Chapter 20

Tris' POV

I'm so bored.

Like so ridiculously bored.

Caleb and I are currently having a Star Wars movie marathon.

"This is so boring! I've seen these movies like a hundred times. Let's do something fun." I complain while stuffing my mouth with popcorn.

"Sorry, Bea. I have to take a range check. I'm taking Susan out for lunch."

"Ughhh." I whine. "You suck."

"I'll see you later sis." He kisses the top of my head and leaves out the front door.

Caleb probably forgot something because right after the door closes, there is a knock on the door.

I spot his phone in the living room table and pick it up.

"Hey, I forgot my phone-"

"Here. I hand it to him.

"Thanks!" He says.

I spot Tobias walking down the street and I have to squint my eyes to make sure it is him.

"What are you doing here?" I shout.

"What?!" He shouts.

"What are you- do you know what, never mind don't answer that."

When he reaches the front porch he smiles.

"What?" I ask him. He looks too suspicious.

"Nothing. You doing anything right now?" He asks me.

"Yes." No.

"What?" God damn it.

"You know. I was just watching a movie with Caleb." I was boring myself to death.

"But he just left." He points to the car that is no longer in the driveway.

"Why are you here anyways?" I change the subject.

I like Tobias and all but I like to spend time alone once in a while. Oh my god, who am I kidding I'm so freaking bored and Tobias is so hot right now. Hm, it would feel nice if his arms were wrapped around me. When he kissed me yesterday, God when he kissed me. It was the best thing in the world.

"Tris?"

"Huh? You have nice lips." I blurt. I mentally face palm myself for saying that out loud.

"What?" He furrows his eyebrows but then I watch his face as it slowly turns into a smirk. "Nice lips, eh?"

"Shut up. You still haven't answered my question, what are you doing here?"

"Well since you must be having the time of your life alone in this house-" he exclaims sarcastically, "then you wouldn't mind if I took you out for the day."

"Sure." I say plainly.

"You serious?" He must be surprised I even said yes.

"Did you not hear me? I said yeah, I'll come with you."

He clears his throat. "Kay cool." He tries to act casual but desperately fails. He rests on his arm on a wooden stand but it ends up slipping bringing him down with it.

I laugh out loud at his clumsiness.

"I know I shouldn't be laughing, but are you okay?" I offer my hand, but that would probably have no use because I'm super weak. But he takes it anyways and pushes himself up.

"Mhm. I'm fine." He brushes himself off.

"You're adorable." I say with a smile on my face.

I tell him I'm going to go grab something quickly. I run up to my room and grab my phone and quickly change into something appropriate instead of my pajamas and go back down.

"Kay, ready. Where are we going? I ask him.

"Carnival. It's only a quarter mile walk so I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind." I say. "I know I said this, but you did really well yesterday. I'm so proud of you."

He smiles. "Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. I'm so glad you were even able to make it."

"Yeah. I just couldn't get enough of you." I express sarcastically.

"Obviously. I'm fabulous." He poses and frames his face with both hands with giving a huge exaggerated smile.

"Don't get your panties in a twist. Your not that amazing. There can only be one fabulous person in this relationship of ours and its me."

He smirks at the comment. "Relationship, eh?"

"Not that relationship!" I defend regretting my terminology of saying "relationship". "You wish." I scoff.

"Mhm."

We arrive to the carnival a mere five minutes later and walk up to the front to purchase tickets.

I buy fifty tickets for the games and food because I happened to beat Tobias to it.

"That's cheating! You said Beyoncé was behind me." He exclaims.

"And you actually believed me. If she was actually here than in sure there would be a swarm of people trying to get to her. And plus, you're just gullible."

"I am not! You tricked me!"

"Hey Tobias?" A sly smile makes it way to my face.

"Did you know if you say gullible really slowly it sounds exactly like orange." I ask.

"Really? Or-ange. Gullllll-i-bllleee"

I laugh really loudly. "You're a genius." I exasperate.

"Wait..." He stops. "You tricked me! It doesn't."

I roll my eyes. "Sure." I pat him on the back.

I find a bumper car place and drag Tobias with me. After handing the man tickets, Tobias and I each get our own car.

We hear a buzzer signaling that we may now start driving. Tobias bumps my car several times laughing as he does.

"Come on Trissy, you actually have to move the car."

My car is not agreeing with me right now.

"I'm sorry Mr. I'm-already-sixteen-and-have-my-drivers-license, but unlike some people, I'm not even fifteen and a half yet." Just as I say it, I finally am able to get my car to move and bump into Tobias' car.

"Cute."

We leave after the time is out and keep walking around to do something else.

"You want to go on the Ferris wheel?" I ask him.

"No."

"Please? Please, pleaseeeeee?"

"Tris, I really don't want to."

"Tobias it's not even like fifty feet tall. It won't be that bad." I try to convince him.

"Fifty feet my ass. I'll stay here, you can go." He sits on a bench and looks at me expectingly.

"I'll do anything."

He seems to think about the offer for a while.

"Okay."

"Yay! What do you want?" I ask.

"You owe me a kiss. Right here." He points to his lips.

I bite my lip. It is a fair trade. I do like kissing him.

"Okay, let's go." The line is around ten minutes we we just stand and talk to each other for that time. We get to the front, I hand the person five tickets.

We are put into a cart with a sliding door.

