I wince at the name of Andrews last name but then realise it wasn't directed at me.

Wait, his last name is Prior? What a coincidence.

I put my hand out for Caleb to shake and take notice of his slumped posture and shy personality as he timidly shakes my hand.

"Hi, i'm Beatris, but call me Tris." He looks up and smiles.

"Hi, Tris, i'm Caleb, nice to meet you." He says in a formal manner.

"Okay Caleb, just follow me and i'll show you around school." I turn towords the door and head out the Main Office, peering back to see if he is following.

We start to walk side by side and I show him all around campus, I find out that he is interested in Science and he loves to read, so I decide that next I will show him the library.

As I open the two mahogany doors an audible gasp comes from Caleb and a smile makes its way onto his face as his eyes wonder the room in amazement. I lead him down the stairway and show him each section of the library.

Beeeeep

The bell for lunch goes off and I turn to Caleb as if telling him to follow me. He looks at me then the books and says.

"Tris, i'll meet you at fourth period, I know where it is but I just want to stay in here for a while." I just nod and turn towords the door and head to lunch to catch up with Dalin.

As I open the cafeteria doors I instantly spot Dalin in the far right hand corner and walk over to him.

"Hey." I say as take a seat next to him.

"Hey, so what's the new kid like?" He asks and turns his body so he is fully facing me, and I gasp.

"Dalin, what the fuck happened to your face!" I ask exasperated as I look at the big ugly bruise at the edge of his jaw.

I place my hand gently onto the bruise and a harsh wince causes me to quickly retract my hand. I firmly place it on the other side of his jaw and tilt his head up so I can see if clearer.

Holy. Sugarpuffs.

"Tris." I look towords Dalin but see he's frozen on the spot. He never calls me Tris.

"Tris." The voice calls again, I swivel around in my seat to face a bloody knuckled Four.

Wait. Bloody knuckles.

"You!" I state in an accusing voice, with my pointed finger pressed against his chest.

"What the hell did you do to him!" He only smirks and takes a step closer to me.

"I said. What. The fuck. Did you do to him?" I get out in jagged breaths. Fours face suddenly becomes red and he grabs ahold of my wrist and drags me away from the mound of curious eyes, into the hallway.

He paces back and forth in the corridor tugging at his brown locks, he looks towords me with a pained expression.

"Tris, I don't know how long I can do this for, I chase after you but the end result is you getting further away from me! Why won't you just accept me. Please?" Four chokes out and I nearly crumble.

Nearly. I am not that easy to fool.

"Because, I know you, I know what you guys are like, you will use me and leave me!" I scream out, does he not think I know about his little game?

"No Tris, you don't know me. You won't allow yourself to know me!" By this time his posture has weakened and he moved closer to me so only an inch separates us.
