a dauntless love

chapter 5

Tris POV:

I run to the dorms, were I know Chris will be, collecting her things. I stop at the door and catch my breath before I walk in. I walk in quietly and see her packing the last of her things, which consists of her spare boots, a photo of her family and the rest of her clothes. "Chris!" I shout, she stares up at me from her small box of things "whats wrong" she asks with concern in her eyes "I need you help..." I trail off, not shore how to fraise the next part of my sentence. Should I tell her that it's Tobias? Or Four, as she knows him. Maybe thats not such a good idea, I wont. "Ya, anything! What do you need?" She say's "I, umm, I have a umm..." I stutter "spit it out!" She exhales in frustration. "I have a date." I blush and look at the ground. "OH MY GOD! WHAT" she screams, I take a deep breath and tell what I need "I have a date. I don't know what to weir. I don't know what you talk about. I don't know what you do on a date. And I have no experience in this area, in abnegation our - their - version of a date was going to their house, having a quiet dinner with there family and helping with the dishes then leaving!" Christina has an evil grin on her face, "oh no, what are you thinking" I State. "my dear friend" taking her arm and raping it around my shoulder "you are obviously in a situation of dire need, but don't worry I am right here" were is she taking this? I wonder "NOW! Let get started!" She commands. What have I gotten myself into...

Christinas POV:

Tris is going on a date! "My little Tris is growing up so fast!" I say in a motherly town, Tris just scowls. "Right, what time is it? Do you know were your going? How long will you be out for? How fancy is it?" I question "dear lord, slow down" Tris remarks "he said to be there by 6:45. He said to meet him in the pit. I don't know how long I'll be out for" ok no heels, I think to myself "and I don't know how fancy it is" she finishes up. "wait, 6:45! That doesn't give me much time!" I sigh to her in exasperation. She just laughs. "Ok, you need an outfit - let's hit the shops. I need to do your hair and makeup - that will take a wile. And this all needs to happen my 6:45, and it is currently 1:30" I say looking at my watch. "lets go!" Grabbing Tris by the hand and drag her out the door towards the dauntless boutique were ill be working, I get a discount there! Half way across the pit, we bump into Will, god he's cute! He looks at me, then my hand that is still tight around Tris' arm and then over to Tris. "I know we're you'r going, I'm sorry Tris, good luck" he chuckles, he must know I'm dragging her to the shop. He knows Tris hates shopping; And he knows I love it. "right well, as you can see we are quite busy, so I'm going to have to love you and leave you" I say pecking him on the cheek. He blushes and nods, scurrying away. Tris burst out laughing. "whats your problem" I stair at her "did you, did you see" she's struggling to get out a sentence over her giggles "did you see his FACE, he was so red!" She's now on the floor laughing and struggling to breath "you have him rapped around your little finger" she says as she finishes her laughing fit and we walk in. I find her a cute little black that is fitted at the waits and flares out, it is tight with long sleeves with a cow neck, and comes up to just above her knees. She then found some adorable black wedges that rap around the ankle and tie in a small bow at the side. "its beautiful" she says, twirling in her new dress, as the skirt flares out. "great, I'll go pay, we can go to my new apartment and do your hair and makeup there" I add "sound great!" Tris leaves to go get changes and I go pay. Once we finish with that we head back to my apartment, we stop by the dorms on the way there to get out stuff for our new appartments. We don't have much stuff so we only need to cary one box each, and the bags from the store.

Tris POV:

