Chapter 37
Last time: "That, my friend, is a little thing called jealousy."
Present:
I just stare at Tori.
Wow. I've been doing a lot of that lately.
Off topic, Tris! Back to the current issue at hand! I can't be jealous! That's impossible! I don't like Four at all! And I definitely don't like Christina!
"I think you're wrong, Tori. I can't be jealous! That's impossible! I don't have any feelings whatsoever for Four or Christina! I mean how cliché would that be?!" I add the last sentence mentally.
Tori grins. "I think you're lying to yourself, Tris. You think he's gorgeous! You want to kiss him! You want to hug him! You want to love him! You want to smooch him! You want to hug him!" She sings.
"Real mature, Tori! Real mature!" I shout over my shoulder as I walk back over to our friends.
"Why were you shouting 'Real mature' at Tori?" Asks a confused voice. Oh no. I think I recognize that voice.
Four.
Four POV:
Christina and I walk back over to the table our friends are sitting at.
"Oh my gosh! You guys know what I just realized while you were sitting over there?" Marlene squeals.
"What?" Christina asks back.
"You guys would make the cutest couple, like, in the history of ever!" Marlene squeals. I feel like I'm either gonna vomit or laugh.
"No." I respond simply.
"Why not?" Marlene whines.
"No." I refuse to say anything else.
The rest of the table debates whether Christina and I should go out or not and I tune out. Suddenly I hear Tori singing, "You think he's gorgeous! You want to kiss him! You want to hug him! You want to love him! You want to smooch him! You want to hug him!" at the top of her lungs. It's followed by Tris shouting "Real mature, Tori!" I sneak up behind Tris and try to scare her by asking,
"Why were you shouting 'Real mature' at Tori?"
She looks panicked.
"No reason." She says.
"You can tell me anything, Tris." I respond with. She seems to trust me enough.
"Well, Tori was singing a song about how I really want to kiss someone. The thing is, I have no clue if I like him or not. I mean, he's handsome and sweet and has the most beautiful eyes, but I just don't know if we'll work out." Something in m deflates. She's no doubt talking about Tyler. She likes Tyler.
"Okay." I respond, trying to not give away my feelings.
"Four!" I hear Tori shout. I walk over to her, confused.
"Yes?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Look, I know how you may be feeling right now. Don't get mad, but Christina told me. I think you are a good kid and approve of you, so you already have my blessing. Be warned, the rest of her family isn't as easy. I don't know why she did that, but I do know me thing: deep down inside her, in a place she doesn't dare explore, she has feelings for you. She just doesn't want to recognize them. She likes you. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Tori."
I would be lying if I said that made feel better.
Aww, nice Tori is nice. Sad Four is sad. Confused Tris is confused. Sorry that it took me a while to update, I just had like a major mental shut down. I also started freaking out because we're supposed to get our second trimester grades back soon and I'm panicking. I mean, pretty much everyone a my school gets relatively good grades but I still panic.

QOTD: What's on your mind right now?
My answer: Lol. Right now it's like in that Spongebob episode when there's a fire in Patricks head and all the little Patricks are running around in chaos. Yup. I'm that person.
