Hey guys! Read and Review! Thank you for taking time to read my stories. It really means a lot to me.

Tris' POV:

Uriah and I have been best friends since we were born. My and his mom are best friends, so we basically grew up together like siblings. I don't know what I would do without him and his older brother Zeke. My brother, Caleb, on the other hand, wouldn't love anything more than to be rid of them. I don't know why he doesn't want anything to do with them, but he hates them wholeheartedly.

Anyways, Uri and I are in the same grade, we're juniors at Dauntless High. One more year and we get to rule the school. I'm so excited, I can not wait, and I know Uriah feels the same way. This year, from our little family at school, Zeke, Shauna, Four, and Eric, get to rule the school. Now when I say rule the school, I mean they get to choose what sports are gonna be run this year and they get to choose the captains and all that. I know it doesn't sound all that important, but here at Dauntless, sports and athleticism are the most important aspects in our school. Uriah and I do everything together. While he does football, I do cheer, while he does basketball, I do basketball, while he does track and field, so do I. It's really nice because we never get enough of hanging out. When I hang out with him, there is nothing missing in life. I mean, sure, everyone talks about getting a boyfriend or girlfriend, but I tried that with Four and it didn't work. He didn't trust me and I didn't trust him mainly because of his past with Uriah. He called himself our friend and then he went and slept with Uriah's girlfriend at the time. It just was not healthy at all, so we broke up on a mutual agreement. Now, though, I have my best friend and that is all I need. Plus, Four and I are talking and getting closer. I wouldn't say that I love him, but I do care about him. Recently, Marlene and Uriah have been 'talking' and he seems to be happier around her. I feel this sensation in my chest that I refuse to admit is jealousy. I have no reason to be jealous, I mean he's my best friend, that's it.

Uriah's POV:

We're sitting in our Pre-Calculus class and Tris seems to be lost in thought. I nudge her to get her attention, but nothing. Hmm, I wonder what she could be thinking about. I notice across the room, Marlene is glaring at Tris. I don't know why, but Marlene gets kind of annoyed whenever Tris is around or in the room. I have a suspicion that she is just jealous of my relationship with Tris. I mean yeah, Tris is gorgeous and she makes me happy, but I really like Mar. Tris is like a sister to me and I hate to say it, but she will probably only ever be a sister to me. Wait, what? Did I just say that I "hate" to say she will never be more? If I did, it's not what I meant. Besides her and Four seem to be getting close again. It doesn't bother me, she deserves to be happy, but with him? Why? My last girlfriend cheated on me with him, and she knows that! She should know that he is trouble. The last time they "tried things out," she came out hurt because they couldn't trust each other and then they both just broke it off. Why is she going back to him?

She glares at me because I refused to help her on the homework. Then she reaches over and pats my thigh reassuringly and then grabs my hand. She does that. Whenever I feel down, or like I can't think, it's like she already knows what's happening in my mind. I immediately calm down and my mind stops racing a million miles a second. My arm feels a little tingly, and my chest feels warm. Why? How come now? No! I can't do this to her, if she wants to be with Four, I'm not going to interrupt her chances or ruin them in any way. I was the reason why she and Four broke up last time because he thought that my relationship with Tris was more than friendship. No, I will ask Marlene to homecoming tonight. It's supposed to be Marlene and me, and Four and Tris. No other way and I will have to keep telling myself that.

[Not good at cute mushy scenes, so I'm not gonna be including the scene where he asks Marlene to homecoming, just know that it was cute and she loved it!]

THE NEXT DAY

Tris' POV:

He asked her. He asked her to homecoming a couple of days ago. My gut wrenches whenever I think about it. That simple act of asking her out has set off all these different actions into motion. He no longer sits by me in Chemistry, Pre-Calculus, or British Literature. Instead, he sits by Marlene, his new girlfriend. She smirked at me when he asked and I have never wanted to kill anyone more than I did at that moment. He no longer wants to hang out after school, he stays after with her and they sit in the cafeteria doing homework and making out. That's supposed to be me! Wait, what? No, I just meant the homework thing, right? The only time I actually get to spend time with him is when we're in our P.E. class and that's only because Marlene has it a different hour than we do.

The final bell just rang and Uriah is coming towards me, "Hey, Tris, where we headed?"

"Oh, so noooww you want to hang out with me?" I sarcastically growl and keep walking to my locker. He steps in front of my locker so that I am forced to look at him.

"What's wrong, Tris?"

"Nothing." Everything. You're with Marlene. You never have time for me. She makes you happier.

"Come on, Tris! Let's go hang out at the Dauntless Cafe and do our homework while enjoying a Dauntless Cake!" he exclaims and I just roll my eyes at him, gaining a hurt expression. A part of me begins to apologize, but the other part of me reminds me of the way Marlene and him make out.

"I'm busy, sorry. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get my stuff and meet Four at the Dauntless Cafe for a date. Why don't you go find Marlene or something?" I tell him flat-out and rudely, biting my lip, lying. He steps back, hurt and turns away from me.

"Geez, I missed my best friend, but fine," he walks away slowly, looking back at me a couple of times. I roll my eyes and grab my stuff to leave.

A part of me breaking off and walking away with him. The one part that no one else will ever be able to get, because he took it. My heart.

I go out to my car and sit in the driver's side and start balling my eyes out and screaming. I don't have a 'date' with Four. I just didn't want to hang out with Uriah at the moment.

