I'm back ya'll! U miss me?
Tris POV
I walk into Science and see only one seat available so I sit in it. I pull out my science folder and my pencil. Class starts and halfway through a very boring lecture on atoms my pencil rolls off my desk. I bend over in my seat to pick it up but someone picks it up for me. I look up at the stranger and immediately recognize him. Peter, the dude who wouldn't stop staring at my boobs during cheer tryouts.
"Here's your pencil" he whispers. I look away from his face and take my pencil from his hand.
"So you're Tris, right" he whisper-yells.
"Mmhm" I nod my head as I put my pencil back on the desk. He stares at the side of my head for a moment making me ever so slightly uncomfortable.
"I'm Peter" he smiles. I flash him a warm smile as I focus back on the lesson that has now taken a turn to the periodic table of elements.
Class ends soon after and just as I am about to walk down the hall I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to find none other than Peter looking very nervous.
"Sorry about before, that was kinda awkward"
"Yea its okay" I shrug. Peter opens his mouth as if to say something but closes it. I am about to leave but he speaks up.
"You wanna get some coffee after school to maybe get to know each other better"
Is he asking me out? I hate to reject him and see him upset. The nice girl inside me says give him a chance, we could be good friends. The not so nice girl inside me says he could be a perv or axe murderer, maybe in the mafia. I decide to be nice and accept his offer.
"Sure. I will go but only as a friend" I say. He gets a goofy smile on his face and thanks me. I continue down the hall and I meet up with Christina.
"I saw that you know" Christina says casually examining her pink nails.
"Saw what" I furrow my brows in confusion.
"You and Peter talking. He totally has a crush on you" Christina says it like its the most obvious thing in the world.
"I don't like him, we are just going to get coffee together as FRIENDS. Then I will go over to Zeke's for the party okay" I explain putting emphasis on friends. Christina rolls her eyes not convinced. I check my phone and see that if I want to make it to the party on time and still have time with Peter I need to leave now. I wave goodbye to Chris and I head to my Lexus and drive off to Starbucks.
Once I arrive I park and get out. Once I arrive I look around for Peter and I spot him in the corner sipping on a latte. I wave to get his attention, when he sees me he smiles and beckons me over. I take the seat across from him.
"Hey" I say giving him a smile.
"Hello" he returns my smile. We sit for a few moments in awkward silence.
"I'm gonna get something to drink you want something" I say looking over at the menu mounted on the wall behind the register. He says no so I get in line. Once its my turn I order a vanilla bean frappuccino with two pumps of raspberry. I tell them my name and wait for my drink. I get it and pay and waltz back to Peter.
"I'm back" I say as I plop back in my seat.
"And as beautiful as ever" Peter says flirtatiously. I blush and look away.
"So tell me about yourself" Peter says after taking a sip of his drink.
I think for a minute before saying "Well, my real name is Beatrice but when I was in Pre-K my friend Uriah called me Tris because he thought my name was too long and it kinda stuck.I have a brother named Caleb and my parents are always MIA" I say from the top of my head, "What about you"
"Well I am adopted and my real parents are dead. My adopted parents are cool but are very honest. I have a older sister and plenty of cousins" he says. Wow I wonder what its like to not know who your parents are.
"I'm sorry about your parents" I say while awkwardly sliding my frappuccino from one hand to another.
"Don't be. I never really knew them long enough to be able to miss them" he sighs looking out the windows. I lick my lips and taste lipstick and my frappuccino. I check my phone: 4:06. I have to go.
"Sorry Peter I have to go but we should hang out again" I shove my phone in my pocket and wave bye to Peter. He waves bye. I quickly leave Starbucks and take a quick trip home to get my outfit, makeup, and other things. Once I have everything I drive to Zeke's.
I knock on his huge wooden door. He opens it and pulls me inside.
"Trissy is here" he shouts over at our friends who have a karaoke set up and a bar full of various alcohols. Also the furniture is pushed out of the way and Zeke & Uriah's parents huge African vase is gone because if that vase broke they would be killed by their mom.
I walk over to the living room to find a sleeping Olivia being carried bridal style by Will over to the couch. As soon as Will sets her down Uriah plops down hard on her stomach causing Olivia to jolt awake letting out a huge burp making everybody jump.
"What the hell is wrong with you Uri" Olivia clutches her stomach in pain.
"Me what about that burb" Uriah pretends to fan away a foul smell.
"I wouldn't have burped if you weren't an ass and pounced on me" Olivia retorts "I always knew Zeke was the better brother" she gives a playful smirk.
"That hurts!" Uriah gives a look of hurt. We laugh and Olivia hugs Uri apologetically making everything better again.
"Come on girls we have to get ready before next year" Christina says in an impatient tone. I grab my bag and trudge up the Pedrad's spiral staircase.