"Holy. What if the door slides open and we fall out? Tris. Tris. We are going to die. Oh my gosh, I am going to die. This is it."

"Oh you're such a wuss. Nothing bad is going to happen." We start to rise and Tobias' grip seems to tighten every few seconds. His eyes are squinted shut and lips pressed into a line.

"Tobias, open your eyes. It's not that bad." He refuses and I sigh.

"If you open them, I'll give you another kiss." In a flash, his eyes open wide and he stares at me with a smile.

"Okay, deal." We get to around to wheel three times and I feel Tobias relaxing besides me as I talk my mouth out. He needs to be distracted from fear.

"Look. You can see the whole carnival from here." I point out. We are at the very top and I show him all the different rides we should go on later and how everyone looks so small from up here.

"See it isn't too bad." I say softly.

"Yeah, it's actually nice." Feeling his fingers entwine with mine, I blush a little. I look up and see him staring out the cart. I grab his chin and bring his lips to mine. He feels so good. Both my hands fist his shirt while he instinctively wraps his arms around mine. The kiss is so slow and full of passion, it makes my stomach turn- in the good way. His hands slide up to cup my cheek.

Just as he pulls me closer towards him, I hear the cart being slide oped. I pull away quickly and smooth down my hair while trying to even my breaths.

"That's one." I whisper into his ear.

I skip away and when I turn around he's still sitting in the cart with a stupid smile on his face.

"You're such an idiot!" I throw a French fry at his face.

"No, I'm being strategic."

"Idiot." I mutter under my breath.

"Oh come on! I know you love me, you're just afraid to admit it."

"Says the narcissistic bastard." I smile. "You're too wrapped in your own world to actually see what's going on. But you see, I'm flawless." I pose dramatically causing him to laugh.

"I'm not narcissistic!" He defends.

"Remember in eighth grade when Chris and I caught you talking to yourself in the mirror? Exactly how long do you stare at yourself in the reflection everyday, Tobias?" I smile in triumph when he doesn't respond.

"That has nothing to do with it!"

"You didn't answer the question, Toby."

"Ew, don't call me that." I watch his face as it turns into as scowl.

"Okay hot shot. Let's get onto one more ride and then head back home." I throw away our trash.

When I walk back to him, he offers his hand and k reluctantly take it. I feel a jolt happiness when that little act of warmth feels like it swallows me whole and consumes me. Little does he know, he has such an effect on me.

"Where do you want to go, Toby?"

He scowls at me. "Screw the ride. How about I show you what a true man is white my awesome masculinity and strength."

"Again with the narcissism." I say under my breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing." I say too quickly.

I don't know what it's called, but he drags me to the stand when one must use this large hammer like thing to hit and thing and the thing does up determining how hard you hit it. Wow, I really don't know what it's called.

I raise my eyes bites at him. "This is so cliché. Like I swear, we could be living in a movie." He hits the platform and it goes up almost all the way.

"Gosh dammit!"

"Oh you wuss, even I could have gotten it." I hand the person our last few tickets and take the hammer from Tobias.

"Exhibit A." I gesture to the platform. "This is how I felt when you dated Lauren. Exhibit B, this is what I felt when you dated Lauren." I slam the hammer into the platform and it rings the bell when it reaches the top. "Nailed it." *drops microphone and walks away* in my head is what I'm imagining.

"Oh you hotshot, isn't as hot as you thought. Holy crap, I just rhymed. Anyways," I ask the man for the giant stuffed unicorn. He hands it to me.

"Thank you."

I hand Tobias the unicorn. "Here's a magical creature."

"You're so mean to me."

"But you love me anyways." I wink at him.

He says a snarky comment under his breath which just causes me to laugh.

"Thank you. I had a lot of fun today." I tell him when we walk back to my house. Throughout the day, we went through most of the rides and played a few games.

"Me too. I'll see you at school tomorrow." He says.

"I'll see you."

He starts to walk away.

"Wait!" He stops walking and turns to me. I run up to him and give him a quick peck on the lips.

"That's two." I give him a quick smile before running back inside to my house. I peek out the window and see him standing there with a goofy smile, the one I see on him after I kiss him.

"What are you smiling about?" The voice startles me and I put my hand over my heart and gasp.

"You scared the shit out of me." I tell my idiotic brother.

"You didn't answer my question." I see him holding a bag if Cheetos on one hand and a TV remote on the other.

"Nothing." I say. "Just nothing."

A/N: Okay, I need to ask you something. I'm about making a blog. I don't know, I think it's something I'd probably like to do. I think the main purpose is for like an online little "rant" page. I don't know, I feel like every fangirl, I should say, has their own story and I think it would be fun to share them. Wow, that sounds really corny, but I have problems of my own, and I feel like there are so many fangirls out there who give out really good advice and we don't really take advantage of that. My own friends had like depressing problems and we didn't really share them until it was too late, we never got to help each other that much. I feel like a blog would be able to help communicate with each other. Tell me if that's corny (it probably it), but I put a lot of thought into. I also really like to get to know some of you guys better. So yeah. Sorry if you think it's lame. Tell me what you think. Blogs sound stupid, but I sort of think meh, otherwise. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. I wasn't going to upload this chapter until Wednesday because that's official a year ago when I started writing fanfic. It's been a great year. Anyways, have a nice day and please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
