Divergent High

Chapter 20

"What did you get for question 5?" Christina asked me.

" 150" I told her looking at my notebook.

"Really? I got 20" She said confused.

We were doing homework before our dates. Math was one of my better subjects and one of Christina's worst ones. I heard her slam her textbook shut.

"I've had enough of this! I'm getting ready for my date." Christina leaped of her bed and headed over to our closet. This was probably the last time this room will ever be clean, since Christina loves to throw her clothes around the room when she's going on a date.

"We've only been at it for 2 minuets." I exclaim.

"I don't care! Math hurts my brain!" she said rummaging through her closet.
"You should start getting ready too you know."

"Chris, my date starts at 7, and it's 3 I have enough time."

"Suite yourself then"

~*~

"I'm actually freaking out!" Christina says starting to panic.

"You'll be fine." I tell her without looking up from my phone. Moments later there is a knock on our door.

Her eyes widen. "He's here!"

"Open the door." I tell her

She shakes her head. "No, hell no. You do it." She walks towards me and pushes me off my bed.

"I hate you." I tell her. I walk up and answer the door and it's Will. He's wearing a baby blue button up shirt and black jeans. Christina pops up behind me. "Hi Will." She says. I make way for her as they walk out the door.

I sit back down on my bed. 15 minuets past 7. I start to wonder where Four is.
I walk over to my body mirror to make sure I look okay. I'm wearing a peach chiffon button up with a sparkly silver peter pan collar, black jeans and some really pretty silver heels. I straightened, well Christina straightened my hair, I like it though. It's looks nice like this.

I hear someone walking fast and pretty loud. I footsteps stop in front of my door. They slip something under and continue to walk, by the time I get to the door I cannot hear the person walking.

I pick up the note it's on a picture sized piece pink paper of paper decorated with purple jewels, which happened to be Lauren's 2 favourite colours. It reads:

I gave you the chance to back off but you didn't now i'll just separate you guys myself. Starting with your date. It's almost 20 minutes after 7, wheres your knight in shinning armour? Carrying another princess off into the sunset? Have spending friday night alone.

This is a joke right? I ask myself. Lauren couldn't really be the reason why Four is late. I thought these were a joke. But she's actually separating us. I debate wether or not to find her tomorrow and rip her hair out or not. I decide not to, so she could see that it's not bothering me. Finally theres a knock at my door. My knight in shinning armour finally saves the damsel in distress, or princess. I grab my purse, and open the door not to see Four, but someone else.

"Adam?"

"Tris, hi." he says

"What are you doing here?" It was a surprise he was here. I would think he would text me before he came.

"Well, I was at the store and I remember you telling me how excited you were for Mockingjay to come out, so I bought you this." He opened his palm and it was a necklace that said "Fire burns brighter in the darkness" and the mockingjay pin.

"You really didn't have to." I tell him.

"I know, it just reminded me of you so I had to get it. "

"Thank you!" I said as I picked it up from his palm. I place it around my neck.

"Don't sweat it. I'll text you." He says then walks away.

Something inside me, I don't know what it is made me say it , I just blurted it out. "Adam, are you busy, like right now?"

He turned around and walked back to my dorm. "You told me you were going on a date with Four."

"Well by the looks of it I don't think he'll be coming any time soon."

"Are you sure?" He asks

"Yeah i'm sure." I tell him.

"Okay then. What do you want to do." I ask.

"Tris!" I hear a familiar voice call out. I look past Adam to see Four. Is it bad to say I was kind of upset that he showed up, I was looking forward to hangout with Adam.

"Its's okay." He says. "We can reschedule."

"I'll see you later." I smile. He then walks down the other hallway. I'm left waiting for Four get to my door.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" He says.

"I'm not." I say "Why were you 30 minutes late?"

"Uhh... I was hanging out with Savannah and I lost track of time."

"Of course you were with Savannah." I roll my eyes I attempt to close my door, but he pushes it open.

"Please hear me out. Savannah was tutoring me because Lauren told her I needed some help. Then I lost track of time."

" Being tutored is more important than our date?"

"No, please forgive me?"

I thought about it and decided to let it go. I didn't want Lauren to get the satisfaction of me not going on a date.

"Fine, just this once" I smiled.

"Yes! You're going to love this date!"

*page break*

He was right I did love the date, he took me go karting. I was pretty good at it so I beat him. Four was walking me back to my dorm with his arm around me.

"I knew you would love it." I smiled because it was the truth. I loved it.

We finally got to my dorm. "Thanks for the amazing date even if I had to wait 30 extra minutes." I gave him a quick kiss.

"Good night." I said.

"I love you!" He said as I closed my door. I come into an empty room. Christina is probably out with Will.
I am so tired from go karting I just kick my shoes of and hop into bed.
----------------------------------------------

A/N: What do you think of the letters that Tris keeps receiving? Would you be upset if Four was half an hour late? What about Adam's gift? YESS I DID IT!! I can't believe I actually updated it. I'm pretty please. Sorry though, it's kind of an uneventful chapter but next one will have be eventful. Next update Nov 23-26

TEASER FOR CHAPTER 21:
Musical rehearsal and Tris doesn't want to be there. Memories of the past resurface. Remember in chapter 4, where Four says he and Tris have kissed before? That answer might make an appearance in this chapter!

Stay tuned ;)
