Moments Interlinking With The Past

Chapter 13

Tris P.O.V
Today is Wednesday, the day when Haze and Gus, both will discuss their presentation. Four and I had presented ours on Monday and we both got an A*.

"Tris can you listen to our presentation after we have discussed it?" Haze asks standing by my room's door.

"Yeah sure." I said placing my headphone on the nightstand.

"Until, then you can-"

"I have invited Four to accompany me till then." I said cutting her off.

"Really you have invited your family's murderer to 'accompany' you."

"I had no option, all the girls were gone for shopping and you know I have many clothes," she nodded,"And all the boys excluding Four went to watch a movie. So I invited him."

"Okay I understand but do not create a mess. I am warning you." She says with her eyes wide.

"Are you still mad at the kitchen disaster?" I said suppressing my laughter.

"Yes.......And if you want to laugh, laugh." With that I burst into laughter, just then the door ball rang.

"I'll get it." Haze opens the door and Gus walks in with a file in his hand this reminded me of Caleb who used to rehearsed speeches infront of me and I used to make him laugh. This memory almost made me cry but I held my tears.

"Hi, Tris and Haze, how are you both?" He said.

"We both are fine and what about you, Gus?" Haze said leading the way to get room.

"I am fine." Haze sat on her bed while Gus sat on the chair beside it. "Tris if you want to join in you can," He says when he sees me by the door.

"No I am fine. Actually I invited Four over." The door bell rang, "That must be him."

I opened the door and it was, Four. I escorted him into the house. First, he met Gus and Haze. Then I led him into my room. I sat on my bed and he sat on the chair near the writing table.

"What you wanna do?" I ask.

"I don't know. You?" He said flipping  the pages of my sketch book. "Did you made this?" He said holding up a picture of a sunset.

"Yes I did." Feeling proud of my piece of art.

"I didn't knew that you are such a great artist." He said placing my sketchbook on the desk.

"And you a great cook." I reply.

"Thanks, so........what now?"

"Wanna play UNO?" I said taking the box of cards from my drawer.

"Yes." We both sat down on the carpeted floor and start playing.

It's been past 5 games and I haven't won any of them. I am getting angry, this time I will win. I will............And............ I don't. Anger rushes in my veins. Soon my face starts to get red.

"Is little Trissy getting angry?" He mocks.

My hands are now formed in fists. "I.......am........not.........ANGRY!" I shout.
And I throw the cards at his face.

"You are not going to get away with this," He says.

"And what if I did." I run to my bed and take a pillow for self defence. He tries to get the pillow away from me, I keep my grip tight on it due to the pulling from both sides, the pillow rips apart and we both fall to the ground.

As I start to get up I notice someone's feet near my head. I look up to see Haze with the same look she had on the day of the flour battle.

I stand on my feet and realize my whole room is covered in cotton particles.

"Now, look what you both have done." She says looks at me and Four. We both look at our feet with embarrassment.

"I came here to tell you that our presentation is ready and for the rehearsal you both will be our audience." She said, my face lights up with a smile and an idea comes in my head.

"Okay, we are coming," She leaves the room, I tell Four my idea we both grin at each other and go to the living room.

Haze and Gus stood infront of us and I signalled Four to put our plan to work. As they both start, I and Four make the most silliest faces, eventually making both of them laugh.

As they stop laugh, Haze asks me to talk to her. She takes me into her room.

"Tris, what are you doing?" She sounds upset.

"I was just having some fun."

"If you want to have fun go out for a while with Four."

"Thank you for giving me freedom." I said shaking her hand.

After my conversation with Haze, Four and I left the apartment. Soon we were walking through the streets.

"What do you have in mind?" I say.

"Let's go to the park."

"Okay......Let's go!"

We both went to this park which was near the Amity Sector. When we reached there we played 'Tag' with the other children. It brought so many memories back from childhood. It was almost sunset when my phone buzzed.

Haze- You can come now the work is done.
Me- I will be there in 20 minutes.

Four and I parted our ways. I went home and saw Haze cleaning my room.

"Hey, thanks for cleaning my room," I said hugging her.

"Next time I won't allow you to bring anyone in this house," She said with a straight face.

"Why?"

"Because when your friends come over you usually behave like a child."

"It's fun to behave like a child," I said sitting on my bed.

"Whatever." And she went into her room.
