Will we work ????

Chapter 4

Tobias POV

I'm sitting in my 2nd period, Law studies. Apparently-or should I say sadly,  Lauren is in 2nd and 3rd periods of my 1st block of classes with me. Such a misfortune. She keeps trying to flirt with me. Even though she knows I'm taken. She literally chose to sit beside me and like I said, she annoys the crap outta me. When I first came to this school, I thought she was a good person and made the biggest mistake of my life my giving her number. And I have her number too. So I used that to my advantage and blocked her from my phone. Now she can't call me or text me anymore. I did it yesterday because of that incident and I'm still mad at her. Now I don't have to switch of my phone before coming to Law studies or Economical studies. She apparently doesn't know this yet. Why did she come to Law and Economical studies anyway? Maybe because I'm in these classes or something. How does she know? Of course, the principal is her daddy. 

Maybe after High School, I can finally part ways with her. And she won't bother me anymore. Then I can live with Tris in peace. Hopefully. The bell rings and it's time for 3rd period. I walk out the door with Lauren trailing behind me. Argh! why won't she leave me alone?! 

"Hey Four, eager for next class?" She asks while batting her eyelashes. 

"No, I'm not." I say harshly.

"Why?" She asks. 

"Because you're there. And wherever you are is hell for me." I say and pick up my pace.

xXx

Phew, 3rd period is finally over. Now I get to see Tris for the rest of the day. I enter Music and Tris smiles her beautiful smile at me. Finally, I get a break from Lauren. I sit beside her and lean in for a kiss. She pushes me away, blushing. So cute! 

"Not here." She says. 

"Huh, seriously. Lauren was annoying the hell out of me." I say, gripping my hair out of frustration. 

She gently rubs the back of my neck. This simple gesture cools me down. Ms. Wu comes in and starts lesson. 

xXx

When we walk to lunch, I notice that all the guys who pass by us are glaring at me, or more at my hand, which is around Tris's waist. Great, now I have competition. Whatever, she's mine. Mine I tell you! We sit at our usual table. Suddenly, Uriah pops out of nowhere and winks at Tris and nods to me. 

"Hey, hey, Tris! We're partners forever!" He says. What's that supposed to mean?

"Not forever Uriah, only until after high school. " Tris says.

"What'd you mean?" I ask.

"Our teacher in Art said that from now on, if there's any project or pairwork in Art, we'd have to do it with the same person we worked with in the recent Art project. If it's groupwork, then some guy named Eric would join us to make it a group of 3" Uriah says to me. I don't even know why I'm getting jealous of this. But it's the same thing, what if they take my Tris away from me?

"And now we have to do a group work." He says and I feel even worse. 

"Right." is all I say. I don't feel like eating right now. So I get up and go somewhere.
