A/N:
Hey! I have no school today (snow reasons), so I can update at least twice to three times today!
P.S. All chapters will be Tris's POV unless stated otherwise.
Disclaimer: OMG HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT. I DO NOTOWN DIVERGENT UNDER ANY CONDITION. I AM NOT VERONICA ROTH as much as I wish I were.
Tris's POV
"See you later, Four," I say, smirking a bit. I turn around and walk towards my car.
Another chance?
I already said yes, so there's no taking that back.
Although, if he wanted another chance, why was he such a bitch this morning?
I shake my head clear of the thoughts as I approach my car. I hop in the driver's seat and put the key in the ignition. I drive home in complete silence, wanting to enjoy the peace and quiet again. God knows that Christina will call as soon as I get home and bombard me with thousands of questions such as: Where were you? Was there a guy? Are you okay? Was the guy cute? Do you want to know your missed work? What was his name?
I pull into my driveway and park the car. I get out and walk in the front door.
"I'm home!" I yell, slamming the door shut. I am starting to walk up the steps when my interrupts me.
"Hey, honey," she says, with a phone glued to her right ear. I'm not going to say that my mom doesn't love me or doesn't care about me, because she obviously does. She's just always so busy and caught up with work; same with my dad.
"Hey," I say, making my way up the stairs into my room. I walk in and throw my book bag in the corner. I flop down on my bed and feel tears pricking behind my eyes. I was going to cry before, while talking to Four, but I couldn't let him win again.
As he did before.
I finally let the tears fall. Before my brother comes in and asks why I am crying, I jump up and lock my door, laying back down on my bed.
Why, Tobias. Why? Why did you break me. I can barely trust anyone anymore because of you. Why did I give you another chance?
I hear my phone buzz. I dig in my pocket and check who texted me: Christina.
C: Hey, where were u today?
T: I honestly don't wanna talk about it…
C: C'mon, Tris. I kno u ditched…the whole school probably knos. (pretty obvious, u little badass, u) plz just tell me! Were u w/ a guy? ;)
There we go. Question number one.
T: Fine…ok I was w/ a guy…but not in the way u think
Okay, I can trust some people…Christina is definitely one of them. Four didn't crush me that bad.
I can practically hear Christina squeal through the phone. She's such a girly-girl, it's disgusting, I think to myself.
C: OMG! Who was it? Is he cute? What did u guys do? I bet u kissed ;) did u guys ditch together? So adorbs! U guys need a power couple name now…
I roll my eyes. How do I tell her I was with Four? She'll think we're dating. I shiver. Imagine you and Four dating, I tell myself.
T: It was 4...no we r not dating. He just needed 2 talk 2 me.
I shove my phone back in my pocket. I don't need to see fifteen more messages from Christina asking me what we talked about. I think about doing my homework that I received from my morning classes. That should keep my mind from wandering to unwanted things.
I walk over to my book bag and take out my Science textbook. I wipe my eyes from my previous breakdown session, and I sit at my desk. I read the little sticky note I stuck there in my scratchy handwriting to remind me of my homework.
Read pages 2 to 10 and discuss pages with assigned partner. Partner: Christina.
I put my Science textbook away.
Reading equals no homework.
I hear my phone buzz at least ten more times. I think back to what other homework I need to do. Since it was the first day of school, they didn't really assign much of anything. They surprisingly just let us talk about our summers, and we were introduced to the new students, who - not surprising - stared at me as if I had three heads. They probably weren't used to a girl with dark blue highlights or tattoos - wearing all black.
I take my phone out of my pocket once again, seeing eight messages from Christina, one from Uriah, and one from Four. He still has my number? I mean, I deleted his contact after his little friendship breakup with me, but I always had his number memorized. I had surprisingly not forgotten it.
I check my messages from Christina first.
C: FOUR?! U mean, totally jackass, bad boy FOUR?!
Tris?! ANSWER ME!
What did he say?
Hello?!
Did he hurt u again?
HELLO? EARTH TO TRIS!
UGHHH
I'M COMING OVER THERE.
I roll my eyes. Christina sent this message two minutes ago, so she should be here in twenty minutes. I open my message from Uriah.
U: Hey…Chris told me u talked 2 Four today…R U OK? DID HE HURT U? TALK 2 ME TRIS. U CAN ALWAYS TALK 2 URI! ILY LIKE A SISTER
I laugh at his message and quickly respond.
T: Hey, Uriah…yeah, I'm fine. Chris is coming over. Badass Tris is always fine. Thx tho.
I lastly check the message from Four, bracing myself for what he has to say.
C'mon, Tris! He's just a guy, and you're a complete badass, like you told Uriah…you can handle whatever he has to say, I reassure myself.
F: Hey, Tris…ur probably wondering y I have ur number…I, uh, never deleted ur contact. Anyways, WHAT THE HELL DID U TELL CHRISTINA!? APPARENTLY SHE ASKED URIAH TO ASK ZEKE FOR MY NUMBER AND NOW SHE WON'T STOP TEXTING ME! WHAT THE HELL DID U SAY?!
I laugh. I almost forgot that Zeke was his new best friend after he blew me off. None of my friends had his number anyways, so it makes sense that Christina didn't have his number. I tap the button to respond.
T: LOL…all I said is that I talked 2 u…I didn't tell her what about tho…she'll question us even further
He responds with a simple, "'k, see you later." I finally turn my phone off and unlock my door. Christina should be here any minute.
One thought floods my mind before I hear a loud knocking at the front door:
He never deleted my contact.
A/N:
God, that was a LONG chapter! 1,200 WORDS!
Can any of you guess why Four kept her contact? Answer in the review box thing :D
Anyways, NOT UPDATING UNTIL I GET 20 REVIEWS TOTAL!
If it takes more than a week, then I'll update after that week is done.
