"Just follow me." He said, handing his hand out to me. I took his hand, and he led me down different hallways. Then we got a door. He opened the door and led me in. I looked around and saw that I was in his room.
"Is this your room?" I asked him, looking around.
"Yeah." He said.
"I thought everyone who wasn't a leader had to have a roommate." I said.
"I don't, you see." He said.
"Yeah. I can see." I said.
"So we can hang out here." He said.
"Okay. Thanks, Four, for everything." I said.
"No problem. You might not want to hear this, but how are you?" He asked me.
"The truth? Or the lie?" I asked him.
"Whatever you want to tell me." He said.
"I am not okay. I hurt. I can't believe my father. The one who said he would always be there for me. He wasn't. I just can't believe it." I told him.
"I understand." Is the only thing he said when looking out his window.
"You do. How?" I asked him. I walked over to him. He was taller than me. But not by much.
"A long story. But I kind of don't want to tell. Many down the road, you will figure out." He said.
"Okay. Now what?" I asked him.
"I don't know." He said.
"Okay. Then I am going to do some of my homework." I said.
"I thought you had all that done." He said to me.
"No. I keep pushing faction history. I really should do it." I said.
"Why do you push it off?" He asked me.
"I hate it, and the teacher hates me. I am just passing." I said.
"Do you want me to help you? I am pretty good in faction history." He asked me.
"I would like that." I said, smiling.
"Come over to the bed." He said. We sat on the bed, and he helped me with my faction history.
After that, we just relaxed in his room. It was getting late. He went to the bathroom and came out topless.
"You can take the bed. I will take the floor." He said.
"I can just go." I said.
"No. It's cool." He said. Then he made a bed on the floor. I then got comfy in his bed and fell asleep.
I woke up hearing something at the door. I opened my eyes to realize I was not in my room. I was in Four's room.
Then the door opened to see Lauren standing there with Chris and the one person I didn't want to see in someone's room. I saw my mother.
"Told you she would be in here." Lauren said to Chris.
"I don't know how you know, but you were right." Chris said, looking at me.
I just lay in Four's bed, pretending to be still asleep. I then heard Four wake up. He let go of my hand. I didn't even know he had my hand.
"What may I be the pleas to see you ladies this morning?" He asked them nicely. If my mother was not with them. He would have to get them out or something.
"Tris' mother was looking for her. So why don't you wake your girl up? And let's do it PG 13. Her mother is standing here." Lauren said.
He just glared at Lauren for that comment. I am not his girl. He has not asked me out or anything. He doesn't even like me.
*Four's POV*
I glared at Lauren for the comment she said. Tris is not my girl. But not yet. I just don't know how to tell her. I am not ready for her to know. I would have said something back to her. But I didn't want to be rude in front of Tris' mother.
"Tris. Hey Tris. Wake up. Your annoying friend, Lauren, and your mother are here." I said to her.
She starts to move. She looked up at me. She looked so beautiful. You don't know how much I want to kiss her. But I will not.
"Really, they are?" She asked me. I nodded and moved so she could see them. Lauren waved at her. Chris was trying not to laugh. Her mother just stood there smiling.
*Tris' POV*
"You look comfy." Chris said to me.
"Oh, shut up." I said to her.
"Is that his shirt?" Chris asked me.
"I will meet you in the Pit in a few minutes." I said, getting out of his bed and quickly closing the door. I turned to look at Four. He was laughing at me.
"What is so funny?" I asked him.
"Nothing." He said.
"Whatever. I am getting ready." I said, walking into the bathroom. I got changed. I walked out in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
"You look nice." Four said to me.
"Thanks." I said. I then got my stuff and walked to his door. I was halfway out the door away. I turned back around and quickly went back to him. "Thanks, Four." I then kissed him on the cheek and left. I walked to the Pit to meet up with my mother.
"There you are, honey." My mother said.
"Sorry, it took me a while. I had to drop my thing off in my room." I told them.
"It's okay. I heard what happened yesterday." My mother said.
"Oh, you heard about that." I said.
"Yes. I am your mother. I know everything. Are you okay?" She asked me.
"Yeah, I am fine." I told her.
"You should have seen her. She was so dauntless." Lauren said to my mother.
"I bet. So I told Caleb we would meet up with your father." My mother said.
"Okay. You can go meet up with them. I will be right there. I want to grab something to eat." I told her.
"Okay. You do that. I will see you soon." She said. Then I walked to get something to eat.
"Are you really going?" Chris asked me.
"Yes." I said.
"Really? Most how your father treated you yesterday." Myra said to me.
"He is still my father. No matter what. So I am going." I said.
I got done eating. I walked out to go find my parents and brother. I was walking the grounds when I saw them sitting outside at the tables by the school. I walked to them. I put a fake smile on when I got closer to them.
"There you are, Tris." My mother said.
"So it took me a while. I thought you guys were going to be at Erudite. If I knew you guys were going to be here. I would have taken the train." I told them.
"Sorry, Tris. That is my fault. I just thought a walk would be nice." Caleb said.
"It's cool, Caleb. But next time, a quick text would have been nice." I said. I looked over to my father. He had been quiet since I got here. Also, he has been looking at my shirt.
"Where did you get that shirt? I don't remember you having that shirt." He asked me.
"I don't remember." I looked down at it. "Ah, wait. I know where it came from. It's Four's shirt." I told him.
"Four?" He looked at my mother.
"Her inserter. He is also a student." My mother said.
"Isn't he older than you?" Caleb asked.
"Wait. You are hanging out with an older guy you don't know. Why are you wearing his shirt?" My father asked.
"I borrowed it from him." I told him.
"Honey, it is not a big deal. They are friends. There is no problem there." My mother said.
"There better just be friends." My father said. I didn't say anything after that. Caleb changed the topic to school and everything. But I couldn't wait for the day to end.
When the day ended, I said goodbye to my parents. Visiting days were over, and all the parents went home. I won't see them until the next visiting day. But one good thing. Austin is staying. I got my best guy friend back.
