Tris POV
Four is a funny and cute guy. We sit with Fours friends Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Christina and Will. Uriah and Zeke are muttering about something then Uriah nods and screams 'Party at my place tonight at 6pm!'. I hear whoops and cheers. I hear Uriah and Zeke throw the wildest parties. Four grins and whispers to me 'Bring extra clothes'. I knit my eyebrows together what? 'Candor or Dauntless' Four adds. I don't know what the hell that is but I decide to trust him.
The rest of the day goes really quick and then I invite Christina to my place. Caleb is on the couch reading. Nerd. 'This is my brother Caleb' I say to Christina. She nods and says 'Hi Caleb. I'm Christina'. Caleb ignores her. I roll my eyes and snatch the book out of Calebs hand. Oh god he's reading about planes AGAIN! MH370. 'CALEB! MY FRIEND CHRISTINA IS HERE!' I scream. Caleb scowls and mutters 'Hi Christina. Now CAN I HAVE MY BOOK BACK!'. I snort and throw it back at him. 'Ouch!' he whines. Christina laughs and looks around my house. 'C'mon lets go upstairs' I say gesturing her to follow me.
Four POV
I go to Zekes place and he starts getting ready for the party. 'Dude its so obvious you have a crush on Tris' he says raising an eyebrow. Shit he got me. 'Whaa.. I don't know what your talking about' I stutter. Zeke gives me that look. 'Fine!,' I shout throwing my hands up in exasperation 'I like her! So?'. 'You should really do a better job of hiding it next time' Zeke exclaims. 'Do you think she likes me back?' I ask. 'Don't ask me! Girls are confusing. One minute they act all lovey and stuff and the next they hate you' Zeke sighs. No way Tris would like me. She's so pretty she has probably forgotten about me already.
Tris POV
Christina looks fascinated by all my clothes 'OMG! This is the cutest dress! Are you rich or something!?' she screams holding up my LEAST favourite dress. I don't have many dresses though. 'Yeah I actually am rich' I mumble. Christina widens her eyes. She only meant it as a joke. 'You can keep the dress if you want' I say. Christina squeals and hugs me . 'Cant.. Breathe..' I gasp. 'Thank you!' Christina squeaks. I shrug and then Christina takes out her phone. She grins and then asks me 'Do you like Four?'. I guess I like him a bit but I'm DEFINITELY NOT going to say that. He'll probably think I'm a creep. I shake my head 'Not in that way' I lie. Christina looks at me suspiciously and I will myself not to bite the inside of my cheek. People keep saying its my tell. Christina sighs and then texts someone. 'Why?' I ask. 'Just want to know' Christina says plainly.
Zeke POV
Four is sitting on my bed in deep thought. Christina texted me back
C: Nope sorry Tris doesn't like Four. Poor Four. He'll be heartbroken after he finds out.
I sigh
Me: Are you sure she's not lying?
C: Yup. I figured out biting the inside of her cheek was her tell but this time she didn't bite the inside of her cheek so shes not lying. When r u going to tell Four?
Me: Now
I put down my phone and walk over to Four. 'What did she say?' he asks hopefully. I have to say the truth even though I don't want him to get hurt. 'I'm sorry but she... she doesn't like you back' I say softly. Four face is full of shock then it slowly turns to hurt 'What?' He whispers. 'Tris doesn't like you back' I say.
Four POV
Tris doesn't like me back? Not to brag or be a player or anything but when has a girl not liked me. Girls are drooling over me all the time but I don't want them and when a girl I like comes along she doesn't like me back? I hate my life. I contain myself and shrug 'Eh? She's annoying anyway. I bet shes a player' I choke out. But if she was a player she would've said that she does like me back and then dump me. Zeke looks pissed 'Dude! Shes not a player but she could be she has the beautiful looks for one... ANYWAY I'll get her to like you!' he says. 'How' I ask. 'tonight at Candor or dauntless' Zeke says grinning.
