Chapter eight: Back To School

Four's POV

The three weeks of holidays were over. Me and Tris were currently on the way back to school. We had been dating for the past three weeks. But we weren't exactly sure about how to tell everyone. Tris had told me that Chris was going to more then likely demand every detail about how I ended up staying with Tris over the holidays and how we ended up together. We still weren't sure about how we were going to leave out the Marcus beating me part.

Tris was asleep, her head resting on my shoulders she was wearing the necklace I had gotten her for Christmas. It was a silver necklace with a black stone hanging off the front if it. The back and sides of the stone were encased in more silver which could have been engraved, but after I bought it I realised I didn't actually have enough money left to get it engraved. I was also wearing the present Tris had gotten for me. It was a watch, silver strap and on the watch face the number 3,6,9 and 12 were slightly bigger then the other numbers. And now could you really imagine that we agreed that we wouldn't buy each other presents because we had only been going out a few days?

As we pulled in through the gates, I woke Tris up.

"We're here." I said as she opened her eyes.

"I don't want to move though. I like it here on your shoulder." She said, burying her head deeper into me.

"Well, as much as I like it too, we have to move." I said.

"Fine. Let's go." Tris said.

We both stepped off the bus with our suitcase's (I had bought some new pants and shirts while on holidays). The courtyard was empty, so I gave Tris a kiss. Electricity shot through my body as our lips connected. I loved that feeling. It was addictive.

"So, how are we going to feel them or more importantly tell Christina." Tris asked as we walked toward the front door.

"I dunno. Maybe I just couldn't cope being without you and I had to go to you."I said dramatically as I opened the door.

"Yeah. How about, your dad was on holiday and you had no one else to stay with?" Tris said, immediately dismissing my idea.

"Yeah that sounds better then my idea." I said, grinning.

"Good. Then that means we don't have to sneak around." Tris said, turning to face me.

"No. We don't." I said, pulling her into me.

She was still about two inches shorter then me, so even when she stood on her tippy toes, she was still too short. So I bent down and kissed her. Our kiss was broken up by a very excited looking Christina.

"OHMYGODHOWNOWHENDIDTHISHAPPEN" Christina shouted.

"I'll explain later." Tris said.

"Come on. You are going to explain now." Chris demanded.

"It alright, I have to go and unpack anyway." I said.

"Ok, I'll see you later." She said before kissing me and letting Chris drag her away.

I trudged my way up the stairs. I went into my room. Will was in there unpacking.

"Hey Will." I said, throwing my case onto the bed.

"Hey, how was the break?" He asked.

"It was fine. Quite eventful." I said.

"How so?" Will asked.

"You'll find out later." I said.

"Fine be that way so." Will said.

"How was your break?" I asked.

"Fine, not much happened. Oh, did you hear, Mrs. Reyes had a stroke. She's going to out for like a year." Will said.

"Really?! God. I'd say something but I actually liked her. She's a good teacher." I said, feeling sorry for her.

"Yeah. Anyway. I'm off to find Chris, I'll see you at dinner." Will said before leaving.

I unpacked and lay down for a while. Until my watch beeped slightly telling me it was time for dinner. So I made my way down to the canteen and sat in our usual spot. Lynn and Lauren were already there. Lynn didn't speak but Lauren immediately began to subtly hit on me. I was talking to Lauren when Tris sat down next to me and kissed me.

"Hey. I see you survived the last few hours without me." She said.

"It was really hard but I did it." I said as my phone buzzed.

I could feel Lauren's eyes bore into my head as Alice came and sat down next to Will. She seemed to be happy for me. But I wasn't sure. I took out my phone. My month went dry when I saw who it was from.

"Son, you left so quickly I didn't get to tell my great news. I applied for a position at your school. Have a look at the picture. Can't wait to see you - Marcus."

The picture attached to the text was of a letter from the school it said that Marcus had gotten the temporary position of a Maths teacher while Mrs. Ryes was recovering. It said he started in two days time.
