Divergent Faction High

Chapter 44 (Tobias POV) Hehehe

Me and Tris cuddle and watch tv in her bed upstairs while her family makes dinner.

"You good?" I ask, kissing her temple.

"I'm excellent Tobias. I have my family, and I have you."

We kiss and we talk about our trip to Costa Rica. Tris's eyes light up almost instantly when I bring it up, and I smile. I love seeing her happy.

"I'm so excited! I'm gonna be on the beach everyday in the cutest bikinis and I'm gonna be tan!" She shrieks.

"You don't have to be tan, you're beautiful."

"Aww, thanks babe." She says, giving me a cheeky smile.

"Dinners ready!" Tris's mother yells.

We run down the stairs and look at the table. A basket of rolls sits in the middle of the table, along with some loaded mashed potatoes and steak. Me and Tris sit next to each other, I face Caleb and Tris faces her mother and father. We all dig in, devouring the delicious food that has been graced on the table.

"Mmm, this food is so good!" I say kindly.

"Why thank you Tobias." Tris's mother says.

"We appreciate you joining us Tobias, especially now that everything is back to normal." Caleb says.

"Everything's better than it was before." Tris states matter-of-factly.

"I agree." I say, looking over at her.

We all eat dinner and talk, and it feels like I'm apart of the family. Not just because I'm Tris's boyfriend, but how nice her family is.

This is the kind of hospitality that I wish my family had.

Once we're all finished with dinner, I help them all with the dishes and thank them for having me over.

"I had a great time Mr. and Mrs. Prior."

"We're glad you did." Mrs. Prior says nicely.

"Again, sorry if I was being rude or disrespectful to-"

"It's fine young man. Don't worry about it." Mr. Prior says.

"Thanks." I say, grateful for their gratitude.

Before I walk to the front door, I feel Tris's hand on mine, and I look back at her.

"Thank you Tobias." She smiles.

"You're welcome."

Tris's eyes sparkle as she grins at me, and the familiar warm feeling runs through me. I kiss her gently and I can feel her parents eyes on me, but I don't care. I run a hand through her hair and smile at her. We kiss again, and I put a hand on her waist.

"Goodnight Tris." I say against her lips.
She shivers and a smile tugs at my mouth. I love that.

"Goodnight Tobias." She says against my lips before kissing my cheek.

I open the door and walk out to my Audi, and drive myself home. When I get home, I immediately go up to my bathroom. Just as I'm about to take off my clothes, I hear a loud bang coming from downstairs. I slowly walk down the stairs, and see nothing.

I'm just being paranoid.

I turn around to walk up the stairs and I see someone wearing a horse mask. I'm startled by it, and I stumble backward, knocking into the bookshelf.
The person in the horse mask soon rolls down the stairs, laughing like the Joker. He rips off the mask and I give him that are you serious?! look. Uriah.

"Uriah what the hell?" I ask.

"You wanna go get McDonalds?" He says in a high pitched voice.

"Uriah, go home. I'll get some with you in the morning." I say, rubbing my forehead.

"Okay!" He says and puts the horse mask back on before running down the street, screaming at the top of his lungs. I see Zeke wearing nothing but his boxer briefs and he's putting on a pig mask and screaming once he runs out of the door.

Only a Dauntless student would experience things like this.

The next morning, I hear my doorbell being rung non stop, and I go downstairs to answer it. Uriah. In normal form, I hope.

"What're you doing here?" I ask while stretching my arms.

"You said we'd get McDonalds." He perks.

"Oh, yeah! Let me get dressed." I say.

"Thanks man! I'm starving. Marlene and I hit the sheets and we both have the munchies so I promised that I'd bring her a McGriddle."

"Didn't need to know that much but okay." I chuckle at him.

"Me and Zeke got dared last night, that's why we were in your house."

"I figured that," I laugh. "That sounds fun."

"I know. I already knew you'd be with Tris so, I didn't want to interrupt." He says pervertedly.

"Uriah."

"Tobias."

"Just get in your car, I'll be out in like 5 minutes, I have to get dressed."

"Okay man!" He says and skips out the door.

That's Uriah Pedrad for you. Zekes biological little brother, my best friend, and non related little brother.

1 WEEK LATER

I grab the suitcase out of my closet and throw it on my bed and open it. I put in my swimsuits and other clothing, and a few other things. Today, me and Tris are leaving for Costa Rica.

Our 2 week paradise.

I can hardly wait.

I take my suitcase once it's fully packed and put it in the trunk. I drive to Tris's house, a smile spread across my face the whole time I drive. Once I get there, I knock on the door and it almost instantly opens. Tris stands in front of me, her carry-on bag in her hand.

"I was just about to ask if you're ready but I can tell that you are." I laugh.

"I am so ready Tobias you have no idea!" She screeches.

"I love seeing you so excited." I smile.

"I haven't ever been out of the country, of course I'm excited." She replies.

"C'mon, let's go. We don't want to miss our flight." I say.

We walk out of the door, hand in hand, and drive to the airport. About 45 minutes later, we arrive. The airport is really busy, probably because it's summer and lots of people are going on vacations. Once we're done being checked for any weapons or anything that can get dangerous, we head to our plane. Tris literally is bouncing in her seat like a little kid.

"Tris! Calm down." I chuckle.

"I just still can't believe that we're going to to Costa Rica!" She says before squealing and clapping her hands together.

"We deserve an escape." I say.

"I won't waste a minute of it either."

After about an hour of waiting for takeoff, we're finally flying. Tris gaze out of the window in astonishment, and I smile.

"This is so cool! Look at the clouds!" She says.

"It is isn't it?

"It's really pretty." She says softly.

"You're pretty." I sheepishly smile.

"You're very good looking." She says.

"I'm liking this." I say playfully.

She gives me a kiss and we spend the whole flight looking out of the window, looking at the sky and how high in the air we are. Tris soon falls asleep, and I do the same.
