Chapter 13 Four's POV
827 Words
I walk into the cafeteria and sit in between Zeke and Uriah.
Soon Tris and her friends, Shauna, Lynn, Marlene, and Christina all walk over.
"Mind if we sit?" Tris asks.
Zeke and Uriah scowl but quickly stop when they both see someone behind Tris.
I can't tell who however.
"Sure." I say.
Tris, Shauna, Marlene, and Christina sit across from us.
Lynn sits next to Uriah.
"So Tris I was wondering if you could come over after school? We haven't shopped in forever!" Christina says.
"Can't, working with Four on our projects remember?" Tris answers.
Christina looks from Tris to me.
"Ohhh, I see." She says smirking.
"So what's going on with you two?" Marlene asks.
"Nothing!" Tris says quickly.
"Really? Nothing at ALLL? Because he's been there past dinner everyday. And you were finished with work I presume." Shauna says.
"Nothing going on, since I'm there late I have dinner with her, and then I pack up and go home. Nothing is going on." I plainly say as if fact.
No one looks convinced, not even Tris whose face is now bright red.
"So no adding? Or multiplication?" Uriah asks.
Lynn punches his arm.
"We don't do ma-" Tris starts.
I give her a look and mouth 'That's not what he meant'.
She looks confused, then realizes.
Her face turns a darker red and she rapidly shakes her head.
"I'm getting dessert. Anyone want something?" I ask changing the subject.
"No thanks." The girls say in unison.
"CAKE!" Zeke and Uriah scream.
"I wasn't asking you!" I say.
"Right, you were asking Tris?" Zeke questions, but more states.
"No, I was being polite to the nice people at our table. Stupid annoying people don't get anything." I say getting in line for cake.
Revenge.
No you like her.
Revenge.
Love.
Revenge.
Friends.
Revenge.
More than friends.
Revenge.
You actually like her.
You hate her.
Like.
Hate.
Like.
Hate.
Like.
Ha-
I was so caught in my thoughts I hadn't realized I got my cake and walked back to the table.
Tris sits still bright red.
Uriah and Lynn are surprisingly bickering.
Christina and Marlene gossip about an OTP and giggle.
Shauna chats with Zeke.
"So Prom?" Christina asks like it's an obvious question.
"What about it?" Zeke asks.
"Who are you gonna ask? I mean it's kinda tradition for the boy to ask the girl. And I don't know who you love but whoever it is you better ask fast because they will probably be asked a million times." Christina asks.
"I'm not going." I say.
Marlene and Christina gasp.
"YOU HAVE TO!" They scream.
"I don't really like any girls enough to ask them to buy a fancy dress, then go on a sweaty dance floor and get really close while listening to loud music and trying to have a conversation over everyone else's." I explain.
Their jaws all drop, but Christina quickly shakes it off.
"But you just, have to! It's so much fun! And you only get one more chance to get it perfect." She says.
I notice Uriah and Zeke giving me looks.
"Fine" I say.
Revenge.
"ummm." I start.
"Tris, wanna go to prom?" I ask.
"I guess." Tris responds surprised.
"Wow, that was the most romantic thing I've ever seen." Zeke says sarcastically.
"Well what can I say, I have tons of experience. Besides we're just going as friends." I say.
"Whatever." Zeke says.
"Ah ah ah!" I say waving a finger.
"If I go, you go!" I say.
"Ok, ummm" Zeke looks around.
"Shauna, would you like to go to prom with me?" Zeke asks.
"Of course!" She says.
She begins to stutter.
"I-I-I m-mean ya sure." She covers.
"Smooth." Lynn says sarcastically.
"Uriah." I say raising an eyebrow at him.
"Oh, uh." He looks around.
"Can I talk to you in private?" He asks me walking into the hallway.
I follow and meet him out there, leaning against the wall.
"Wassup?" I ask.
"I don't know who to ask. Ask a friend and they may get the wrong idea and it'll be awkward. Ask my crush and possibly be heartbroken when they say no." he explains.
"IF they say no!" I say.
"And I believe you should do what your heart says." I say.
"You've been watching too much Hallmark." Uriah says.
"Whatever, just take a risk and ask your crush. Or go with a friend, it may be more fun." I say.
'O-ok" Uriah says.
We walk back in the cafeteria.
"Umm, Mmmm" He drags the letter out.
"Llllll" He again drags out the letter.
"CHRISTINA!" He shouts.
Uriah quickly clears his throat.
"Christina, would you like to go to prom?" Uriah asks.
"OF COURSE!" She squeals.
"YAY! We're going to prom!" She says to Tris.
"Ya with friends, but still cool!" Tris says looking disappointed.
"So, now we just need to find dresses." Shauna brings up.
"DRESS SHOPPING!" Christina squeals.
The bell rings.
THANK GOD!
