Holding Back

Tris POV

I'm in my last class of the day which is gym. The rest of the week flew by and I can't believe it's already Friday!

Uriah and Zeke ended up forgiving Tobias yesterday but things are still kinda awkward with them. Tobias was over yesterday and I overheard him telling Uriah and Zeke how he is taking Nita out after the game.

Uriah and Zeke didn't respond to him because they don't really like Nita but they don't wanna start another fight.

During gym, Amar keeps us inside because everything is getting set up outside. We play volleyball and thank god I was on Marlene and Shaunas team. I'm so bad at volleyball.

As soon as the bell rings, Chris drags me to the bathroom to get me ready for the game.

"Put makeup on when I get there." I tell her.

"I know." She says. "It's gonna be so different sitting in the stands this year."

Christina, Marlene and Shauna were all varsity cheerleaders but decided that they wanted to watch the game as seniors, so they quit.

"Done!" She says.

I look at myself in the mirror. My hair is pulled back and I'm wearing a tight black shirt with a gold slash across it and black leggings.

I check the time and start running to the meeting room where we always have our meetings. When I finally get there, I see Tobias sitting there with his warmups on.

"Wow, you're actually on time." I say.

He checks his phone and doesn't respond. It's exactly 3.

I sit down across from him and pull my phone out.

"Does Amar know that you're gonna be late?" I ask.

"Nope." He says.

"You're screwed." I say.

He nods. "I already know that."

We watch the clock hands move as minute but minute goes by.

"Jesus fuck, where is she!" Tobias mumbles.

We sit in silence, waiting for Tori to show up. Finally, she walks into the room.

"Sorry I'm late, I was coming from another meeting." Tori says.

"It's fine." I say.

"I know it's fine with you, Tris. Tobias speaks with his eyes so I know he is mad." She says.

"What do you mean?" He asks. "Wait never mind just get this started."

"Ok, tryouts are gonna be next Wednesday, and Tobias before you say you have practice, I don't care. You're practice starts at 3 and tryouts start at 3:30 so I better see you there at 3:30. We have to find an event for each person trying out and I'm gonna need your help." Tori says.

"Fine, I'll be there." Tobias says. "Amar's gonna yell at both of us though."

"Open your computers." She says. "We need to make a flyer for tryouts and have student gov tape them around the school."

I open my computer and open the doc that Tori sent. The doc shows all the requirements needed on our flyer.

"You two, make the flyer. I have to write a couple emails out." Tori says.

I invite Tobias to a document and start adding stuff.

"Am I gonna sit on the doc, or are you gonna give me stuff to do?" Tobias asks.
