Chapter 6:

Tris' POV:

"Tom reluctantly gave up the brush…" Will starts, though I don't make much effort to listen.

My thoughts wander to Four. I just can't seem to get him out of my mind. I am never like this with boys – have never been involved with one. I never thought anyone would give me much consideration, and that was much of a hindrance to any desires of being with a boy. An entire 16 years devoted to thinking about only others, and you would think I'd be used to it.

This time, however, is different. I don't know how, I think I just tell myself it is. Nonetheless, he is imprinted in my mind, fading in and out of my thoughts, unannounced.

I can get to know the boy, though, and am sure I want to. There is something… captivating about Four, though he's barely said 3 words a day, as if he's afraid if he does, he'll let a secret spill. It seems so natural, how he keeps to himself. It seems like more of a reason to want to know him. He keeps himself blocked of and guarded under lock and key, in a little compartment in his brain where he knows never to open again.

The only thing that is able to thwart this train-wreck of emotions is the guarantee that he can never feel the same…

A/N: Hello! I felt like adding that, only because I had no other ideas for this chapter. What I'm trying to do is prepare my chapters ahead of time, so they could be longer once I type them. It's a process, but it's all for you. If you hadn't already, please read my crossover Ever In Your Favor. I believe it's one of my best, and it's going to be the longest. So, I'm doing a lot of work on that.
