Chapter 18: Paintballing

TRIS POV

I text Molly rescheduling my hair dying.

T-Meet me at my house 12pm tomz

Molly-Whatever

Tobias stops. I see we have already arrived at the paintballing place. I look around no lights, no people, no nothing. I look around and see the gang.

I run up to Christina as Tobias runs up to Zeke.

"Heyyy, sorry we are late," I say

"It's okay, we were worried that you got in a crash or something," Christina says while giving me a hug. "Are those pencil shavings on your hair?" she asks. She takes out something from my hair. "It is," she says. "How did you get them in your hair...ohhhhh, wait, don't tell me, I don't want to know,"

I look down blushing. Uriah and Zeke wolf-whistle.

"Oh shut up, it's not like you haven't done it with Shauna or Marlene," Tobias defends

"Wait, they did?" Christina asks.

They all nod and Tobias and I laugh.

"Anyways, why does this place look so dead?" I ask

"Oh, It's not open," Zeke says.

"Than what's the point of coming," Will questions.

"I didn't know it was closed," Zeke says.

I am thinking about a place to play since my brother had paintball guns. Oh I nearly forgot my house had a massive backyard.

"Hey, meet me all at my house, my brother had some paintball guns and I have a massive backyard," I tell them.

They all nod and Tobias and I get back in the car snd drive to my house. On the way we started a convesation.

"Hey since it's getting hot we should host a pool party," I say

"Yeah that would be awesome," Tobias says

"How about first week of holidays since school is about to finish for the semester." I suggest

"Yeah..." Tobias says before he gets cut off by my song, Superhero.

"OMG is this my song?" I ask

He laughs and says "Yes Trissy it is,"

I loved you, I loved you
With all that's in my power
I was used and abused
Til I was sweet and sour

I kissed you and kissed you
And gave you all my sugar
You knew that I'd be useless
If I let you know what you were to me
I thought it would be OK
that we shared everything
No way

And I told you, I told you
How I was such a sad case
You said you could save me
I'm doing the saving
Went to sleep with superhero
And he woke up a villain
Killing and killing my love
Oh, what happened?
Oh, no, what happened
You got me fighting
Like wonder woman, woman
But...

Tobias sings with his impression of me. I laugh my head off.

I, I, I don't wanna fi-i-ight
Don't wear no ti-i-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh
I, I, I don't wanna fi-i-ight
Don't wear no ti-i-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh

Oh no, don't know what happened.
Don't know what happened.
Don't know what happened.

I keep trying and trying
To wrap my head around it
Crying so can't let nobody see how I'm acting
You hurt me, you hurt me
And no not physically
Ain't got no bumps and bruises
To show people what you're doing to me

I thought it would be OK
But you see I heard everything you said
And I knew it, I knew that you'd turn out to be a sad case
You said you could save me
I'm doing the saving

I sing.

We laugh.

"What inspired you Tris?" Tobias asks

"I wrote this after Al's death, I remember what he did to me and how I defended myself with a round house kick," I say.

We arrive at my house and I see all the other guys. I grab the guns and take them out to the garden. I tell them the boundaries.

"WE ONLY CAN STAY IN THE GARDEN SO NO GOING IN THE HOUSE, WE CAN'T GO IN OR BEYOND THE TENNIS COURTS,WHEN YOU GET SHOT YOU CAN'T SHOOT ," I shout.

"We all have different colours, Four and I have purple, Chrissy and Will have pink, Zeke and Shauna have green and Uriah and Mar have blue," I tell them

They all nod

"What teams?" Uriah asks

"Couples," Shauna suggests. We all agree.

We all split up. Tobias and I go and find a place to hide. We find a place near the pool which is next to the tennis court.

We stay in put for two minutes preparing our guns. I hear whispering which becomes clearer. Uriah and Marlene.

"Where should we hide?" Mar asks

I look at Tobias and tell him to get Uriah as I get Mar. We find a high ground. I climbed the diving board quitely. When I got half way I could get a clear spot where Uriah and Marlene are. I aim and shoot Marlene. A purple paintball splatted onto her clothes. Uriah turned to Marlene and shouted. "I hate you Tris or Four where ever you are, I will find you and shoot you," With that Four shoots Uriah on the leg. Uriah gives a very high pitched and girlish scream. Tobias and I laugh as we reveal ourselved. We continue and hear Chrissy and Will.

"LOL, they won't ever find us,"Chrissy says. Tobias and I do a different plan. I was being a distraction to Will and her as Tobias sneaks from behind and shoot Will. I walk into plain sight and give a scream like I saw a ghost. Will and Christina whip their heads to me. I get Christina in the arm as Tobias shoots Will on the back. Tobias and I run away

Last but not least, Shauna and Zeke. I wonder where they are.

"Here we are Trissy-poo," Zeke says. He shoots a paintball towards me. I do an easy front walkover dodging the paintball. Zeke looks at me with shock. I shoot him before he can do anything making him snap out of his faze. He starts asking me stupid questions when I hear a paintball gun shoot behind me. I turn and see a paintball heading to my way. I quickly do an ariel just missing the paintball. Shauna looked at me with amazment. With that Tobias shot her on the arm.

"YEAHHHHHH," we shout at the top our lungs fist pumping. We call all the other guys to come back.

"OMG, Tris how did you do that?" Shauna asked.

"I did gymnastics when I was younger and quit about a month ago but I can still do things," I say.

"Oh, yeah I remeber when we were younger and you showed me your back handspring, you were so happy you finally got it," Tobias said.

"Yeah, I remember that," I say laughing

"Wait you guys knew each other when you were younger," Shauna asks.

"Yeah," I say

"Than why didn't you tell us you knew Four when you were younger," Christina says.

"Well maybe back than he had a different name and was less muscular, all I remembered were his vocals and those mesmerizing blue eyes" I say.

"And something else," Tobias says with a wink. I playfully push him. They all looked confused. Lets get back in the house and change.
