Let me just warn you, this is not one of my best chapters... I rewrote it a couple of times, but I still don't like the way it turned out.
But on the plus side, it's the biggest one of the story. I needed to end the party.

Enjoy x

Chapter 7
Roof Party III

"Don't even think about it."

.xx.

Peter quickly turns and sees Four with a serious expression.

They look at eachother eyes on eyes, at the same time Lynn mutters she had everything under control.

"Unless you want to get kicked out of this party, I suggest you keep your mouth shut." He says dryly at Peter.

"Ohh, I'm so scared to get kicked out of a party!"

"You should be. I can assure you, you won't step another feet in a bunch of Dauntless stuff this year. Just try me." Four says calmly before snapping his fingers in our direction and leaving.

Peter says nothing, he just stares at Four with his fists clenched and fury is written all over his face. Four doesn't seem to notice it, though.

Four seems like a... What is it? Unfriendly person? No. I don't even know him. He just doesn't seem to enjoy talking much. He is so mysterious, it's almost creepy.

Lynn follows him, trying to talk to him. I'm behind Lynn and Four, walking faster to try to keep up with them in these heels, not questioning anything out loud yet.

A couple of hours earlier, Lynn was just an unpleasant girl who did nothing more than rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. Why did she stood up for me then? At lunch, Marlene said she'd end up being nice, but I didn't know it was going to be this soon. Maybe she just doesn't likes Christina. Or maybe, she just hates Peter guts. She second option is way more likely. Christina talks a lot. Or should I say too much? But in the end, everyone seems to like her. But then again, I've only met her for less than a day. In the other hand, her little dialogue with Peter was enough for me to realize that they have known eachother for more than a day.

I only realize we stopped when I almost hit my nose in Four's back.

We are still in the party, but in a much more quiet part.

Seeing the dead serious look on his face, Lauren runs up to Four, asking him what happened.

Four just looks at her, but doesn't answer. He only says "later" and she nods.

"Don't be silly!" someone yells. I look above my shoulder and see Shauna and Lynn.

"I wasn't being silly." Lynn replies.

"You know, if I hadn't told Four to stop that, Peter would not hold back more."

I should look for Marlene and Christina. I shouldn't be overhearing conversations. Especially between two sisters.

"And I would have beaten his ass!"

"Of course you would." Shauna rolls her eyes. They are definitely sisters. The eye rolling is the same. "You are quite stong, but he is more. Remember what happened last year whe-"

"TRIS!" Christina screams.

"What happened?" Marlene says with a smile "Where did you go? We were looking for you in the dance floor!"

"You should have seen me trying to twerk! Marlene laughed so hard."

"Well, basically, a clumsy someone shoved me and I lost you guys because of that. Then, some random guy called Peter started hitting on me, and Lynn stood up for me. But then they started arguing and Four showed up and ended all that."

"Peter? Oh boy, that's bad. Where is her?" Marlene asks, worried. I just point at Lynn and Shauna. Marlene nods and joins them.

Now that I told what happened out loud, the reality starts to sink in.

Lynn didn't stood up for me because she was being nice. She stood up for me because she wanted to have an excuse to finish unfinished things between them. And Four only ended that conversation because Shauna asked him. Oh.

Christina waves her hand in front of me.

"Hello? Why are you staring at Eric's butt?"

"What?"

I am glad she interrupted my thoughts. I shouldn't be thinking about this. I know nothing about these people, besides their names. I don't need to know what happened between Lynn and Peter. They have their own issues and I have mine. I don't need to know why she stood up for me. Right? Right? Aw god, why am I so curious?

"You were staring at Eric's butt." She giggles.

"I was not."

"You were. For a long period of time, actually."

"Oh, I was just... Thinking."

Please don't ask about what, please don't ask about what.

"About what?"

Oh crap.

"Just about... How much I want to hit the dance floor." I say.

"My feet hurt! Well, I guess one more won't hurt, right?" She smiles and drags me to the middle of the people dancing.

.xx.

I don't know for how long Christina and I danced, but we were exhausted by the time we got back to the group.

We were about to say goodbye to all our new friends when I noticed that Lynn wasn't with them.

"Hey Marlene?" I ask. "Where is Lynn?"

"She went back to her dorm. It was a rough night."

"But is everything alright?"

"Yea, why wouldn't it be?" she cracks a smile who doesn't seems real.

"You just said it had been a rough night for her."

"It isn't anything you need to worry about. Really."

