Divergent High {IN EDITING}

Chapter 51

Tris POV: Later Saturday night
I wake up. It's 7:30. I hear knocking on the door. I decide not to wake Christina up. So I open the door.
I see my friends. All except three.
Marlene, Tobias, and Uriah.
"Hey Tris. Are you ok?" Shauna asks pulling me into a hug.
They hold up 6 tubs of ice cream and I grin.
"Aw. See there it is. There it is! Now go get some spoons love. We are gonna eat ice cream like no tomorrow, love." Shauna says.
"Thanks." I say.
I walk to the kitchen to get some spoons. I hear footsteps behind me and I turn around.
It's Zeke.
"Are you sure you are ok?"
I look at him.
"Y-no. No I'm not ok."
He walks over and hugs me.
I cry into his shirt for five minutes.
Then I hear someone yell, "How long does it take you to find some damn spoons!?!?"
I laugh.
"You wait for the damn spoon, or get no damn spoon!" I yell back.
I grab the spoons and take it back to them.
"What the fuck? Why are the spoons so big?" Peter asks.
I giggle.
"I want to get in the pool!" I shout.
"But we don't have our bathing suits." Will says.
"Leave that to me." I say.
I run go the runway room and grab four bikinis and four swim trunks.
I give them the bathing suits keeping the fourth bikini for myself.
I change in to it.
It's purple with white polka dots.
The top is strapless. I put swim shorts over the bottom.
I put my head into a pony tail. I run outside and cannonball into my pool.
Everyone jumps in after me.
All the girls go on one side and the boys stay on the other.
"Girl. Time to move on. Luke seems like a good option." Lynn says.
"I don't think--" I am cut off.
"Oh so Luke isn't a good option."
"I didn't say that."
They laugh and I giggle.
I hear a knock at the door. So I get out of the pool, dry myself, put the towel down, and go open the door.
I open it to see Uriah.
His face is splotchy.
"Hey Tris."
"Hey Uriah. Need a hug?"
He nods. I wrap my arms around him.
"I thought..." He starts but trails off.
"I thought the same thing."
"I think it hurt both of us badly."
"Yea but now they are together."
I realize we are still hugging and pull back.
We are 6 inches apart.
He closes it. He is kissing me.
He pulls back.
"I'm sorry." He says.
"It's ok."
I hand him the fourth swim trunk and he goes to change.
His lips were soft, warm, and embracing.
I stop myself.
I walk back to the pool and jump in.
"So back to what we were talking about." I say.
"Luke?" Shauna says.
"Christina? Can I talk to you? I ask her.
She nods and I take her to the sideline of the pool.
As if on cue Uriah wakes out and pulled Zeke away from the group.
"Uriah kissed me." I say.
She squeals. Everyone looks at us.
"I think we need to get Chrissy some food." I say. I jump out of the pool and pull Christina out.
"My mom wants Zeke to call her. Come on Zeke." Uriah says. He pulls Zeke out of the pool and follows us.
They go to the living room and we go to the kitchen.
I order pizza.
"Really?!?!" She squeals.
"Yes."
"OMFG!! So cute."
"I liked it."
She smiles and I blush.
I hear voices coming from the living room.
Christina and I put our ears to the living room.
"I kissed her and I liked it." Uriah says.
"I think you like her." Zeke says.
"Me too."
"You think it's because Marlene is gone."
"Yea, I want to ask Tris out but I don't want to hurt her."
"Come on maybe we should go help Christina and Tris."

