AN: Hey guys sorry this is such a late update I've been working really hard not to make this chapter crappy and longer.
Disclaimer: Still don't own the story… sucks I know
I look up from the pavement and walk up and towards a tree with the "gang" I suppose I should call them is sitting. I walk up behind Four and lightly tap his shoulder, he turns around and his expression tells me he is surprised to see me.
"Can I talk to you?" I ask quietly.
"Sure." He replies waving a small wave to his friends behind him.
"Look. I will hang out with you guys on one condition and one condition only."
"And that is?"
"How do you know about Marcus?" He seems to whiten as the words escape my lips.
"How about this. After I get to know you a bit more I'll tell you. This isn't something I joke about or tell many people or any people even."
I contemplate his words and finally decide to follow through with his idea.
"Fine. But you have to promise me you will tell me. How I know Marcus is not anything I joke about either. If you don't tell me I swear I will kill you." I say with a straight face.
"Deal. But you have to promise me you won't back out of the deal."
"Whatever."
"Pinky promise?" He asks sticking out his pinky.
"What are you five?"
"No I'm four!" He replies smirking.
(AN: I know cheesy I just felt like it so deal with it!)
I reluctantly wrap my pinky around his and walk away towards my locker to get my books ready for class.
I walk down the hallway ignoring the whispers being tossed around me and keep my head down. They are all probably whispering about what happened yesterday and how I look so beat up.
I shiver thinking of last night. It wasn't the first time but that was no doubt the worst. I probably have to buy a pregnancy test in case too.
I'm not on birth control obviously because they don't allow me out of their sight let alone a hospital. He might've used a condom but that's not good enough.
I'll get a test somehow in about a week just to cool down a bit I need time to process this.
I walk into first period and put my earbuds in ignoring the laughing and snickers around me. That is until the clown of the school rips them out of my ears.
"Do you really think listening to music and ignoring the world will help your case? It won't. Everyone in school is going to make your life a living hell."
"Alright so maybe everyone hates me for standing out a bit and not following you around like some slutty robot. But there's one thing you screwed up on."
I pull her by the collar of her cheer uniform so her ear is by my mouth and I whisper, "You can't make my life a living hell if it already is."
I push her head back to see her shocked expression and take my ear buds from her firm grip and put them back into my ears. I close my eyes and lean back in the chair trying to tune out the terrible world we live in.
I can hear the girl walk away, well more like stomp away and complain to the other robots. I am brought from space when someone taps my shoulder.
Keeping my eyes closed and music loud I say, "If your one if those slutty ass robots or cocky jocks planning to pick on me you got another thing coming."
"Well I play football. I hope that doesn't mean I'm cocky."
I open my eyes and pull out my ear buds to see Zeke I think.
"Zeke?"
"Uriah actually the better looking brother."
"Noted now may I ask what you want?"
"Well Four told us that you're planning to hang out with us and I thought I..."
His voice is cut off when the teacher walks into the classroom. Finally may I add. Uriah sits down next to me as the lesson begins and I once again tune out the world.
-~ Time Skip To Lunch
I leave all my classes with spitballs clouding my hair. Immature bastards.
I walk into the cafeteria still trying to take the spitballs out of my hair and after I finally finish that I look around the cafeteria room.
Does Four and I's agreement mean I have to sit with them? My question is answered when I hear a male voice call my name.
"Tris!"
My head looks in that direction as my feet walk forward.
I have no idea what I'm supposed to say. Do I say anything at all? All these mental questions are giving me a headache.
I sit next to Four at the edge of the bench and sit quietly while they all look at me expectantly.
"What?" I ask in a kind of bitch tone scratch that it was really bitchy.
"Well are you going to say anything or is your mouth up your ass today?"
"Lynn piss off she's new and she doesn't seem like one to talk you were the same way so lay off will ya." Uriah defends me.
"Well damn what am I supposed to do I've never been any where but my house until the day I came here. I've never had any contact with the outside world you tell me what I'm supposed to fucking do." I say pissed of.
All heads at the table looked at me shocked except for Four who looks impressed.
Zeke awkwardly coughs and says, "Where's your lunch it doesn't look like you have lunch often."
"That's sorta because I don't something came up last night which sidetracked me this morning and I forgot to bring something." I say feeling the urge to throw up when I say "something".
"I can give you some money to buy something you don't have to pay me back."
"Nah it's fine really I kinda just skip lunch anyway. Thank you though."
Four suddenly jumps in, "That's probably the most I've heard to say ever."
"It won't happen too often so don't get used to it."
"Hey Tris the girls and I are going shopping and I wanted to know if you wanted to come."
"I-I don't know I have to ask I'll be right back."
"Wait your parents are here?"
"Something like that."