I don't believe her, but she is trying to somewhat protect her friend. I just crack a smile and say goodbye to all of them, besides Lynn, Eric, Lauren and Shauna, who already left.

"Why are you girls leaving so soon? Stay for another few hours. The night is still a child!" Zeke tries to make us stay.

"I'd like that, but my feet are killing me!" Christina says.

"Maybe if you hadn't brought such huge heels..." Uriah joins the conversation.

"Well, I like to see myself in heels. So, why not?"

"Because you can barely walk."

"I can barely walk now. I've danced the whole night, you know."

"Tris has been dancing with you, and she isn't complaining."

I actually took off my heels in the middle of the dance floor. If I almost can't walk with them on, I definitely can't dance. But I decide not to interfere. I have the feeling she is going to tell him what I did.

"It's different, she took them off in the dance floor."

How did I knew?

"And why didn't you?"

"Because I don't like walk bare feet!"

They keep arguing for a couple of minutes, and I keep watching them. It looks like I am watching a tennis match. I turn my head to Christina, then to Uriah. Then to Christina, and then to Uriah, ...

It looks like we are staying here for a little more, so I take the money off my back pocket and start counting it.

Is this enough for a "water"? I ask myself. I guess so, how expensive can it get?

I reach the bar and ask for a black water, since it's the only drink I know, to the same guy who were there earlier. He was his hair shaved in both sides and a little mohawk in the middle. He also has a piercing beneath his lower lip. This time, he doesn't asks if I am a Junior. And when he turns to grab my water, I shyly smirk.

"So, what are you ordering?" Zeke says, right by my side.

"I didn't saw you there. Black water." I reply.

He just laughs, and I raise and eyebrow at him.

When he calms down, he says, "Usually, when they ask us what kind of "water" do we want, we say the name of the drink. Not the color." With his index and middle finger he made the quote sign at the word water.

"Oh. I don't know the real name." I confess, right when the mohawk guy comes back with my drink and I pay him.

"Do you at least know what are you drinking?"

"Black water."

"No, silly." He grins. "Do you at least know that that's alcohol? Thank you." He says while another guy hands him his own drink. Zeke pays for it, and I answer him when we start walking back to where we were before.

"Well, of course. I mean, I didn't when Marlene ordered. But when I tasted it, she told me." I tell him, not really knowing why.

"You have never tried al-"

"Not until today."

He is open mouthed. Shocked, even.

When we get to where we were before, Christina and Uriah are still arguing. Four is next to them, watching their "fight" amused. I don't think they noticed that Zeke and I left. Nor that Four is watching them. I stop right next to them, across from Four, who now has Zeke on his left side.

"... don't match." Christina finishes her sentence smirking.

"Why on earth would I match my shoes with my underwear?"

"Becaus-"

"AHAM" I clean my throat, before Christina could end the first word.

In less than a second I have 5 pairs of eyes glaring at me. Zeke's, Four's, Christina's, Uriah's and Marlene's, who has her cellphone on her ear, meaning that she is calling someone. Marlene is near the edge of the roof, and we are just next to her.

I hadn't thought about what I would say after I interrupted them, so, I just looked at Christina and Uriah, and smiled like an idiot.

"Well, this was fun." Zeke says and all the eyes turn at him. "Now, hug and say you are sorry."

"Excuse me?" Christina says.

"Hug. And say you're sorry. When our little cousins fight," he says taking a quick glance at Uriah "their mother always tells them to hug and apologize."

"They are 5 and 7." Uriah says annoyed and I take a sip at my drink. I must have taken a huge sip because when I swallowed, I felt my throat burn.

"So what? Child's fight, child's punishment."

Four started laughing at what Zeke just said, I was about to laugh as well, but I choked and started coughing, what made Four laugh even harder and Zeke, Christina and Uriah laugh as crazy.

Marlene tried to control herself, but ended up laughing without making any sound. I was the only one who saw that, because I was facing her. She was making a weird face, trying to control the noise of the laugh, which made me laugh and cough at the same time.

Zeke thought it would be funny to be the dramatic one, so, he lied on the floor, grabbed his stomach and started rolling to both sides, like when a turtle falls on her shell and can't roll over.

When we finally calmed down, I had to wipe a tear from the corner of my eye.

"The funny thing is that you guys didn't even hug and apologize like I told you too." Zeke said. He just kept lying on the floor, facing the sky with a grin on his face.

"I'm not sorry." Christina said sticking her tongue out to Uriah.

"I'm not sorry as well." Uriah grinned.

He opened his arms and Christina hugged him.
