Zeke POV
Last night, we snuck Tris into her room and Tobias into mine.
It's around 9am and Uriah and I are downstairs listening to the conversation that the parents are having with Tobias. He convinced them to let Tris wake up on her own.
"Well, good morning, princess." Uriah says.
I turn around and see Tris standing there, rubbing her eyes.
She walks into the other room and I hear her and mom have a heart to heart moment.
"Bro, can you believe that they spent the night in a hotel room together without killing each other?" Uriah says.
"Yes and no. Tobias knows that if anything bad happened to Tris under his watch, we would kill him. I'm surprised she didn't lash out on him though." I say.
"I wish they got along more." Uriah says. "Everything would be a lot easier and less stressful."
"Yeah." I say.
A couple days later
"Oh Tris!" Christina sings.
"What?" Tris asks.
"Homecoming is in exactly 4 weeks. Time to go dress shopping!" She says.
"No thanks." Tris says.
"Uh, yes!" She says. "Everyone else is already going. Even Lynn!"
"Fine, when?" Tris asks.
"This Saturday!" Christina squeals.
Chris sits down next to Tris and Will and starts talking about how excited for homecoming she is.
"Ok boys! Are you guys so excited to put looking for tuxes and suits! I cant wait to do my hair all nice and pamper myself before the dance before we go pick our wonderful gals up!" Uriah mimics.
Us guys all start laughing so hard at his impression of Christina.
Will falls out of his seat and Tobias bangs his hand against the table. I think I almost just peed myself.
"Haha guys, you're so funny." Christina says.
Lynn snorts and Tris fights a smile.
"Oh, I'm totally in Uri." Tobias says. "Maybe we could put some makeup on and paint our nails pretty pink."
We starts laughing harder but stop when we see that Chris doesn't think this is funny.
"Have fun being single for the dance." She says.
"What? I never said anything!" Will says. "Chris come on. It was a joke."
"Do you see me laughing?" Chris asks.
"No, but it was funny." Will says. "Are you really not gonna go with anyone to the dance?"
"I'm not going alone." She says.
"Well who are you going with?" He asks.
"You." She says.
"But you just said," he says.
"Hun, that was a joke. Learn to take a joke." Chris says.
We start laughing at Will and teasing him.
"Nice one, Chris." Shauna says.
"At the moment, I'm going to the dance alone until someone asks me." Mar says.
"Mar we've been dating for four years and you're still gonna make me ask you to a dance?" Uriah asks.
"Of course I'm making you ask! What else is gonna keep our love life entertaining and spicy!" Mar says.
