Hey guys, sorry I didn't update yesterday. I came home from a vacation I've been on and was exhausted when I got home. I wrote this chapter today though so I hope ya'll like it.
Chapter 24
Tris:
Did I really just do that? I just kissed Tobias.
I go to my room and lay down on the bed. I can't stop smiling. I drift off to sleep and Tobias fills my dreams.
I wake up to my mom telling me there are pancakes downstairs. I just nod and roll out of the bed, literally, and hit the floor. I curse myself under my breath and stand up. I grab some black shorts and a black tank top and go take a shower. When I get out, I do my make-up and braid my hair to the side. I don't know why I'm doing all of this when I have no plans for today. When I'm ready, I go downstairs and eat. Right when I get up to put my plate in the sink, I get a text.
Christina: Come over, NOW!
Me: Yes ma'am! I'll be over as soon as I can!
I guess it was a good thing I got dressed already. I thank my mom for the breakfast and tell her I'm walking over to Christina's house. I walk out the door and am at her house within ten seconds. It's very convenient having your best friend live right next door to you. I knock on the door and hear Christina run down the stairs. She opens the door out of breath. I open my mouth to say something but she grabs my arm and drags me up the stairs. We get in her room and she closes the door.
"Christina what is going on?"
"After you left the paintball field on Saturday, Will and I stayed for a while."
"Yeah I figured you would. That's why I left you."
"Let me finish. He asks me out, of course I said yes, but then we overheard someone's conversation. It was between Zeke and Four." She signs and then continues. "They were talking about you. Of course, we could only hear one side of the conversation, but Zeke said…..something."
"What did he say?" I say getting a little angry that she won't just tell me.
"He…..he said he doesn't know why Four was going through so much trouble to get you when he could have any other girl he wanted and then he tried to talk him out of liking you."
I was speechless. Zeke was my guy best friend. Why would he do that? To anyone else, it might not seem that bad, but to me, it's awful. I clench my fists but am more sad than angry. I guess Zeke doesn't feel the same way I do about him. Christina just sits there staring at me, waiting for me to say something. I just sit there staring at my fists.
"Tris, I'm sorry. I had to tell you though."
"No. I'm glad you told me. I needed to know that."
"What are you going to do?"
"Confront him about it I guess. Can I say that you overheard it though so he doesn't think Four told me?"
"Yeah, that's fine." I give her a weak smile but it goes away almost instantly. I can't believe this.
"Um, so what happened between you and Four yesterday?" Christina asks trying to get my mind off Zeke.
"I don't really feel like talking right now Chris. I'm sorry."
"No I understand completely. I'll see you at school tomorrow." She smiles at me and I walk to my house. I go straight to my room and pull out my phone.
Me: I need to ask you something and I'm begging you, please be completely honest with me.
Tobias: Tris you're scaring me, but I promise I will be honest with you.
Me: After I dropped you off at your house on Friday, what did you and Zeke talk about?
Tobias: Okay, how did you know about that?
Me: Answer my question first.
Tobias: Fine. Zeke said he didn't understand why I was…um…going through so much trouble to get one girl when I could have any other girl I wanted and then named all the girls that constantly throw themselves at me, trying to make me stop liking you and move on to someone else….
Me: Okay. That's all I needed to know. Btw, Christina overheard him. They were still at the field.
Tobias: Tris, I'm so sorry. Zeke can be a jerk sometimes.
Me: Well I knew that, I just didn't know that he would be like that to me.
Tobias: Are you mad?
Me: More hurt than mad. On the bright side you did just admit that you liked me though.
Tobias: Well yeah, I thought you already knew that.
Me: Oh I did, but you weren't the one that told me. I have to go now. I don't know what I'm going to do about Zeke tomorrow.
Tobias: Just don't do anything you'll regret. In other words, just don't kill him.
Me: I regret nothing. In other words, no promises.
Hope ya'll liked it. I'll update another chapter either later today or tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, keep it up please!
BYE BYE (:
