"Who said your voice is terrible?" Four asked amazed.

I looked down. "Saylor." I muttered under my breath.

"What?" He asked.

I shook my head.

He slid a bit closer. "May I ask you a question?"

I nodded slowly.

"Why are you always so moody?"

For some weird reason, I wasn't offended.

"I'm in depression." I confessed.

Four looked surprised and concerned. "Why? Are you okay? I mean you're obviously not since you're in depression but…"

I motioned for him to stop, and he did. I took a deep breath, preparing for the hate I was sure would come.

"In the beginning of middle school, I was very happy. I had lots of friends, I was in my perfect little world.
"Then these two new kids came to school. Everyone turned to them. They became the new leaders of the class, even though they were getting the lowest scores and I was getting all A+. My friends turned on me and went to them."

Four waited.

"One of these to kid's boyfriend liked me. When I told him I didn't like him he was a little bit surprised. Afterwards he was mad, and told his girlfriend, Sailor, that I was trying to steal him from her. Sailor was upset and got her friend, the other new girl, Ash (Ashley) to pretend to be nice to me. Ash was nice, and she walked me down the hall presumably to lunch but I got jumped in the hallway by the rest of Sailor's friends. They said mean things to me and took turns beating me up. Then the girls left and left Sailor's boyfriend, Addison, and his friends to do the final damage. They… I think they were trying to rape me or something. They tore off my uniform and punched me, then locked me in my locker. After that, when I finally got out, everyone was mean to me. Addison and his friends were a pain, and I always tried to avoid them, but one was always following me, slapping my arm or my back, and taunting me."

"And you believed the mean things they said?" Four sounded concerned, but I continued to look at the floor.

"I was trying out for the school musical, and I got it. I got the part I wanted, which also happened to be the part that Ash wanted too. The gang tortured me so much that I almost dropped out. Addison and his friends… they locked me in my locker multiple times. Once I somehow got locked in the supply closet with Addison."

]Then I got the biggest surprise of my life, so far. Four took me in his arms and let me sob against his chest. When I finally looked up, he looked like he wanted to kill somebody.

"That's why." I whispered.

Four then did something that even more surprised me. He whispered "I'm so sorry, Tris. Why haven't you told anyone?"

"I shrugged. "It's uncomfortable talking about it, I guess."

"I… I like you Tris." He mumbled, and I was shocked to see red flash across his face that looked ready to commit a murder.
