____________________________________TRIS POV____________________________

" woah, woah, woah. NO. I mean when did...how?" Christina manages to say.

"uhh I think it was at our group's last sleepover.." Tobias tells them

" OH! so tris was the girl you were with, awe was that you're first date?" Mar squeals

" And im gonna take a guess and say you weren't in jail for the past week, but you were with Tris right?" Zeke questions.

" At least we should hope so." Will interjects

" yes and yes" we both smile. " You know if you don't close your mouths you might catch flies." I add with a smirk.

" Wait, wait,wait! Tris you told me you had gotten over your crush on him!" Chris practically yelled.

I internally groaned and I grimaced. Tobias didn't know that I used to like him.

" Crush?" Tobias smirked, teasing me.

" It was when I first moved here not a big deal." I told him trying to brush it off, but of course Christina open her big mouth again.

" sure it wasn't" she rolled her eyes.

" Don't worry, Tris, he was in love with you too when you moved here too." Uri told me jokingly.

I was surprised at the word "love" but didn't let it show. Uriah tends to exaggerate anyway.

**** FLASHBACK to last year****( in TOBIAS POV)

I cant believe Zeke and Uri actually got me to come to this dance. I mean its a freshman dance, and im a junior. Those guys are my best friends so I've become friends with their whole group too. So considering all my friends are here it wouldn't be so bad, except everyone in our group is a couple. Everyone beside me, and some new girl who Chris brought into the group. I haven't met her yet but I probably will tonight.

30 minutes later I still hadn't seen any of our group. " that's it im out" I thought. But at that same moment I looked up and saw Chris trying to drag a girl I've never seen onto the dance floor. " No, Chris really I don't want to intrude, you go dance with Will." I heard the girl say. Christina frowned but disappeared into the crowd again. I finally get a better look at the girl,only to be left breathless. She wasn't a conventional kind of pretty, but yet she is beautiful. Im really not even sure how to describe her. Before I knew what was happening I find myself walking over there. Im glad she started talking when she saw me, because I was at a loss for words.

" Oh! hey, you must be Four, Christina said you were coming to night. Sorry, you're probably wondering why this random freshman knows you. Im the, uh " new girl" to your group-and school. She laughed. " my Name is-" She stopped when she heard the song that had just started playing.

" oh my god" she whispered. " oh my god! This is my song!" she said louder, and more excitedly. " This is my song! Ive been waiting all night for it to come on!"

Without another word she went forward to what was considered the dance floor but still apart from the huge group. I don't know the song playing, but its beat was perfect. She started dancing and swaying her hips leaving me speechless once again, at how she moved.

Then she turned her head back to me

" well, are you gonna leave me to dance all alone?" She smiled in a way that say " come on"

" Well, we wouldn't want that know would we?" I finally replied.

When the song ended she just sighed, " I wish they would just play it again and again."

****END FLASHBACK***
______

Tobias hit Uri over the head after he said that.

" Soo, are we going back to someone's house for a sleepover? This is the last weekend before school starts again." Shauna reminds us, changing the subject.

I groaned " ugh, I had almost forgotten. we can go back to my place, I don't think my brother will be home from Europe yet." I told them as tobias wrapped his arms around me waist from behind. Neither of us like thinking about going back to school, because after this year he leaves for college.

Everyone agrees and heads off to our cars to drive back to my house.
