Chapter 4: Tori's house

I wake up at a the usual time. I do my homework and take the usual amount of time. I eat breakfast at the normal time. I leave at my normal time. And I almost take my normal trail in the woods, but before I do I luckily remember what happened yesterday. I instead go and visit Tori's house.

I walk straight on in.
"Who's there?" She calls.
"Who else is up this early?" I call back. She seems to think long and hard about this.
"Owls." She says. I laugh. I walk into her kitchen and see her standing there.

"Hey." I say casually.
"I see your not breaking your habits." She responds. I groan.
"Tori you know I do stuff after school." I say. She knows I do stuff. She doesn't know what that stuff is.
"Is matchmaking really that important to you?" She asks. I gasp.
"How do you-" I start but am quickly cut off.
"Air vents." I forgot to mention that Tori used to be a hard core gymnast and is extremely comfortable doing stuff like climbing in air vents.
"Ah. I thought Christina told you. Then I would have to murder her." I say.

"So, it's been a long time since I've checked up on you. What's up?" Tori asks.
"Besides me being Cupid? Umm. Well, not much. Caleb's still Captain Poser-pants, Fours still Captain Annoying and same with the twins." I love that Tori knows exactly what I'm talking about. She knows because I used to come to her house and rant every time I was bullied by any of the Captains. Now I just smirk at them thinking how they hate me and love Cupid. I also love how when I just smirk it confuses them.
"I see." She says and then it's silent for a while.

"Tris, can you do me a favor?" She asks, breaking the silence.
"What?" I ask back. I owe her this favor, after all she did pretty much raise me because I ignored my parents.
"Don't kill me but, I want you to try and be nice to Caleb. He's really sorry. He is just lost and confused." She pleads. I sigh.
"I won't kill you but I can't guarantee anything with Caleb. For all I know he's still a jerk. It's been a while since we've interacted at all." Now Tori sighs.
"Tris, he's changed. Please don't be mad at him. He's going through stuff too. Tris, he's not as brave or selfless as you are and he feels like he's the reject of the family." I raise my eyebrows.
"How do you know all this?" I ask. She looks guilty.
"Tris, just because you've been ignoring Caleb for the last two years doesn't mean I was. I've been helping him." She explains. I feel a little betrayed but I've been hurt worse.

"Tori, I've got to go! Bye!" I say then run out the door before she can say anything else. Thank god I'm fast or else Tori would have said something about how it's only 6:30 and that I should stay. I decide to go to the woods, forgetting why I didn't go there in the first place. I find my usual rock and sit down. I start listening to music and Demons comes on. I would write the lyrics but I'm far too lazy to do that. I start singing along and feel someone sit next to me. Oh. That's why I didn't come here this morning.

I groan.
"Why must you ruin the one place I was safe from all stupid, annoying, jerk humans?" I scream. He shrugs.
"Because I can." Wrong answer.
"Did you realize that this was the one place where I could avoid everyone and everything? Did you realize that you fell into the everything category? Did you realize that maybe I hate you and that maybe I love this spot? Did you realize that maybe I hate basically everyone? Do you realize what I have to put up with? Did you realize that I have a lot on my plate? Did you realize that maybe I just want to be alone?" I scream at him. He looks shocked.
"Am I that bad?" He asks after a while. I glare at him. "I guess that's my answer." He says flatly.

There is a long, uncomfortable silence.
"I'm sure I have more on my plate than you." He says. It sounds like a challenge but his expression suggests its sad.
"Maybe you shouldn't talk about things that you don't know about." I say. He thinks he has a lot on his plate? Please. I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning every day. Bet he doesn't know that I have a schedule that I have to keep too.
"What do you do? All you do is sit in the woods and listen to music from what I've seen." He says harshly. I laugh bitterly.
"That is for me to know and for you to question." I shoot back.
"Is that so?" He asks scooting closer. I scoot away.
"Yes. It is so." I say.
"Why?" He asks scooting closer again. If I scoot away I'll fall onto the ground. I decide to accept his obvious challenge and scoot towards him.
"Because you are nothing more than a stupid little pawn on the enemy's team in my life." I say smirking.
"Oh really?" He says scooting even closer. I smirk. I won't let him get to me. He will not make me uncomfortable. Scratch that, I won't show how uncomfortable I am.
"Yes. Yes really. If this was a movie you would be nothing but an extra." I say smirking and crossing my arms.
"Then what would you be?" He asks. He scoots closer yet again. Soon I'll be sitting on him. Ew.
"I would be the star." I say.

I stand.
"As much as I enjoyed our little talk, I have to go to school." I say. I start walking away. I am out of the woods when I feel something brush my arm. Is he really doing this again?
"Why are you following me?" I ask.
"Why not?" I am not greeted with the voice I thought it would be.
"Hey, Will."
"That's better!" He says. I laugh.
"What's up?" He asks.
"Nothing." I say shrugging it off.
"Okay. Now really tell me what's up." He says. I can tell by the look in his eyes he won't give up asking me until he gets the truth. I sigh.
"I'm mad at Four because lately he's been stalking me." I say. Will raises his eyebrows.
"And? What else are you mad about?" He asks.
"I'm mad at Caleb for being nice all of the sudden. Just when I got good at hating him he just has to go and be nice. Why does he want to ruin my life?" I ask rhetorically.
"I don't know why." Says another voice. It's too deep to be Wills and I definitely didn't say anything. Which means... Ugh! I whip around.
"Stop following me!" I shout at him.
"Nope." He says smirking. I scream.
"Leave her alone, Four." Will says, coming to my aid. I shoot him a grateful look.
"Make me." He says tauntingly. In a flash Will charges at him. I see a whirl of colors. Then, just as sudden as it started, the fight ends.

Will is laying on the ground with a bloody nose and Four is crouching over him saying some threat. I feel the blood in veins being replaced with anger. I stomp over to Four who just stood up and smiles at me. I then hit him square in the jaw. He wasn't prepared and stumbles back. I start beating him up and a few minutes later I see him on the ground covered in blood. Whether it's his, Wills, or mine I don't know.

"Never," I say in my most menacing voice, "touch me or my friends ever again." I spit at him. I go and help Will up and walk away.

As I'm walking I hear Four mumble something that sounded like "Wouldn't dream of it."

Hi guys! Sorry that I just sort of disappeared off the face of the earth for a few days! My upload thingy wasn't working and I just managed to fix it.

I completely blew off some of my homework because it's like write a thank you letter and like poop that! Also a bunch of girls at my school are being jerks and stuff and I don't know why and they are now on my death list. I won't actually kill them but I'm still pissed. Like one girls like "Lol you have no social life!" And I'm like SCUUUZ YOU! DONT TALK ABOUT MY LIFE! IM FLIPPING POPULAR (lol she actually flipping told me I was popular) AND I HAVE MORE OF A LIFE THAN YOU! ALL YOU DO IS PLAY POPTROPICA! I ACTUALLY DO PRODUCTIVE STUFF! Writing fanfictions counts as productive, right?

And to top my suck week off I slept 4 hours last night. You know why? Because some times my brain is a total jerk and won't let me sleep!

Sorry that I just started ranting to you guys. I'm just pissed at various people for various reasons.
