Chapter 4

"Screw you Four Eaton!" I screamed through clenched teeth.

I gave up trying to study. I guess it's a bad idea to study while using a laptop and going through social media at the same time. You know what I'm talking about. The gossip spread like a wildfire.

"Pardon?"

I whipped my neck so fast I wonder why I didn't get a whiplash. Not that I want to.

I screamed.

He rushed to cover my mouth, trying to muffle a scream.

With the first thought I got, I bit him.

"FUCK!" he cursed.

Four Eaton is here. In my room. Okay keep calm Tris. Get your shit together.

"w-wh-WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I stuttered.

"Your mom invited me for dinner and asked me to come and get you" he said,"but I guess you're not dressed yet."

I groaned before stuffing my head under a pillow.

This is going to be one hell of a dinner.

xXx

The sun shines through the blinds.

I woke up with pounding in my head, better than last night, and my mouth tasted like something died in it.

I sat up holding my throbbing head and glance at my alarm clock by my bedside table.

7.52

shit.

"SHIT." I echoed my thought.

I scrambled off my bed before tripping on something

The impact made a thudding sound and i groaned at my throbbing knee.

Can I be any more unlucky?

The thing stirred and sat up.

"What happened?" his voiced oozed sleepiness.

god he sounds sexy.

the fuck tris?

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I asked in disbelief

"Be appreciative for once," he grumbled. "You fainted last night after vomiting. I had to take care of you since your family fled with my mother."

I recalled last night's events and just let out an "oh."

Remembering the time, I scrambled up and rushed to the toilet before i realized I sprained my goddamn ankle.

Great, just great.

xXx

I managed to get to school, at least. Even though I was a half hour late.

Every step I take is hell. It hurts so much.

I met the bunch during lunch where we clustered over our usual table.

"TRIS. WHERE WERE YOUU?" Christina flailed her arms as she shrieked catching the attention of the by passers.

I winced at her pitch and volume before breaking into a grin.

"Crazy day," I said as I plop down into the seat next to her," I just missed the first period."

"You missed everything this morning!" she complained.

Alright, I didn't think I got the chance to actually introduce my clique.

There's the bubbly and fun, Marlene.

The cheeky daredevil, Uriah.

Ms. I-don't-give-a-shit, Lynn.

Mr know-it-all, Will.

Christina, as the loud one and my unbiological sister.

and me of course.

Zeke, Uriah's brother and Shauna, Lynn's sister would often join us but they're already seniors so they usually sit on the seniors table.

We started talking like the usual, before Shauna march up to our table and sat down harshly to the seat across Christina, mumbling some rude words.

"Okay, stop with the mumbling and tell us what happened," I asked her in an order tone.

Everyone talks openly to each other that even age doesn't matter here even if your sibling is in the circle.

"God, I hate your brother," Shauna turned to Uriah who was talking to Marlene.

He stopped abruptly and faced Shauna.

"I know, he's an idiot. I, on the other hand is the perfect and irresistible guy in the family," he smirked.

We made gagging and puking noises while Shauna just rolled her eyes before grinning.

"If you're irresistible, why are you still single?" Lynn asks.

He flushed furiously before failing to come up with a comeback.

"I'm serious!" Shauna yelled but her smile gave it away.

Did I mention that Zeke and Shauna got together recently for about two weeks. They're so cute together but they could be very childish at times.

"So your dear brother Zeke-" she started but was cut off by another voice that rushed up to us.

"Oh come on Shauna! It's not that of a big deal," he stood behind her.

"Not a big deal? Not a big- Well let me tell you something Zeke-"

He kissed her.

She visibly relaxed and kissed him back.

Some of us shouted 'eww's while others gave out some 'aww's

Lynn pushed Zeke and grumbled. "Get a room!"

We all burst out laughing.

They break off, Shauna blushing and Zeke has a stupid smile on his face.

They were momentarily dazed before a certain someone cleared his throat and stood there awkwardly.

Oh right, I forgot. He's Zeke's best pal.

Zeke shot up and took the flowers that Four was hiding behind his back and gave it to Shauna. She blushed even harder before smiling and giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Am I forgiven?" Zeke asked with a puppy face.

Shauna nodded as she took a sniff of the flowers.

The girls-including me, yes, I have girly feelings sometimes-cooed at the sweet gesture while the boys just groaned and went back talking. He, *cough* Four Eaton *cough* dropped to the seat next to me.

Irritated, I turned, "Hello, can I help you? Get off the chair."

"Is that how you say thank you after I tuck you into bed last night?" He just shrugs and said, "It's vacant."

Gosh, that little brat.

You're the brat, Tris. He tucked you in.

Wait how is that possible? What did I do last night?

Don't ask me. Ask him you brat.

Okay I get it. I know I'm the brat now shut up.

I pushed him off and he fell on his butt.

"Hey! What the hell Bea-"

"Oh look at that, I have to go! Bye!" I cut him off and stepped on his foot, hard, as I glared back at dark deep blue eyes that I-

Snap out of it Tris!

I got up and flee the cafeteria

That boy! He could get under my skin at any day.

A/N:

I can explain. Okay, I promised that I'd try to post somewhen before I go on my vacation. Apparently, I was sick the day after I posted the previous chapter. I had the rough draft typed out but I still needed to finalise and I couldn't get my hands on my laptop. I decided to post the draft as promised but had to leave earlier. I just recovered for about three days into the holiday, so yes, I travelled while being sick and it was the worst journey I had to face. All I have to say is, I'm sorry. I know I'm a crappy updater but this is what you have to face if you want to read my crappy story. Till next time.

Review?
