Dauntless University

Chapter Three

          Class was boring! I can't believe that I even made it through that class! I think it was Al because he was also in that class with me. He is really sweet and funny. He is also roomates with Will so he is now part of "the gang". I can't believe I am in a gang of friends that hang out and stuff!
          After class I go straight to my dorm to prepare for tonight. I take a shower and blow dry my hair, I then curl it and put some hair spray in it to make it stay. I put on the same clothes as earlier and the same converse, they have a sunset with all different colors on them. Chris comes over to help with my makeup and she touches up my hair. She barely changes my hair but puts a lot of makeup on! "Why do I have so much makeup on! More makeup will not make me prettier!" I am not that pretty but I'm not ugly. "I'm not going for pretty I'm going for noticeable!" Chris says while making a wing by eyeliner.
           I say thank you and they all wish me luck. I head out and realize that he never gave me where his dorm was. Crap where am I supposed to go now! I can't go back to the dorm because that would be very embarrassing so I just lay down in the prickly grass in the quad and look at the sunset (it is like 5:55 so it is not dark yet). I notice a figure coming my way and I look at who it is.
         Him! Crap! Look away, look away! Too late. He already caught my eyes and I don't dare to look away. We just stay there and stare till I break the silence, "You never told me your dorm number so I had nowhere to go." I hope he doesn't think I'm weird or desperate. "I remembered that right after I told you to meet me but you were already gone." I did leave really fast because Lynn was waiting for me. "Sorry my friend was waiting." "Are you ready to go?" He asked it so impatiently. Why is he acting kinda weird? "Sure just let me grab my stuff."
          I stand up but being the clumsy person I am I immediately tripped on my books and started to fall. He, of course, catches me. Why do I always run or trip into him?! He grabs me by the waist and stands me up. I'm blushing like crazy! I can feel it!
                                                               ****************
           We go to his dorm which is 28S, I'm guessing that all freshman are in the South building. I pull out my notes and we start talking about whatever it was that we learned. After we study for what seems like hours, we just ended up talking and laughing. He is really fun to hang out with(Al is more fun to hang with)!
          We are talking about our pets(don't ask me how we ended talking about that because I don't even know) and out of nowhere, he kisses me! What am I supposed to do! I just sit there awkwardly with his lips on mine. He doesn't stop he just kisses me again but harder. I kiss back this time, I don't even know why! It's getting really serious so I decide to pull away. He understands so we just sit there with our foreheads touching and our breathes mixing.
       After what seems like forever, I grab my stuff and walk out of the room. I am shocked, dumbfounded, surprised! I'm running out of words to use! Does he like me?
                                                                **************
       I run back to my dorm and everyone is there, Will, Chris, Lynn, Marlene, Al, the guy Uriah and what seems to be his brother Zeke and his girlfriend Shauna. Crap! "Soooooo, what happened! Please tell!" Chris really wants to know. "I'm don't feel comfortable telling what happened with them here." I say nod my head in the boys direction. They all agree and head out.
         "So I got there and we are studying then we are just talking about random things like pets. He kissed me! Out of the blue!" They start squealing, it's making my ears hurt. "Did you kiss back?" Lynn finally asks. "Not at first but then I did!" Even more squeals. The door opens and all the guys rushes in, "Are you guys ok!? We heard screaming." Will ask us as we are all still squealing our heads off.
       "Can you guys leave so Tris can finish her story!" Chris asks. "Fine, just no more yelling!" Will commands, I don't think we will be following it though. We nod and they walk out, "Finish the story already!" Marlene asks me. "Fine! After we kissed for awhile it got more heated and I didn't feel comfortable with that so i pulled back." Chris asks, "Why didn't you feel comfortable?" "Because I have never even kissed a guy before." I mumble the words hoping that they don't hear them. "What?" They all ask at once. "I'VE NEVER KISSED A GUY BEFORE!" I shout it louder then I should have. I feel my cheeks getting hot and I just want to fall off a cliff and die.
      They all just sit there, looking at me with blank faces. Then they all start to snicker, it grows into a full on laughing fit. I am so embarrassed! They all laugh for a while till Lynn asks, "How old are you?" "17. My birthday is in a month." I whisper it, barely audible. "How come you have never kissed a guy before?" Shauna asks in a really sweet voice.
          It calms me down a little, "My dad never let me date." "That is so sad!! Come here!" Chris pulls me into a hug and I hug back. "Well, this is college now so you can do whatever you want, like date Four!" Marlene says it very happily. I, of course, laugh at the fact that Four could ask me out but everyone else just looks at me with weird faces but joins in, in the end. I have really nice friends.
      I am trying to sleep but it is exciting knowing that a guy would like you. I am looking forward to tomorrow with no classes and hopefully hanging out with him, if I even find him.
**************
      I wake up really late, like 11:30 late! It felt so good. I get up and changed into jeans and a shirt that falls off one shoulder(you know what I mean). It's casual but really cute, Lynn and Chris agreed. I head out to the quad with Lynn at my side, Chris had class so she couldn't come. We go and sit down next to Al who had a blanket and everything. "Hey!" I say showing Al that we are here. "Oh, hey guys! You can sit down if you want!" Lynn and I sit down and all of us just started talking.
        Lynn gasps and starts taping my shoulder, after awhile she is practically punching my arm. "Ow, What?!" I said kind of irritated. "He is right over there, go talk to him!" She whispers it because I still don't want the guys to know. He is right over there all alone, maybe I should go talk to him. "Fine." I put my hands up in defeat before she can start punching me again. She laughs as I walk away to talk to Four.

