Chapter 1 – The party
Tris' POV
I miss him, even though I shouldn't miss him. He's my best friend's big brother, and it's wrong in so many ways. I honestly don't know when it started; when I started looking at him differently.
I remember this episode when I was about 12 years old. Uriah and I were playing around at the chasm. These guys, a year older than Uriah and I, started teasing us. In the beginning it was fun, but that beginning was way too short. The jokes became harsh words and the poking turned into actually blows. It went for one thing to another in seconds and neither Uriah nor I had time to do anything, but luckily for us someone else had. "Stop!" That was the only word needed from Zeke, Uriah's big brother, for them to run away. Everyone knew who Zeke was and nobody would go against him, even though he was only 14 years old at that time. I'm not sure if my crush started before that or not, but I know with certainty that it had been there since that episode.
I'm almost 17 years old and I still have a crush on him. I don't know how exactly I've managed to keep it a secret for everyone, especially Uriah and Zeke himself, but somehow I have and I'm glad. I'm honestly really embarrassed about it, because seriously who has a crush on a guy for 5 years and don't give up? Apparently me.
I know how Zeke sees me; like his little sister; just like I see Uriah as a brother. The Pedrad family has always been there for me, and their home has been my second home from the day I was born. It's like my safe place, and I couldn't be more thankful. It's not always easy for me at home because I'm different from my family; it's like I don't belong there. It's actually not me who doesn't belong here. It's them. My mom and dad both shifted from abnegation to dauntless at their choosing ceremony when they got 16, which was a mistake. They are too selfless and way to nice to be here. I've no idea how they survived the initiation but somehow they did. Caleb, my brother, also doesn't belong here, so it didn't surprise my parents and me when he chose erudite at our choosing ceremony.
"You're done for today Tris" a voice interrupts my thoughts.
I settle with a nod and leave the control room. This is where I work when I don't train initiates. They didn't need any more leaders when I finished my initiation with very good results, so I chose this instead which I'm happy about. I prefer working initiates, but watching the dauntless territory can, surprisingly enough, also be interesting.
I make my way to the dining hall to eat dinner. When I walk through the doors I can't help but smile at my friends all siting together laughing. Uriah, Lynn, Marlene, Will and Christina are all there. I wish we sat together with Zeke but since his initiation, which is now 3 years ago, he hasn't been eating with us. I barely see him anymore and its affects me way more than it should. You should think I would forget about him when I don't really see him, but it's the exact opposite. Now when I finally do see him; thousands of butterflies start moving inside me. He's always so sweet but in a very cool way. I'm also pretty sure he becomes hotter every time I see him, if that's even possible.
"So Tris, you're on?" Christina asks.
"Uh, sorry what are we talking about?" I really have to stop thinking so much in public.
"The party?"
I'm guessing I still look kind of lost, because she carries on.
"Party at the chasm with all of us of course, but also Zeke and his friends?"
I don't have to think long about this one. Zeke will be there so my answer is kind of obvious.
"Sounds great!"
"Perfect" Uriah says.
"Waits did you say at the chasm Christina?" I can't help but ask.
"Yeah she did" Uriah answer. "But it's cool Tris, we'll have each other to safe each other, perfect right?"
We all just laugh it off and continue the small talk while eating.
"So Tris what are you going to wear?" Christina asks.
"Um, well I wasn't really thinking about changing. Is that so wrong?"
"Wrong? Are you serious right now Tris?! There is no way I will let you go to a party looking like that!"
"Ouch Chris" I say actually a bit hurt.
"Sorry... I didn't mean it like that. It just it's a party Tris, and all of Zeke's hot older friends is going to be there, which means we have to look really hot to get a chance!"
I just laugh and shake my head. Chris isn't dressing up for any of Zeke's friends, but for our one and only Will. He's been in our group since initiation, and if it wasn't because of my own insane crush on Zeke, I would definitely think Chris was crazy.
"Okay so what do I wear? I have nothing, as in seriously nothing." I state.
Christina answers by throwing a black dress in my head. As soon as I try it on I'm ready to take it right off again. It goes to my mid thighs and its sit tight from top to bottom.
"NO! You're wearing it Tris, no arguments. It's not even open in the top and you look sexy as hell but in a very pretty way." Chris says with a big smile on her mouth at the same time.
I can't help but smile myself when I look in the mirror, I really do look good. Maybe Zeke will finally notice me. I can only hope.
