FOUR'S POV
I arrive home with my father after the dinner with Tris' family. I say a quick goodnight to my dad and run up to my room closing the door when I hear my phone vibrate.
Zeke (Z)- Hey Dude what happened to texting?
4- Sorry, I was at Tris' places.
Z- WA GOING OUT NOW WTF 4 U SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME. YES URI OWES ME 20 DOLLARS NOW
4- Woah calm down Zeke. I am NOT dating Tris, and why would you need to give Uri 20$?
Z- I may have sorta made a bet with him
4- For what...?
Z- Oh nothing
4- Zeke. Did you guys make a bet that I would go out with Tris?
Z-...maybe
4- God sake Zeke. I met her today!
Z- Then y were u at her house!?
4- Our parents are business partners.
Z- Oh kk
Z- U do like her, right?
I hesitate a little before answering. I don't like Tris, do I?
4- No. I don't like Tris.
'Am I really lying to my best friend?' I argue with myself.
Z- Really? Y r u lying to yourself
4- I'm not. I'm just saying I don't know her well enough.
Z- Ok wat did u think when u first say her ANSWER TRUTHFULLY
Should I tell Zeke what I thought?
Z- WELLLLL?...
4- Fine. I thought she looked amazing and I loved the fact we had the same music taste and she was in most of my classes and that I sit next to her in French. That doesn't mean I like her.
Doesn't it? It does. I'm just not telling him the truth.
Z- Dude ofc it means u like her. Y else would u be happy if she sat next to u
I should tell him. Right? That would be the good thing to do. I can't lie to my best friend.
4- OKAY OKAY FINE
Z- FINE WAT?
4- I LIKE HER
4- I LIKE TRIS
4- ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
I know I may have over done it but I wanted to get the point out. How will Zeke react?
Z- Dude u r screwed
4- Don't make me regret telling you.
Z- U have some big competition. Literally every singgle guy was staring at her today. Even LAUREN gave her a jealous look.
4- Ugh don't bring up Lauren.
Z- I have to go. See ya tomorrow and ur coming to my party on wednesday right?
4- Yeah. Sure.
(PAGE BREAK NEXT MORNING)
BEATRICE'S POV
My alarm clock blares at 7 o'clock sharp with that annoying sound.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
I refused to put it as a song because I knew that it would make me hate that song for being the reason I have to wake up every morning. I drag myself out of bed, not being bothered to take a shower as I took one last night. Instead, I pull my hair back in a messy bun and wash my face clean. I remove my 'The Fault in Our Stars' from my bed as I fell asleep reading it for the seventh time.
"Oh Augustus Waters" I find myself whisper into thin air.
I grab my Nirvana hoodie, wearing it above a floral shirt with a white collar tucked into blue high waisted jeans and my signature combat boots. I quickly comb my hair and put it into a messy fishtail braid going down one side. I don't really want to go overboard with make up like half the girls I've seen so far so I apply winged eyeliner with mascara and a little blush.
"TRIS GET DOWN HERE WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE" my brother yells from the kitchen, so he has to shout really loud.
"COMING" It has become a custom of shouting in our family, but my parents are sick of it. I grab my backpack, take my phone off the charger and storm down two flights of stairs.
"Sorry, I was in a rush" I say just before my Dad manages to scold me on being loud coming down the stairs. I grab a blueberry muffin from the kitchen counter and rush out the door,
"By Mum, by Dad! I might be late today. Christina is taking me shopping"
"Okay honey! Don't be late" my Mum manages to say before I shut the front door and walk up to Caleb's car.
"Oh, sorry Tris. I forgot. I can't take you to school today"
"What? Why?"
"I promised someone I would pick them up but you can walk? Or take a lift from someone?" he starts the engine and I groan.
"Ugh i don't have time. I'm going to be late."
"Oh and by the way I can't pick you up either"
"Don't worry I have a ride for that"
"Great" he says as he drives away and leaves me standing there with a muffin in one hand and my phone in the other.
I start to make my way to school power-walking as I don't want to be late for my second day. I hear a car engine coming up behind me. Hoping it's Caleb changing his mind, I turn to see a black corvette driving up towards me, taking the same pace as me. I was warned about kidnappers who grab people and stuff them in their car so I start to jog, only to see the car is still next to me. Panicked, I break into a run. The car picks up speed and I see the windows start to roll down. I expect to see a fifty something year old man with a tooth missing smiling an evil smile with graying hair but I turn to see...
Four
Oh. Not what I was expecting. I slow down and see him smirk at me.
"Am I really that bad that you want to get away from me?" he laughs jokingly.
"What do you expect. I didn't know it was you and I couldn't take any chances" I smile and walk up to his car.
