Stay With Me

Chapter Six

Chapter 6

Tris' POV

Tobias and I walk side by side each other in the park. It's really peaceful. The soft breeze, the sun setting, the crickets starting to chirp. I sigh.

"What's wrong?" He questions.

"What? Oh, nothing's wrong. It's just so peaceful." I walk up to a tree, and sit below it. Tobias soon joins me. "So, how was football tryouts?"

"It was great, especially when I got to see some girls in spandex trying out in--"

I elbow him. "Why am I even friends with you?" I laugh.

"It because you love me, Trissy." He blows me a kiss. I roll my eyes. I lay my head on his shoulder, and close my eyes. Should I tell I might have feelings for him? I don't want it to ruin our friendship. Especially since he is my best friend...

"Tobias

"Hmm?"

I take a breath. "I like you."

"What?"

"Do you know what? Nevermind."

"No Tris I-"

"Tobias, just forget I even said anything, I'm going home." I speed walk towards to my house a few blocks near from where I am currently. I try not to cry, which I fail miserably at.

"TRIS! I like you to!" He calls. I stop dead in my tracks. What?

"Y-you l-like me?"I stutter, my back still faced towards him.

"Since sixth grade." Oh my. I run up to Tobias and give him a bear hug.

"That's awkward, cause I've liked you since last week."

"That's good enough for me." He winks. I smile. "So, movies tomorrow?"

"Well obviously."

"Good. I'll pick you up at seven. Wait, let's just hang out until the movies."

"Okay." I tell him. "I should probably go home, it's getting really late."

"Tris, I live next door to you, I'll walk you home." I mentally slap myself.

"Oh yeah." We walk until we reach my house. "I had fun, we should hang out more often." I kiss his cheek, and head towards my house. I turn around and see Tobias quietly cheering to himself. I laugh, and head towards my house.

I wake the next morning all happy and giggley. I changed into a red tank top with a blue skater skirt, and a white cardigan. I straightened my hair, and apply some red lipstick and eyeliner. Once I finish, I go downstairs. I see my mom making pancakes and bacon.

"Good morning sweetie." She greets me.

"Morning." I grab a plate and dig into my meal. Sooner or later, Caleb comes rushing down.

"Oh, it smelled so good upstairs." He eats his breakfast within seconds.

"What did the food ever do to you?" I try to joke.

He scoffs. "I'm going to school, bye Mom!" He hugs her,

"Bye to you too!" I call after him. After I finish my breakfast, I say goodbye to my mother and head towards my mustang. When I get to school, I am greeted by Tobias.

"I was thinking, because we are going to the movies after we hang out and stuff after school, might as well just ride with me?" He asks. I'm a little disappointed at first, because he treats 'us' as if nothing important happened last night. But I ignore it, I don't want to sound all clingy and crap.
