Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 8

I stretched , yawning in exhaustion. I attempted to roll to my feet but stone arms were wrapped around my waist. I glanced to my side and saw four, wrapped around me. I wiggled out before hopping to my feet and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I grabbed my phone and clicked it on. It was 8:45 am. Everyone was scattered across the floor, passed out. I ran up to my room, and into my closet. I pulled on a pair of black Nike shorts, a white Nike shirt, and Nike roshes. Then I threw my hair up in a pony tail and and slid on a black Nike headband.
I grabbed my head phones and ran downstairs. Everyone was still passed out. And the house was a mess. I groaned knowing I'll have to clean it all up later. I walked outside and started running. I needed this. Running made me feel amazing. The wind cooled my skin as I ran. I wish I could always feel like this.

I finally got home. It was about 10 am. I probably ran about 8 miles. I ran up to the front door and swiped the sweat from my forehead. I pushed open my front door and walked to the stairs. Once again, everyone was still passed out. I rolled my eyes and went upstairs for a shower.

I hopped out of the shower and went to my closet, holding my towel to my body. I surveyed my vast amount of clothes. I slid on some Lacey black panties and a push up bra from pink. I picked out a short black skirt to wear and a white crop top from Lulu lemon. I put on some black converse and went back down the marble staircase. There were 2 sets of marble staircases that lead down to our ballroom sized area in front of the door. I walked to our main family room. Everyone had cleared our, except Uriah and Zeke. Who were cleaning up all the trash. I grabbed my own bag and started helping.

I was laying on the couch, my head in Zekes lap, scrolling through Instagram. "I'm bored," I whined.
"Me too," Uriah said from the other side of the couch.
We decided to go swimming and the rest of the weekend was pretty chill.

Beep beep beep

I groaned and turned my alarm off. I climbed out of my bed and stumbled to my closet. I put on a tie dye crop top and a pair of white high waisted shorts before walking to my makeup stand and putting on a little bit of mascara and lip gloss. I sighed and went down stairs. It was early. I got ready really fast today. I walked to the kitchen and smiled at our cook. There was pancakes set out. I downed some pancakes before running to my car and speeding off to Starbucks.
When I went in, I immediately recognized four. He was standing at the back of the short line, waiting. I walked behind him. He turned around, "oh, hey tris."
I smiled at him and greeted him. "So.... what's up," he asked shyly.
"Not much, how about you?" I asked kindly.
"Same," he said with a smile.
I felt my cheeks redden and I thought about Friday. "Do you going to practice tonight?" He asked scratching his neck.
I nodded and smiled. "For sure."
He smiled and ordered his drink before waving goodbye to me.

The day went by pretty fast and I made my way down to the field in my gear for practice. I warmed up with four quickly before stretching with the rest of the team. "Okay, listen up boys!! And girl. We're gonna start with some simple drill. Well practice receiving and defense practice covering," Coach Max said.
He explained the drill and we broke up into line. I went first, lining up, waiting for the snap.
Drew lined up in front of me and the ball was snapped. I jerked forward, racing past drew. Four threw me the ball and I caught it with ease before racing down the field with incredible speed, leaving drew in the dust.
"Atta girl!!!" Zeke shouted over everyone else.

I threw the ball back to four and got back in line. We continued this drill for a while until we switched to blocking.

I once again lined up, but this time it was peter in front of me. The ball was snapped and he ran at me to block me. He slammed into me, knocking me to the ground hard. Everyone cringed as I slammed against the ground. "Why don't you stick to cheerleading?" Peter teased me.

I jumped to my feet. "You're an ass," I growled at him.

He smirked. "At least I know how to play football," he growled.

"Seriously? The only thing you're good at is standing there like a moron,"  I replied.

He shoved me hard backwards and I stumbled. I growled in anger before charging right at him. I got right up in his face, shoving him slightly. "You wanna go?" I asked.

"BREAK IT UP!" Coach max yelled, running to us.

"Lets go shrimp," he said shoving me hard.
Someone got between us and people were pushing us away from each other.
"Cut that shit out!" Coach max yelled at us.

"Get off the field peter. You're done!" He yelled at him.
I glared at Peter, mustering as much hate as possible.
Shock passed across his face before turning and leaving the field.

Coach just kicked Peter off the team.
Oh, shit.
We finished up practice and headed towards the school to the locker rooms. "Hey, I'll text everyone, let's all hang at our house," Zeke said to four, will, Uriah, and I.

We all nodded and I headed to the girls locker room. I climbed in the shower and quickly washed all the dirt and grass stains off my body. I quickly hopped out and threw on some Nike joggers and a Nike crop top. My phone buzzed so I picked it up.

"Hey trissy, we're all at the house. What have you been doing? Anyways, hurry up!!!!" Uri yelled into the phone.

Loud laughs and talking could be heard in the background and I smiled into my phone.
"Okay, I'm just heading out of the locker room now, I took a shower. I'll be there soon. I must have lost track of time," I said.

I grabbed my bag and started walking out of the locker room, but something struck my head and I dropped my phone, collapsing to the ground.

Ohhhhhhh...... left you with a cliff hanger. Whoopsies. Sorry guys. Guess you'll just have to wait!!!!!
