Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 5

    I pulled back up to our mansion in my car, taking the key out of the ignition. I grabbed my bags of clothes from pink, guess, and Nike before climbing out of the car and walking inside.
My mom was on another business trip, she's a neurological surgeon so she travels a lot for seminars and to give lectures at different colleges. My dad passed away when I was younger, so Zeke did as much as he could for Uri and I.
I groaned, Zeke was gonna yell at me. My head kind of hurt. To be honest, it was pounding.
I quietly opened the door, tip toeing. It was 7:30, so I'm sure he's in the family room or something.

I found my way to the marble staircase before quietly taking a step on the stairs.
"Beatrice Natalie Pedrad!" I heard a voice boom
I jumped before turning around with a sheepish smile.
"You were supposed to be home resting! You lied to me!" He said with annoyance.
I cringed.
"You sent shopping?" He asked incredulously.

"Yeah I'm fine," I said groaning.
"Leave her alone Zeke, she went and had fun, its fine," Uriah said from the other room.
I turned and ran up the stairs, sprinting to the third level to my room.

I put away all my new clothes before peeling Off my clothes and  showering.

After my shower I put on my pink pajama crop top and shorts from pink on.
My phone buzzed as I climbed into my big white sheeted bed.

I stared at the winky face in confusion before shutting off my phone. I pulled up my comforter and laid my head against my pillow before falling asleep.

Beep beep beep

I groaned, slamming my hand against the alarm clock. My mind still groggy with sleep.
I pulled myself out of bed my feet brushing the cold floor. I walked into my closet, searching for an outfit.
I pulled out a black crop top from Gucci and a pair of high waisted white shorts. I slid on a pair of black converse and walked to my makeup stand.

I quickly applied some eyeliner and mascara before topping it off with a pink lip gloss.

I rushed downstairs to the kitchen to fine Zeke and Uriah chowing down on pancakes. Our cook was cleaning up the pancake batter.
I grabbed a banana and a protein bar before kissing Zeke and Uriah on the cheek and saying goodbye.
"Bye ri," Zeke said.
"Bye Trissy," Uriah said throwing me my keys.
I grabbed my back pack before heading out of the house to my car.

I saw four, Chrissy, Marlene, will, shauna, Lauren, and four all waiting outside the door.
They waved at my and I smiled, walking to them.
Chrissy ran up to me, grabbing my arm. "Omg are you ready for cheer tryouts!!!! You're so going to get captain again this year. And you have football tryouts!!! You're gonna kill it!!!!" Chrissy squealed in my ear.

I smiled at Chris, walking with everyone into the school. We went to art class together and sat in our usual spots.
Our first few classes went by pretty quick. It was already lunch time. Our gang found a table in the middle of the lunchroom and sat down. My stomach kind of hurt, not a sick hurt but more of a nervous pain.
I was on edge all day about try outs. I really want the captain position on cheerleading, and I have to make the football team with my brothers.
I pushed away my plate and stared at my hands.
"You okay tris?" Zeke asked me with worry.
"I'm okay," I said trying to give a fake smile.
"Why aren't you eating?" Uriah asked.

"My stomach hurts a little bit," I said shrugging.

"Are you okay? Do you need to go to the nurse?" Ezi asked immediately.

"I'm just nervous," I said smiling slightly.

"Why are you nervous? You were our best player last year and you were the starting receiver as a freshman," will said with annoyance.

"I'm also nervous about cheerleading," I said pointing out the obvious.

"Seriously tris, you are amazing!" Chrissy squealed.

"Yeah, you will be the captain for sure, you were on the freaking national team last year!" Mar said giving me an annoyed look.

"Thanks guys," I said smiling.

"That's what best friends are for," shauna and mar said.

The rest of the day went by extremely fast and before I knew it, I was in the locker room changing with Christina.
"I'm so excited," Chrissy squealed.

"Me too, I hope we both make it," I said pulling off my outfit.

I but on some short cheer shorts and an adidas tank top.
We both pulled our hair up into buns before running out to the field.

All of the football boys were their, waiting on the bleachers. I started stretching with Christina. "Tris, I swear every guy has their eyes on you," she says glancing at the drooling boys.
"No they're probably looking at you," I said.
She laughed, " you're so gorgeous though. Every guy has the hots for you."
I felt my cheeks redden and I finished up my stretches.
Tori was judging cheer tryouts, along with a few other cheer coaches.
Me and Christina waited at the back of the line to do our performances. While we waited we warmed up a bit.
I practiced my standing full a few times to perfect it. Christina did a few back flips.
I glanced over at the boys. My eyes found fours and I smiled. His face reddened and he smiled back at me.
More Time passed and it was Christina's turn.
I cheered her on loudly. Her routine was excellent. After she was done I gave her a hug and smiled at her.
Then it was my turn.
I glanced back at Ezi and Uri who were clapping for me.

I stepped on the Matt and paused, waiting for my music.
I started off with a straddle jump and a split jump, perfecting both. Then I did a back handspring into a back tuck.
I lined myself up with the mat before doing my pass. I did a roundoff back handspring into a double layout with a front twist. I smiled and did a back handspring into a full. I had my spotter Erin come out and he lifted me into an elevator. I did a scorpion and then a needle. He let me down and I finished my routine.
Everyone went crazy, cheering and screaming. My breath came out raggid and heavy. The football players were whooping and clapping.
I sighed and high fived Chrissy.
I walked over to the football players and put in my gear over my clothes.
"That was awesome tris," will said.

"Proud of you lil sis," Uriah said throwing his arm over my shoulder.

"Thats was amazing," four said with a wink.
I felt my stomach flutter and I looked away, blushing.

I put my helmet on. I was substantially shorter than everyone else but it was an advantage. I was sneaky and fast. I'm extremely hard to tackle. We all ran out onto the field. Four pushed me playfully and I smiled.

They kicked off and I received the ball.
