Chapter 5
Roof Party I

"Charming as always" Lynn rolls her eyes.

.xx.

"Christina, stop. We've been here for almost two hours." I say.

We came back to our dorm at about 8 o'clock, and Christina begged me to do my hair, makeup and choose my clothes.

At first, I said no, but I ended up saying yes. Otherwise, she wouldn't shut up about it.

She straightened my hair and made me wear high-waisted black shorts, a black sequin tank top and some net tights. The tank top and the tights are Christina's. Of course.

"I just need to find the eyeliner!" she says going through her bag.

I don't know what an eyeliner is, but by the name of it, I don't think I'll like it. But I don't even ask.

She is wearing a black tight dress. It suits her perfectly!

"Found it!" she squeals and turns to me. "Close your eyes." she demands.

I frown, but do as I am told, and she does whatever she thinks it'll look good.

"Now, open you eyes, and look up!"

"I don't know what the eff is that, but you are not getting that an inch closer to my eye." I frown.

"But but but, it's the final touch!"

"Nu-uh."

"Trisssss" she cries.

"I am not changing my mind." I say standing up.

I look in the mirror, and I think for once in many years, I actually look good.

"Okay, we need to go. The party started half an hour ago." She says handing me some heels.

"I am not putting those on." I sit on my bed and grab my combat boots.

"Come on Tris. You didn't let me finish your make up, at least wear those." She pokes out her bottom lip and makes puppy eyes, making a cute begging face.

"I don't even know how to walk in those!"

"Try it!" She hands me the shoes.

"Ugh, fine." I roll my eyes.

I put the heels on and I stand up.

"I feel like a tower!"

"Cool, right?" she asks "It's easier to kiss boys." she giggles.

"It's our first night! Jeez!"

I walk a little in our room, trying to get used to the heels, while Christina finishes her makeup.

"Ready?" she asks.

"Ready." I say.

She puts her arm around mine, turns off the lights and we are out the door.

"Next stop," she starts "sixth floor."

I end up spending 5 minutes trying to reach to the stairs, and 5 more to climb the stairs with those things on my feet.

"You better sleep with one eye open tonight. I don't know how to walk in those!" I say stumbling, before grabbing the knob of the door that leads to the roof.

I open the giant metal door and I hear very loud music. I see tons of people dressed in black, dancing, talking and drinking. I see lights in every colour possible, flashing before my eyes. If feels like I am in a movie or something.

"Wow Tris, you look absolutely gorgeous!" Marlene screams when she sees us. "I love your dress Christina!"

"Why, thank you!" Christina yells, cleaning some invisible dust of her shoulder.

"Blame this on Christina" I say.

"You look good Tris!" Marlene says and I smile.

"Okay, so, what can we drink here?" Christina asks Marlene, wiggling her eyebrows.

"I don't know, let's ask Uriah or Lynn." Marlene says squeezing in between me and Christina, putting her arms around ours. "I bet they know." she winks.

The three of us take a few steps, but I stop them.

"What's wrong?" Marlene asks.

"Nothing," I say taking off one of my heels. "I just need to" I say taking off the other one "take those off. They are killing me, and I can't walk!"

They both laugh and we go find someone we know.

"Look, there is Uriah!" Christina says, pointing to him. "And Lynn, right beside him!"

"Cool, let's go there then."

"What?" I ask "We don't know half of the people there!"

Marlene shrugs but keeps walking.

I can recognize they are seniors. They were the ones who were in the same table as Lynn and Uriah during lunch.

But now, I can actually see their faces, instead of their back.

The guy with the greasy hair had lots of piercings in his face, and tattoos down is neck. It makes him kind of ugly. The girl who had the beautiful hair, is also beautiful. She as three piercings in her eyebrow. But they looked good on her. She is holding hands with another guy. The guy who had the tight shirt. He as a full bottom lip and a defined jaw.

"Hot" I say, way too loud.

"What?" Marlene asks.

"What?" I repeat.

"Did you say something?"

"No."

"Oh, okay." She shrugs. "Hey, Uriah!" she calls.

"Hey ladies!" He grins. "You all look stunning."

"Thank you!" Marlene and Christina say. I just shyly smile.

I am not used to compliments.

"Okay, so," he turns to the seniors "Guys, those are ladies. Ladies, those are guys."

The girl I said it was beautiful rolls her eyes. I could see that because in that very moment, a white light started flashing.

I wonder how she isn't Lynn's sister.

"I am Christina, this is Marlene," she points at Marlene "and that is Tris." she points at me.

I forget I have two giant heels in my right hand, and I wave.

"These are Eric, Lauren and Four." Lynn says.

"And those two," Uriah shoves his brother, who is making out with Lynn's sister. "are Zeke, my older brother, and Shauna. Gross." he says to Zeke and Shauna smiles.

The girl, Lauren, looks at the heels I have in my hand, checks me out and frowns.

I notice we have the same tank top.

I don't know why girls nowadays, always get mad when they see another one with the same piece of clothing.

Marlene goes towards Uriah and whispers something in his ear.

"Hey, Four? What was the code for the booze again?"

"Just order water." Four says.

He turns to me and raises and eyebrow.

"If you are a freshman you can't drink."

"I'm a Junior. Only because I am little doesn't mean I'm a freshman." I snap.

I don't mind when people say I look young, but it bothers me when they think I am too young to do anything.

"You look like you're thirteen or something." Eric, the guy with the greasy hair says. Lauren just laughs.

"Yea, I get that a lot..." I murmur.

Then, Christina grabs my arm and drags me to the bar with Marlene.

Okay, so, I've been receiving a ton of questions about Tris and Uriah/Four. I'm not sure what I want to do about them, yet. I think I might do like a love triangle between them. BUT, I don't know who is she ending up with.

So, what do you think about the story so far? How am I doing?
Review and tell me why you love it, why you hate it or just tell me something totally random.

I'll update again tomorrow,
