Second Chance

Chapter 10

"Just follow me." He said, handing his hand out to me. I took his hand, and he led me down different hallways. Then we got a door. He opened the door and led me in. I looked around and saw that I was in his room.

"Is this your room?" I asked him, looking around.

"Yeah." He said.

"I thought everyone who wasn't a leader had to have a roommate." I said.

"I don't, you see." He said.

"Yeah. I can see." I said.

"So we can hang out here." He said.

"Okay. Thanks, Four, for everything." I said.

"No problem. You might not want to hear this, but how are you?" He asked me.

"The truth? Or the lie?" I asked him.

"Whatever you want to tell me." He said.

"I am not okay. I hurt. I can't believe my father. The one who said he would always be there for me. He wasn't. I just can't believe it." I told him.

"I understand." Is the only thing he said when looking out his window.

"You do. How?" I asked him. I walked over to him. He was taller than me. But not by much.

"A long story. But I kind of don't want to tell. Many down the road, you will figure out." He said.

"Okay. Now what?" I asked him.

"I don't know." He said.

"Okay. Then I am going to do some of my homework." I said.

"I thought you had all that done." He said to me.

"No. I keep pushing faction history. I really should do it." I said.

"Why do you push it off?" He asked me.

"I hate it, and the teacher hates me. I am just passing." I said.

"Do you want me to help you? I am pretty good in faction history." He asked me.

"I would like that." I said, smiling.

"Come over to the bed." He said. We sat on the bed, and he helped me with my faction history.

After that, we just relaxed in his room. It was getting late. He went to the bathroom and came out topless.

"You can take the bed. I will take the floor." He said.

"I can just go." I said.

"No. It's cool." He said. Then he made a bed on the floor. I then got comfy in his bed and fell asleep.

I woke up hearing something at the door. I opened my eyes to realize I was not in my room. I was in Four's room.

Then the door opened to see Lauren standing there with Chris and the one person I didn't want to see in someone's room. I saw my mother.

"Told you she would be in here." Lauren said to Chris.

"I don't know how you know, but you were right." Chris said, looking at me.

I just lay in Four's bed, pretending to be still asleep. I then heard Four wake up. He let go of my hand. I didn't even know he had my hand.

"What may I be the pleas to see you ladies this morning?" He asked them nicely. If my mother was not with them. He would have to get them out or something.

"Tris' mother was looking for her. So why don't you wake your girl up? And let's do it PG 13. Her mother is standing here." Lauren said.

He just glared at Lauren for that comment. I am not his girl. He has not asked me out or anything. He doesn't even like me.
