Yay! New chapter, thanks for all the kind reviews. Someone asked for a chapter from Four's POV. I will make some of the next chapter in Four's POV :) That's a promise :P Enjoy :D
Tris POV.
After walking an hour or so, we are finally back on the right track.
"I think we are there soon" I say looking down in the map.
"That's cool, I will make it up to you one day. If you let me"
"I will keep that in mind. Tell me about your girlfriend. Is she the jealous type? Since you felt like trying to scare all the girls away"
"Her name is Marie, and I don't know if you can call her the jealous type. I just don't want to risk any rumors, I know that she has friends on the school and that's why I am keeping my distance" He explains. Actually I don't get it, relationship is all about trust. If she doesn't trust him enough to be around girls, then why the hell is he with her? Maybe there's more to that story, but that's a story for another day.
"You must really care about her" I state, he shrugs.
"I guess so, but it's not only about her you know. It's about my reputation too. I don't want to be that stereo type jock, who's on the football team and fool around with all the girls. I don't want people to think I am like that, because I am not. Hell, I haven't even had intercourse yet" I look at him in shock, and try to stop myself from laughing.
"To much info, Eaton" His cheeks get flushed, and he looks down embarrassed. I'm not sure if he is embarrassed about being a virgin, or embarrassed about saying it.
"What about you and… Intercourse" He stutters.
"Could you stop saying intercourse? For your information; no, I haven't had sex and it's nothing that I am embarrassed about" He just nods, and we keep walking. The sun is almost down, and it's getting a bit colder. I shiver a bit, and Four must notice because he start to take of his jacket.
"You don't have to…" I start, but he cuts me off by handing be the jacket.
"I insist" He says, judging by the look of his eyes, he really is insisting.
"Thank you" I say and put the jacket on. It's way too, but I feel warmer immediately. It smells good too, a mix of cologne and natural male.
"Can you hear that?" He asks, snapping me out of a trance. I listen.
"Yeah, it's music and voices" I look between the trees. "I can see the bon fire" I exclaim, and we hurry in the direction. Just as we are about to reach the others, I unzip his jacket and hands it back to him.
"Just helping you taking care of your reputation" I say with wink, he smiles slightly and puts the jacket back on before we go back to the others.
"Woaw! There you are! We were getting worried!" Christina exclaims as I make my way over to her, she is cozy with a blanket and a burger in her hand.
"Oh yeah, I can see that! You look like you were about to go out and look for us!" I say, and take seat between her and Uriah. Four makes his over to us, and Uriah decides to move so Four can sit between me and him. Thank you very much Uriah!.
"Why the hell did it take that long?" Will asks, handing me a burger.
"Mr. NoItAll here, said that he had tired it before and then we ended up in another part of the woods" I say a smile tucking on my lips, out of the corner of my eye I see Four smiling too.
"Let me get a picture of the long lost couple" Max, our other teacher says, holding up his IPhone. Four gets up from his seat, and then dump down in my lap. I force a smile and a show a thumbs up, right when the flash goes off I push him off me. He lands on the ground with a big thud, Christina and I laugh. He gets up, and brush of the dust from his pants.
"Why so violent?" He asks, rubbing his elbow.
"Because you are freaking annoying, and not to mention heavy!" He flex his arm. Not that I really care, but he has some pretty impressive muscle tone.
"It's the muscles" I frown.
"No, I'm pretty sure that it's fat"
"If he is fat, what does it make me?" Lauren asks, why does she have to say anything? Who was walking to her? I look up at her, with a cold glare.
"Fatter?" I say, I hear people trying to control their laughter. Lauren looks furious.
"Yeah? At least I'm not a ugly, skinny and weak bitch" She snaps.
"Well, this ugly, skinny and weak bitch, was strong enough to tackle your fat ass to the ground" I snap back, Lauren gets up from her seat and takes few steps towards me, while pointing at me.
"You're little…" She is stopped by Max, who is having a firm grip on her arm.
"That's enough. Let's take it down a nudge, alright girls" He says. Lauren gets out of his grip, and sits back down.
"Maybe it's time to get back, it's almost 10" Tori says.
"Yeah, the first 5 groups walks back with Tori. The last five groups help me cleaning up, Four and Tris you kill the bon fire" Max says, as the others start to leave.
"How do we do this?" Four asks.
"If you lift me up, then I can pee on it" He looks at me disgusted, and I roll my eyes.
"Grab that bucket, and then we walk down to the lake right there" I say pointing behind me.
After what seems like forever, we finally get back to the cabin. I walk into the room where my friends are sleeping, and crash down to the bed. I wake up after what seems like 5 minutes, I look at the clock and it's just a little past 1. I rub my eyes, and walk over to my bag. I grab a pack of raisins and I Pepsi, and then walk outside to get some fresh air. I finish the Pepsi, and place the bottle on the table. I just sit and enjoy the silence, and throw a handful of raisins into my mouth. Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder, I get so surprised that I choke on the raisins. I cough, and get's a few hard slaps in the back. When I can finally breath again, I look around to see Four standing with a frightened look on his face.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" He says, holding up his hands.
"You didn't scare me, I got surprised! There is a difference. Why the hell are you sneaking up on me like that anyway? Or first of all, what are you doing here?" I hiss. Apparently he takes this as an invitation, and sits down beside me.
"I couldn't sleep. I guess that's why you are here too" I just nod, looking out in the dark. After some minutes I look at him, I don't why but he seems… sad?
"Is something wrong?" I ask, not even able to stop myself. Damn you abnegation!
"Nothing important. It's just my girlfriend, Marie, she seems pissed because I didn't answered her texts or calls all day"
"You did tell her that you were stuck in the wood with me, and you phone died right?" I ask. He laughs a bit, but it's not a happy laugh.
"If I told her that the reason why I didn't respond, was because I was stuck in the woods with you, she would flip" He says, I know I am not supposed to say anything, but I can't really keep in anymore.
"I'm sorry Four, but why are you with her. Relationships are about trust, and if you can't even be friends with girls without her flipping, then there is something wrong. I know we are not friends, that I am not supposed to be interfering in your love life" I say. He is silent for a moment, then he looks at me and frown.
"How would you know? You don't have a boyfriend"
"No, not in the moment, but I had a boyfriend. He was like Marie, he would be angry if I didn't answer his texts right away. Even if I did, he would find something else to be jealous about. And he would…" I stop in the sentence, and I see the way Four looks at me. He already know the rest.
"I think you get it. I will just leave you now" I say trying to get up, but stops me with a hand on my shoulder.
"No, I'm sorry. I'm actually glad that you are interfering" I look at him with raised eyebrows, and puzzled expression.
"Why is that?"
"Because then we are one step close to starting over" I laugh a little and shake my head. I look at my watch, and it's almost 3am.
"We should really get back to bed now" I say, he thinks for a moment.
"I will make you a deal. We take those raisins, and throw them after the empty bottle. When we get one raisin into the bottle, we will go to bed" He says taking a handful, and start throwing them after the bottle.
"Four, that almost impossible! It will take hours!"
"Ops, I think you just revealed my secret plan" He says smirking, slap him on the shoulder, not hard enough to be serious, but a little bit too hard to just be for fun.
"You're so weird" I say, starting to throw the raisins. It's nowhere near going into the bottle.
"I know, I am sorry" He says.
"It was kind of a compliment" I say, throwing more raisins. I don't look at him, but I can feel that he is looking at me. And he is smiling, a real smile. Maybe there's hope for his Extremely Idiotic Jock Syndrome.
So I hoped you liked it :)... Let me know if you have any ideas for the story :D
