Yeah no warning your team!" Zeke yells as he drops Shauna from his shoulder and takes his gun out.
Christina turns and starts firing her gun, but Zeke gets her first with about five shots to the chest.
"We win!" Zeke screams.
"You still haven't got the flag!" I yell to him, still slung over Tobias' shoulder.
"Oh how could we forget that." Tobias says with a chuckle.
"Uriah where is the flag?" Zeke yells.
"Hey, he can't tell you his dead!" I say.
Uriah points up at the Ferris wheel and I hear Tobias groan. "Seriously, you had to put it way up there!" He says and I chuckle (which ends out coming out sounding a little evil).
"Are you going to ever let me down?" I ask.
He just chuckles before letting me down and then walking over to the Ferris wheel. The girls come over to me as we watch Zeke and Tobias try to find the flag.
"Hey guys how many paintballs do you have left?" I whisper after a moment.
"Quite a few, why?" Christina asks.
"I think we need to fight back while we have a chance. I have tons of paintballs still." I say with a grin.
"I'm in!" Shauna says with a grin.
"Me too!" Marlene says.
"Ok, spread out! When they start bragging that they won, we pelt them with as many paintballs as we can!" I whisper to them before we spilt up.
"Seriously?" I say as I see that Tobias turned the Ferris wheel on instead of climbing it. I didn't even think about that.
They untie the flag and start coming towards us. "I guess this means we win." Zeke says with a grin.
"Now!" I yell and start pelting them with the paintballs, well more specifically pelting Tobias with the paintballs as the other girls shot the other boys.
"The game is over!" Zeke yells at us, but the boys take cover and get their paintball guns out and start shooting us.
"We still have paintballs left!" I yell back.
Then I get pelted with a couple of paintballs in quick succession. "We do too!" Tobias yells to me.
Then all hell breaks loose and we are shooting paintballs at each other like our life depended on it. Of course it is still boys vs. girls.
"Just give up, Uriah!" I hear Marlene yell at Uriah.
"NEVER! I'M NO PANSYCAKE!" Uriah yells back. I chuckle as I shoot Uriah at the same time Marlene does and then turn to shoot Tobias again.
Another couple of minutes goes by and Tobias is getting closer to me when I turn to shoot just to realize that I was out of paintballs. "Ohhhh, this is just not my day." I say through a whine as I am once again on the ground from the impact of the paintballs.
"Do you surrender?" He asks me in his instructor voice with a tiny smile that no one would actually know is a smile besides me.
I look around to see that Shauna, Marlene, and Christina are out of paintballs too and cornered by their men. This isn't OUR day.
"Admit we won." Tobias says when I don't respond.
I scowl. I don't like to admit defeat even when it is staring me in the face.
"Come on, Tris. We lost, just admit it." Christina says to me from 10 feet away.
"We aren't leaving until you do." Tobias says with a smirk, still in his instructor voice.
I roll my eyes and scowl. There really isn't a choice in the matter, but I do not want to admit to defeat. "Ugh. Ok. Ok. You guys win." I say and he smirks.
He stretches a hand out to help me up and I take it. By this moment, my black clothes are covered in colorful splatters of paint, I'm not sure if there is any black showing.
Tobias smiles at me and I can't help, but smile back as I hold his hand for a few more seconds before I let it go. Instantly, I miss his touch and can't wait until we are alone again. We all turn back toward the train tracks; hopefully we didn't miss the train because of our paintball war.
"Do you think they will forget about the pies?" Christina whispers to me as we make it to the tracks.
"Extremely doubt it. What I think we need to be more concerned about is what they are going to make us do seeing as we are their personal slaves for the rest of today and tomorrow." I whisper back with a cringe.
Christina gulps.
"Come on hurry guys. The train is coming." Tobias yells.
We all make a run for it and hop on the train. I slide down the wall and sit down holding the gun between my legs. Tobias sits down beside me as the rest of the group sits down as well.
"So we won..." Zeke starts gloating and I roll my eyes before closing them.
"We would have won if Tris had screamed when she saw you shot me down!" Shauna countered.
"Hey! I was worried for your life!" I say as I open my eyes.
"It was paintball game! You should have used the distraction to get the flag!" Shauna yells at me. Doesn't she realize I know this? I knew it the second the scream came out of my mouth.
"Wait we almost won?" Christina asks with a bewildered look on her face.
"Hardly." Tobias says with a smirk.
"I was just about to shot you in the back before Shauna went down, we would have won." I say confidently.
"You were going to shot me in the back, yet you were worried about Shauna!" He says with an amused look.
"She was on my team!" I defend myself.
