Tris POV

The next day is just as boring as the day before, I can't wait to graduate and leave this school. "Ms prior!" My literature teacher says. I snap out of my thoughts and look at the board. "Would you like to share your answer?" She asks. I gulp. "Um.... Pro..noun?" I say more of a question then a for sure answer. "Correct." She says. She kinda looks upset that I got that right. I smirk to myself and Shauna elbows me with a grin.

The bell rings and we all walk to lunch when we hear grunting and yelling from the end of the hallway, I'm walking with Shauna and Christina. We all go run to see what's happening. That's when we see tobias and some boy wrestling in the ground. "Four!" I scream but he doesn't acknowledge me. He throws a punch at the boys face and it will for sure leave a mark. Tobias's shirt is ripped a bit and there's a purple bruise on his jaw, and looks like there's a start of a black eye.

"Four stop!" I scream. The girls left, probably to get help. The boy whispers something to Tobias and that earns him a kick in the ribs. I can tell that they are talking back and forth but I cant hear them, suddenly zeke runs up to me, places a hand on my shoulder and looks horrified at what's in front of him.

"What's going on?" I ask completely confused on why this is happening. "They were glaring and bickering this morning in the parking lot after you and Shauna walked in together." He says. I'm still surprised that someone hasn't come to break it up. "What were they arguing about?" I ask him. I hear Tobias groan in pain and all though I'm a bit pissed that he's fighting in the middle of school, I still feel bad for him.

"I'm not sure, Uriah and I tried not to listen in. But I know that it started when that guy said something to four and he just blew up!" Zeke says. "Hey!! Break it up!" A man's voice calls out. I turn around to see the coach walking up to us. Oh no, the coach could totally do something about his big game. Tobias stands up and backs away from the boy, they both look bruised and battered.

"Eaton! My office!" Coach yells. Tobias huffs and walks off, the other boy stands and I guess was instructed to go to the principal's office. "Lets go." Zeke says pulling me in the direction of the lunch room, we see Shauna, Christina, and now Marlene and Uriah standing waiting for us. We keep walking but I glance back, what could have made Tobias that mad? What pushed him so far that he had a full blown fight at school??
