Divergent High

Chapter 43

"Woah. Now I understand why Four is so mad.." Zeke smirks looking between Dale and I.

"Oh, hey there Zeke." I wave nervously. Dale takes a step closer to me and Zeke raises his eyebrows curiously. I roll my eyes and walk to where Zeke is standing by his car.

"You ready to go?" He asks eyeing Dale protectivly.

"I can take her home." Dale speaks up moving in front of me.

"Too bad. Come on Tris." Zeke motions for me to come on, but I don't move. Zeke groans and crosses his arms leaning on the car.

"Zeke.... can we please wait a little bit before we go?" I beg wanting to spend more time with Dale.

"Well, I have to go soon, I have a date with Shauna." He states and I give him puppy dog eyes. "But I suppose as long as you got home somtime today......" Zeke adds skeptically.

"Yay! You can go and get ready for your date. I'll get dropped off at Fours, don't worry." I inform him and he nods slowly.

"Just don't tell Four, because he will kick my ass if he knows I left you here with him." Zeke glances at Dale who is just smirking. I grin and walk with Dale back towars the reasturant. I feel bad for Tobias, but my joy of seeing Dale is overcoming it.

"He acts like he's your dad." Dale scoffs as we walk back to where Ben and Noah are seated. I shrug and slide into the booth.

"You two have a good 'talk'?" Noah wiggles his eyebrows and I glare at him.

"Yes, actually." Dale states smugly.

"So just out of curiousity, did all of you drop out of high school?" I ask. I know Dale dropped out in 11th grade to be recruited, but I was wondering about the other two.

"Well, Noah and I graduated last year." Ben explains and I nod in understanding.

"So tell us Tris, what's been going on in your life?" Dale munches on left over fries from my plate.

"Not much." I shrug not wanting to explain my problems in front of them.

"Its already 2:36 and I wanted to take you to this cute little cupcake shop I found in town." Dale tells me excitedly and I chuckle.

"Okay." He pays for everyones food, us four start walking down the road to the cupcake shop Tobias and I went to. Weenter it and a new girl was at the counter. We all order and take a seat at a small table near the window.

"This place is to die for..." Noah moans ordering a triple chocolate cupcake and I agree already biting into the one I got.

"Remember when we ordered hundereds of cupcakes and had them delivered to the princible!" Dale brings up and I start to laugh.

"What's so wrong with that?" Ben asks confused and Noah copies his expression of confusion.

"Well, he was allergic to the kind we bought and was puffed up for weeks!" I exclaim at the memory and start the cry laughing.

"Good times.." Dale says and I nod.

"Yes they were." I grin. I feel my phone viberating and I see Tobias is calling. I finish off my cupcake before I pick up.

"One sec, he's calling." I tell the boys and they quiet down a bit.

"Hey. Just wanted to make sure your okay..." He asnwers and I inwardly smile that he's checking up on me.

"Yeah I'm fine. Are you mad at me?" I ask nervously. I guess I was kind of bitchy about this situation.

"N- well kimd of. I mean how would you feel if I kiss a random girl who I claim I was in loved with? Shit Tris, never mind we shouldn't talk about this over the phone." Ouch, I would probably beat the crap out of that girl.