"I think we need a rematch!" Christina yells.
"What? No! You guys lost!" Uriah yells.
"Yeah!" Zeke yells.
"It was practically a tie!" Shauna says.
"What? No, It wasn't. Zeke and I hadn't even been shot once we got your flag." Tobias says.
I close my eyes again and lean my head against the wall.
"Since Tris is the one who lost it for us, she should be the only one that has to fulfill the bet!" Shauna says.
"WHAT! NO! We lost together! We stick together!" I say sternly as I jerk my head up.
"You know, I don't care who takes the fall." Zeke says as he winks at Tobias.
"Yeah, come on Stiff." Tobias says and I turned to glare at him. "Plus the reason we are here is because of you anyway."
"That's true!" Christina says with a grin.
"And she is the one who made the deal with Zeke." Shauna added.
I then lean my head against the wall and close my eyes again. "This is not my day." I mutter.
Everyone starts to laugh and I can't help my lip from curling up to form a tiny smile. The sad thing is I would take it all on myself because I did lose it for us and it was because of me we played in the first place. And I made the deal without consenting with the other girls.
Tobias' POV
She would take it all on herself because that's the kind of girl she is, but that won't happen. Zeke is too excited to mess with all the girls.
I listen to the others talk for a while, but tune them out after another minute. I'm surprised when Tris's head falls against my arm. She must be exhausted for her to keep falling asleep like this. I smile to myself. I'm glad that it is dark out so that the others can't see how her head is on my shoulder.
We will make it back in time to catch the end of dinner, but we will have to hurry. Tris must be hungry since she hardly ate anything and then she threw it all up after.
She is so stubborn. That was clear today when she kept trying to get the flag and then when she wouldn't surrender. I smile as I look down at her. I can't wait till we don't have to hide our relationship from our friends. I want to kiss her forehead more than anything right now, but I can't chance anyone seeing us.
"FOUR!" Zeke yells.
"What?" I ask.
"I called your name like five times! We are almost back." Zeke says.
"Oh okay." I say. I hadn't realized we were already back, normally I more on top of things like this, but I was so lost in my thoughts about Tris that I totally lost track of time.
"Tris." I say as I shake her shoulder.
She lifts her head off my shoulder and I stand up. "What?" She asks with confusion.
"We are just about back." I say and then I give her a hand up, which she takes so I can help her up.
The others jump off and I grab Tris's hand right before we jump off. We hit the ground running and then run inside. She let's go of my hand right before we get inside and I see her give me a small smile. I smile back and wonder how in the world I had lived without her.
We run through the hallways to the dining hall to catch the end of dinner and we all make it there with about ten minutes to spare.
"Well girls get our dinner!" Zeke says with a cheeky grin.
"Wait, I thought we agreed Tris would take the blame?" Shauna said and I see Tris roll her eyes.
"Nah, that's not as fun!" Zeke says with a grin. I chuckle I knew that was coming. "Now go!"
Shauna rolls her eyes and then the girls walk off to get our food. We may end up enjoying this a little too much or at least Zeke will. There's no doubt in my mind that he will milk it for all it's worth.
"I should have made the deal for longer!" Zeke says as we sit down at the table. I just shake my head.
"Yeah we should have." Uriah agrees. "Next time, next time!"
"Next time? What makes you think they will agree to this again?" Will asks with a chuckle.
We all laugh at that because there is no way they would ever agree to this again after what we will make them do.
Tris' POV
"This is going to suck." Christina says as she grabs food for Will and herself.
"At least you aren't dating Zeke. I can't imagine what he is going to make me do." Shauna says.
"Your lucky, Tris. They probably will go easy on you since no one is dating you." Marlene says.
"Oh yeah, that's true." I say forgetting for second they didn't know about Tobias and me.
"We need to have a rematch on our next free day." Christina says.
"Yeah, but you know we could turn this to our advantage." I begin.
"How?" Marlene asks.
"For starters, their dinner." I say as I grab food I think Tobias won't like since I was volunteered to get his food.
"And no cake!" Christina says.
We smile at each other as we get foods they won't like and small amounts of the food. We walk back to the table with their food and ours. We picked good food for us with dauntless cake and good beverages. Also right after we went through the line they closed up the kitchen so there was no way they could get different food. I bite my lip as we get closer so that I don't smile.
We give them their food and sit down.
"What's this?!" Uriah yells and I chuckle.
"Yeah? Go get us good food!" Zeke yells.
"Sorry they're closed!" I say with a smirk at Zeke.
"Ok then you guys have to trade with us." Tobias says with a smirk as he takes my food and gives me his.
