Four's POV
Usually Dauntless study hall is deserted except for the few that decide to show up and do a quick round of target practice with the knives or guns. I tend to stay and take out my aggression on a punching bag. It helps me clear my thoughts and let go of my past. Part of the deal with my car come's the fact that I get to be emancipated from the cruel man that I call daddy. Since I can't afford a place of my own I live with Amar. He lets me stay as long as I chip in for groceries and help clean the place up. He is the only one besides Tori that knows about my divergence. He started calling me 'Four' because I was placed into 4 of the 5 factions. The only one that I didn't belong in was Candor. They are all smart mouths anyway so it never bothered me. Amar keeps my secret and I keep his. Both of us being Divergent is dangerous. Especially now that I found out Jeanine is creating a serum to find them. I don't have any clue what she will do once she does find us.
I continue to punch the bag thru the bell for last hour to begin. I didn't notice that she had come in I just felt the usual pull when I thought of her so I continued to punch. Not a minute later she showed up next to me and started punching the bag in front of her. I couldn't help but stop and watch her in awe.
"Remember what I said about keeping tension here." I tell her grabbing her waist. Instead of pulling away I snaked my arms around her and pulled her into a hug. I've been wanting to do that since she did it to me earlier.
"Hi." I whisper in her ear. I feel her sigh and wrap her arms around me.
"Hi yourself. Looks like it's just you and me this hour." She says breaking away from me to look me in the face. I smile at this comment and she smiles right back.
"So what should we do for this 'hour' "I ask her stroking her 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." She explains to me. I love the idea of getting to know her plus I know what I want for a prize.
"Deal. I'll go first." I tell her taking a knife off the table and smiling at her before I throw it. Dead center my usual. I want her to know how I feel about her but without scaring her away.
"I like the fact that you don't let low life's like Peter get to you." I tell her referring to lunch earlier in the day. I watch as she blushes and turns to take her turn. She actually hits just outside the target. She's a quick learner.
"I dreaded moving to this school but am pleasantly surprised that I like it so far." She tells me with a coy look. I go next. I hit an inch to the right of my first one.
"I like how the Dauntless style looks on you." I tell her looking at her up and down. Her face turns a darker shade of red. She takes her next throw. She gets in the target.
"I like the fact that you helped me even though you didn't have to." She admits referring back to lunch. I nod. Little does she know that I would of either way. I take my next throw. Center of the target again. I want to let her know that I do like her more then she knows.
"I love that you are going out with me Saturday and your eyes." I watch her get even more flustered. She throws her next one and it doesn't even stick to the board.
"H for me unless you want to down size the word to PIG?" She asks knowing she's not going to win this game anyway.
"Haha PIG is fine with me." I tell her as I throw my next knife. This one lands outside of the target. I want to tell her my real name but not yet so I figure if she knows that Four is a nickname she will get to know the rest later.
"I got the nickname Four from my mentor Amar. You have him for a teacher." I tell her. She eyes me curiously. I knew that would throw her. She throws her next knife and misses again.
"PI for me." She grumbles. She's adorable when she does that. I laugh and throw my next knife. I hit center again.
"I like the way you pout when you're losing a game that you have never even attempted before and doing well at it." I tell her watching her expression.
"I do not pout. I just don't like to lose." She says as she throws her next knife. It falls to the floor. She lost.
"PIG looks like you lose!" I say chuckling as I walk toward her. I embrace her in a hug. I couldn't help myself and place a kiss on her forehead. This has been one of the best afternoons I have had in a while, and its thanks to her.
"Having you to hang out with was the best prize. Thank you." I tell her letting her go. I still feel the warmth from her body on me and don't want the feeling to end. Just then the bell rings signaling the end of the day. I take her hand and entwist our fingers walking out to the parking lot hand in hand. I leave her and head toward my car. I'm falling for Tris and I'm falling fast.
