For all leaving a review! I appreciated all your kind words and I encourage the rest of my readers to also leave a review, whether it be constructive criticism or just saying that you like the story! Reviews really make my day! Thank you all! And now, chapter 2
Tris's POV
I turn to Uriah. "Who was that and what's his problem?" I ask referring to Zeke's friend with the deep blue eyes who bumped into us.
Uriah gives me a confused look.
"You know, the guy who just bumped into us? Blue eyes? Was sitting by Zeke?"
"Ohhh. Four?" Uriah laughs. "His name is Four. He and Zeke are best friends, have been for 10 years now. Anyways, I don't know why, but he sure looked pissed off, and when he gets pissed, he doesn't really care who he bumps into, if you're in his way, beware."
I nod. We continue talking about useless things with Marlene once we find her, but I just keep thinking about those startling blue eyes, I can't seem to get them out of my head.
Four's POV
So far, my day has been awful. You'd think it would be a great day. First day of my senior year, me and my best friend Zeke are the most popular guys in school, but no my day has been terrible. It started first hour, when I saw her. She was walking with Zeke's little brother Uriah. She was amazing. She had long wavy blond hair and was short and small, but perfect. She had an aura of confidence that made her shine. And her laugh was contagious.
I spent all of first period thinking about how to approach her, but then the bell rang and I was just getting the courage to walk up and talk to her, but then I saw Uriah put his arm over her shoulder. Of course she has a boyfriend. She is perfect, beautiful and kind. I should've expected that she and Uriah were dating; I mean they did walk into class together.
I can't take it, so I sweep my stuff off my table and walk out the door, brushing past them on my way out.
Next hour, Zeke passes me a note. It says
What's up man? Ever since the end of first hour, you've been…off…
What happened? Was it Lauren?
I sigh and start scribbling a note back. (A/N: Just so you all know, in my story, Lauren is Four's ex-girlfriend, but she is kinda the school slut in this story, just so you know)
I'm fine, mad at myself more than anything. I was being naive and stupid…
and now I'm paying for it.
I see Zeke's eyes skim over the note. He writes something quickly and passes it to me.
We need to talk. Whatcha doing after school?
I look at him and do the sign language sign for nothing. He scribbles something again.
Ok, meet me at the Chasm directly after school.
You have a lot to tell me.
I sigh. I really don't want to tell Zeke what's going on, but I have to. He's my best friend, and he always tells me these sort of things, and maybe it will help to get it off my chest.
The rest of the period goes by in a blur and the next thing I know, it's time for the self-defense class that I am the teacher of. I make my way to Gym 4 and prepare myself for what is to come.
Tris's POV
After English, I find Christina and we head to Gym 4 for our self-defense class. I ignore her as she keeps talking about her and Will's date on Friday, because I really don't care. I take a seat on the benches that are set up around the training gym.
People start coming in, until there are 9 of us in the room, including me and Christina, I notice Al is here, which is not a good sign, especially considering the hungry glances he keeps sending my way, which causes me to tense up.
Christina notices too. "Tris…it's ok, I'm right here, I won't let him go near you." Al is my ex-boyfriend, and he ended up trying to abuse me with his friends Peter and Drew, but Uriah found me and saved me before they did anything.
Then, Al starts to get up and move toward me, but at that moment, Four walks in, and yells for everyone to take their seats, and for some odd reason, Al listens, but then when I glance back at my schedule, I understand why. Four is our instructor.
Four's POV
When I walk in, I see Tris sitting with some girl—great, now Tris can torment me by her being in the class that I am instructing. I look back at Tris, and she looks nervous, and that's when I notice this huge burly guy about to walk toward her, and I get it. So I yell "EVERYONE TAKE YOUR SEATS." And he obliges.
"As some of you may know," I begin. "my name is Four. I am a senior here and I play football and run track. I will be your instructor in this self-defense class for the rest of the semester, and I expect you pay close attention, because you will be ranked, if you don't rank in the top 10 when adding all of you with the other class, which makes 20 people, you will get an F in this class and it will not count towards your credits, so I suggest you listen up. Not only is this class about self-defense, it's about being brave, so you will be going through some fear simulations to face your fears. But today, we will be practicing using guns."
I hand them all out and show them how to shoot. Tris doesn't do great but not terribly either. By the time class is over, they all look exhausted, the only person who doesn't is Tris, and I'm not surprised.
Tris's POV
After the self-defense class, me and Christina make our way to lunch, she goes and sits by Will, Lynn and Marlene, but I notice that Uriah is sitting with Zeke and his friends and Uriah and Zeke both call me over, and Chris says she doesn't care, so I walk over and sit in the empty seat beside Uriah, which happens to be across from Four. I notice him staring at me, so I stare back. We keep staring for a few minutes until Zeke says
"Hey Tris, you excited for the party on Friday?"
"What party?" I ask. "You never let me and Uri come to your parties, you say we are too young and innocent so you always send Uri to my house for the night."
Zeke grins. "Didn't I tell you? Now that you and Uri are officially upper classmen, I am throwing my biggest party yet in honor of you and Uri growing up and becoming mature adults! So, you and Uriah will be attending your first ever 'Pedrad Party' and because the party is in you two's honor, people are bringing you guys gifts and it's going to be huge!"
I laugh. "are you kidding Zeke? You are actually throwing me and Uriah a party? And letting us go to it?
Zeke and Uriah both nod. "Can you believe it Tris? Zekey is finally being nice to us, after all those years of being his slave I think have paid off." Uriah says winking.
"Ha. Ha. You guys are hilarious. Love you too." Zeke replies.
I grin and say "We love you too Zekey." And we all start laughing, well everyone except Four….
So what did you guys think? I know it's not my best chapter, I guess it's kinda a filler chapter, but I had to get all this info out before I can get onto the good stuff, but I have already started writing the next chapter and I think it may be my favorite yet! :) Anyways, I will try to update again tomorrow, because we have a "Cold Day" so no school and I'll probs be bored which means more updates for you all! Thanks again to all you lovely readers, and please don't forget to Review, because you may get a shoutout! Thanks again!
