Tris's POV
At least I can relax the last hour of the day in study hall. Peter has totally made me hate him in a matter of 5 minutes. I figured he was an ass from class but dumping my lunch on me is low. I'm glad Four was there to help me. At least I have him to look forward to seeing every day.
I walk into the Dauntless study hall which consists of 5 punching bags, 5 knife throwing stations, 5 shooting targets and 5 tables for studying our non-physical classes like English. There aren't many people in here as I walk in. Most of the people actually got up to leave leaving just me and one other person. I could tell who it was a mile away, Four. My stomach twisted at the thought of being alone in this class with him 2-3 times a week. He was punching a bag in the corner. I walked over to the bag next to him and began taking swings at it. I watch out of the corner of my at Four's movements and try to copy them. He finally catches on that I'm in here with him and he stops to watch me for a moment.
"Remember what I said about keeping tension here." He says grabbing my waist. Instead of pulling away I felt his hands snake around me and pull me close to him into a hug.
"Hi." He whispers in my ear. The smallest word sends a shiver down my spine. I wrap my arms around him embracing the hug.
"Hi yourself. Looks like it's just you and me this hour." I say breaking away from him to take in his expression. His mouth is curled up in a crooked smile. I can't help but smile back.
"So what should we do for this 'hour' "he says stroking my arm.
" How about we play a game? HORSE but with knives? Each knife you don't get in the target you have to tell something about yourself. Each knife you do get you have to compliment the other person. If you miss you gain a letter. Whoever spells horse first loses. Winner gets whatever they want." I tell him hoping he takes the bait.
"Deal. I'll go first." he says with a smirk as he walks over to the targets. He picks up a knife and throws it. Dead center.
"I like the fact that you don't let low life's like Peter get to you." He tells me referring to earlier in the day. I blush and turn to take my turn. I get just outside the target.
"I dreaded moving to this school but am pleasantly surprised that I like it so far." I say giving him a knowing look. He goes next. He hits an inch to the right of his first one.
"I like how the Dauntless style looks on you." He says looking me up and down. My face must be a tomato by now. I take my next throw. I get one in the target.
"I like the fact that you helped me even though you didn't have to." I say referring back to lunch. He nods and takes his next throw. He lands in the target again.
"I love that you are going out with me Saturday and your eyes." Dam he's good. I throw my next one and it doesn't even stick to the board.
"H for me unless you want to down size the word to PIG?" I say knowing that I'm prolly going to lose anyway.
"Haha PIG is fine with me." He says throwing his next knife. This one lands outside of the target.
"I got the nickname Four from my mentor Amar. You have him for a teacher." This is news to me. I wonder what his real name is. I throw my next knife. I miss again.
"PI for me." I grumble. He chuckles and picks up another knife. He hits center again. He is too good for this game.
"I like the way you pout when you're losing a game that you have never even attempted before and doing well at it." He says eyeing my expression.
"I do not pout. I just don't like to lose." I say as I throw the next knife. It falls to the floor. I lost.
"PIG looks like you lose!" he says jokingly walking toward me. He snakes his arms around me and plants a chaste kiss to my forehead. Goosebumps rise up all over my body at the smallest gesture.
"Having you to hang out with was the best prize. Thank you." He says releasing me. I feel like I'm in a daze. He actually liked hanging out with me and he kissed me. I know it's nothing big but in Abnegation I have never really seen PDA so it's all new to me. Just then the bell rings signaling the end of the day. I long for more of this but I know it won't happen for a few more days. We both walk out of the room hand in hand and part ways in the parking lot. I think I'm going to like this school.
Please tell me what you think! I love hearing your thoughts and ideas! Thanks J
