Lots of switching POV's in this chapter, sorry! But it also made this chapter really long!
Tris' POV
The next morning (a Friday morning because for some reason they decided to start school on a Wednesday), I wake up to the incessant blaring of my stupid alarm clock like every other morning. I rise from my bed and put on black skinny jeans and a black tank top that has a flame drawing on it. I quickly apply my makeup and fix my hair and brush my teeth. Then, I walk to Tobias' room to wake him up.
I open his bedroom door to find him sitting up in bed already dressed. That's two days in a row and I don't like it. He's definitely planning something.
"Tobias," I begin slowly. "Why are you awake before me again?"
He smirks at me and shrugs, "I felt like it. I didn't want to burden you with waking me up."
"Sure," I say slowly and not at all believing his lies. As I shut his door, I hear his laughter. I head downstairs and grab a chocolate doughnut from the fridge, and take a seat at the kitchen bar. Tobias comes down the stairs as I'm munching on my doughnut.
"I have to drive myself today, right?" Tobias asks.
I nod, "Yeah, I'll be home soon after you. I'll only stay at the library for maybe an hour today. It is Friday and I'm sure Ethan has things he wants to do just like I'd rather be doing other stuff on a Friday night."
Tobias laughs and grabs his bookbag. I get up from my chair and grab mine as well. We both walk to the garage. Tobias begins to veer off towards his motorcycle but I grab the sleeve of his jacket and drag him back towards me. He turns around to face me and raises his eyebrows, "Yes, Trissy?"
I smile and stand on my tiptoes, pressing my lips to his. "See you at school," I murmur. He smiles back at me and quickly presses a kiss to the tip of my nose.
I release him and climb into my Ferrari while he climbs onto his motorcycle.
Tobias' POV
When we arrive at the school, I hop off of my motorcycle and walk up to Tris' Ferrari. When she gets out, I grab her hand and we walk towards the front entrance together. Just like any other day, our friends stand waiting by the door. When we get close enough, Uriah asks, "Why did you guys drive separately today?"
"I have to tutor Ethan in the library afterschool," Tris explains.
Suddenly, my phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket to check the caller ID. Apparently, it's Tris' mom. My forehead creases in confusion and Tris asks, "Who is it?" I just hold up a finger to signal 'give me a minute' and walk a little bit away from the group. Once I'm out of hearing range, I answer the phone.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hey, Four! I was just going to tell you that I'm going to try to be home for Tris' birthday. Do you have anything planned for her birthday?" Ms. Prior says to me.
I shake my head in confusion, "She's never told me her birthday. I didn't even know it was coming up. When is it? She'll be 17 right?"
"Oh, I didn't know she never told you. She hates making a big deal out of her birthday. Yes, she'll be 17 this year and her birthday is September 6th."
September 6th. It's August 29 today which means her birthday is next Saturday. "Thanks for telling me, I'll be sure to have something planned. I'll ask Christina and the others for help," I tell Ms. Prior.
"Well good. Okay, don't be late for class. Bye Four."
"Goodbye, Natalie," I say. I really don't like calling her Natalie but she insists. I still can't believe Tris didn't tell me her birthday was next week. The only class I don't have with Tris is second block which I have with Zeke and Uriah so I'll tell them then and I guess I'll have to shoot a mass text to Will, Shauna, Marlene, and Christina.
"Four, we're going to be late. Come on!" Will shouts. I jog back over to them and we begin to walk to our classes.
"Who was that?" Tris asks.
"It doesn't matter," I say. I don't know what we're planning for her birthday yet and I don't want to let her know that I know about her birthday. She obviously didn't want me to know or she would have told me.
"Fine, don't tell me," She says, a bit angrily.
I grab her wrist to stop her from storming away, "Tris, trust me. It's not important. It's a surprise, you'll figure it out soon enough."
She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, "Fine." I kiss her forehead and lace my fingers with hers, and we head to Spanish.
xXx
When Spanish is over, I walk Tris to her AP Literature class and kiss her goodbye. Then, I head to my AP Government Econ class. I walk in and take my seat at the table with Zeke and Uriah.
"Hey guys," I say.
"Hola Cautro!" Uriah shouts.
"And that is all you will ever hear Uriah say in Spanish because he's stupid," Zeke says. I laugh and Uriah gasps dramatically.
"No but I have a serious matter. Do either of you know when Tris' birthday is?" I ask quietly. They exchange looks and both shake their heads no.
"Well, her mom called me this morning to ask me what I'm planning for Tris' birthday. She's turning 17 next Saturday," I explain.
"Dude! I'm gonna kill her for not telling us!" Uriah shouts.
"No! Don't let her know that we know. She doesn't like to make a big deal of it so we're going to pretend like we don't know," I say.
"We have to do something, we can't let her get away with nothing," Uriah demands.
"We can just throw her a surprise birthday party. That'd be easy enough," Zeke suggests.
I nod, "Sounds like a plan. I'll text everyone else and let them know about it or I'll tell them when I can."
xXx
When lunch rolls around, I quickly throw my stuff in my locker and heard towards our lunch table. Tris, Will, and Christina are always the last to show up because their second block is on the other side of the school. When, I reach the table, I slide in the seat across from Shauna and Marlene while Zeke and Uriah takes seats next to their girlfriends.
"So, I have something to tell you guys before Tris shows up. She never told any of us this but her mom told me this morning. Tris is turning 17 next Saturday," I quickly explain to Marlene and Shauna.
