Chapter 8

I drive Christina home and then go straight to my room. My parents are at work so I'm the only one here. I take out my phone and see that I have a text from Zeke.

Zeke: How the hell do you know French?

Me: I'm guessing Four told you what happened today?

I get a reply almost instantly.

Zeke: Yeah he told me everything. He is my best friend, remember?

Me: Yeah I remember. Which means you probably told him about what I told you in 3rd period huh?

Zeke: No actually that's the first thing I've ever kept from him.

Me: I meant to ask you earlier, what did you mean when you said Four would never do something like Ryan did, especially not to me?

Five minutes go by and still no reply from Zeke. I should have known he wouldn't reply to that.

Me: By the way, do me a favor and tell Four to keep the pencil I gave him. It's the only thing he's ever getting from me!(;

Zeke: LMAO he said he'll cherish it forever!

Me: He better! I found that pencil in my driveway this morning. Ask him how it tasted since he was chewing on it.

Zeke: Now that's disgusting.

I lay down and doze off. I wake up three hours later to my mom telling me there is someone at the door for me. I go downstairs and open the door. What the heck?

"Mrs. William's? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here about your drawings." She says excitedly.

"Please come in."

We sit down on the couch and my mom joins us.

"I talk to the principal of Faction High about your drawings and he loved them. He said that he was going to make t-shirts made. Everyone has to wear them on 'spirit days' which are the days we have football games. They come in tomorrow during lunch. Isn't that great?" Mrs. Williams says, a smile never leaving her face.

"Wow. I didn't mean for that to happen. I mean they were just doodles."

"That's great though Tris!" My mom says hugging me.

The t-shirts turn out great and everyone loves them. I keep getting compliments and thanks from a lot of people. I didn't know he was going to do this but the principal put my name at the bottom of all of the shirts so everyone knew it was me who designed them.

The first two weeks of school go by really fast. This Friday is our first football game. Zeke, Uriah, Will, and Four all made varsity along with other Dauntless members that we don't hang out with. Since Will is playing, Christina begged me to go. I promised Zeke I would go too. Its seventh period on Friday and everyone is getting excited about the football game. They are all wearing their factions shirt too and I can't help but smile.

"Hey, you're coming to the game tonight right?" Four leans over and asks me.

"Um, yeah. Zeke asked me to. Why?"

"Oh I was just wondering." He says before going back to listening to Mrs. Leroy.

"You seem a little nervous. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Four says not looking at me.

Well that wasn't convincing at all.

Four and I still barely talk. Two weeks hasn't changed anything. I can tell he's nervous though and he has a reason to be. He's quarterback on the varsity football team. Everyone is counting on him to lead the team to victory tonight. I go over to Christina's house after school and hang out there until the game. She wants to get there early so she can talk to Will before the game starts.

"What's the deal with you and him anyways? You aren't going out, but you both like each other." I say confused.

"I don't know. It's really complicated I guess."

We both change into shorts and instead of wearing my combat boots, I slip on some black Nikes. Christina puts on some black converse and starts redoing her make-up. Of course. I pull my hair into a ponytail and she does the same.

"You ready yet?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

"Yep! Let's go!"

I know this chapter wasn't very good. I have the next chapter planned out though and am in the middle writing it. 007, you read my mind though. I will have the next chapter up within a couple of hours, I don't know for sure when, but it will be up later today. Don't forget to review and I hope ya'll like the story so far! (:

BYE BYE.
