Tris P.O.V

The next day I went to school everybody stared at me and Four. The day gets even better when we get called out in the middle of second period class, to go to the principle office. Sadly we had the same class together so we distanced our self from about 3-4 ft distance. We walked in a awkward silence, so I drifted to the time when we stopped being friends….

"Flashback, 3years ago"

"Toby, help!" I yelled.

I was getting beaten up by three boys who were 2 years older than me. Toby turned around and saw me getting hurt. But instead of helping me like he always does, he keeps his face blank and emotionless and turns around walking away. That moment hurt the most, not the kicking or the taunting, but how my best friend turned against me, leaving me broken and bruised. Everything faded away and it seems like the only thing I can see or think about is him, how he walked away like nothing was happening. That haunted me for the rest of my life.

When I woke up, I was in the hospital, I had to get stitches on my head, and broke 3 ribs, and an arm. Toby never came to see me, and at school I sat alone at lunch without anybody to share with..

"Present"

Since then I built up walls and became the most feared person besides Four. I worked out at the gym and transformed from the little girl with nothing in the world to care about, to an emotionless closed off girl.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when we arrived at the office. We went in and sat down waiting for the principle to come in. I chewed on my fingernails while he fiddled with his thumbs. Finally the principle came out and took a seat with us.

Line brake

We got out with only a month of detention and community work for a week. He said that we would have gotten more but we were graduating soon so he wouldn't be too harsh. WE left without a word.
