"You cheated!"

"Did not!"

"Yes you did Tris! There's no way you're THAT good."

"Shut up!"

Tobias and I had been playing Call of Duty for a hour now, and for the first time I killed him . I was sitting up against him between his legs chanting my victory.

"Beatrice Prior," he starts out, "there is no way that from out of 20 games you magically 'beat me'"

I shift my self around onto my knees and stare right into Four's eyes. "I. Did. Not. Cheat!"

He laughs then runs a hand through my hair. "God, you're beautiful when you're angry.

I shove him, sending up both laying down on the bed. I start laughing, listening to his laughter collide with mine. When the laughter dies, I find myself starring into his bright blue eyes.

God, his eyes were beautiful. I could stare into them all day, and drift into a galaxy.

Tobias slowly puts his mouth against mine. I smile, and kiss him back. He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me in closer., I run my fingers through his short brown hair.

I feel my shirt being lifted off of me, and I let him.

This needs to stop...

"Tobias.." I say, looking down at my flat stomach. From kissing my neck, he pulls away and I see him blushing heavenly.

"Tris I'm sorry I don't know what came after me."

A soft laugh escapes my mouth, before I wrap my arms around Tobias's neck.

"I don't want to take things too fast yet."

He smiles, giving my nose a gentle kiss. "I'm sorry again, Tris."

I pick up a green pillow and smack him with it. "Stop apologizing! That was actually kind of fun."

He grins wildly then throws me my shirt. I quickly put it on, blushing. "I didn't even notice that being off."

"Must be because you trust yourself around me."

I kiss Tobias on the lips, then jump under the covers. "I'm cold Toby."

He laughs, joining me under the covers. "'Toby,' really Tris?"

I shrug. "It was worth a try."

He smirks then wraps me in his arms before we drift off to sleep.
~~~~~~~MORNING~~~~~~~~~

"Good morning Tris."

I emerge from my sleep. Tobias stands at the foot of my bed, fully dressed in black pants and a black tee. His hair glistens, like he just got out of the shower and his bag was slung acrossed his shoulders.

I sit up and hop out of bed, walking to the bathroom. I look at the clock- 7:30. From taking a shower the night before, I dress in white shorts and a black tank top that has "Normal People Scare Me" written on the front.

I comb my hair, brush my teeth, put on some make up, then make my way out to grab my books.

When I go down the stairs, I smell a faint smell of bacon. "Mhm." I call out. "That smells good."

"Well you best come get it before I finish it!"

I walk to the kitchen, seeing Tobias nibbling on a piece of bacon. I set my stuff down on the granite counter and grab me a couple pieces. It was so good.

"Are you ready?" I say after I finished my last piece.

"Yeah, let's go." He speaks softly, leading me out to his car. We ride in silence, not saying anything. Not one of us speaks until we meet up with our friends. Christina seemed happier than usual, which was very, VERY, scary. She asked me to talk to her between classes in the bathroom, which I agreed to.

First hour was boring, REALLY boring. So boring, I was thanking God when the bell finally rang. I walk to the bathroom, meeting Christina near the last stall.

"Bea guess what!" She squeals.
"What Chrissy?"
"I went on my first date with Will!" She starts jumping and shaking me excitedly.

"I'm happy for you Christina. Is that all you had to tell me?"

She scoffs. "Well yeah! Do you have any girl inside of you?"

I laugh, almost falling backwards into a stall door. "I'm sorry I'm not what you call 'girly'"

Just then, the bell rang.

"Shit." Christina mutters. "I was on my last late slip in this class."

I laugh again, dragging her to our class. As soon as we got there, Christina was sent to the office for having three tardys for this class. When we had to partner up, I was partners with Eric, since his partner Peter was out for beating up a kid named Edward, I think.

When Eric walks over to me, he grunts. "Well if it isn't Miss. clumsy."

I sigh, moving over to make more room to sit in front of the two person desk. We work silently, me doing most of the work. I have him the job in labeling our project and Presenting him while I'll make the models and make the speech.

When the bell rang, Eric was the first to jump up and leave, just like every other class. But he seemed more rushed this time. I wonder why.

I gather up all the supplies, and take them to my locker. One more class until lunch finally.

On my way to third hour, I check my phone. A picture of my parents, Caleb and I is the lock screen, showing the time 10:55. I missed my parents so much. I want to call them and tell them I'm okay, but I can't. When they catch the killer, they WILL pay. They will pay for all the suffering that I've had, all the heartbreaks, all the pain. They will be caught.
