Chapter 40
Last time: I wonder what Mari and Shauna are doing?
Present:
Tris POV:
It's the Saturday that we want to the mall.
The Saturday that I kissed Tyler.
The Saturday that I became- No. I can't finish that sentence.
I get a phone call from Chrissy sometime later in the night.
"Tris! My spies have spotted something!" She screams into the phone.
"What have they spotted?" I don't even question her "spies". I just don't.
"They saw Zeke, Four, and... Will on a group date!" She starts crying into the phone at that moment.
"That little" I'm just going to leave out the rest of that paragraph, because it has some explicit words. Okay, a lot of explicit words.
After all of this Christina is still crying.
"Christina, you know what we're going to do on Monday?" I ask.
"What?" She sniffles.
"We're going to make sure we look 1000% better than we normally do. That'll show Will." I say.
"You're not even the slightest bit jealous of Fours date?" She asks, seemly recovered.
I think about the answer to this question. No. Not unless jealousy is the name of the feeling that makes me feel like my schist is closing in on me. Or the emotion that makes me want to throw a chair out a window (AN: Violent Tris is violent. And yes, that was necessary). Not unless jealousy makes me want to slap Four and weep at the same time. The worst most unfortunate thing about this whole paragraph is:
I think jealousy is that feeling.
I hate Will! How dare he! I knew he didn't actually like me! Why do I always get my hopes up? It's torture! I should just deny all signs of admiration towards me. Especially if its someone I like.
The sad part is; even if I try to forget or deny all signs of someone liking me back there's still going to be that small glimmer of hope trying to prove me wrong. Deep down inside I know I can't forget Will or think of him as just a friend no matter how hard I try.
Suddenly I get that feeling when you realize for someone else this must be a thousand times worst. The person in this case is Tris. Poor Tris, she doesn't even understand that's she's jealous. Tori told me about their conversation at her stand. At least I know I like Will, Tris has no clue how hard she's fallen for Four. Poor Four as well. He really likes Tris, I can tell. That is why I'm so confused about the whole thing. My spy said he looked like he was having a good time with some random red-head.
I wonder if he did that to get back at Tris. No, he doesn't seem that petty and desperate. He doesn't seem petty and desperate at all. He's seems humble and accepting, like if Tris doesn't want to be with him- which I highly doubt- he would just shrug and get on with his life. So why he went on that date is a mystery.
Ugh. Men.
You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em. There's somethin' irresistle-ish about 'em. I grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long. I hope that somethin' better comes along.
What a wise quote.
Hi guys! Sorry that this chapter is so short, I had no clue what I was going to write. At this point I basically have the ending and the epilogue planned out. Nothing more, nothing less. I did decide to do one thing:
I am making a contest! There will be at prize but the winner has to have an account (I'm really sorry to all my guests). The contest starts now with their question: What song was Christina quoting in this chapter? Who was it by and what album was on? No cheating!
300 reviews please! Wow guys. 300 reviews. I never thought that this story would come this far *wipes tear from corner of eye* I'm so proud!
QOTD: What should I add to the authors note once we get 300 reviews?
My answer: I was thinking maybe I should continue the contest until we get 400 reviews.
