Play it again: a divergent high school fanfiction

Chapter 11

About a week after sschool started me, Tobias, Zeke, Uriah, marlene, and Shauna were sitting in the cafeteria at lunch. We had all been laughing at something uri had done, but all stopped when we heard someone shouting my name.

"TRIS!" The voice called again, and my whole table looked around in confusion.

" Is that... christina? I asked them.

"TRIS. TRISSY!!"

"Yep. thats Chris al right." Mar laughed.

"TRISTRISTRIS!" At this point practically every kid in the cafeteria was either looking at our table or looking around to see whos screaming. At this moment the cafeteria doors burst open and Chrissy bolted through, eyes searching wildely- presumably for me. She spots me and runs over.

" Oh, hey chrissy, you need something?" I ask innocently.She just rolls her eyes in response

"um.. do you want to explain what that was all about?" Tobias asks. Christina holds up her pointer finger to say, one minute, and tries to catch her breath.

"I can." Will said, responding to tobias' question. " We were walking here to meet you guys when she saw a poster hanging on the wall for dauntless cheer tryouts, then ran off screaming like a maniac."

"Oh shit no." I half whispered

"Oh tris stop it. You are trying out with me and dont try to get out of it. I have really good arguments. You're gonna get to hang out with me. I dont see a reason you need more convincing than that, buts theres more. all the guys are on the team- hell, Four is like the star quarterback- so we'll be cheering for them. And no matter how much you want to deny it, I know you will have fun. And finally you have killer gymnastic skills, you're like olympic level good. Which might i add is totally unfair Because you also are an amazing dancer singer-"

I cut her off before she got totally off topic " Okay, okay Ill try out. Just one question. What about our band preforming at Lauren's? Wont this interfere?" As fun as cheer sounded, Singing is more important to me.

"nope! Lauren's on the team too, so the parties will be after every game"

"when are tryouts?" I ask with a smile.

"EEEEEEKKKKKKK!" she screams again. " They're on the football field after school, Ill meet you out there!"

"Tris prior!"

Finally. me and Chrissy have been waiting for an hour now to tryout. I hope Chris dosent have to wait too much longer after me. I walk over to them

" Tris prior, sophmore." I tell them.

"Great! First you can show us you're own gymnastics moves, then preform the dance we taought yo at the begininning today" The captain- alex- tells me. I get excited starting with the gymnastics will help me get hyped. Chris was exaggerating when she said I was olympic level good, but i am a pretty skilled gymnast.

First I start with a Cartwheel,Roundoff flip flop, and front limber.I do a few jumps and leaps, because I'm really not sure what they're even looking for. I can tell they are impressed by their expressions, and wish I had a moment to catch my breath. But they start the music for the dance right away. They're testing me, I think. I show them I can keep up by doing the dance perfectly. And trying not to look tired. They thank me and I head off. I can see the football players throwing the ball back and forth, warming up for practice, at the other end of the field. I run over there steathily to try and scare tobias. He is in a group with will , zeke, and uriah- of course. Uriah sees me and yells

"TRISSY POO"

So much for sneaking up. " what did I tell you about calling me that?" I say to him, before giving Tobias a smile.

" Hey babe" He says

" hey, Ill let you get back to practice in a sec. I just wanted to see you really quick and ask if monday you wanted to drive to school together. The list of who made the cheer squad goes up that day and im actually kind of nervous-"

"Of course, we can stop at starbucks or something before school, make a date out of it" he promises, winking.

"YO FOUR! Would you care to join the rest of us for practice?" His coach yells to him.

" well, that depends," He calls back. "Can I kiss her goodbye first, coach?" A smile plays on his lips and his coach just make an exasperated "go ahead" gesture.

Tobias brushes my hair away,and kisses me. I hear catcalls and whistles from his teammates and break away laughing. I blush at the scene we just created.

"Ill see you later, I love you tris"

" Have fun at practice, I love you too- Four." I say with a wink.

Not a second after I walk through the door to my house, I get a phone call from Christina. She wastes no time with greetings and launches into a story.

" okay so after I tried out I wa talking to a junior that also tried out and she said shes friends with a senior on the team. And that senior said that they were gonna give a sophmore the co-captain position to a sophmore! Do you know which sophmore? YOU!"

" You didnt let me guess" I say, fake pouting

"FOCUS tris"

"sorry, That is really exciting but we wont know for sure till monday."

She agrees, but says she believes i will get the spot, then we hang up. I go upstairs to lay down but my eyes linger on the corner of my desk. There sits a small razor and a broken peice of glass. Two things a used to use daily, and now havent touched since the night Tobias found them. Its seems strange to me, that one person could change your life so much. I smile as i pick up the objects and- finally- have the power to throw them away. I fall asleep with a smile on my face
