Tris pov

I'm sitting in my room typing away on my laptop finishing up an assignment for school when I hear loud noise coming from next door.

Tobias Eaton is having another party.

His parents go out for business trips a lot so when they are gone he has parties.

Tobias and I grew up together. My family would always go over his house and his family would always come over mine. I basically know his entire family.

The thing is we aren't close at all, we're friendly when it comes to dinners that our parents throw but we're not friends at all.

My brother Caleb walks into my room with my crying niece in his hands.

"Lindsey and I are trying to get her to bed but the music woke her up. Do you think you could go over and talk to Four about the music" my brother says holding his crying daughter.

Four is Tobias If any of you didn't pick up on that.

Lindsey is Charlie's Mom or my brother's girlfriend who I️ love and treat like a sister. Charlie is their baby. She just turned one a few weeks ago.

They are living here at my parents house till they can save up for their own place.

I can't wait to leave my parents house, I want a little more freedom. They are so strict with me because I'm the younger child, Caleb is one year older so he gets away with anything like getting a girl pregnant at 17.

So anyway it's my senior year of high school and while I'm focusing on my grades Tobias and the rest of the senior class is partying every time the Eaton's are gone.

"Why me? Why can't you do it?" I argue

"Because don't you see I'm busy" he says giving attitude.

"I'll go but you owe me." I say putting on my shoes

I grab a sweater to put on since it's a little chilly out.

I walk out my house and over the lawn to his to find a bunch of couples making out.

Everyone sees me and gives me strange stares.

I don't even bother knocking I just walk right in.

I search through the crowd of people and look for Four.

He's no where to be found.

A hand slides around my waist and I turn around to see it's him.

"What's up blondie? Nice of you to finally show up to one of my parties" he says and I cross my hands over my chest

I hate when he calls me that, he knows my name is tris. Just because I have blonde hair doesn't mean you have to call me a blondie.

"I'm not here for your dumb party I came to tell you about the music. It's too loud we're trying to put Charlie to sleep and she can't sleep because of all this loud music." I say

"How is that cute little baby" he ask with a smile

"She's good. We just can't get her to bed because your music is so loud" I say

"Fine I'll turn it down" he says

"Thanks Four" I say walking out

"Your welcome blondie" he says back

I'm almost back at my house when Tobias calls for me. I️ turn around and put my hands in my sweatpants pocket.

"What" I say
