Tris POV.
"Sargent Prior" He answers.
"Hi Dad"
"Oh, Bea. How are you, mom said you started at that thing today" That thing? Oh so this is not good enough for him.
"Yeah, everything is just great. You?" I ask, even though I really don't care.
"Same here. Listen, I know I said we could meet up tonight, but I forgot that I am brining Jeanine out to dinner" Oh her name was Jeanine, well who cares?
"Oh okay"
"You can join us if you want" He says, but I can tell that he doesn't really want me to say yes. And I can feel that I really don't want to say yes either.
"No, no. You and Jeanine should have some time together" I say with fake sweetness and understanding.
"Alright then. I have something for you, so I will just make one of the boys give it to you. He should be there in 20 minutes.
20 minutes later there is a knock on the door. I walk out to open it. There is a young man in a uniform, standing with a big box in his hands.
"Sargent Prior's daughter?" He asks with a little smile.
"Correct"
"Then this is for you" He hands me the box, and walk back to his jeep. I take the box up to my room, I wrap it open and I am not surprised by what it contains. I take the Lacrosse stick in my hands, flip it a couple of times and then walk over to my closet. I pull it open, and shove it in to the 6 other sticks. There are some balls, and 5 Under Armour jerseys too. If he keeps doing this, I will soon be able to start my own Lacrosse team.
Thinks he can buy my love.
My alarm goes off at 7.00 the next morning, I get up and get my gear and head to the park. I start to practice on my shots, I haven't been playing over the summer, so I am very rusty. After half an hour, it looks better. I make a shot that hit the post, and then goes in.
"Maybe you should try not to shoot that hard" I hear Thomas' voice behind me, I don't turn around, I just keep shooting.
"Can't I have a lot of anger inside me today" I let out a growl and fire, the ball goes way over.
"Then you need to control the anger, because right now it's ruining your aim" A unfamiliar male voice says, I turn around and look into Thomas' brown eyes at first, but then I turn my head and I am met by the most beautiful blue eyes in the world. The rest of him doesn't look bad either, well defined muscles, great face, wearing a sleeveless Under Armour jersey, that is just tight enough to see the abs through. I am snapped back to reality.
"This is Four Eaton, he is the new co leader. This is Tris" Thomas says gesturing towards him.
"Four? Like the number?" I ask, laughing a bit.
"Yeah, is that a problem?" His voice is cold, but there is something else in it as well.
"I don't know yet" I say, and I know I am being flabby and I am not supposed too, but he is an ass.
He just stares at me for a long moment, I start getting uncomfortable and so is Thomas.
"Careful Tris" He says and walks off, I look at Thomas with wide eyes.
"Intimidating right?" He says, I raise my eyes brows and nod.
"Very"
Soon we are all here, and we are gathered around Four.
"Okay Ladies! I'm the new Co leader, my name is Four. Today we are playing a game I invented, it's called Puntball" My concentration is disturbed by Christina leaning in and whispering.
"What's up with the new hot and scary teacher"
"Would you shut up please"
"Okay let's get to it" Four yells.
"Thank you very much, now I have no idea what we are doing" I hiss at Christina.
"You are both on my team" Uriah whispers behind us, we thank him and walk onto the field. It's basically just baseball, but instead of a batter, the player punt a football. Then it's the same rules as baseball. Pretty funny, but a bit weird as well. It's Four's turn to kick, and then it's me after him. He hits it perfectly, and can easily run a homerun. Then it's me, I take the ball in my hand and kick it as hard as I can. It goes way down the field, not as far as Four's, but it's a decent kick. I stop at the second base.
"You kick like a girl!" I hear Four yell, he looks at me with a smirk. I return the smirk.
"I am a girl. What's your excuse?!" I yell back, his smirk falls, which makes mine, grows even wider. By the end of the game my team win big, but, even though I hate to say it, it was all on Four. I am about to walk back to the school with the others, when a big hand grabs my arms. Holding me back.
"I start to think that you have a knack for making unwise decisions" He whispers in a firm voice, his ocean blue eyes holding mine. I shake it off.
"You were provoking me, I just provoked back" I say.
"Listen" He steps a little closer, his breath is tickling my cheeks. "I have nothing against smart mouths, but there is a line. Right now you are dancing on it" He says, taking a moment to hold my stare.
"Make sure not to cross it" He finishes.
"Or else" I challenge. He gives me a little smile.
"I don't think you want to find out" He says and turns around to walk away.
Leaving me there; frozen.
