Moving to Chicago

Chapter 7

TRIS' POV

On my ride to school I've been thinking about what Four said to me; he is such a good friend to Uriah and he only wants the best for him. I think Four and I could become really good friends.

I jump out of my car and I walk straight to Uriah.

"Can I talk to-" He doesn't even let me finish that he interrupts me.

"Look, Tris, I am so sorry about what happened yesterday, I just want to start all over again and take it slow. Hi, I'm Uriah," he says heading a hand to me.

'It's all about taking risks in life', I say to myself. I smile. "I am Tris, nice to meet you."

-------------------------------------------

Four coughs and we pull apart. Uriah kisses me quickly on the cheek then go, leaving only me and Four here. I blush.

"Hi" I say shyly. "I was thinking that maybe we could be... friends" I say that sounds more like a question.

He looks at me weirdly.
"Nah, I'll pass. We are not friends, you hate me, remember? We just help each other at school, that's all."

I stay quiet. I just don't know what to respond to this.

"Training after school at the football field" he says coldly then turns around and start walking.

"Oh, and bring your boyfriend too" he shouts.

FOUR'S POV

Tris and Uriah finally arrive, walking hand in hand. I want to throw up.

"Okay lovebirds let's start."

When Tris sees me her mouth opens. I wear a black muscle tank that shows my muscles.

"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies" I say winking at her. She turns red and so does Uriah, but more in an angry way. A smirk forms on my face.

"10 laps now!" I shout, kind of in a coach way

When they finish we head to the gym where punching bags are waiting for us. They punch for like 5 minutes and I can see that Tris isn't doing so well, so I stand next to her.

"You're not strong," I say. "You have no muscle"

"That is why I asked for help, you moron" she says. A little laugh escape from my mouth even if I try to stay serious. She continues to punch just as bad as she did earlier. I examine her technique, that seems like a little bit too long because she notices.

"You know, you could stop staring at me and honor your part of the deal."

"I'm not staring" I say quickly, in a cold way.

"Yes you are" she says. She's provoking me.

"I'm examinating"

"It's creepy"

"It's useful. Like that I can see your weaknesses." I move closer and I put my hands on her stomach. She shivers at the touch of my fingers. "Remember to always keep tension here" I say, pull away my hands and turn around to see how Uriah is doing.

He comes to me with fire in his eyes and smoke coming out of his ears. (Not really)

"HOW DARE YOU," he shouts then take a step and push me. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND!"

"In case you forgot I also have a girlfriend" I say in a calm tone. I can't lose control. If I lose it then he's dead. Like no joke.

Then a voice appears behind us.
"Who's talking about me?"
I roll my eyes. Lauren.

I turn around to face her. "What are you doing here?" I ask in an annoying voice.

"Well, I had a super duper idea! Why don't we all go in a double date? I mean Four and I, not Four and Tris." she laughs nervously and I choke.
"Dates are not my thing. Especially double dates."

"I don't know if it's a good idea" Tris says looking at me then Uriah.

"Perfect!" Lauren exclaims.
"Then it's official. 8 pm. My house." I sigh.

She finally goes away but before she reaches the door she yells "Oh and Four, take a shower, you smell like crap."
