A/N: I don't own Divergent or any characters. You know this!

TRIS

Nothing really interesting happens during the first two periods. Still, I am in a good mood. I grin at the memory of this morning and I blush at the memory of Four's hand on mine. After my second period I head to my locker as usual, to switch out my books. I'm glad we have a break between second and third period, it means I don't have to drag all my books for my four morning classes with me.

As I slam my locker closed I see Peter appear again out of the corner of my eye. Ugh. I so do not want to deal with this guy. I roll my eyes and turn around to walk away. Before I can take a step however, he grabs my shoulder and pushes me against the lockers, standing in front of me and leaning into me. "Looking good there Tris. Wanna go to the janitor's closet with me?" He says and smirks. "With you? Not in a million years. Go away Peter, you're annoying." I tell him. Instead of letting me go however, he only comes closer. Doesn't this guy know when to give up? "This is my final offer, and if there are any working brain cells in that head of yours, you take it." His eyes are as cold as ice and I shudder involuntarily. "Leave. Me. Alone." I emphasize each word through gritted teeth, though I know he won't listen to me either way. "Come on Tris, you know you want me." He whispers, and then his fingers touch me, stroking my cheek, then traveling down my neck and shoulder. Oh hell no, I don't want his filthy paws on me. My heart starts beating faster and I feel anger searing through my body. I think back to Monday. I froze then. I can't freeze now, not again. I have to do something about this; I have to let him know I'm serious.

So I do the only thing I can think off.

I pull up my knee as fast and hard as I can, and I hit him square in the groin. For a moment there's no reaction. Then Peter's face turns ashen, his eyes open wide, his pupils dilate and he lets out a groan. His hands go to his crotch and slowly he sinks down on his knees in front of me, not being able to move. "I told you to leave me alone. I mean it Peter, fuck off." I hiss at him. As I turn around I hear him growl at me, "you bitch! This isn't over yet, watch your back!" I can't help but smirk a bit. It's hard to take him seriously when his voice is that high pitched.

I storm away from the lockers. I really hope Peter will leave me alone from now on. Douchebag. When I head around the corner I hit something hard. Ouch. I take a step back and rub my nose. I look up to glare at whatever or whomever I walked into. Then I see I walked into Four of all people. He looks at me and cocks his head to the side. "You ok there Tris? You look a bit flustered, and quite angry." I growl and only say "Peter." His face goes dark and I see a flash of anger in his eyes. Wow, he must really hate Peter. Once again I wonder what happened between them before I transferred here. "What'd he do? I'll kill that bastard." He says through gritted teeth.
I look over my shoulder and see Peter still sitting there on his knees. I turn back to Four and smirk. "I don't think that's necessary, I took care of him already." He raises his eyebrows and looks over my shoulder. Then he notices Peter, sitting on the ground. He looks back at me with wonder in his eyes. "You did that to him?" I nod and Four starts to laugh. "Thatta girl! You really don't need a bodyguard. Good job." He winks at me and snickers. I turn crimson. Damn why does this happen every time he talks to me?! I roll my eyes at no one in particular and say "when you're done admiring my handywork, shall we head to our next class?" He nods while still snickering. Together we start walking.

While we walk, he asks me what happened. I tell him that Peter cornered me by the lockers and all the things he said to me. I tell him about his hand on me and about me kneeing him. Four is quiet for a moment. Then he says "you handled it really well Tris. But you should stay on guard. He will not give up this easily. Promise me that you'll be careful?" I stop and stare at Four, crossing my arms. "Four, why do you care so much? I mean, earlier this morning you couldn't even look at me, and now you're acting like an overprotective brother. What's up with that?" This time, instead of averting his eyes, he looks straight at me. "Because we're friends Tris. You are one of us, and even more, I care about you. I don't want to see you get hurt, especially not by that piece of shit." Hmm. Well that explains one part. It still doesn't explain his behavior of this morning though. I want to know why he acted the way he did. "Please Tris? Promise me you'll be careful?" He asks, staring directly into my eyes. I feel like I am drowning in his eyes. Like he can look right into my very soul. How could I ever say no to him? I feel something stirring inside of me, an unfamiliar feeling. I slowly nod at him and I whisper "I promise."

FOUR

While I listen to her telling the story about what happened, I feel anger boiling inside of me. She's only been here for three days and already she had two incidents with that jackass. Something has to be done about Peter; I won't let him hurt Tris. I want, no I need her to be safe. But I won't be able to do this by myself, I'm going to need the others. For now though, there's only one thing I can do, and that is to have her make a promise to me. But as I suspected, she is stubborn and refuses to make that promise. I ask her again, I am not going to let her leave until she makes this promise. This time I stare her down. It's of the hardest things I ever had to do. It takes everything I have not to get distracted by her eyes. But I need her to promise me to be safe.
I feel a weight lift off my shoulders as she finally whispers those two words. Letting out a breath of relief, l pull her in for a quick hug. I can hear her gasp in surprise, and I am actually surprised myself. I never hug anyone, ever. I quickly let go of her, even though I wish I could hold her forever. What's wrong with me today? Deep down I know the answer, but I refuse to accept it. I smile down at her as we arrive at our classroom. We quickly take our seats, but we don't speak anymore during class, giving me time to think.

A/N: another day, another chapter. And even a bit of Four! Next chapter will give more insight to what has happened in the past. Also, yes there will be Truth/Dare coming up, aaaand I've written bits and pieces about Fourtris, so you have that to look forward to. Just be patient! It'll come.