I walk over to the table Peter is at and I tap his shoulder to get his attention. When he turns his face turns to one of disgust.
"What do you want?"
"Someone wanted to know if I wanted to go to the mall and I need to ask your permission."
"Fine whatever but your coming straight home afterwards I'll be in the area with some friends cause we're going to the movies."
"Okay" I say as I begin to walk away.
"And Tris! I hope you had fun last night."
He says maliciously.
The thought slightly brings me to tears as memories flood back but I walk back to the table anyway.
"I can come." I tell Christina I learn her name is.
"Cool. But why do you look like you're about to cry?" She asks concerned.
A few tears fall but I furiously wipe them away hoping no one saw. I am soon mistaken when someone hands me a tissue.
I push it away declining their offer.
"Thanks but no thanks I'm fine."
Just then the bell rings thankfully.
-~ At the mall
After school I walked to the mall, which wasn't very far and I met the others at the food court.
"Hey guys." I say quietly trying to get their attention.
"Hey Tris lets go shopping! Are we gonna split up boys and girls?"
"Sure but can I go with the guys I don't really think I'd be going any where you guys want to."
"Yeah sure but next time your shopping with us."
I nod and walk over to the guys waving bye to the girls. No one really says anything the walk but to suggest to go into a store. It's sorta awkward but I didn't expect anything less.
"So Tris who are your parents? Or your family?" Will asks.
"Well I don't remember my parents much but I guess you could say I'm in foster care. I distinctly remember I have a brother but I barely remember him." I partially lie.
"Oh sorry to bring it up."
"It's fine you guys were bound to find out anyway. Hey what store are we going to first?"
"Hot Topic?" Four asks.
A round of "okay's" go around so we start to head in that direction. Once we get there I slowly walk in never been to the mall I'm pretty cautious.
I look around at the rack full of bracelets trying to find one that might be able to cover my scars. I continue to look when I suddenly hear a voice behind me.
"See anything you like?" Asks someone behind me, I'm guessing a worker.
"Uh yeah actually I like this one." I say pointing to a thick leather bracelet that clips around your wrist with a leather how on top.
"Oh cool but why would a pretty girl like you need one?"
"What do you mean?" I say facing him.
"Well most people that want those types of bracelets self harm I would know my sister used to. It was a rough time for her it wasn't till I saw all those bracelets on her arms I realized why she needed them and finding out was the worst possible feeling ever."
"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that and I didn't really plan on telling anyone and I don't see a point in denying it but yeah I do." I say gulping.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm Zack by the way." He says sticking out his hand.
"Tris." I say shaking his hand and taking in his features. His lip is pierced which if you ask me looks pretty damn hot, a cartilage piercing in his right ear with brown hair and warm hazel eyes. I also notice how he has a few tattoos that once again look pretty damn attractive.
"If you need anyone to talk to you can come to me I might know a thing or two. Can we exchange numbers?" He asks nervously rubbing his bicep.
"Uh how about I give you my email and you give me your number? I lost my phone when I was 13 so I have an iPod."
"Absolutely as long as I get to talk to you." I blush at his comment and hand him my iPod as he hands me his iPhone. After we exchange numbers/emails he says.
"I'll buy it for you the bracelet I mean."
"I couldn't let you do that."
"I insist plus you'll have something to remember me by." He says grabbing the bracelet from my hands and walking to the register.
"Thank you."
"No problem" he says smiling making my stomach do flips and me wanting to throw up unicorns. If that makes any sense.
He hands me the bag still smiling me smiling as well, which I don't do very often.
"Bye Tris I'll text you later."
"Okay. Bye Zack. Thank you again."
I walk out to see the guys all smiling but Four whose face stays blank.
"Oh Trissy Missy who was that?" Zeke asks.
"His name was Zack we were just talking."
"Okay we'll go with what you said."
"Shut up." I say smiling.
As we walk I see a paper on the floor and as I reach to pick it up and throw it away I read it.
MISSING CHILD
NAME: BEATRICE PRIOR
(Then there is a picture of a young girl with blonde hair and stormy grey eyes and a pale white complexion)
LAST SEEN DIVERGENT BOULEVARD 93417
IF SEEN PLEASE CALL 876-931-1111
I stare at the paper and show it to the guys.
"Hey um guys do you know who she is?"
"Oh yeah I remember her! When I was 13 she was all over the news she was apparently kidnapped or went missing one day while the family was moving. No ones ever seen her since most people think she's dead. And right after her family found she was missing they moved back here but they aren't seen around much except her brother who walks around town a lot." Will answers.
"You kind of look like her." Four says confused.
When I look back down at the picture of the girl that was hidden from me it suddenly hits me like a train.
"That girl is me."