"We're hear" Chris says as we stop at a door. It read '271'. We stoped at my apartment to drop my stuff off before heading out to Chris's apartment for her to do my hair. Chris fumbles for her key from her pocket, and she opens the door. All the walls are wight, and just like my apartment, her floor is grey concert. We walk in a little further into the living room, which is open and connects to the kitchen. It has a black rug, black velvet couch & matching chars, the TV and stand are also black. The kitchen has a marble counter and all the cupboards are black wood. Everything, besides the walls and floor, are black or an extremely dark purple. Chris puts her box down on the dinning room table and takes out what looks like a toiletries bag, she grabs my hand again and runs into the bathroom. The bathtub is wight and the shower head is a mat black, the sink and basin are the same marble as the kitchen counter. I don't have much time to take it all in before Christina slams me onto a stool and gets to work. She curls my hair and leaves it out, she then moves onto makeup. "what do you think your doing" I say, staring at the eyeshadow in her hand. "doing your make up!" She exclaims, "No" I say in a monotone voice "no? Why not?" She looks at me puzzled, I have never really liked makeup all too much, "I don't like things on my eyelids, or on my face in general" I sigh "very well" she says deflated "but can I at least do some mascara, eyeliner and MAYBE some lipgloss!" She asks hopefully, emphasising the 'maybe'. I sigh in defeat and nod. She squeals and starts. It only takes her 5 minutes so she shoos me away to go get dressed. I slip on my new black dress and shoes, I normally don't like dresses, but this one I don't mind. I walk out and do a spin. "what you think?" I ask her "oh my gosh, Tris! You look stunning! AND YOU GOING TO BE LATE!" She squeals. What, late? Is it already 6:00? She shoos me out the door and waves me good buy, as I quickly grab my purse. I Walk down to the Pit to meet Tobias. I wonder were we'er going? I tern down a corner, in the dark hallway, the lights flicker a little, but it doesn't bother me; I take a left down another hallway, this time the light go off; 'great' I think to myself. I make my way down the hallway quickly and just as I'm about to turn down the next hallway that leads to the pit I see a black mass pass behind me out of the corner of my eye, I spin around sharply, backing up. Nothing is there. I shake it off and go down to the Pit.

***page brake***

The Pit is crowded and the music is blaring, I look around for Tobias and I spot him on the other side of the Pit, I start to walk over to him, when I run into a very drunk Peter. "Hay stiff, were you going?" He slurs "away from you" I growl "ohhh! Don't be like that" he pouts ,grabbing my wrist and puling him closer to him. I slap him and pull my arm free and storm off, leaving a stunned Peter and his drunken friends behind me. I walk over to Tobias who is standing quietly off to the side of the crowd, his eyes skimming over every one until they land on me, and his mouth drops. "what?" I remark as I get closer to him, "What? Im sorry" he blushes, I just laugh, "come with me" he grabs my hand in his and I willingly follow.

Tobias POV:

I head over to the pit, still thinking about that Eric said; "I've already been appointed". Is Max retiring? It makes sense, Max is getting old for a dauntless member. But Eric? Why him? Can't Max tell he's not a good guy? I get drawn out of my thoughts when I get to the pit. Its loud music blearing and lots of people dancing and drinking, it really is the hart of dauntless. I make my way out of the crowd, over to a quieter spot were I can think. I skim the crowd for her, then I spot her. Her long blond hair drops gracefully over her shoulders, she wears a simple black dress that covers her arms but comes just above the knee. She has eye liner on making her grey-blue eyes sparkle in the moon light. My mouth drops. "what?" She asks "what? Im sorry" realising what I was doing, I blush and stair at the ground. "come with me" I say grabbing her hand in mine, leading her to the Ferris Weal. "were are we going" she asks laughing a little. "oh... just... somewhere", smirking, not really giving her an answer. We make it to the Ferris weal were I set up a little picnic just bellow it, with a dauntless cake in the middle of the rug. "do you like it..." I trail off, she clasps one hand to her mouth, the other still in mine, which I don't mind at all. "it's amazing" she stutters. I don't know why, but I feel proud and... relieved? We sit down and we talk all night, we end up eating the hole dauntless cake and dancing. It gets to around 10:30 and we make out way home. We get to her apartment, and I turn to her "so, did you have fun?" I ask, "so much fun" she replies, and pecks me on the cheek, I was not expecting that and I feel my face grow warm, she blushes violently and says "thank you for such a great night Tobias," she says. I think Im grinning like a dork but I don't care, "well... good night" she says and opens her apartment door and goes in, she waves and closes it. I'm now beaming from ear to ear, and I walk home. I stop smiling only when I hope into bed and fall asleep, still grinning, replaying everything that just happened.
