Chicago Factions Boarding School
Chapter eight
Tobias's POV
Whoa! I have never known anyone to have as much musical talent as Tris does. After music I had a free and still recovering from the shock in music and the hug me and Tris shared I went to my dorm to plan for tonight, I can only hope I don't make a fool of myself. Zeke had lessons so I could think about it alone. When I got to my next lesson science I just zoned out for the hour and thought about the rich, beautiful modest girl with the voice of an angel- Tris.
Later, when I'm on my way to lunch I see Tris hurrying along ahead of me so I run to catch up with her. Just when I reach her Lauren sticks her leg out to trip Tris. As she stumbles and begins to fall I reach out and wrap my hands around her narrow waist, which I have been dreaming about doing since I met her, and set her upright again. I am extremely aware of the furious glares aimed at us from Lauren's direction. "Thank you so much," Tris says graciously then turns around. When she sees me she stumbles back in shock and I smirk then ask if she's alright. "I am now." She says and blushes. What's that supposed to mean? Does she like me the way I like her? And that blush is so distracting. So beautiful, adorable and distract- Oops getting carried away there.
I grab her hand and say "Come on," pulling her towards the cafeteria. When we enter we get a few comments about out entwined hands so Tris lets go blushing. When she lets go, the constant jolts of electricity die and I miss the sensation of her hand in mine. Lauren decides to make some rude comments and our group shoos her away. She leaves reluctantly, when she does she glares holes in Tris. Lunch passes without much more drama after we tell Lauren to leave. Then I head to Maths and then PE.
When we arrive I realise we have PE with juniors so I will get to see how good Tris really is at sport. We change and me and Zeke choose our teams for basketball and begin to play. After about half an hour of play I opt to go off so I can watch Tris and Christina. They had just moved from the beam to the spring board and Tris was doing some awesome moves and flips. Christina was good too but it was obviously harder for her whereas with Tris it seemed to come naturally. After PE I went back to my dorm to get some sleep before my plan. I set my alarm for midnight and went to sleep
When my alarm went off I checked to see if Zeke was awake. He wasn't so I quickly got up, dressed then headed to the girls' room. I broke in (badass right lol) and gently shook Tris awake. He eyes shot open the widened dramatically when they saw me. I put my finger to my lips signalling her to be quiet, gestured to her clothes and whispered: "I have a surprise for you. Meet me outside your dorm in 10 minutes." She nodded and I went to wait outside.
10 minutes later Tris walked out looking stunning. She was wearing a low cut top and a miniskirt with tights then Nikes on her feet. All her outfit was black, and obviously it looked amazing on her. I grabbed her hand, laced her fingers with mine and said "I'm going to show you the roof, come with me."
I took her up the hidden stairwell and onto the roof. I tried to stay away from the edge because of my fear but Tris pulled me towards the railings. I drew from her fearlessness and strength and took a deep breath and successfully conquered my fear. For now. "This is beautiful Tobias," Tris said in her sweet, melodic voice. "Was there any particular reason why you brought me up here in the middle of the night?" This is it. When I confess how I feel. It's now or never.
"Yes, there is. You see since you stepped off that helicopter 3 days ago I have had the biggest crush on you. These feelings have been growing each day and I can't contain them anymore. I know it hasn't been long but I needed to say this." I breathed a huge sigh of relief. That felt good to get out. Tris just stood there in silence. That felt less good.
"You...You like...Me?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yes," I said seriously. And then Tris reached up, and the best moment of my life happened. She kissed me. Gently, carefully. As she pulled away I ran my hand through her hair and brought her face back up to meet mine. My thoughts clouded by desire. We stood there kissing for the next few hours until we broke away gasping for air.
"I had no idea you felt that way," Tris said still out of breath. "I do to, if I hadn't made that clear."
"I think you made that pretty obvious Tris." I said smiling. "It's getting late. I'll walk you back." Hand in hand we walked back to her dorm where I kissed her goodnight then headed back to my bed replaying the last few hours over and over in my head until I fell asleep.
