Chapter Eight
Four's POV
I stare at the seat in front of me. I try to think of nothing but Tris isn't nothing. She's beautiful in every way possible. At least Al sees it. I saw the way he looks at her, the way he hugs her. It bugs me knowing I can't do the same. Soon enough I will. I know she cringes or stiffens when she's hugged. I don't know why. I'm starting to develop feelings for a girl who hates me. That's not good. I look out the window and see Tris and Al talking. Jealousy courses through me like fire. I want to talk to her.
"Excuse me, Four" I hear Christina say. I get up and as I do I see Tris walk on the bus. I also see Lauren stick her foot out, again. With two quick strides I stop Tris.
"Tripping her wouldn't be a very smart idea. Then again, you never really were that smart."
Lauren looks at me as if I murdered someone. I raise my eyebrows. She slowly moves her foot. I look up to see a very amused Tris. We walk to out seats to see Will in Tris's seat, ticking Christina. Tris decides to sit where I use to sit and I sit on the outside where Will was sitting.
"Thanks, by the way" Tris says smiling at me. A genuine smile. I smile back.
"I didn't think you smiled" she says playfully. I gently shove her and she thumps me on my head. I'm already starting to see our friendship working out. I start dozing off.
Page Break
"WE'RE FINALLY HERE!"
I open my eyes to everyone looking out windows to see all of Miami. I look to my right where Tris is sitting and see her head on my shoulder. Her eyes are closed and her lips are slightly parted.
"TRIS GET UP NOW' yells Christina.
She wakes up with a start, hitting my head with hers. She rubs her head and looks at me with wide eyes. Her eyes are a beautiful gray-blue color. Some may see them as dull but they demand attention.
"You fell asleep and put your head on my shoulder."
Before she says anything Christina pulls her to the window.
