Chapter 10
*warning: this chapter contains a lot of cursing, if you're innocent and all that, you can just not read this.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I mumble under my breath as I struggle to put on my leggings in the shed. I think it's officially my secret hideout.
As I tumble out the door, my foot hits the door. "Ow, fuck! Damn this piece of shit."
"Whoa there sailor." The deep thick voice speaks.
"Shut up Four." I roll my eyes at him and continues before he tries to cut me," You think you can break me by exposing me but you're dead wrong. I know things about you more than you know about yourself. Don't even dare to mess with me."
He stares at me dumbfounded, on my bike if I must say. I climb over and hit him. "Go."
Seconds ticks by.
"Four go! Hurry up! I'm almost late. Drive!"
Without further notice, the bike speeds onto the driveway and pass onto the main road in full speed. I held onto his jacket and secure my arms around his torso. I can feel his abs underneath the thin material and even without looking, I can see himself smirking.
That son of a cunt.
"Damn you Four Eaton, slow down! I don't want to die!" I shout over the voice of the engine and the wind.
"You're just saying that to feel my abs so I'd keep going," he says quietly.
I roll my eyes at him. "You ignorant pig. How many times do I have to tell you that I will never fall for a boar like you with your terribly horrendous charms?"
"You think I'm charming?" He asks, I can hear the smile on his lips.
I thwack his head. "You arrogant prick, didn't you hear anything I said?"
He smiles, "bla bla bla more excuses." He fakes a yawn. "Hold tight Tris."
I was about to defy his orders but then he sped up and he's already going over 75mph and I didn't want to die, so I don't have a choice.
When we reach school, the first thing I said to him was, "Next time, I'm driving."
He chuckles but his laugh went dead when he focuses on someone behind me. I turn to find Matthew standing awkwardly.
"Hey Mattie, morning!" I chirp to greet him.
He smiles then proceed to ask me, "Hey Tris, can I be your chem—"
Four looks at our exchange before cutting in, "Sorry dork. We have homeroom to go to." He steers me away.
Whoa whoa whoa! Hold up. Wait, what?!
"I'd love to Matt! I-uh- I'll see you in Chem!" I shout to him.
Four's grip is like a metal cage, impossible to break through. Once we're inside the hall, with girls trying to shoot me dirty looks and some cowering because well, I'm me and other barely notice my presence, only to drool over Four and his bulky figure.
"Let. Me. Go!" I resist his pull. "Let me go or I will stick a pole up your ass that you can't get it out."
He lets go in an instance, his face straight but his eyes are playful.
"I'm not some girl that could be dragged by you, feeling merriment. I won't. You know what Four? Fuck off. Fuck you and your stupid little help." I spit at him. "Go back from where you came from because I don't need to look at your uglyass face and just go."
I fled before he could make a remark.

"Cheer up Tris," Christina pouts.
Shauna volunteers, "Is it Matthew because I could kick that son of a bitch."
I ignore the whole crew of worried girls in front of me as I continue stabbing my salmon. Why did I get salmon again? I don't know.
Lynn scoffs and says, " For fuck's sake Tris. We all know Four is hot but don't get heart-brokened like that. He's just one cold guy with a frozen heart."
Oh, if only they knew what a madcap and a mischievous little squirt he is.
"What makes you think that it's Four?" I squint my eyes at her.
She gives me a look that says are-you-kidding-me
Marlene chirps in, "So it is Four. Don't worry pumpkin. We can set you up. Now don't act all desperate."
I frown in disbelief. My friends think I'm down because I can't get Four. As if! I may not be the prettiest girl out there but sure as hell I'm not the ugliest.
"You don't get it do you? I'm trying to get away from Four, not to be closer with him," I resist calling them dumbasses.
Christina squeals, "So it's settled. We're going shopping!"
We all look at her as if she were an idiot.
"Boys hate shopping in general, so whenever they're chasing for some girl and female species goes shopping, they won't enter the house of clothes." She beams at her theory.
That is the stupidest theory I've ever heard.
Marlene adds, "I'll take you out for ice cream and we can get your favorite flavor. Strawberry cheesecake! Or do you feel like chocolate?"
"Both sounds nice," I say, being tempted. I'm already dreaming about the ice cream I'm going to get this afternoon.
Shauna chirps in, "Make sure you do get her an ice cream, the last time you promised me, I only got a fucking Erudite fizzy drink and its bland as hell."
Lynn frowns, "Can I not come? I doubt the place we'll go to is nice."
Christina poked her. "Do you not trust me? I am the queen of fashion basically. Trust me, it'll be fantabulous."
When all she got was a blank stare, she explains, "Fantastic and fabulous. How can you not know?"
"You're so stupid," Lynn murmurs under her breath, directing it at Christina.
"I heard that."
Her satisfied smirk deepens, "You're meant to."
Christina scoffs but Shauna broke the two before a catfight starts. "Alright ladies. Calm your tits because we are all going shopping."
If Shauna graduates, who's going to be the mature one between all of us?
xXx
"You have got to be joking." I look at Christina.
She beams with pride. She have taken us to Amity street, which is the healthy shopping centre and they don't have ice cream. Not even popsicles. Only frozen yoghurt.
Since I was hungry (when am I not?) I race up to the nearest froyo stand with a man smiling at me. Let me tell you, he's creepy as fuck.
"I'll have a beetroot froyo with strawberries," I say randomly. As you can see, I'm not the biggest fan of froyo and in Amity street, all food comes in red, yellow and healthy.
"That would be $3.25" He says. I pick up my cup as I hand him my cash.
When he gives the change, he says," Go with Happiness."
All I could do was nod. Then I say, "Yeah you too." Before rushing back to Christina.
"Why are we here? The weirdest shits happen here." I whisper to her.
Lynn finally joins in, "This place is fucked up. It's all about kindness and harmony."
She punches us lightly, "Be optimistic. Let's go there!" Pointing to a random store called 'Amity's Harmony'
Yeah. Just great.
I let out a groan of frustration before being dragged by my stupendously magnificent people I call my friends. Ugh, fuck.
A/N:
I procrastinate too much. I have to download VPN just to post this from my laptop bc the site is banned in my country. Still, it's fun writing these so I didn't mind. Not my best chapter but I've got to post something because all you lovely flowers had been patiently waiting for an update, so thanks for you ducklings that had been with me since the start or the recent readers that actually continued reading my story. x
