A/N - Hey Guys! Long-time no see. Sorry about that. My exams are now over! Well… they finished about two weeks ago. I needed a small break just to get rid of all the stress. But I'm back now! Hey (again)! I would like to add that I have just hit 6,000 VIEWS! It's crazy. Thanks so much. As a thank you I reward you with 1 new chapter. Enjoy!

"Tris, can I ask you something?"

"Yes" Of course he can. He can ask me anything.

"Can I –"he stops and takes a deep breath.

I brace myself for what's about to come, I have no idea what's about to be said. Will it be hurtful, hateful? Will it make me feel like I have been punched in the stomach multiple times and then tossed over a bridge and into a river where I am left to drown…

Where did that come from? Oh right, I remember. That's how I felt last time he had to say 'something'. I take in a deep breath just as Four had done moments ago. Let me hear it then.

I stand there expecting something horrible, ghastly almost, to leave his perfectly (damn his perfectness) parted lips. I am utterly shocked when I hear what he says.

"Can I have your number?" he nervously asks with a small glimpse of hope filling his, once again (I'll say it again, and I'll say it a million times more), his beautifully mesmerising eyes.

The kind that you can look into and feel like you are getting lost. The kind that captivate you with the slightest glance. They make me feel safe. I love beautiful eyes. They are my weakness, he is my weakness.

What am I doing? Four has just asked for my number and I am just standing here gawking at him like a stupid twelve year old girl seeing her favorite, obsessed over band for the first time.

"Ummm, yeah" I stutter, as my cheeks turn a crimson red colour. I mindlessly hand over my number as I play all the possibilities of why he is asking me for my number through my head. Is it a prank?

Maybe.

It could just be something he does. I mean, I have everyone's number in our group apart from his.

More than likely.

But, there is something else. Another reason constantly at the back of my mind, driving me crazy. It could be because…

He likes me?

No, don't be so stupid. There's no point getting my hopes up just to get them shot back down.

"I'll talk to you later then?" he gleams.

"Yeah" I instantly reply, maybe a little too instantly. He leaves and I take that as my cue to leave as well. I quietly slip into my car, stupidly grinning, and try to figure out what just happened. Before I get a chance to I hear a voice.

"What just happened?!" Chris yells. I jump straight out of my skin, and into a new fresh one, screaming as I do so.

"You gave me a heart attack!" I yell back, clutching my chest tightly, trying to get my breathing back to normal. She ignores what I just said and just asks again.

"Tris, what happened?"

"What are you talking about?" I ask, confused as I have no idea what she's going on about. She has to ask again before I finally catch on.

"Oh! Four…"

"Yeah Four! Did I see you two exchange numbers?" she asks giggling whilst wiggling (Hey that rhymes) her eyebrows.

"Well, yeah. But it doesn't mean anything. You guys all have his number" I say.

"Ummm…no we don't!" she exclaims. I look back at Shauna, Lynn and Mar to see them all shaking their heads. What does this mean? Does he actually like me?

"He so totally likes you!" She yells whilst shaking my shoulders. I remain silent but inside… inside I'm screaming with joy. He likes me? This can't be true. It can't be.

"As soon as he text's you let me know what he says. Deal?" Chris asks.

"Whatever. Let's just go home now. Ok? I'm tired" I say, starting up the car.

The rest of the journey is filled with mostly Christina's voice. Apart from the occasional 'yes' or 'no' from the rest of us. Man that girl can talk. Once everyone has gotten off at their stops, I pull into my driveway and get out. I lock the door after grabbing my bag and head inside.

But, before I even get inside, the door slams open. I am less than shocked to see who stands in my way of texting Four. It was Caleb, arms crossed and a frown on his face, as per usual.

"Where have you been?" he yells, steam coming out of his ears, well, that's what it looked like. I didn't even realise what time it was. 3 O'clock in the morning! I can't believe it. Wow is school going to be hard tomorrow.

"Out at a party… you know that!" I yell back, equally as loud and intimidating.

"Is that all? Hmmm… you weren't out kissing boys where you? Taking any drugs have we? I can definitely smell alcohol of you!" he accuses.

"Well arrest me then for having one beer! I don't need this Caleb"

"Don't yell at me Tris! I'm not the one staggering in at 3 O'clock in the morning!"

"STAGGERING? STAGGERING! I am not 'staggering'. One beer Caleb. One beer and that was it. And you're yelling at me for staying up this late, what about you, hmmm? Won't you be tired for your geeky, stupid, little science club?"

"Get inside right now! You're waking up the whole neighbourhood!"

"I'm waking them up?!"

"Just move it right now!"
"I don't have to listen to this. You're not dad"

With that, I storm upstairs and slam my door. I don't care who I wake up. Caleb is just so infuriating. Fair enough, he's my brother, I know he just wants to protect me but, this is too much.

(Hey, I'm the first ever page break. 'Welcome to the world' we say)

As my eyelids slowly lift up, and over my eye, I grab my phone. I heard it beep. It takes me a minute to properly wake up before I actually take in what's happening. My phone just beeped! It could be Four.

All of a sudden I have jumped up out of my bed and as I crash back down to earth, I check my phone. My smile drops as I see what it is.

Chris – Hey girl. Has Four messaged you yet?

Nope, he hasn't. I'm just about to lose all hope in Four until I hear another noise.

'Beep Beep'.

It's Four!

Four – Hi Tris.

I message back immediately . I am too excited to follow any or Chrissy's rules.

'1) Never message a guy first and 2) Always wait 5 minutes before messaging a guy back.

Tris – Hey x

I regret sending the kiss right away. Will he send a kiss back? Will he?

'Beep Beep'

Four – What you up to x

He sent one back. That's a relief. I type –

Tris – Missing you. Thinking about you. Wanting you. The usual.

But I don't press send. I delete it before messaging back. It sucks not being able to tell someone how you really feel. Always in fear, always wondering if they feel the same. I guess I'll never know.

Tris – Nothing much. You x

Four – Same here. That party was fun huh?

Tris – Yeah, it was! It was actually my first party ever!

Four – Really? X

Tris – Shocked? X

Four – No… nevermind.

Tris – Okay x

Four – So sorry. I've got to go :'-(

Tris – That's okay

Four – I'll see you at school tomorrow xx

WAIT! Did he just send TWO kisses? I must sound like an idiot right now.

Tris – Yeah! Bye xx

Four – Bye xx

And with that, I message Chris.

Tris – Four text me! He asked me how I was. He had to go but it ended with two kisses! What does that mean? X

I didn't realise in all that excitement but I was still extremely tired. Before I could get a reply from Christina my eyes had shut, and I had fallen asleep.

A/N – Me again. If you don't know who me is, take a guess. Who usually bugs you and annoys you at the end of a chapter. Have you got it. I'll give you a hint. She writes this story. Almost there. If you're that stuck I'll tell you then. It's ThePurpleInitiate. Yay… I think. Any way…did you enjoy the chapter? I hope you did. I just want to thank anyone who takes time out of their busy schedules to read my story. Even more if you favourite or follow. But even more if you review. It means so much. I just can't even begin to explain how happy it makes me feel. So, keep it up! I guess that's enough of my rambling on. Thanks guys and I'll see you all next time. Byeeeeeeeeeeee x