Next thing I know, he's in the passenger seat reaching over, he pats my thigh and then grabs my hand. Not what I wanted, but it's the best thing I can get right now.

"What do you want?" I look down at my lap.

"I wanted to hang out with you, but you just push me away. I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry," he whispers.

"Why aren't you with Marlene?" I choke out, attempting not to break down at her name.

"I was on my way to go hang out with her, but then I realized, you were biting your lip when you said that you had to go meet up with Four. You always bite your lip when you're lying. So I texted Marlene telling her I was going to hang out with you instead, she got pissed and started to tell me that it seemed more like I was dating you, rather than her. I got mad at her and told her that you were my best friend and that you will always come first to me. She didn't appreciate that, but it's okay. I don't care what she thinks when it comes to my friendships," he says as he rubs his finger across the top of my hand.

I feel the sparks and wonder if he does too.

Uriah's POV:

I wonder if she felt the sparks that I felt. Yeah, Marlene was livid when I told her that I was choosing to hang out with Tris over her. A part of me felt bad, but the other part of me was actually happy. I was thinking about my interaction with Tris as I was walking away and by the time, I was already on the other side of the school, I realized she bit her lip and the majority of my body wanted to jump up and down with joy. It meant that she had been lying about her date with Four, and I can't believe I am saying this, but I couldn't be any happier. He doesn't deserve her. She is too good for him, I mean, she's too good for anyone, but especially him. He'll just end up cheating on her, like how my ex-girlfriend cheated on me WITH him.

"Tris, tell me what's wrong?" he whispers.

"There's nothing wrong," I bite my lip and he gives me a pointed look.

"Come on, Tris, let's go," he gets out of the car and comes over to my door, opening it.

"Where?" I ask.

"You'll see," he grabs my hand and tugs me along. He walks me to the park beside the school, and he sits in one of the swings, I sit in the other. He reaches across and grabs my hand. We swing like this for quite a while and then he asks me what's wrong again. I just shake my head, trying to get him to give up. Eventually, he won't have any other choice.

"Alright, fine, come on, you're coming home with me!" he exclaims. I look at him confused and he just winks at me, smiling. I can't help but smile when he smiles at me like that. I don't know what he's planning, and I can't say I'm not excited.

He pulls me towards my car and he reaches into my back pocket, with no care in the world, to get my keys. He's done that same thing, a million other times. This time, for some reason, is different. I felt the sparks again. It's like a fire in my belly being fueled or even ignited. When he's around, this fire burns, it's fiery hot flames tickle my throat, giving me the chills. I get in the passenger side and he gets in the driver's side. Our hands meet at the center console, just like every other time, we're in the same car, but this time is different again. The sparks fly. Does he feel it too? I hope he does because then he'd realize that he belongs wi-no, no, no, I am not going to complete that sentence.

He takes us to a gas station, where he tells me to stay in the car, a few minutes later, he comes out carrying five different bags full of items. I'm about to ask him what he bought, but he just shakes his head and puts it all in the trunk. I frown when he goes back into the store, but then I smile when he comes out with two slushies, one blue, and purple, and the other is pink and green. He hands me the blue and purple one, my favorite.

"What are we doing, Uriah?" I ask him, smiling, already knowing what it is.

"We're going back to the old days when this was all we did," he smiles and grabs my hand as he pulls out of the parking lot. I can't stop smiling. We're going back to like 7th and 8th grade when all we ever did was hang out with each other. No boys, no girls, just me and Uriah. We get to his house and I see my mom's car in their driveway. I smile and run inside, setting my slushie down on the counter, I run into the living room, where my mom and Hana, Uriah's mom, are sitting and gossiping. She laughs and hugs me, I hug her back. I then go and hug Hana, giving them both a kiss on the cheek.

"Mooommm! Tris and I are going to be in my room!" Uriah calls from the hallway.

"Okay, sweetie! Have fun!" she calls back. I smile at them both then go to the kitchen to get my slushie, then I head up the stairs to Uriah's room. This house has so many memories for me. This is where I first sprained my ankle and broke my arm. This is where I had my first kiss, who happened to be Zeke. (For the longest time, I had a crush on him and in 6th grade, he was in 7th, and we did what middle schoolers consider 'dating,' which was just holding hands in the halls and basically just talking about things we thought were important at the time. We laugh about it now because it's pretty funny. We 'broke up' because we both reached a point where we would laugh whenever the other one said: "I love you." In this very house, Uriah and I have had so many sleepovers, as well as movie nights and gaming nights. We made a pact when we actually first started doing these and others wanted to join, we made a pact that it would forever only be him and I thing. We have held true to that since the 5th grade. He's the best friend I could ever ask for.

We get up to his room and I crawl on his bed and get under the covers as he puts in our favorite movie, Full Metal Jacket. I smile as he crawls in bed next to me, and then he spreads out all the snack and food on the bed. He leans back against his headboard and just like always, I lay my head in his lap. His hands automatically start playing with my hair. I grab the bag of sour gummy watermelons and start eating them one by one. Uriah taps my head a little and I look up at him and feed him a couple of them. He smiles and chews them. He looks down at me and winks. I giggle and go back to watching the movie. I didn't realize how much sleep I had lost because I was too busy thinking about him and Marlene.
