Chapter 9
Harmless Nosy Question

"You are just a few months older!" I throw a pillow at his chest and we both start laughing.

.xx.

I found Christina in the hallway, while I was going back to our dorm, when she said she needed to talk to me.

"What happened?" I ask, worried.

"Nothing!" She smiles. "I just need to ask you something. I'll be right back, I need to go talk to Marlene really quick, wait for me in the dorm."

I nod my head yes and she sprints out of the hallway we were standing in. I shrug and get back to our dorm to watch television. After a couple of minutes, she returns.

"So, what did you wanted to talk about?" I ask turning off the television, as she sits on the bed next to me.

"What were you really thinking about before we hit the dance floor, yesterday?"

"What?" I ask dumbly even though I understood everything.

"What were you really thinking about yesterday night?" She repeats.

Oh. That caught me off guard. I thought she had forgotten about it. I mean, I didn't even realized that she didn't believe what I said.

"Well, hm... Thoughts are kind of personal. I haven't asked you what do you think of before you go to sleep, for example."

"That's not what I meant. I could tell you weren't having normal thoughts."

I frown. Normal thoughts? Before I can open my mouth she begins speaking again.

"I think you were curious about something. You expression said it all."

"My expression?" I ask, surprised.

"My mother taught me about body language. I can tell when someone is lying in instants."

"Are you calling me a liar?" I gasp.

"No! It was an example. And don't change the subject. I know you were curious about something."

"And what if I were?"

"Well, then, I want to know!" She says gesturing with her hands.

It's not that I don't trust Christina, but I've only met her for two days.

I don't want to get too involved in other people's business. I didn't even wanted to hear their conversation, in the first place! And Christina gets along pretty well with Marlene, who is Lynn's bestfriend. It would be so bad if Lynn knew I want to know her past with Peter and why it influenced her to "stand up" for me.

I started mumble, but I couldn't say a proper word. I didn't even knew if I wanted to tell her, lie to her or just change the subject.

"Oh, I knew it!" She clapped her hands once. "Tell me."

"Look Christina," I take a deep breath. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that is not our business. At all. I shouldn't even be thinking about this! It's doesn't involve my life, nor yours."

Well, actually it kind of does. Mine, at least.

"I know you all for nearly two days, I don't want to be known as the nosy girl." I continue. "I'm the new girl, most of them know eachother for more than a year!"

"So, it's about someone we know!" She squeals. "The good thing is that we know almost no one, so this is going to be easy!"

"N-"

"Okay, it's impossible to be about me, Will, your brother, ... More... And maybe not Lauren and Eric also." She rested her chin on her right hand and tapped her fingers on it. "We have, Four... Marlene..." At each name she said, she looked straight into my eyes. That scared me a little. "Uriah... Lyn- OH MY, IT'S ABOUT LYNN."

What the...? How in this world does she got that? How is that even possible?

"Er... No." I try to say firmly.

"Of course it is! Your eyes changed and you looked away when I said her name. It's about her! Tell me, I need to know!"

"It's not about her." I say.

"It is! Now you are getting nervous. I bet you have the palms of your hands sweating" She winks.

That's definitely creeping me out, now. I resist the urge to clean my hands to my pants.

She gets closer to me. "Tell me." She almost begs, making a cute puppy face.

I get up and say, "Christina, I can't. I really can't. It's not about me, and I don't have anything to with it with!"

"So, it's about her." She smirks.

"And now, if you'll excuse me," I say, ignoring her last comment while I walk over to the door. "I need to help Zeke cleaning the roof. Want to join us?"

"Nah, thank you. But don't think you'll get rid of me." She winks before I get out of the dorm.

I don't know at what time do they start cleaning, so, I decide to go find Zeke. And what better place to look first, than his dorm? I just need to figure out where it is.

Knock knock knock

"Hello, my dearest Tris. What brings you to my beloved dorm?" Uriah greets me with his usual grin on his face.

"Hi there." I shyly grin, looking at the floor. "I'm sorry to bother you, but do you mind telling me where's your brother's room?"

"Sure, just take a left here and left again in the next hallway. It's the first door at the right. I don't know the number, sorry." He smiles.

I thank him, and follow his directions.

I knock twice, but I don't hear anyone. So, I decided to knock twice again.

"It's opened!" A male voice screams. Zeke's voice, probably. I couldn't really tell, because I almost couldn't hear him.

I get in the room, and he is in the bathroom.

"Oh, well, hm, sorry to bother y- AHH" I turn and lead my hands to my face as soon as I see Four getting out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around him, covering him from the waist to the middle of his shin.

"Holy crap!" He screams. "I didn't know it was you!"

I say nothing, but still have my eyes closed, even though I have them covered with my hands and I'm not facing him.

"Hold on." he says and I hear him walking somewhere in the room. "Okay, you can look now."

I turned around to face him, but still had my eyes closed. I open my left eye slowly, and when I see he has a shirt and the towel on I open them both. If I were him, I'd put on some pants. Not a shirt.

I think this was the first time I really looked to him. For a bit, I studied his features. His deep blue eyes, that were staring at me wide open, the little tiny bit of beard that was growing and the slightly weird nose that actually looked good on him. He is hot.

"Hm, nevermind." I say shrugging. And before I can quickly turn to the door, he speaks.

"Why did you came here for?" He says, moving his hand in his wet hair.

"I was looking for Zeke."

"Roof." He says, pointing to the ceiling.

"Oh, okay. Bye then." I quickly say and get out of the room.

In my first day here, without wanting or even realizing, I entered Uriah's room when he was about to change. I grin at the thought of that. At the thought of his smirk and his wink when he said he was about to change, his bronze skin and his tangled hair. Four is hot, but Uriah... Uriah is handsome. In my second day, I entered his brother' an Four's dorm when Four was showering. I don't even want to imagine my third day.

I open the metal door that leads to the roof and I see Zeke and some other people, cleaning the roof. Picking up cups, sweeping trash, ...

"Hey Tris!" Zeke says when he sees me.

"Hey. Can I help?"

I don't even know why I asked him this, I was the one who yesterday night volunteered to help.

"The more the merrier." He grins and hands me a broom. "Have fun!"

I hope Christina is Candor enough in this chapter :3 Remember in the book when Christina was telling Tris and Will how she knew they lied and that?

Keep reviewing!
