Divergent High

Chapter FOUR

 Four's POV

i see a notification pop up on my phone screen.

ZEKE: hey guys, wanna all hang out at my place 

doesn't sound like a bad idea. Marcus isn't here so he won't know or probably care that i'm not home. I also have nothing better to do, i'd rather hang out with friends than do homework on a Friday night.

I wander out of my room and out of the front door. When i walk out the door i see a woman leaving the driveway.

"Hey, can i help you?" I call out to her. this makes her break out into a run and sprints until i cant see her anymore.

That was strange. Anyway, i jump in the car and start driving to the address Zeke sent with the invite. i wonder if Tris will be there. I will probably need to repay her for that broken pot, I hope she didn't get in trouble because of it.

I knock on the door and Uriah comes and opens it for me.

"Five! Great to see you!" he greets me. I roll my eyes, if he calls me Five ever again i will get even madder than Ms. Matthews gets at Tris. 

I follow him into the house and i see my friends all sitting there. I see Shauna and Lynn sitting on one couch, Zeke, Will and Christina on another and Marlene on the floor. Where's Tris, is she going to come? I sit down on another couch with Uriah. She might come later.

Tris's POV

I really want to go see the gang at Zeke and Uriah's house, although i'm sure my father won't let me. I'm going to need to do a mission impossible. I open my window and look at the tree, placed conveniently close to the ledge. I'll probably fall and get more attention if i go that way, so i close the window and slowly open my bedroom door.

I can't hear much, I hear a faint sound of snoring. Probably my father. I slowly make my way down the stairs, one by one. This is probably the one time in my life that I haven't sprinted down these stairs. I have waddled down a few steps and i step on the next one below. It creaks. I close my eyes and cross my fingers, hoping he didn't wake up. He's a very light sleeper.

Luckily for me, he is still in the chair in the lounge room snoring. I finish sneaking down the rest of them and tiptoe to the front door. BEEP, i hear my phone notification go off. No, no, no, please not now, don't wake up! i see my father's eyes shoot open. i reach for the door handle and run outside. 

"Tris, come back!" he yells when i run down the street. I know him, he's not going to be bothered to run after me. I sprint all the way to the grocery shop. I stop there and pull out my phone to check the notification and reply.

CHRISTINA: Hey Tris, are you coming tonight?

TRIS: Yeah. can you pick me up from the grocery shop?

Four's POV

We're all just sitting around Zeke and Uriah's lounge room, pretty much waiting to see if Tris is actually coming. BEEP, I hear a notification from someones phone. Christina pulls her phone out of her pocket and glances at the screen.

"It's Tris, i'm going to go pick her up." Christina says, picking herself up off the couch and heading for the front door.

"Anyway, why are we here, Zeke?" Shauna asks him.

"I thought we could play a game of Candor or Dauntless," He responds, a huge grin on his face. 

"Candor or Dauntless?" I ask, what is he talking about.

"It's a game Zeke 'made up'" Marlene replies.

"It's truth or dare. But Zeke doesn't like to admit that!" Lauren laughs. For me it's just going to be  a game of dare, I'm not going to let anyone ask about my name.

"So... We're waiting on Tris and Christina for now?" Will asks. 

"Pretty much, yeah." Lauren responds.

A few minutes later we hear a knock at the door. Lynn rushes over to the door and re-enters the room with Christina and Tris. We all sit down on the couches and get comfortable.

"So everyone's ready to play a good ol' game of Candor or Dauntless?" Uriah asks.

"Candor or Dauntless, Zeke still thinks he invented that game?" Tris asks. They all must have been playing this for years.

"Yep. somehow he believes that he invent the concept of Candor or Dauntless." Lynn laughs. I didn't even realise how much of an idiot Zeke is.

"Okay, I'm going first!" Christina squeals, glancing around the circle choosing who to 'Candor or Dauntless'.

"Shauna!" she shouts, pointing over where Shauna is sitting. "Candor or Dauntless?"

"Um... um...." Shauna hesitates. "Candor!" 

"Who do you like?" Christina asks, leaning really close to Shauna's face, pressuring her to answer.

Shauna's cheeks turn red. She glances at the floor.

"Zeke." she says softly. everyone starts 'oohing'.

Her cheeks turn even more red and Zeke seems slightly embarrassed.

"Anyway," Shauna says, interrupting the oohing. "Lynn, Candor or Dauntless?"

"Do you even have to ask that?" Lynn sniggers. "Dauntless of course, as always."

"You seem confident. Kiss Four!" she says confidently. Well thanks for dragging me into this Shauna. i glare at her.

"You don't get a say in this." Shauna says, obviously catching my glare.

Lynn scoots over to me, and suddenly, her lips are pressed against mine. She quickly pulls away, the kiss probably lasted for a split-second. As she scoots back to where she was sitting, i notice her cheeks the same red that Shauna's were a minute ago. 

"Tris, Candor or Dauntless?" Lynn asks quietly, probably still embarrassed from the kiss.

"I'll do Candor," Tris responds. "There isn't anything i'm not willing to share." I just hope Lynn doesn't ask about the most awkward moment because i'm pretty sure that this morning would win that award. 

"Let's go back in time, who was your first crush?" Lynn asks. Tris hesitates for a second, I'm hoping she doesn't say Eric.

"I'm pretty sure it was Peter." she laughs. 

"Pretty sure?" Lauren asks, raising her eyebrows it Tris.

It goes on for a few more rounds and i haven't gotten chosen yet. Out of the corner of my eye i see Tris leaving through the front door. I manage to get up and follow her without anyone noticing.
