Alternate Reality: Life in a High School (Divergent Fanfic)

Chapter 11

I fell asleep on the ride home, and I forgot how uncomfortable cars are. I stayed passed out until we arrived at Zeke's house. The car turning off is what woke me up. "Alright, just so you know, Christina is going to kill you. Your phone has been blowing up while your asleep." Tobias tells me when he notices that I am awake. 

"I figured." I whisper. The feeling of the oncoming fight with Christina gives me chills. 

"You just need to be careful Tris and you will be fine." Tobias reassures me with a smile. 

"Yeah, tell her you were tired and that you were asleep in the car." Zeke says from upfront. He pulls himself out of the car. I let out a sigh and look out the window to see Uriah's car pull into thhe massive driveway. 

"Alright here we go." I say under my breath. I continue to watch the car pull in. 

"Hey look at me." I turn my head to Tobias. He gently grabs my head and pulls my forehead to his forehead. "You will be alright. She won't be that mad for too long. Alright?" 

Once I nod my head he turns and gets out of the car, leaving me wanting more. No, what am I saying. He doesn't like me. 

I close mt eyes and clear my thoughts, once I open them I am focused on telling dealing with Christina. I push my door open and slide out of Zeke's car. 

As soon as I lay my foot on the  pavement, I hear footsteps running over. I keep my head down as I stand up. "Tris what is your problem recently." She growls at me. I look up and see her standing right there with her arms crossed. I want to give the situation a little bit, so I slam Zeke's car door and walk past her. I just need to get my car keys and get out of here. "Really Tris? Your acting like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum." She runs after me. 

"I'm not the one yelling and insulting you. I'm perfectly calm right now." I stop walking and turn to face her. "And why do you care what's going on with me Christina? We have only known each other for what? Like a week?" 

The glare that I am getting from her slices through me like a guillotine. "Tris. I like Will, and you are just scaring him away. You wouldn't like it if I did that to Four would you?" Her words cut through me. 

"Me and him are not a thing Christina." I let out a small laugh. "I honestly don't like Will. We just don't get along." 

"1. Well, everyone knows that you and your little boy toy are becoming a thing Tris. It is obvious. 2. Can you just try to get along with him Tris. For me?" Her tone softens at the last part of that sentence. I can tell she really likes Will. 

"Okay whatever." I can't believe she said that about Tobias. I really want to punch her as hard as I can right now, but I wouldn't do that. I turn around and I don't wait for her to respond. 

"Tris wait!" She calls after me, but I am already in the house. When I walk in, I notice Zeke pressed up against the front window, in order to listen to the conversation. I turn to him. "Zeke, stop. Where is my stuff? I have to get home." 

"URIAH!" He yells. Uriah runs down the stairs followed by Tobias and Will. 

"Ohhh! what happened?" Then, Uriah looks at me. "Oh, hey Tris." 

I roll my eyes. "Have you seen my stuff?" 

"You didn't bring anything Tris." Tobias tells me. I notice Will laughing at me. He has no idea how much he is bugging me right now. 

"Yes I did. My brother's beanie, and my car keys." I tell him. I really don't want to go home and deal with my brother yelling at me for losing his hat. 

"Oh yeah, You left them on the couch." Tobias refers to the couch that I was sleeping on this morning. 

"There are just too many couches in this house. I can barely find my way to the kitchen without getting lost." I laugh. 

"I got it." Uriah rushes off to find the couch. 

I notice Will staring at me. "What's your problem?" I ask. 

"Where did Christina go?" He asks me. I notice Tobias looking at me in the corner of of my eye. 

"How am I supposed to know? She probably went home." I step aside and open the front door. I wave my hands out the door to show that is where she was last. He glares at me and walks out the door. 

"Found them!" Uriah rushes back in ans spares me from having to endure an lecture from Tobias or Zeke about yelling at Will. 

"Thank you!" I tell him as he tosses my keys, and my brother's beanie. I pull it onto my head and turn to walk out the door. "Thank you guys for having me over." 

I rush out of the house and over to my car. I press the button on my keys that unlocks my car. When I hear the car doors unlock, I pull open the door. I turn around to get into my car, but I can see Tobias running toward me. "Trying to sneak up on me again?" I smile.

"Not at all. I need to do something." I watch him as he runs to his car and throws himself into the passenger side of the car. When he gets out, he has a sharpie in his hand. He rushes over to me and comes close to me. As he gets closer, I back up until my back is against my car. He continues to get closer until his feet are touching my feet. "How long will you have the cast on?" 

"Another week and a half. The fracture was not that bad. Even if I don't get it off by then, I will be sawing it off my arm. Why?" I ask him. 

"Let me draw on your cast. You can always paint over it." He says to me. 

"Don't you think that is a little childish?" I as him. I notice a whole lot of Dauntless kids and school have casts, and none of them are colored on. 

"Tris. Come on." He pleads. 

"Fine." I mutter. I will find a way to cover it though even if it looks cool. He picks up my arm that has the cast on it and pulls up the sleeve of my hoddie. He turns my arm over, and starts to draw on the part where my wrist is with his gold sharpie. 

After what feels like forever, Tobias lets my arm down and puts the cap on the sharpie. I pull up my cast up to my face and I look at it.  I see that he drew fire that goes all the way up my cast. I look down to when the cast just ends and it says: Stay Brave. "The fire represents Dauntless." He smiles. 

"Thank you." I smile. I thought it would look terrible, but the fire looks incredible. 

"Your welcome Tris." He steps a little closer.  I rap my arms around his stomach. He does the same to me. "Remember to stave brave. Nobody will hurt your family. I won't let it happen." He lets go of me and steps away. "See you Monday." 

I climb into my car, close the door, and push my key into the ignition. I watch Tobias as I pull out of the driveway. I can't stop thinking about him the entire ride home. I think that I just have to accept that I like him. 

I get home around 5pm, and I rush inside with Caleb's GPS, that I almost left in the car. "There it is! I have been looking all over for that." He comes toward me and takes the GPS from my hands. "That is mine too." He take the beanie right off my head. 

"Nice to see you too Caleb." I tell him. He doesn't even respond to that. He is such a jerk sometimes. 

I march upstairs to my room close the door. I don't waist anytime in trying to go to bed. I am so tired, and I had a long day. My parents shouldn't come wake me up unless something is wrong. I might actually get to sleep in this time.

I know this chapter is bad. I am sorry. The next one will be ten times better. I have it planned out. I just have to find the time to write it. :)
