Effulgent

Chapter 12

TOBIAS POV

Tris said she needed to talk to her friends about our relationship.They're her friends after all. She needs to tell them, like I wanna tell mine. I open the door to my apartment to find Zeke and Shauna seated on my couch, as expected. By the looks on their faces, I can tell that they're waiting for me. Zeke looks up. Here goes nothing.

"FOUR!!!" He screams at me."Where were you? Where are all our leaders?"

"Chill, Zeke. Sit, I'll tell you everything from top to bottom." I say and he sits down.

I explain everything that happened in the past 2 days and my relationship with Tris.

"Oh my god!! A war?!" Shauna looks alarmed.

"Exactly. A war."I tell her.

"Thank god, man. A war is the last thing I need. Tris is a genius!!" He tells me. I smile.

"Speaking of Tris, you and her, huh? Perfect." Shauna tells.

"Yeah, I thought you swore to yourself that never in your life, you'll get a girlfriend?" Zeke asks.

"Now it's like, pssh, yeah right." Shauna says.

"I like the ring of ' Four has a girlfriend' " Zeke says. I have a girlfriend. I grin.

"Look, our friend has even learned to grin." Shauna says." Oh seriously, Zeke look at that face."

We all laugh.
