Chapter Three
Four's POV
I watch Tris carefully, as if to be inspecting her, while she listens to music. Her incredible wit leaves me in awe. I haven't met a single person that hasn't been intimidated by me. Yet, here sits the very girl who hates me with a passion and quiet frankly would take any moment she can to humiliate me like I did to her. I still remember Lauren smiling at, with, Tris as if they were friends. I knew better. I knew what Lauren was planning to do. I knew what I had to do to keep my reputation. I was snapped out of my thoughts to see Tris trying to walk past me, which is hard to do considering the bus seats and my legs are close together.
"You could have asked me to move, if you wanted me to" I say with a smirk.
She glares at me but continues. She would've fallen on her face in the process if I hadn't grabbed her hip with one hand and shoulder with the other. Her shirt lifts slightly but enough for me to feel a strip of her bare skin. She looks at me with wide eyes and I see a whole different Tris. A Tris that doesn't hate quickly changes when her eyes narrow and she shoves my hands off of her. She walks off the bus, which stopped at a rest stop. Confused, I start to get off the bus and as soon as my feet touch the ground I feel a pair of lips on mine. I push the person away to see a very hurt Lauren.
"Sorry I didn't know it was you."
" How could you not know!?"
"I don't know Lauren it's not a big deal so just calm down." I don't know why I said that but it's a relief to know she won't want anything to do with me for a while.
"Fine, be like that. Call me when you're done being little girl." She storms off.
I run my hand through my hair, sighing. I start to follow her so I can "apologize" but she goes into the girls bathroom before I catch her.
"I never knew guys could be just as hormonal as girls" I hear a low, yet firm voice say.
"I never knew Prior's stuck there nose in everyones business. Does it run in the family?" I turn around, and for the first time, she looks like my words hurt her.
"I don't have a family anymore." She walks away without saying another word.
