Chicago Factions Boarding Schools
Chapter seven
Tris's POV
I wake up at 6.30 ish the next day and throw a pillow at Christina to wake her up then go and have a shower. I pull my blonde hair into a high ponytail and put on my new Cheerleader uniform. I come out of the bathroom so Christina can have her go but she's refusing to get out of bed so I go up to her and scream right in her ear. Christina bolts up and jumps out of bed and I fall over laughing. Christina just glares at me then goes to get ready.
We walk into breakfast and get a few wolf whistles. This time I smile directly at people instead of blushing then grab a bagel and some juice and go sit with my new friends. We don't talk much but when I go put my plate by the kitchen Tobias taps my shoulder. I raise an eyebrow at him questioning his actions. "Hi," he says smiling.
"Uh…Hey" I replied, blushing. Ugh. Why do I always have to blush? Tobias looks me up and down appraisingly, smirks then whispers in my ear: "Loving the view Tris." He then winks and saunters of. Me? I just stand there in shock until Christina comes up and drags me of to music which we have with seniors.
Christina and I walk into the music block and go sit on top of the piano where Uriah soon joins us. The teacher just raises his eyebrows and asks for quiet. "Okay everyone, this year's going to be busy. Next week we have the homecoming game and dance and I'm putting some of you into two groups to perform at the dance." Tobias and Lauren suddenly burst into the room, "Sorry sir we got got….Caught up." Lauren beamed giggling. My heart breaks then I see Tobias glaring at Lauren. I point this out to Christina and we begin to laugh quietly. This causes Lauren to glare at us which obviously only makes us laugh louder. "Anyway, as I was saying the groups are: Tris, Uriah, Christina and let's see…Tobias and then Lauren, Marlene, Jake and Jason. You will each have to sing two songs at homecoming one solo and one group performance. Get on with it then." Tobias smiles at us and walks over to lean next to me. I suggest we do Counting stars as our group song by One Republic and then Dance with somebody as our solo. I and Christina 'audition' for the solo and when she starts to sing she is amazing so I don't think I will get to do the solo. Then it's my go and at the end all three of them just stare at me in shock. "Okay, guys I know I'm bad just say it….Guys?" I giggle nervously. Suddenly, Chris and Uri rush at he and hug me taking away my breath. Tobias just looks at me in awe then when Chris and Uri stop hugging me he pulls me into a warm hug. "That was awesome." They all say at once then laugh. "Tris you're doing the solo." Uriah announces. I am slightly shocked when Tobias hugs me again but I don't resist because I like him and there's no point denying it. He doesn't let go and it passes friendly and congratulationary and became something more. He pulled back as the bell went and casually walked off to his next class.
Maths was boring and uneventful. I knew no one there so sat next to this geek called Al who stared at me all lesson. Finally the bell went after English and I ran off to the cafeteria. About halfway there Lauren stuck out her foot causing me to trip over. As I fall, someone catches my waist, hauling me upright again. "Thank you so much," I say seriously. Turning around I realise my smirking saviour is Tobias and Lauren was livid behind him. "You alright Tris," He asks concerned.
"Umm yeah… I am now." I stuttered.
"Come on." He says grabbing my hand and pulling me the rest of the way. I felt a jolt of chemistry that couldn't possibly be one-sided when he grabbed my hand causing me to turn a deeper shade of red then I thought possible.
Me and Tobias walked to our table together and when Christina saw us she raised her eyebrows at our hands. Both me and Tobias blush then I go sit next to Christina who exchanges a look with Zeke. "Something you guys wanna confess?" Zeke asks laughing. Before either of us can reply Lauren stalks over and sits at our table. She glances up to see Tobias glare at her. "WHAT?" She accuses glaring back. "What? What? That's what you have to say after trying to trip our friend up and embarrass her in front of half the school. Do you even have a heart?" Tobias Is getting really angry now and everyone else just glares at Lauren to. "God Tobias, it was just a laugh!" Lauren jokes, trying to get out of it. "Leave. Now!" Uriah and Marlene say together. "You're no longer welcome here." Zeke adds standing up and pointing to the door. Lauren storms of glaring at me before exiting the cafeteria.
Lunch goes by without any more drama and me and Christina head of to drams. –hah drama and drama. No anyone? - The next lesson rushes by and then its PE. We head to the gym and the seniors are already in one half playing basketball. –It's a big gym- And we get changed and go to the other half. Me and Christina go on the beam and do some routines then head to the spring board and do various leaps. After PE I skipped dinner as I wasn't hungry and did homework instead. Then I headed to bed exhausted already. I fall asleep quickly and sleep dreamlessly too tired for anything.
