Tris Pedrad

Chapter 4

~ TRIS POV ~

Oh my Gosh, god help me! The whole time in our English class, that jerk (Jake) is passing me awkward smiles and deadly winks. I mean I agree he is handsome with his deep green eyes and chocolate brown hair, he even has six packs! Ah, what is wrong with me? I think I am suffering from de-guydration. Gosh, here we go again, please ring the bell, please just do it! 

For once luck is in my side and finally the bell rings. I pick up my notebook to get out of this cursed classroom, when leaning against the door is the one and only Four! This day can not get any better. I try to slip out but he blocks my way. 

"Where do you think you are going sweetie?" 

"Uh-um-well I have a gym class, I gotta go," I say trying to sound as sweet as possible. He just smirks, then from behind him Jake comes and whispers something in Four's ear. How could I forget they were best friends! Four just nods and go out.

"Oh, I am sorry to scare you Tris. I-um just was thinking if I could get your cell-phone number?" Oh thank god I thought he was gonna say something else. 

"Okay, give me a pen and paper. I'll write it for you." 

"No, here is a pen just write it on my hand or something." I hesitate for a moment but after a minute take his palm in my hands and scribble the number as fast as I can. He smiles and goes to join his other friends.

 Then when I head towards my locker to change into my gym suit, Four blocks my path. "You know Tris, your brothers will be so pleased when I tell them that you finally got yourself a boyfriend." 

I gulp, this is what I was afraid of. Oh god, why me? Before I can answer him he goes away. I quickly change into my gym suit which is a half shirt with some small shorts. Oooh, I look good. When I head towards the hall, all the guys stop to look at me. And that's when two guys that are officially my brothers see me and take me to a corner.

"What are you wearing Tris? Do you even know how everyone was looking at you?!" Zeke whisper-yells. I try to sound as if nothing happened.  

"What do you mean? oh you mean my clothes, well its called a gym suit if you don't know now leave my hand, I am getting late for class!" They look at me as if I was dauntless cake and they are going to eat me at any second. 

After few seconds, Uriah finally says, "here, wear these pants under those shorts and where that jacket over your shirt." I roll my eyes but take the clothes and change into them. 

*TIME SKIP - LUNCH BREAK*

I am sitting on a table between my brothers sitting right beside their respective dates, Marlene and Shauna. I look at my brothers who are laughing at some kind of joke. Now the thoughts start making way into my mind. 

What if Four really told them about Jake? What if they really believed him and killed me before I could give an explanation? Will they even be there at my funeral? Oh my god I am gonna lose my mind! I was still lost deep in my thoughts when a hand waves me to reality. I look up to see a worried Zeke and Uriah looking at me with pity. 

"Is everything okay Tris? Did someone say anything to you? Tell me who it is and I will break their nose!" Zeke and Uriah say in unison then start laughing at themselves. I also allow myself a little laugh. Christina would have laughed a lot at this. Where is she anyway?

"Guys-party-tonight-whole-school-invited!" she screams while trying to catch her breath. Oh great! Speak of the devil and the devil appears. Why did I speak about her? Now I have to go to a party.
