Sorry guys! My internet wasn't working at my house yesterday and it just now got fixed. Hope you like this chapter though!
Chapter 25
I walk into school and see Zeke and Tobias standing by their lockers. I curse Zeke under my breath and walk past my locker and them. I look back and see Tobias' eyes flicker to me, but I don't think Zeke saw me, thankfully. I go into the bathroom and pull out my phone to text Tobias.
Me: Since you're the only one that can open my locker anyways, do you mind getting my books out of it and bringing them to me? I really don't want to see Zeke right now. I'd rather deal with him in third period when I have to.
Tobias: Got it.
I walk out of the bathroom and over to Christina's locker. Five minutes later I see Tobias walking up to us. He hands me his books and I thank him.
"So you kissed me goodbye on Saturday, do I get one today too?" Tobias says smiling. He said it quietly though so no one heard him except for me.
I respond by throwing my hands around his neck and kissing him softly on the lips. We get a few stares from random girls and we both just start laughing. I look at Christina and her mouth is wide open. I say bye to Tobias, smile at Christina, and then walk to my first period.
Uriah and I don't talk at all during first period. I zone out thinking about everyone's faces in the hallway this morning when I kissed Tobias. The bell finally rings and I walk to my second period. I sit down in my seat and then Tobias walks in and sits in the one next to me. I smile at him and he smiles back.
"You okay?" He asks. I look him in the eyes and there's worry in them.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just have to see Zeke next period."
"What are you going to say?"
"I have no idea." I say putting my head in my hands.
Before he could reply, Mr. Cannon starts the class. I again don't pay attention and start writing random stuff on my notebook. I finally realize what I was writing and quickly turn the page. I blush and look at Tobias. He's staring at me and raises his eyebrows. I just shake my head knowing he wants to know what I wrote. I look at Mr. Cannon to see if he is watching us and thankfully he isn't. Right when I look at him though, Tobias snatches the notebook from off my desk. He turns the page back and sees his name written with all kinds of designs around it. He tears it out, folds it up, and puts it in his pocket. I give him a questionable look and he just shrugs. The bell rings and I have to go to third period which means I have to see Zeke. I walk in and he's already at his seat. He looks at me but I just roll my eyes. I go and take my seat next to him.
"Are you okay Tris?"
"Not really, no." I say not looking at him.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asks confused.
"I don't know Zeke, why don't you tell me?" I say giving him a death stare.
"Um, I don't think I did anything wrong…." He say looking down at his desk.
"Really? You don't think you did anything? Okay well then I guess you did nothing wrong and I'm just pissed for no reason then!"
"Tris…."
"What?" I say trying not to yell.
"Tris, how did you find out?" He said putting his head in his hands.
"Find out about what? I thought you did nothing wrong." I say raising my eyebrows.
He signs and then says, "Tris listen, I am so sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just said that I didn't understand why he was trying so hard for you when he could have anyone else because I've never seen him like this before. He cares for you more than he's cared for anyone else, even me. I tried to talk him out of liking you because I don't want to see you get hurt. You don't know everything about him and neither do I and I'm his best friend. I just don't want you to get hurt by him. Tris, you are one of my best friends. I would never deliberately hurt you."
"Yeah and neither would Four and I know that for a fact."
"I'm sorry okay? I know I shouldn't have interfered, but there's nothing I can do now. I can't change it, I can't take it back. I just want you to forgive me. I promise to never try and protect you again unless you really need it."
He has a point. There's nothing we can do to change it, but he still has to make it up to me.
"Okay Zeke. I forgive you, but you're not completely off the hook though."
"What do I have to do then?"
I smirk and say, "Oh you'll see."
