Chapter 3:
(Fours POV)
I wake up in pain. Last night I got another beating because I got home 3 minutes late. I jump out of bed and take a cold shower because it helps numb the pain. Ever since mom died Marcus, my father, takes his anger out on me. The beatings have gotten worse but when football season starts he lays off because he knows I can't play in the pain he causes me. Last year I was the quarterback on the football team, which was pretty impressive since I was only a sophomore. This year hopefully I will make quarterback again. I hop out of the shower and change into jeans, a tight black shirt, and a pair of black converse tennis shoes. When I walk downstairs I see the counter that reads,
Tobias,
I will be out of town the next 3 weeks so don't do anything stupid.
-Marcus
He is gone quite often because he works in the government. Because of this we have a rather large house. It's 3 story with 2 pools and a bunch of other stuff. I'm glad that he will be gone, that way, I don't have to worry about doing something wrong and being punished. I grab a granola bar and an apple and head to the garage. I have a pretty nice car, a black 2015 Porsche. I hop in and drive to school. When I get there I see a matte black Hennessey Venom GT. That is my DREAM car! I park next to it and take a better look. I thought my car was nice but it is nothing compared to this car. I was brought dream when other cars started to pull in. I then grabbed my backpack and headed into school. When I get to my locker I realize that I only have like two minutes to get to class. I grab my stuff and sprint off to class. When I get to French I slip in the back so no one will notice that I'm like a minute late. I zone out until Mrs. Shell says, "Alright class we are going to go around the room and I want you to introduce yourself in French. Do the best you that you can." I don't really pay attention until she calls on one girl. I can't see her face but she must be new because I would have noticed someone like her before. We she finishes introducing herself, we are all speechless. Apparently she is fluent in French so if I'm ever in need of a tutor, she can definitely help. People continued to go around the room and finally it was my turn. I stand up and say, "Mon nom est Quatre. Je aime le basket-ball et le football (My name is Four. I like basketball and football)."
When I sit down I notice the girl who's name is Tris if I can remember correctly, looking at me. I make eye contact with her. She has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They are light blue in the center and fade out to a grey blue. After I realize I have been staring to long, I look down at my desk. After that, I zone out for the rest of the class. The day went by really slowly until lunch. I walk in and see Zeke and some other friends.
"Hey dude. What's up?" He says.
"Nothing much, today has been really boring though." I say. He was about to say something else when the cafeteria doors open and Christina walks in with Tris. Everyone got quiet and I noticed Tris say something to Christina and then she blushed. Tris looks really cute when she blushes. Snap out of it, I tell myself. She would never like you. Just then Tris and Christina walk over and sit down next to Marlene and Shauna.
There's an awkward silence until Christina says, "So Tris you've already met Uriah, Marlene, Will, and Shauna. This is Lynn, Zeke, and Four. Guys this is Tris." Everyone one shows some sign of recognition and Zeke says, "Well Tris, as you probably noticed I'm unfortunately related to Uriah. We're twins however I'm definitely sexier, cooler, funnier, you name it. I'm better than him at everything." We all laugh and Uriah makes a pouty face and says, "Hurtful!" Lunch continues like this with the Pedrad brothers making jokes and people talking about what they did over the summer. Zeke and I mainly talked about the party that he is throwing this weekend. Then Zeke said, "Did you guys see that awesome car this morning?"
Dream car.
I said, "The matte black Hennessey Venom GT? Yeah that car was sick. It's one of the most expensive cars in the world."
"I wonder who's it is? Did you guys see it? Who's ever it is must be loaded." Uriah asked the others who hadn't said anything. Everyone else said yes but Tris didn't say anything. I mean who could not see that car. It was parked right up front.
"Tris did you see the car?" Zeke said
Tris nervously answers, "Actually I did. I drove it here this morning." I did not see that coming. Wow. No one said anything because they were in awe. Tris blushed and said, "Guys, it's just a car."
Uriah and Zeke come to their senses and say at the same time, "Can you let me drive it!?"
Before I could say anything Marlene spoke up and said, "Are you to knuckleheads crazy? You guys couldn't even get out of the parking lot without wrecking it." After that comment everyone laughed and carried on with a normal talking at lunch.
After lunch I just have two more periods, music and gym. When I get to music I see Tris but the seats next to her are taken so I sit behind her a next to Zeke.
Zeke says, "Dude I know that look,"
"What look?" I question, hoping he doesn't know that I like Tris. Wait. Did I admit to liking Tris? Well I guess I do.
"Dude you've been making dreamy eyes at her since lunch. What's up?" He says.
"I don't know. I like her but I really don't know how to approach the situation." I say quietly.
"All you have to do is build her trust and get to know her. Then you can ask her out. Why don't you invite her to my party this weekend and offer to drive her." He says.
"Okay I will. Thanks man." I say. As soon as I said that the music teacher Tori says that it's an open mike. No one volunteers so she looks around the room until her eyes find Tris's.
Tori says, "Alright how about Tris." Oh no. I hope she isn't a bad singer. Tris walks up to the stage confidently and smirks at Tori. They must know one another somehow. Tris sing Titanium by The 6. She is amazing. She sounds so passionate about the song, like she wrote it herself. She finishes and everyone claps. Tris blushes and exits the stage. When she sits down I get bold and tap her on the shoulder. She turns around and I say, "You were amazing."
She blushes and says, "Thanks."
A few other people went but now it's time for gym. I run into the locker room and change. When I walk out I see Tris talking to Coach Amar. They must also know one another because it looks like a friendly conversation. She turns around and walks over to Christina. I think she notices me staring and she blushes. I was about to go over and talk to Zeke but Coach Amar yelled at us to line up.
"Today you will be running the mile so we can see who is the fastest. I usually break you up into girls and boys but I want you to run together today." He said. We one up and when he says go I'm off. I'm usually first but I see Tris in front of me. Not for long I think. I keep running, still not able to pass her. Finally I cross the finish line and I see Tris standing up ahead. Once I calm my breathing, I walk up to her and say, "Good job. No one has ever beaten me before."
"Thanks," she says and blushes.
When everyone finishes, I run into the locker room and change. I say by to Zeke and head to my car. I should probably go ahead and invite Tris to the party. I go and stand next to her car. She should be out soon so I will just wait. I didn't even notice her walk up but she hesitantly says, "Hey Four," while blushing.
I smirk and say, "Hey, I just wanted to say good job again on your mile and invite you to a party Zeke that throwing this weekend. It's Saturday night and I thought if you wanted I could pick you up."
She blushes major and says," Thanks and Ya that sounds cool. If you give me your number I will send you my address."
I smile and give her my number. She waves goodbye and drives off. I get in my car still thinking of the Blue eyed girl.
