Divergent High

Bloody Fucking Nose

Chapter Tobias

Tobias POV

I kneel down to help Tris when I hear a familiar voice behind me. Marcus. "You're really going to help her? After she threw all her spaghetti in your shirt? I guess thats one more hour of whipping. Don't be such a fucking retard." My dad and vice-principal whispers in my ear. I already get whipped 3 hours a day.

I breathe and finally say: "What the fuck is wrong with you, Tris?" I yell at her and I feel so guilty.

Marcus leaves and I try to pick her up but, she looks at me and slaps me. She tries to stand up but she can't. Christina runs over and gives me a glare. She puts Tris' hand on her shoulder and holds her waist. And here I am, looking at them until they go to the nurse's office, not worrying about my stained shirt, my red face... But, l know she's okay. She is brave.

Tris POV

Christina and I walk towards the infirmary. She opens the door and sits me on the chair. I can feel my crop top getting soaked in blood from my nose.

I can't believe Four said that. It wasn't my fault, what was wrong with him? My head hurts intensely and I get dizzy. The nurse comes and she works her magic.

Four POV

I walk to the nurse's office when Christina leaves and I see Tris in a chair with a bandage on her nose and another one in her hand. She looks at me and I can see her eyes go down. "What are you doing here?" She scowls at me and gives me a dirty look. "Tris, look-" l start.

"Just, Four save it. I asked you something." She says softly. I feel so guilty. I need to tell her. "I came because I wanted to see how were you. Look, I'm sorry. Tris, there is not a fucking thing wrong with you. You are a great person and you are right, I shouldn't be here. I was a dick and I just wish I could tell you..." I trail off and the thought of Marcus comes to mind. I have to tell her or we don't have a shot at being friends. "Look, we'll talk in the library." I walk up to her and give her a small weak smile. I can notice she is blushing intensely and I laugh a bit. "Thanks Four, but I'm pretty sure there's a million things wrong with me." She says and her eyes get watery. I look at her worriedly and put my hand on her cheek. "Hey, you haven't showed me a single flaw about you. hope your nose gets better, see you after school." With my hand on her cheek l skim on her cheekbone with my thumb. She smiles widely. I smile and leave the room.

Tris POV

The nurse finally tells me that l can leave her office. My head doesn't hurt anymore but I still need to use a bandage on my nose.

This is fantastic! The first day of school and l already am hurt. My arm doesn't hurt as much, though. Christina told me earlier she would come when the nurse says she's done. She gave me her number and l already texted her. While I think that, the door bursts open and there she is, out of breath. I laugh. "Sorry I'm late. Uriah took my phone and started running. I followed him to the parking lot. God, I swear, I'm going to kill him." she says but then laughs. "Christina," I'm already going to ask her. God, she's gonna be pissed. "Do you like Uriah?" I ask. She turns red and l try and hold my laughter, but I can't anymore. l burst out laughing and my nose hurts so I whimper. "Owie." say childishly. "Bloody fucking nose!" I yell with a brittish accent. She bursts out laughing.

"Hey so, how are you?"She asks. I can tell she is desperate to just change the topic so she won't have to admit that she likes Uriah. She scratches the back of her neck while giving me a fake reassuring smile. I'm going to ask her one more time. "Christina, you didn't answer me." say. "No, I do not like him! He has a girlfriend... Marlene! And, I can't do that to her, plus, he is just psh... So childish." She says but I can tell she likes him. I can see her eyes look down and she loses a bit of confidence.

"Yeah, let's just go." She says sadly.

We walk out of the door and the first thing I remember is him- Four. He was so sweet but, I'm pretty sure what he said will change in a few days I mean, we just met eachother. Yet again, I still think you can get lost just by staring his gorgeous stormy-blue eyes. Keep it together Bea!

The bell rings. I pull out my iPhone from my shorts' pocket and look at the hour. It's 2:30pm. I lost three classes. Oh shit. "Hey Christina, I'll see you later. Today I'm going to the library." Christina nods. We hug and I head to the doors. l suddenly see Four jumping in his cadillac without even opening the door. It's pretty badass how he does it. "Hey Four!" I yell. He looks back and smiles at me. I run to his car, which is parked next to my bike. I lean on the driver's door and say: "Hey, look I'm going to call my mom to see, if she let's me go to the library. I'll tell you if I can go. He nods and stays in his car waiting for me. I take my phone and call my mom.

"Hey mom!" I say.

"Hey sweetheart, what's up?" She asks.

"Well I was wondering if I could go to the library with one of my new friends." I say and look at Four and he is already staring at me. He smiles and I smile back. My mom says I can go but I can't go home late. I say goodbye and put my phone away.

I look at Four and he is still staring at me. Did he ask me something? "Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something?" I ask politely. He smiles and shakes his head.

Then why was he staring at me? I look at myself without him noticing on the side mirrors and see myself. Completely normal. The same ugly girl I've been.

"Look, I'm not from this place in Chicago. I used to live near Abnegation Street. I don't even know how this place is called. So, what do you think if I go on my bike and you follow me so, I can park it on my driveway and then go to the library with you, in your car 'cause, l don't know shit about this place." I say and chuckle.

I say it for two reasons.

1. I want to be in the car with him so I can get to know him better.
2. I have no fucking idea where l'm at.

"Oh, yeah sure! That's great." Four says to me I smile and get on my bike.
