Chapter six: Breakups and Dances

TWO MONTHS LATER

Four's POV

Alice had arrived two months ago. She had been shy and tended not to talk to anyone but me for the first few days, but after that she began to warm up to Chris and Tris and Will. Even though there always seemed to be something wrong with Tris when Alice was around.

It was also a month since we broke up.

*Flashback*

I had knocked on Alice's door a few moments earlier. When she opened the door, she was wearing a pair of jeans and a white blouse.

"Hey, Four." She said, but not smiling like she usually was.

"Hey, Alice. Look can we talk." I asked.

"Yeah, I need to talk to you too." She said, letting me in.

"You go first." She said, letting me sit down on her bed.

"Ahm..I think...we should, ahm, I dunno, ahm..break up." I said, quite unsure about how I was supposed to do this.

To my surprise she didn't shout at me, no. She smiled.

"Good. I was going to break up with you. I just didn't really know how to" she said.

"So, you're not mad?" I asked.

"No, I'm not." Alice replied.

"Cool, so friends, yeah?" I asked.

"Sure." She said hugging me.

*Flashback ends*

There was also a dance. Since it was nearing the middle of the third week of December, there was a 'Christmas Dance' coming up. I wasn't going to go. Well that was until Chris heard and told I had to go. I refused her many times. Until she set it up that the whole group cornered me and forced me to go.

So that was were I was on the night of Wednesday the 17th of December. I was thinking about going home. On one hand I was happy I was going to see Zeke and Uriah again, but in the other I had to stay with Marcus for three weeks.

I was in the middle if a thought when Tris sat down next to me. She looked bored.

"You alright?" I asked.

"No, I'm bored as hell. Lynn didn't bother showing, Marlene is refusing to come to the dance because she's skyping with her boyfriend who isn't in this school anymore, Lauren is god knows where and Will and Chris are being unbearably cute to each other." Tris said in in one breath.

"Marlene has a boyfriend? Who?" I said. This was the first I heard of this.

"Ahm, yeah. Some guy who was here last year. Ahm, Uriah was his name. I think." Tris said, sounding unsure.

"Wait. Uriah Pedrad?" I asked a grin spreading on my face.

"Yeah. Thats it. How do you know his last name?" She asked.

"He's my best friends brother. He lives like ten minutes from my house. I can't believe he never told me he had a girlfriend." I said.

"Small world." Tris said.

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I finally built up enough courage to ask her to dance. She agreed and I took her hand and lead her to the dance floor. A slow song came on. Blushing slightly, she out her arms a around my neck and I put mine around her waist. We danced, or more accurately, stepped on each other. By the end of the song I realised that I was inches away from her. It took everything I had not to kiss her. When the sing ended. We broke apart and I saw a slight look of disappointment in her face.

The rest of the night was quiet. We didn't dance again, which made me sad. But when I got back to bed that night, I fell into a deep sleep where all I dreamt about was Tris.
