Chapter nine: Marcus
Four's POV
I waited until after dinner to tell Tris. We were outside, walking when I stopped her.
"Here, you need to read this." I said handing her the phone.
As she read through it and looked at the picture the colour drained from her face.
"But, how. I never knew Marcus was a teacher." She said handing me the phone.
"Yeah he became a high school teacher about two years after you left." I said.
"He can't get at in school, Toby." I smiled at the pet name she had begun calling me a few weeks ago.
"I know. But it's the fact he's here. In my school." I said.
"Hey, I'm here. I'll be there with you the whole time." Tris said.
"I know. And look, tris I never thanked you for you know, not looking at me like a kicked puppy or something when I showed you what Marcus did to me." I said.
"I'd never look at you that way. Because seriously a puppy is much cuter then you." Tris said, smiling.
"Whatever. Come on let's go." I said, taking her hand and leading her back to the school.
TWO DAYS LATER.
Maths was the first class of the day. Today as the day Marcus began to work here. Tris was walking next to me. She had begun sitting next to me in every class, which I loved. Half the time neither of us were even listening, we were talking. When we walked into class we realised too late that we were early and that none of the others were here yet. Class didn't start for another 15 minutes.
Marcus was sitting at his desk with a cup of coffee and was reading a few files. When we walked in and he saw us and grinned evilly.
"Hello, Tobias. And Beatrice! I haven't seen you in years." Marcus said.
"You can't hurt me here." I whispered under my breath, repeating what Tris had repeated to me for the last few days.
"Hows your family, Beatrice? Last time I heard from your father you mother had just gone into hospital." Marcus aid getting off his seat and coming over to us.
"Stay away from her." I said standing in between Tris and Marcus.
"And what will you do if I don't? Assault one of your teachers." He asked.
"I'll go to the police. The principal. Everyone and tell them what you've done to me." I threatened.
"And then you will be taken into care. You are still only 17." Marcus counter-threatened.
"He can stay with me and my family." Tris said.
"What lies has he fed you?" Marcus growled.
"They're not lies. You beat your own son!" Tris said or well shouted.
"It was for his own good." Marcus retorted.
"How could that possibly benefit him in any way!" Tris shouted.
"Tris, we should leave. This really isn't your fight." I said.
"If its your fight, it's mine too." Tris said to me.
"We're still going." I said dragging her out of the classroom.
We waited outside for about ten minutes until the bell went. Then we went in. Marcus was standing at the front of class. Me and Tris sat at the back.
"My name is Mr. Eaton, I will be your maths teacher for the remainder of the year." Marcus started talking.
"I will also be moving some people around according to what I have heard from other teachers." Marcus then began to move a few people. I zoned out until I heard my name.
"Four and Tris I want to both of ye to move up to the front, tris sit on the far left, Four on the far right." He said, purposely splitting us up.
I scowled at him as I moved. After maths me and Tris went to our other classes. We weren't split up in any other classes. Then just before dinner when Will was gone, there was a knock on the door.
So, guys! Thank you all so much. I have gotten overwhelming support on the last few chapters. So I'm thinking of running anew contest. Thoughts? And yes the Pedrad brothers will be making an appearance quite soon. Just for the benefit of this story Tris is 15 and Four is 17. Anyway. I'm going ambitious with this chapter. Can I get 30 reviews? Please?