"You have an awesome car" I whisper. It truly was amazing. I've always wanted one like this.
"Sure is. Want a ride?"
"If it's okay. My brother ditched me to drive with his Erudite-geeks"
"Yeah sure hop in" I walk to the other side of the car, open the door and sit down. Four takes off once again and i don't eat my muffin, scared that I would get crumbs all over his car.
"Got any music?" I ask, not wanting to make the car ride long and awkward like I see in those cheesy movies.
"Yeah, check the glove box" I open it and the first album and the first thing I see is 'Stars Dance by Selena Gomez'
"Really? Selena Gomez?" I hold up the album and see his eyes widen.
"Ummm.. that's, that's Zeke's"
"Sure it is" I tease.
"Okay fine. Selena Gomez is my guilty pleasure" he smiles but doesn't face away from the road. "Promise you won't tell?"
"Don't worry. She's mine as well. Your secret is safe with me" I pop the cd and I skip all the songs until I reach Save the Day. We sit in silence for the first part but I eventually get comfortable and start singing along. I see Four giving me a look of something that isn't awe, and it isn't disgust. A look of respect. He turns back to the road and starts singing along as well and might I say
DAMN
He has some amazing voice. I turn to look at him and smile. He is really chiseled features with a full bottom lip and a spare upper one. And then his eyes. Gosh his eyes are as deep as the ocean and I can get lost in them anytime. He turns to see me staring at him and I immediately turn away, blushing slightly.
Argh he just caught me staring at him. He must be so freaked out.
He pulls into the school parking lot just as the song finishes and we both get out.
"Thanks for the ride. I would have been late if it weren't for you" I thank him and walk towards school before he can say anything else.
"Any time. Oh, and Tris?" I turn towards him smiling but not wanting to embarrass myself.
"You have an amazing voice" wait that was not what I was expecting to hear. I find myself blushing once again.
"Umm, thanks. You too" I grin at him and make my way to my locker, dumping my bag and grabbing my books for maths. I see Four come up next to me and remember that he has the locker next to me.
"Four?"
"Mhmm?" he take his books out and closes his locker, looking right at me.
"Could you by any chance show me the way to maths?"
"Yeah sure. Follow me" I follow him through the crowds of people around the hallway. I recognise Lauren pushing her way forward, closely followed by her minions Emmy and Ciara. Lauren is wearing a black skirt that shouldn't be classified as a piece of clothing, showing off her wide, wide thigh gap and a very, very revealing black blouse with those four-inch heel-less heels in a bright shade of pink.
"Hey Four" she says in a voice I think she finds sexy and irresistible, but in reality it sounds like she has a soar throat. She places a perfectly manicured finger on his chin, making him look her way.
"What do you want?" he replies rather harshly but to fair she is invading his personal space.
"I was wondering if you want to catch a movie this weekend seeing as we're technically going out"
I can't help but feel jealousy going through me.
"What makes you say that?" I find myself saying and I immediately regret it. She turns to me and if looks can kill, damn I would be dead by now. Everyone in the hallway looks at me in almost a pitying way.
"And who invited you into this conversation, whore?" she snaps at me, still not taking her finger off Four so he has to move back. I have to try and hold back my laughter.
"Gosh you have some nerve calling me a whore, Lauren, and technically I can join this conversation anytime I want since i'm Four's friend" she laughs and the way she does makes me think she doesn't have anything else on under her blouse.
"Check again. I'm his girlfriend and I'm saying he can't be friends with you"
"Why don't you ask him? He can make choices for himself" Lauren turns to Four and so do I. Without hesitation, Four answers.
"I'm not your boyfriend, Lauren. Never was, never will be" Lauren ignores this and turns back to me placing a hand on her hip.
"You're just a fat little whore, you know that Tris?"
"Well that beats being an anorexic slut any day" I retaliate, hearing 'ooooooooo's' coming from everyone listening, which happens to be even more people. "You know what's 'in' this season? Skin"
"Take that back you ignorant whore"
"Make me" I say knowing I can beat Lauren in a fight any day. She throws a sloppy punch which I catch without any struggle, pushing her first back. She looks at me in a shocked way but then aims a kick at me shin, which I side step easily.
"God you slutty whore bitch" I think that's the only comeback she actually has... and with that she steps back and runs at me, screaming profanities.
"Big mistake" i step out of that tackle really easily and she lands face first on the floor.
"Remember this next time you decide to call me a whore" I step away, grabbing my books that 'somehow' ended up on the floor and turn to Four who has a look of amusement on his face, as well as respect.
"Now I know what will happen if I ever get on your bad side"
"Well, at least you will think twice about it" I joke. "So, show me the way to maths"
