Chapter 2 –
(Tris's P.O.V)
As I wait 10 more minutes for school to start, I think of some excuses I could use for not getting Will's books. I would tell them about running into four, but Christina would start squealing in my ear. And nobody wants to experience that, especially with Christina. Seriously, she should get an award for squealing so loud. My thoughts are interrupted by someone tapping on my shoulder, I look over to be met with those deep blue eyes that I could just drown in. "Um, hi school is about to start and we have the same schedules except for science, so if you wanted to walk together that would be nice, oh and I memorized where all the classes are" four says kind of out of breath. Then he quickly adds "Oh um, you don't have to." "Sure!" I say, giddy with happiness. He grins a little.
As four and I stroll down the halls, an idea pops into my head. "Hey four?" I ask quietly but loud enough for him to hear me. He slightly turns his head, but keeps walking. "Yes?" he questions back. "Have you ever thought of getting a makeover? I mean, not the lipstick kind of makeup of course, but like, you know getting contacts and like a new hairstyle?" I ask quietly hoping I didn't offend him. And he just grins. I am instantly relieved. "You know what? I will! ...Oh um, where should I get this 'makeover'?" he asks putting air quotes on makeover. "Uh…" is all that comes out. I didn't really think of where… Oh! I know! "Hey! How about I give you a makeover!" I say excitedly. "Oh! Sure!" he smiles. Oh that smile could make me melt, oh and – wait! Snap out of it Tris! "Well this is science." He says awkwardly. No, don't go! "Ok bye four!" I call since he's already walking away so he can get to his class on time. "Bye!" he calls back. I sigh, and then I walk into the classroom still in a bit of a daze. But I'm suddenly wide awake when Ms. Matthews or as I call her the evilest of all teachers, snaps a ruler right up in my face! "Beatrice! You're late! Why?!" she snaps. I cringe at my full name being used as a weapon. "I was showing the new kid, four around." I say back. It's not a complete lie. I did show him where we sit in the cafeteria, but that's about it. "Fine, your off the hook just this once. Just don't let it happen again." She huffs. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I walk to the back of the room, next to Christina. I can feel her eyes on me, probably wanting to squeal in my ear about walking with a boy. "Since Tris came in right after I explained everything about the test today, the test will be moved to tomorrow." Ms. Matthews grunts. Everyone in the room cheers and pats me on the back. Christina takes this as a chance to talk to me. "you are coming to my house after school, and you are going to spill everything you know about this four guy!" Christina practically screams in my ear. I groan. "Do I have to?" I pout. Christina gives me the look. "Yes Tris, yes you do." Christina says in a way that gives me the message to be quiet so I do. Even though it's the second day of school, I can already tell that this year is gonna be one of the best years ever.
