Chapter 5:
Tris' POV:
I walk up to the apartment door, and knock, hard. I basically just stand there, banging on the door until somebody opens it. I was definitely not in the mode for more of Christina's dress up games, especially after what just happened in my apartment – I was a little reluctant to leave him alone.
I hear a scuffling behind the door, and Christina yells "Coming!"… I still continue banging, though.
She opens the door with a scowl on her face, and then brightens when she realizes it was me, pounding on her door.
"Hey, Trissy!" she screams. I scowl.
"Don't call me that. Let's just get this over with," I say, walking into her apartment.
"What's wrong, Trissy? You're especially grumpy today." She smiles, and closes the door.
I sigh, and tell her about my encounter with the blonde, simultaneously keeping the scowl plastered on my face.
"Wow, you would've thought this wouldn't be the only time," she says, pausing from her combing my hair to poke my ribs.
"This isn't funny, Christina!" I've had enough.
"I know, sorry, Tris. I'm just trying to… I don't know. Sorry."
Being that I'm not one to hold a grudge, I accept her apology.
For the rest of the time until the party, we talk about meaningless things, whilst getting ready, of course.
A few minutes before Christina and I are ready, there is a knock at the door. I go to answer it, because Christina is still putting on makeup.
"Hey, Uriah," I say, as I open the door and see he's standing there.
"Hey, Tris. You look good," he says, eyeing my outfit. I don't blush, because I remember Tobias saying that same thing to me a few weeks ago.
"Thanks," I say warily. "You do too."
"Thanks. You guys ready to party?!" he screams. This makes me forget what he said a few seconds ago, and I join in on the fervor.
"Totally! We'll be there in a minute; Christina's just putting on some makeup."
"Great. See you there, he says, walking in the direction of his apartment.
"Christina! Hurry up! The party is starting!" I yell.
"Ok!" she comes up from behind me, and locks her arm around mine. "Ready?"
"Let's go!"