I look at Christina and she looks at me.
We run to the fridge and pull out all the ice cream.
They walk in.
We smile at them and they smile back.
"Zeke, can you help me ask our friends if they want any milkshake?" Christina says.
"But why would you...Oh! Yea. Ok! Sure! Come on!" He exclaims and they walk out.
I look at Uriah and he smiles at me.
Christina comes running back.
"They want it!" She shouts and then runs back.
I laugh.
"I see you told Chris about the kiss. I told Zeke."
"I can't keep anything from her. Sorry."
"No, no. It's ok. Did you hear the conversation? That Zeke and I were having?"
"No." I say lying.
"Tris. I know you and Chris were listening. That's why Zeke suggested we come help you." He says chuckling.
"Are you serious? About the...you know dating me? And still like Marlene?"
"Yes and maybe."
I sigh.
"I don't want to hurt you. And I know you still like Four." He says.
"I know. You're a good...What are we?" I say laughing.
"Friends with Benefits." He says chuckling.
"Haha very funny." I say laughing.
Then he kisses me again.
"Ahem." I hear someone cough.
Uriah and I quickly pull apart and see Christina and Zeke.
They are smiling at us then I hear a knock at the door.
"Pizza's here." Uriah says.
"Yea. Yep! Pizza is here isn't it? Can you go get the pizza Uri and Zekey? Please?" I say.
They nod and walk out.
"What was that about?" Christina asks me.
"Nothing."
"Mmmhmm."
"Just shut up and hand me the ice cream."
We laugh and begin singing while making the milkshakes.
Minutes later we have the milkshakes and the pizza.
We walk outside with the pizza and milkshakes on trays.
After thirty five minutes we jump back into the pool.
Then everyone went inside at 10:30. But I stayed outside to think about the whole kissing situation.
I thought about Four and Marlene. Then I heard a car door slam shut. I walk to the front of my house and I see them both kissing.
I ran back to my pool, got in, went to the other side and began crying.
"Tris?" Uriah calls.
I don't answer.
He walks to my side of the pool.
"Tris? What's wrong?" He asks me.
"They don't miss us. They are happy together. I saw them kissing."
He is still wearing his swimming trunks so he jumps in the pool.
"Trissy! Let's play! Pwease!" He shouts.
"Fine Uri."
We start splashing each other and laughing.
By now it's 2:30 am.
"Come on let's go change and get to bed." I say.
I go put on my pajamas and head to bed. Christina is in my bed so I scoot her over and lie down next to her.
But I don't fall asleep. I go to my pool and lie down in one of the chairs.
"Tris?" Tobias calls. I turn my head and see Marlene and Tobias.
"What?" I snap at them.
"I am so sorry." Marlene says
"I am not gonna choose." He says.
"We were just kissing remember?" Marlene says.
"Tris can I talk to you alone?" Tobias asks me.
We walk to the tree.
"I-I am s-s-sorry." He says.
I don't answer him.
"Tris please."
I still don't answer him.
He tries to put his hand on me but I back away.
"Tris."
I begin to cry. I run to the one place where no one will fine me.
"Tris!" He calls after me.
I keep running. When I get to the lake I sit there for hours. Then the sun begins to rise.
I get a call.
"Hello?"
"Tris where are you?!" Christina shouts.
"By the lake."
"I am coming right now stay where you are."
She hangs up.
Minutes later I hear her calling my name.
"Over here!" I shout.
She comes and engulfs me in a hug.
"Oh my goodness Tris! I was worried sick."
We walk back to the house. I change into my bathing suit and swim laps around the pool.
It makes me feel better.
"Tris."
"Four."
"You know my name."
"Yea. It's Four. Or should I call you Big Shot?"
"Fine let's have a race. If I win you let me talk to you."
"And if I win you leave my house."
He nods.
He takes off his shirt and jumps in the pool.
"Ready?"
"Set."
"Go!"
We start swimming to the other side.
But he wins.
"What?" I ask him.
"Please take me back. I saw you kissing Uriah. Take me. Give me a chance."
"I've given you too many Tobias! I can't keep letting you break my heart!"
"I know! Just give me one more!"
I look at him. His eyes are dark, he has not been sleeping.
"I will think about it." I say.
"Thank you." He says.
He jumps out the pool and goes back to his house.
Uriah walks out the house and sits next to me.
"I have something to tell you." He says.
"Ok."
"I gave Marlene a second chance."
I smile.
"That's great!" I say.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I made you believe I was in love with you."
"It's ok."
"But I do like you."
I giggle.
"Brother for now Uri. Brother for now." I say.
He laughs.
"Sister for now Trissy. Sister for now."
"What should I do about Four?"
"I don't know."
"Well that didn't help."
We laugh.
"Come on." He says.