                        Al's POV
         I decided last night to go to the quad and just sit and read, so when Lynn and Tris come over I put my book down to talk. I am so glad I brought such a large blanket. I look away and pretend I didn't see them. I might have developed emotions for Tris but I'm not ready to tell her just yet. "Hey!" Tris says, probably to show that they are there, "Oh, hey guys! You sit down if you want!" They sit and we talked. We talked and talked till suddenly Lynn starts tapping Tris' shoulder over and over, after awhile she starts punching. What could be so exciting? I hear them whisper something to each other and Tris saying, "Fine!" And then walks toward this guy.
        "Lynn? What was all that about?" I ask not trying to sound jealous that Tris may like someone else. "Remember when she came home and told all the guys to leave? Yeah well she told us that that guy over there kissed her!" She squeals and continues to watch Tris talk to him. Jealousy raises inside me but I can't show that I'm jealous because no one knows I like her! I can't lose her to a guy like that! I can't and I won't! I then stood up and started walking towards her... As I approached them I felt someone put their hand on me. It was Lynn. She told me to not ruin the moment, but I desperately wanted to, but I couldn't tell her that so I just left.

                        Tris' POV
          I walked over to Four, who is sitting all alone at a table. He looks deep in thought so I tapped his shoulder. He looked right at me and smiled, I couldn't help but smile back. He has really white teeth making his smile look really sexy, no I really shouldn't be thinking like this! "We need to talk about yesterday." I say kind of nervous, "Sure, tomorrow night, dinner at 8:00." Did he just ask me out? What am I supposed to say?! Ugh, I don't know what to do! "Tempting, but I'll have to think about it." I mean, I already know the answer but I want to be hard to get, I decided to turn around and walk away, leaving him without an answer.
         I go back and find that Lynn is all alone. "Where is Al?" "He was going to stop you from talking to Four so told him to not intervene. He left right after." "Why would he want to stop me from talking to Four?" Could he like me? "I don't know. He got kind of furious after I told him about you kissing Four then he just..." I cut her off, "You told him about me kissing Four?!" I whisper yelled. "Yeah..." She says it sheepishly, like I will yell at her again if she finishes the sentence. "He was curious and wanted an explanation. Sorry, I didn't know you didn't want him to know." I sighed and forgaved her. I have to find Al! I feel so bad for not telling him.
