Chapter Five
Four's POV
Flashback
I started dating Lauren when Junior year started. She had a hatred for Tris Prior for reason I didn't know of.
"I will ruin her."
"Is it really necessary. What did she ever do to you?"
"I need your help. You,ll help me right, babe" she looks at me seductively. I would've said no but I'm a teenage boy with raging hormones.
I stare at Tris and see the pain I've caused. This happened two years ago and I'm just now seeing it. More people start filing in.
"You'll be the most popular guy."
"Just tell me what to do."
A month later Lauren dug up one of Tris's deepest secrets by providing her with a friendship she thought would last. Tomorrow the whole school will know. There's no turning back now.
"Four, my man, how was the bus ride with that Prior girl. She doesn't look too good. I mean when does she ever, right" laughs Uriah.
I see Christina, Will, and a big bulky guy, Al from what I've heard, huddling around Tris, protecting her.
"Hey Tris" I say casually.
"What brings you to The Prior locker number guy" she says with a small chuckle. The guilt will eat me alive.
"I was wondering if you wanted to have breakfast with me. They're serving my favorite and I don't want to eat alone' I say with a touch of sadness in my voice. Such a good actor. Like my father.
"O-Okay" she stutters.
"You there, man? What's up with Four guys?" Tris is leaving to find her hotel room. I follow her. Stupid.
We get there and immediately hear the audio recording of Tris confirming her fear of intimacy. Her face shows fear and confusion.
"Little miss Prior needs help everyone" I yell. Almost instantly everyone throws the condoms they passed out in class the day before at her. I grab her and hold her in place. She elbows my stomach and runs away from the laughter and humiliation.
I tap her on the shoulder.
