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

Chapter 22

"Guys I'm tired." Someone says from across the room. I let my eyes open and I take in my surrounding. From the looks of it, we are halfway through Avengers now and someone turned off the lights.  

"What?" I attempt to say, but my mouth is closed. 

Someone starts laughing. "Ha Tris. You fell asleep." 

I just look across the room all confused. Sleep is still clouding up my brain. "What?" I try again. This time I actually open my mouth, but the comment still doesn't make sense.

Suddenly, something under me jolts, like they got startled. I lift my head up to figure out what that was. I see the light from the Tv reflect off of Tobias's now open eyes. I must have fell asleep with my head on his chest. Then, he must have fallen asleep. "What time is it?" Tobias mutters.

A phone screen lights up from someone across the room. "It's 4:30" I think Zeke is the one who says that.  "Every one is out but me Chris, and now you two." 

"Zeke?" I question just to make sure that is who I am talking to. 

"Yes?" Alright so I am talking to Zeke. "Who else would I be?" 

"Tris has a hard time waking up." Tobias defends. I let out a sigh and set my head back down on his chest. He brings one of his arms around my back and rests it on my side. 

"I can tell." Zeke jokes. 

"Whatever." I sigh into Tobias shirt. 

"What happened to staying up all night?" Christina asks. 

"It's hard to stay awake through movies. Especially at 4 in the morning." Tobias defends. I can fell his chest vibrate as he talks. 

"I have an idea." Zeke whispers. "We will leave Uriah, Will, Marlene and Shauna asleep. Just because they are already asleep. Lets go upstairs and do something." 

"I don't think I can stay awake though." I mutter. 

"That is because you ate too much candy." Christina laughs. I let my brain flash back to the few hours before I fell asleep. I really did eat a lot of candy. 

"That's okay." Tobias encourages. At least he doesn't frown at me for eating all that candy. Most boys would be grossed out. "Toss me the Mountain Dew on the table." 

Zeke reaches over and picks up the last small can of Mountain Dew. He tosses it in our Direction. Tobias catches it and opens it. He takes a swig and then hands it to me. "This will wake you up. It has a lot of caffeine." I take the Mountain Dew and take a drink. 

We all wait a little bit before we go upstairs. I needed to finish my soda, and Zeke wanted to find a blanket for Shauna. Zeke finds a blanket and carefully covers Shauna. "I have to come back down here before she wakes up." Zeke says to us. That is sweet. He wants to be there when she wakes up. They just need to go out already. 

I stand up and set my empty can on the table. "Let's go." I say. Now that the caffeine is kicking in, I can stay awake for more than ten minutes at a time.

Christina leads the way upstairs. "I have an idea." Christina shouts. "Even though I have a tiny house, there is a pool in the backyard." 

"It's like almost winter though. Its cold out." Zeke complains. That's a party pooper move right there. 

"No. We are doing this." I tell Zeke. "Chris will we wake up your parents?" To be honest, I completely forgot about her parents until just now. I have not seen them all night. 

"Nah. They went out of town this weekend." Christina smiles. "Come on." 

In that moment we charge into Christina's backyard. The pool sits in the middle of her yard. The clean water reflects the moonlight. Since it is so late, most of the lights in the neighborhood are turned off. With there being no lights, massive amounts of starts dot the sky. It truly is beautiful.
