Dauntless Brothers

[Chapter 18] Shopping with Zeke.

I'm sitting in the living room doing my homework when the door opens and Zeke steps in saying. "Hey!"

I don't say anything and focus on my work. He flops down next to me and rests his arm on the couch's back and then asks.

"Why the glum mood?"

I sigh and reply. "I got Tris's trust and then I ruined it."

"That's it?!" He exclaims. I stare at him in disbelief.

"You just lost her trust. You can get it back. Whereas, my problem is bigger!" His logic makes no sense to me but I ask anyways.

"And what is your problem?"

He throws his hands up in the air, saying. "Shauna won't even look at me  let alone talk to me." I nod in understanding and then pick up the book, planning to go back to sudying but Zeke snatches it from my hand and throws it away.

"What now?" I ask, irritated.

"We have to go shopping for the dance." He tells me.

I get up from the couch to retrieve my book and say. "I don't feel like going and anyways I don't have a date."

"Maybe you will by then. And even if you don't want to buy anything just come along to help me pick my suit out." He tries to convince me.

I know there's nothing that will make Zeke change his mind, so I say. "Fine. Let's go."

After a few minutes we step into one of the shops that line the Pit. We make our way to the side which displays the clothing specially made for the dance.

Zeke at once starts going through the racks and I look around to see what else it there. I see that there is a shop right across from this one which sells furniture. Which reminds me that I broke my chair.

"While you look around do you mind if I go pick out a chair for myself?" I ask him.

He spins around to face me and asks. "Why do you need a chair?"

"I need one because I broke the chair in my room and I have to replace it." I explain. He agrees to let me go for a couple of minutes.

I at once see one that's identical to th chair that I used to have and ask the lady on duty to cut off my points for it. She goes off to the computer and I sit down on the chair to wait.

I hear footsteps rounding the corner and get up from my seat. But it's not the lady coming back. It's Eric and Max.

I take a deep breath and get ready to face them.

"What're you doing here?" Eric asks me.

"May I ask you the same question?" I ask him.

He peaks behind me and a smirk appears on his face. "Awwwww. You shopping for a new chair. But you already have one."

At the same time the lady appears behind them and she hands me back my card, saying. "The chair will be delivered to your apartment in fifteen minutes so make sure to recieve it." I nod and she leaves.

"What happened to your previous chair?" Eric pushes.

I know that ignoring him is no use so I simply say. "It broke."

"Mom and dad might be interested in this." He says but to me it's a threat for another beating.

I walk past him and go back to Zeke who's just coming out of the shop and is holding...

"Why do you have two bags?" I ask him.

"One's for me and the other's for you." He says, handing it to me.

"You bought a suit for me?" I ask surprised.

"You're going too. With a date or without one, I'm not leaving my bestfriend behind." He tells me and I smile as we hug because this is something that I don't get to experience often.

All I can say is that Insurgent was amazing! Words can't describe it. The ending might've been a bit different but there's no denying it that it was a seriously good movie.