We leave our apartment and goes to Uriah where we're going to have our warm up party. The music is loud and clear way before we gets there and there is clearly already a lot of people. Christina just throws up the door since it would be a waste of time knocking.
"Tris, Tris, Tris! Finallyyyyyy!" Uri yell as he come crashing into me.
"Hey Uri" I laugh and we hug.
"I'll go find Will" Christina says and in the next second she's gone in the crowd.
"Drink?" Uri ask.
"Yes please!"
As we make it to the kitchen I can't help noticing how wasted people already are. I'm definitely already behind. Uri gives me a beer and I open it right away and take a small sip. I haven't really gotten used to the alcohol yet, even though I've been drinking a couple of times now.
"For celebration of your arrival to what's going be an amazing night!" Uri say and gives me a shot glass in my other hand. The content is completely clear so there's no need for me to ask what's in it.
"Cheers" we both shouts as we take the vodka shot.
I'm pretty small, doesn't weigh much, and it's still really rare for me to drink alcohol so I don't need much to get drunk. I've only tried to get a little too much once. It was at the party when we celebrated that our initiation was finish. I remember everything from that night so it wasn't that bad, I just got a bit hyped and after that dizzy, but it was a really great night anyways.
"So what is the plan for tonight Tris?" Uri ask with a smirk.
"What?" I ask, honestly a bit nervous.
"I mean do I've to stop drinking now, in case you're going to get totally wasted?"
"Omg no, that's definitely not the plan Uri!"
"Right Tris" he laughs. "If not, then why don't we both take once more of these and gets the party started for real?" He ask filling up our shot glasses.
I raise my hand while saying "For having an amazing party night without getting totally wasted!" And with that we empty our glasses.
The next hour is mostly spent with dancing and drinking games. I'm pretty convinced that Uri and Chris have agreed on trying to make me drunk, because they certainly both try. Jamie, a guy I've learn to know after the initiation, is also on board with the plan. Jamie is one of the guys who clearly have a thing for me, just like a bunch of other guys, but I've never done anything about it since I've only had my eyes on Zeke.
By the end of our fifth card game I've no idea how much I've been drinking, but I don't even feel drunk.
"Soooo, the clock is almost midnight and that's when Zeke said they would be at the chasm." Uri shouts to drown the music. By the way he slings out his words I'm aware he's drunk, or at least very close to being drunk. I really hope Zeke is just as drunk! If not, he'll probably get really mad at us.
Since the most of us dauntless is pretty reckless most of the time, we're not allowed to drink until we're 18 years old. But as long as we're in an apartment where there are no cameras, we have nothing to worry about.
Zeke may be reckless, cool and funny himself but he still follows the orders at any time. Uri and I ... not so much! I've no idea how many times Uri and I have jumped on a train just to get away from the dauntless, even though it's not allowed.
"Then let's go!" I shout back to Uri. All the others agree with shouts and cheers.
As I stand up I almost falls back down right away, but an Arm grab me around the waist and keep me steady. Jamie. I give him a thankful smile and take my arm around him as well. Wow, I'm seriously drunk. Out of the corner of my eye I see Chris and Uri give each other a high five.
"Uri don't you have some bottles we can fill up and take with us?" Lynn asks.
"Who do you think I am? Of course I have Lynn" he answers in a proud tone.
"Yay!" Christina literally screams. I can't help myself echoing it, and we all break into uncontrollable laughter.
"Here we go my great, great friends!" Uri says as he comes back from the kitchen with his arms full of bottles. Everyone take at least one, including all of the other people at our warm up party.
"Then lets gooooooo" I shout as I try run to the door. I don't get very long before I stumble over my own feet's. My head hit the floor a bit hard so I stay still, lying on the floor for a second, at least until I'm able to focus on what is exactly in front of me.
The laughter in the background is interrupted by Uri.
"Tris! You okay down there?"
"I might need some help getting up" I admit giggling.
"You think?!" Uri laugh while giving me a hand.
Even though he smiles I can see the worries in his eyes. He's just as protective at me as his brother is. Zeke. Oh no. I can't let Zeke see me like this, not when I'm this drunk.
Sooo, what do you guys thinks? This is only the pre-party and clearly Tris is already long gone … whoops. How will Uri takes care of a totally wasted Tris, while he's drunk himself? Who exactly is this Jamie guy? And most importantly; how will Zeke react? Find out in the next chapter, which is on its way :-)
See you soon
