Tris POV
"Why?" I ask out of curiosity, why is Four adamant on staying here? Were not friends, we've never even spoken properly. Were two people at the opposite ends of the popularity scale. Four looks down at his feet and sighs, he looks as if he's preparing himself,
"I don't want to leave you because I want to make sure okay, I don't like the idea of you being on your own." I don't ask anymore questions, and I feel my cheeks redden out of embarrassment, "Look Tris, what I'm trying to say here is that I don't want to be the popular Four Eaton, I want to just be me, I'm sick of my fake friends. I want one real friend, and I want that friend to be you." Friends with Four Eaton. Now this either a really crappy prank someone's playing on me or the boy opposite me is completely different side of the popular boy who actually just wants a friend.
Four holds out a hand and raises his eyebrow, "Friends." I shake his hand, "Friends," I just think to myself will he still be my friend in 3 months when he sees I have a growing bulge that will be holding a new life? I will see if he'll still be my friend then.
"Now that were friends and all," Four pauses and gives me a toothy grin, "Don't you think we should learn a bit about each other, I barely know you. The Tris I know is just the shy girl who sits at the back of the class, I'm pretty sure your not like that!" Four exclaims, "Sorry to let you down, but I'm really that boring." We laugh together, "Okay what about the basics about each other ?" I nod in agreement, "Favourite colour?" I ask, "Black." He says clearly black, I feel myself light up, "That's mine too!" I exclaim, "I only like it because." Four interrupts me, and we both end up saying "It reminds me of the night sky."
We both stare at each other at awe, I wonder what else we have in common, "So how many siblings do you have?" He asks me, I retreat slightly, no one knows I'm in foster care apart from Chris. It feels weird opening up again, it's still hard to talk about Caleb and my parents. "Um well I had a brother older then me, Caleb." "Had?" Four repeats. I feel slightly uncomfortable, as tears begin to line the bottom of my eye,"He along with my parents were murdered a few years back." I whisper out, Four's face immediately softens and he then surprisingly sits on the bed and pulls me into a hug, he doesn't say anything, it's like he knows how it feels.
I quickly wipe my eyes to stop any tears that threaten to fall after Four lets go and I ask in return about his family, "No siblings, it's just Me and my Dad. My mum died when I was 8. I don't remember her much." He starts to look sad, so I say the standard "I'm sorry," he returns a smile, "Why are we getting ourselves upset eh Tris? I say no more tears!" He says enthusiastically. I laugh, this is a completely new side to Four. "So how about this Tris Prior? I shall propose an idea! How about I get the nurse to write me a note excusing me from the rest of the day so I can take you home and we can watch a good old movie."
"As much as like the idea, I don't think the nurse will let you." I say sadly, "Well you leave that down to me Prior." "Prior? Are we on second name status all ready Eaton?" I laugh, "Oh well I like to move fast you know," he smiles as he walks towards the front nurse office, I can't just about hear their conservation, "Mr Eaton, I cannot let you take a student out of my care, I simply cannot." I hear Four sigh,"But she feels worse," that's a lie I think to myself, my morning sickness had gone long ago, it was really only a hint of dizziness left, but I mentally thank Four for trying.
" I understand that Mr Eaton but-" he interrupts the nurse and says," She's really ill and as her friend it's my duty to care for her, can't you let it slip just this one time? Her foster parents won't be able to care for her until later, and right now she can barely stand up." Another lie.
Eventually the conversation dies down until I can no longer hear it, it's is only when Four comes bounding in the room proclaiming that he was allowed to take me home that I know what's going on. He then lifts me off the bed and follows the nurse out of the office. I'm quite shocked by Four picking me up but then I remembered he's done this before so it's not anything new to him. The nurse directs us out of the main doors and wishes me better, I give her a grateful smile in return, when we reach Four's car he sets me down.
"What on earth did you say to her to get us out of there?" I ask with a confused face, "Oh well you knew I turned on the good old Eaton charm, works every time." "I bet it did." We laugh again, "Come on let's get you back to to mine, and watch a movie." Four says happily, "We've been friends for half an hour and I'm already going back to yours, moving a bit fast don't you think?" I ask seriously, "Oh you know Prior like I said earlier I like to live life in the fast lane." He gives me an another toothy grin.
I smile, and I feel butterflies in my belly ; I've know this boy for an hour and he's already making me happy, is this what it's like to have a crush? Because if it is I'm loving it already.