"What! We have to throw her a party or something!" Marlene yells.
"But she doesn't want to make a big deal about it. That's why Zeke proposed the idea of a surprise party. She can't oppose it if she doesn't know about it," I say.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Shauna says, leaning back casually in her chair.
"What plan?" Tris asks, taking the seat next to me. I jump in surprise.
"Yeah, what plan? I must be included in all plans," Christina demands.
"Uh, nothing. We were just talking about… Um…" I stutter, trying to find an excuse.
"We were talking about going paintballing tomorrow night!" Marlene lies smoothly. I sigh in relief.
"That sounds like fun," Christina says.
"Yeah, are we going?" Will asks.
I shrug, "Does everyone want to?" Everyone nods except Tris.
"Tris, would you like to go paintballing? It's okay to say no," I say, watching for a reaction.
She hesitates, "I've never been paintballing before."
"What! Where the heck did you move here from that you've never been paintballing!?" Uriah screams.
"I moved here from Colorado. I never went out much, I was homeschooled. And I went to different countries with my mom in my free time," Tris explains, shrugging.
"Well, now you have to go," Christina states.
Tris sighs, "Okay, fine."
I smile and lean towards her to whisper in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll teach you." She smiles at me warmly.
I realize that Christina and Will still don't know what we're actually planning so I pull out my phone and discreetly write a quick text.
Tris never told us this but her mom told me this morning. Her 17th birthday is next Saturday. We're throwing a surprise party so don't let her know that we know. –Four
I send it to them and I watch as they both open their text messages. Will keeps his cool about it but Christina jumps out of her seat and screams, "What! No way!"
I shoot her a glare when Tris asks, "What happened, Christina?"
"Oh, sorry. My favorite store is having a sale today," Christina lies. I have to admit, it's very convenient that my friends are good liars.
Tris' POV
At the end of the school day, Tobias and I walk to our lockers and throw what we don't need inside.
"Tris, I wasn't kidding about him trying anything. I really don't like him," Tobias complains.
I sigh, "Tobias, don't worry about it. I'll be fine, I promise. And I love you. Now go home."
He sighs dramatically, kisses my forehead and heads outside to the parking lot. I turn and head in the opposite direction, towards the library.
When I walk in the library doors, I spot Ethan already sitting at a table towards the back. I make my way towards him and throw my stuff down on the table, sliding into the empty chair next to his.
He glances up at me and says, "Hey, Tris."
"Hey, Ethan. Ready to study?" I respond. He smirks and flips open his textbook.
xXx
An hour passes by quickly and I learn that Ethan is pretty funny but doesn't seem to take school seriously.
"It's getting late, I have to go," I tell him with a friendly smile. He makes a pouty face and I laugh.
He sighs, "Fine, okay. I guess I'll see you later, Tris. Bye." I gather my things and wave goodbye, heading out of the library and to my car.
xXx
When I get home, I throw my bookbag down on the kitchen table. "Tobias?" I call through the house. I know he must have heard me walk in. I head up the stairs and try to open his door, only to find it locked. I faintly hear him talking through the door so he must be on the phone.
"Tris doesn't know anything of it," I hear him say. What is he talking about? I don't know about what?
I knock on the door, "Tobias!"
"Hold on!" He responds. I can hear him tell whoever's on the phone that he has to go. He quickly unlocks the door and it swings open. "Hey, Trissy," He says, sounding a little bit nervous.
I squint at him suspiciously, "What do I know nothing of?"
His face gets a frantic look, "Uh, it's not important, Trissy."
I try to keep the expression off my face but I can't help but feel a little hurt. I also feel worried. Tobias wouldn't be cheating on me, would he? He loves me, of course he isn't. And Tobias isn't that kind of person, he would never cause harm to anyone who didn't deserve it, being all that he went through. I hope I'm right to trust him.
All I say is, "Okay," and I turn from his door, heading to my room.
I think he must hear some melancholy in my voice because his voice turns a little worried, "Tris? What's wrong?"
I turn back to him slowly. "Nothing," I say, trying to keep my face blank. Tobias moves from his place in the doorway and walks towards me. He sweeps some of my hair behind my ear and strokes my cheekbone with the pad of his thumb. "Trissy, please don't lie to me. What's wrong?" He asks, concern in his deep blue eyes.
My eyes begin to water a bit. How do I know he's not cheating on me or something bad like that? I can't lose him. He means too much to me.
"Tobias, I'm right to trust you, right?" I ask slowly.
His face crinkles in confusion and concern, "Of course, Trissy. You can always trust me."
I wipe at my eyes before responding, "Then, what are you hiding from me?"
He sighs and wipes under my eyes with his thumbs. He grabs my face gently in his large hands and makes me look him in the eyes, "Beatrice Prior, I promise you that you will find out very soon. I love you and I promise it's not something that will hurt you in any way. Please, you just have to trust me." I watch his eyes the whole time and he looks sincere.
I nod slowly. "Okay," is my only response. Tobias leans down and plants a kiss on both of my cheeks, my forehead, my nose, and finally a soft sweet kiss on my lips.
I sigh, "I love you, Tobias."
He smiles, "I love you too, Trissy. I have to do homework now but I'm in my room if you need me."
I nod and go to my room, shutting my door behind me. I flop onto the bed on my stomach and just lay there for a moment. Of course I trust Tobias but we don't keep secrets so what is he hiding?
