Wearing His Jersey

Chapter Twenty-One

Tris's P.O.V.

"So, why exactly can't you tell me where we're going? I mean, I usually like surprises, but I still want to know," I half-whined.

"We've been through this a million times," Four laughed. "It's a good surprise. Plus, your brother told me you've never been, which I think will make this even cooler."

"You know what would be cool?"

"What?"

"You telling me where we're going."

"All right," he said, pulling into a huge parking lot filled with cars. The ride was about twenty minutes, and we spent the whole time talking about fun little things. "We're here."

"Um." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? I can't see anything beyond trees and a paved path, with a bunch of cars." I paused, watching a family walk up the path laughing, and my curiosity got the better of me. I pulled the handle and pushed the car door open. "You know what? Come on." I closed the door and was joined in front of the car a few seconds later by Four. We began walking up toward the paved path, and I watched all the people around me, smiling and laughing with other people. I felt a small smile growing on my lips, and reached out to grab Four's hand. I glanced up at him - he still had a good two inches on me, even in heels - and he looked slightly shocked, but gave my hand a squeeze. I smiled, and turned back to face forward.

"Look at all the people," I whispered. "They all look so happy right now."

"Yeah," he said. "They do."

"So," I started. "Maybe you can tell me what it is they're going to see that's making them look so happy?"

"Sure. It's pretty cool, really. I've been here once before, had a blast. The—" He faltered and looked down at me. "Yeah, nice try." I laughed, and he did too.

"I thought I had you at first, but then I could tell you weren't going to say anything," I responded.

"You did have me at first. I almost told you, but then caught myself and decided to go on a bit." We began walking up a small hill on the path, and then suddenly the trees cleared out, and all I could see ahead of me was a ginormous park, filled with about a hundred rides, and all sorts of games. I gasped, and heard a small shriek. I turned around and saw behind me a young girl - maybe five years old - grinning and looking out at the carnival with wide, sparkling eyes. She was walking between her mother and father, and she was pulling each of them by one hand. I smiled and nudged Four. He turned to me and I gestured behind me with a nod in that direction. He followed my gaze and he laughed, then turned back to me.

"You know, I was watching your face when we came to the clearing. You looked a lot like her, but without the pulling people." I laughed and we arrived at a small stand where there was a short line of people paying a girl behind the window. There was a sign saying 'PASSES AND TICKETS' on the front of the stand. I let go of Four's hand and reached into my bag for some money, when he caught my elbow and said, "I've got this."

"No,—" I began arguing, but he just stepped forward in line and handed the lady a twenty.

"Two all-day passes, please."

She nodded and handed them to him with a small nod and he took my hand again, pulling me forward. I glared at him the whole time.

"I could've at least paid for myself, you know."

"I know," he responded and took my wrist. I held it out while he wrapped the plastic bracelet around my wrist and fastened it with a clip. Then, he handed the other bracelet to me and smiled dramatically at me. I sighed and could't help the grin forming on my face. I clipped the plastic around his wrist and thanked him. "I knew you wouldn't stay mad," he smirked.

"Whatever. Anyway, you've been here before. What should we do first?"

"Well, I like to get into the carnival mood with some games first. They're nearly impossible to win, but sometimes you do, and they're fun anyway."

"All right, where are the games?" I was antsy, shuffling around where I stood and grinning so much that I thought my face would hurt. Four was smiling, too, and I could see the excitement in his stance, though he looked calm if you didn't know him well enough. We'd spent the past two weeks talking and hanging out with our friends a lot. I looked at him as he gestured all around the park.

"They're everywhere. They're in between all the rides, and by the food stands, and just about anywhere."

"Okay," I said and nodded. "Let's go!" I began walking toward the first stand I saw that had someone yelling about how easy it is and all, not believing it, but wanting to try anyway.

"Hello," the woman smiled.

"Hi! How do I play?" I felt Four come up behind me, and heard his quiet smile.

"Well, you're just going to take these rings, and toss them onto the bottles, trying to get them to stay and not bounce off."

"Okay," I grinned. "How much is it?" The woman thought for a second, then said, "Nothing. You seem so excited to be here, and I don't want to charge money for that."

"Thank you!" I exclaimed as she smiled and brought two large bags full of red rings over to me, placing them in front of me on the short table. I took out a handful and gave them to Four, before taking a handful for myself. I tossed them, one after the other, missing every time. Four did the same thing, laughing each time one of his missed and cheering me on every time I missed.
