I have been bored so all I've been doing is writing. I hope you like this chapter and I'll be posting another one really soon.
Chapter 5
I wake up and Christina is sitting up holding her head.
"How you feeling?" I ask her.
"Like I've been hit by a bus!" She says laying back down.
"Well go back to sleep Chris. I have to go home and let my parents know I'm alright and show them my hair." I say looking down at my short hair.
"You sure? I'm sorry. I usually don't drink that much."
"It's fine Chris, now go to sleep."
I say goodbye and tell her parents thanks for letting me stay over. I get in my car and am about to start when I get a text from Zeke.
Zeke: Still up for helping clean? This place is a disaster!
Me: Yeah I'll be over in 5 minutes.
Zeke: Sweet!
I drive over to Zeke's house and the three guys are outside with trash bags picking up beer cans. I get out and walk up to them.
"Holy shit Tris! THAT is your car?"
"Yes Zeke. It's called a mustang," I say.
"I know what it is!" He says giving me a death stare.
"Well you're acting like you've never seen one before so I felt like I needed to tell you."
Uriah and Four both laugh and I smile. "Now hand me a trash bag because this place looks terrible."
Zeke and I work on the front yard while Four and Uriah work upstairs.
"So Tris, why did you want to come help?" Zeke asks me.
"Well I didn't want to go home and get yelled at just yet."
"Why would you get yelled at? For being at the party?" Uriah says joining Zeke and I in the front yard.
"No not for being at the party, for letting Christina cut my hair last night before the party."
"You let Christina of all people cut your hair?" Uriah says surprised
"I know I'm stupid but hey it turned out pretty good. It was past my butt and now it's to my shoulders."
"Damn. It does look good on you though." Zeke says winking at me.
I roll my eyes and then Four comes through the front door.
"Hey ya'll are supposed to be working, not sitting on your asses talking."
"Yes sir. I'm sorry Mr. Four! We we're just talking about you and how great you are!" I say with as much sarcasm in my voice as possible. Uriah and Zeke try to hold back a laugh but it doesn't work. Four shoots them a death stare and then looks back to me.
"Hey I'm just trying to get things done. If all you're going to do is distract everyone, then I think you should leave."
"Oh so I distract you? Well then close your eyes because I'm just here to help." And with that he walks back inside and starts picking up trash again.
"Wow. I've never seen Four like that before. I mean he gets mad but rarely ever at us. Tris, what did you do to him?" Zeke says raising his eyebrows at me.
"Zeke you're his best friend so you tell me. I've only talking to him twice. I ran into him at the party last night but we didn't have a full conversation."
"I guess it has something to do with him breaking up with Cara." Uriah says before going back into the house.
Zeke and I finish picking up beer cans and other trash in the front and back yard. We get to know each other a little better and even though I've only known him for a little over a day, I think of him as my big brother. We joke around a lot, like him hitting on me, and it feels like we've known each other for forever. That's how it feels with Christina too. Zeke tells me a little about everyone I met last night and all about school.
The people you hang out with determine what faction you are in. There are five of them. There's Amity, Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. They're basically just cliques throughout the school. Candor are the goody goodies. They never lie and are kind of teacher's pets. Abnegation is pretty much the outcasts. The people that are shy and don't stand out. Erudite are the nerds. The one's that are thirsty for knowledge. Amity are the teachers, always looking for peace throughout the school. Then there's Dauntless. Dauntless are the adrenaline junkies. The ones that go out and party every weekend. They are also the sport fanatics. The people that I hang out with. The people that I fit in with. I am Dauntless.