"I am going to celebrate being single tonight" Olivia sing songs as she pulls shoes out if her tote. Everyone except me gives her shocked looks.
"You and Mason broke up" Christina practically shouts. Olivia nods plugging in her curling iron.
"WHY" Christina, Shauna, and Marlene shout at the same time.
"Certain reasons" Olivia says me and her exchanging a look. Christina looks between us but looks away dropping the subject which is rare for her. We continue to get ready. I put on a Jack Daniel's tank top with a coral skater skirt paired with white stilettos. I topped it off with a leather jacket. I straighten my hair and put on some makeup. We sit waiting for Lynn, Shauna's sister who showed up late, to finish her makeup.
"Come on you little prima donna!" Shauna shouts through the door.
"Don't rush perfection big sis" Lynn shouts back.
"Perfection" Shauna snorts sarcastically leaning against the door.
"I heard that!"
"You were supposed to you little snot now hurry" Shauna retorts.
"I'm done happy now" Lynn sneers as she emerges from the bathroom. Shauna sticks her tongue out at Lynn.
"You guys just love each other so much don't you" Olivia says sarcastically clasping her hands together. We walk downstairs to find the party in full swing.
"Hey look who finally decided to join the party" Zeke says coming over to us. He offers us drinks I decline. I will get shots later. Everyone else heads to the bar and I follow. Olivia goes to the dance floor with Christina and I sit at the bar next to Four. I look over at him scanning his defined features. I can see he and Olivia's similarities in the littlest of things. How they both have the same ears and long lashes. The same thick eyebrows, the same calac on their hairline that shows when they run their hands through their hair. I also see the differences: his eyes are a deep enchanting blue while Olivia's are a twinkling brown. He has a has a hooked nose while she's got a slightly pointed button-like nose. His crooked yet charming smile and her toothy and bright one.
Four must notice my staring because he smirks at me saying "like what you see"
I blush and look at away. Although I do like what I see. I hear my name being called I turn around to find Peter with a beer in hands.
"Hey Peter" I hug him. He smiles brightly and takes a seat next to me.
"I didn't know you were coming, you should've told me" I playfully punch his arm causing him to chuckle.
"You didn't tell me you were coming either" he retorts returning my playful punch.
"I know Zeke and Uriah who are hosting the party and if I didn't come I would just die. They are like siblings to me" I explain. He nods.
"So wanna drink, dance, both" Peter ask.
"Ummm drink then dance" I say after a mental debate.
"Let me go get you a beer" he says as he turns on his heels. Gross beer!
"No, no beer" I shout after him.
"What do you mean no beer" he asks confused.
"I only do hard liquor. You know vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, tequila" I say listing my favorite alcohols.
"Oh I see you're too good for all us beer folks" he says sarcastically waving his hand dismissively. I laugh.
"Well let me get you vodka then" he says putting emphasis on vodka. He reaches over the counter and pulls out a shot glass and a big blue bottle. He fills it up for me and then passes it to me. I down it the contents burning my throat. I down another while talking to Peter. What seems hours later the room is sorta fuzzy and my worlds are starting to slur.
"TRIS HELP" I hear from the other side of the room. I make my over to the voice. When I get over there I see a waisted Olivia and Zeke standing on a table slow dancing. Next to them is Shauna trying to get them down.
"Guys come down from there please" I beg/whine. They look at me with eyes clouded by alcohol and both get down from the table.
"What are you guys doing" I ask them.
"Dancing with Shauna" Zeke slurs putting an arm around Olivia. God he is so wasted he doesn't know who anyone is.
"Zeke that's not Shauna" I bring my palm to my face.
"Then where is she" he challenges.
"Behind yo-" I look behind him to find Shauna no where in sight. WTF she was right here.
Shauna POV
I walk around looking for my most likely wasted boyfriend, Zeke. I hear his laugh and walk in that direction. What I find angers and shocks me. Him standing on a table wasted slow dancing with Olivia. Him with his arms around her waist and her with her slimy arms around his neck and her head in his chest. I walk closer praying I am hallucinating. Nope they are still there, slow dancing on a table wasted. I knew was a home wrecking whore. She probably used the fact that he was drunk to seduce him or something.
I use the first thing that comes to mind "TRIS HELP" I shout maybe she can help end this nightmare. Later she comes over and sees what I see.
"Guys get down please" Tris asks them. They do what she says after a moment.
"What are you doing" Tris asks them.
"Dancing with Shauna" Zeke slurs putting an arm around the bitch's shoulder. She probably told him she was me. I storm off so done with this party. I walk over to a random hallway. I sit with my back against the wall. I close my eyes and hope I'm dreaming. Someone sits next to me and I look over at him, Mason, Olivia's ex. I have an idea.