"Good one, Four!" Zeke says with a chuckle as he trades his and Shauna's food. Then Will and Uriah do it as well with their girls.
I sigh. That backfired, big time. I start picking at the food I got for Tobias.
"Whose idea was that?" Will asks with a chuckle.
"Tris." Christina says.
Tobias looks at me with a smirk and I roll my eyes. "It's not your day, is it?"
"Obviously not." I say sarcastically. He smirks.
We all eat our food and I'm ready for bed. It has been a long day or at least it feels that way. "Well I think I'm going to go." I say to the others.
"What about dessert?" Zeke says.
"You guys had cake." I say as we all throw away our stuff and start walking out of the dining hall.
"Yeah, we had dessert, but you girls haven't had dessert. I think chocolate pie is on the menu for tonight..." Zeke says with a sly grin.
"You are going to have to catch us first!" I say as I realize what he means. "Run!" I yell at the other girls.
We all start running, the boys right behind us, but as I turn the corner I look back for a spilt second and run into a wall at least I thought it was a wall, it happen to be a person and I fall down to the ground from the impact. A person I'd rather not run in to. Eric.
"What are you doing, Initiative?" Eric yells at me.
"Get her!" Zeke yells to Tobias.
"I'll take care of this, Eric." Tobias says as he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.
"No! This isn't fair." I yell as Tobias takes me to Zeke's apartment.
Zeke already got Shauna and was unlocking the door. Then I see that Uriah coming down the hall with Marlene and Will managed to get Christina as well. Another plan failed, not that I thought we would get out of this one, but I don't like going down without a fight.
We walk in or more correctly the boys walk into the apartment carrying us because none of us girls came willingly. "You know this is a waste of perfectly good pie!" I say to the boys.
"I don't see that way!" Zeke yells to me. "This is going to be so much better." I can't see him, but I can tell he is getting the pies out.
Tobias puts me down and I try to make a break for it, but he catches my arm and holds me there. I sigh there's no way out of this.
They make us sit down on his kitchen chairs as they get the pies. "On three?" Uriah says with a grin. Tobias smirks at me as he holds the pie in his hand. Zeke was true to his word they were all chocolate pies.
"One. Two. Three." Zeke says and then I have pie all over my face while the boys laugh at us. Nice. I use my hands to wipe some of the chocolate off my face before I think of another idea. I run forward towards Tobias and smear the chocolate pie that is all over my hands on his face.
The other girls did the same thing and then we ended up starting a wrestling match that lasted for who knows how long.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN HERE!" Max bellows from the door and we all freeze - a mixture of paint and chocolate pie all over us. Tobias had me pinned to the ground. Shauna was also pinned to the ground, but Christina and Marlene had Uriah and Will pinned to the ground instead.
"We were just having some fun, sir." Zeke tries to explain.
"Well, I suggest that you all make your way back to your dorms and get cleaned up." Max says in a quiet, dangerous voice before shaking his head and leaving the room.
"You give up?" Tobias whispers to me.
"I don't think I have a choice." I say considering I'm pinned down and Max said we were done.
"Good." Tobias says with a smirk and gets off of me. The rest of our friends also get up and make our way back to our dorms.
Christina, Will, and I make our way to our dorm. We get some funny looks at we walk down the hall, but we ignore them for the most part. Today had been a really fun day, although, we didn't quite win anything. I look at Christina. "When we have our rematch we will get them back. The girls will win." I say with confidence.
"Yes we will have to! We need to get our dignity back after today." She says with a sigh and Will laughs.
"I'm glad that you two got me in trouble today, it was a lot of fun!" Will says.
"You weren't really in trouble." I say with a chuckle.
"No, but it was still fun." He replies.
"That's true it was fun." I say with a grin. The best part about it was that I got to see Tobias most of the day.
We get back to the dorm, which is surprisingly empty, but I guess it is only about 8:30 or so. Christina and I head to the showers as I start to replay all the moments I shared with Tobias. I smile to myself then groan when I think of what could be in store for us tomorrow. At least we are working in our fear landscapes tomorrow so they can't make us do stuff while we are training. I smile as I think of the ways we can get the boys back for this deal.
Right after I take a shower, I get ready for bed and get in bed. I automatically miss Tobias' arms around me and wish that I was with him again. But, I need to be here so that people don't get suspicious of us.
"Night, Tris." Christina says,
"Night." I mumble back before I feel myself drift off to sleep.
Love to hear your thoughts! Please Review! :)
PS. It was a hard decision trying to figure out who was going to win because honestly I was on the girls' side. I had to keep reminding myself that I was the one writing this story! Don't worry though at some point the girls will get their revenge! :)
