Second Chance

Chapter 12

I went to the door and opened it to reveal Max and Eric at the door. I sighed at them and said,

"What do you want?"

"Well, aren't we the morning person?" Max said with a grin.

"Four, who's at the door?" I heard Tris ask from my bed.

I turned to look at her and then back to Max and Eric. Max gave me this look like are you for real and Eric just looked at me, shocked. I turned to Tris and said,

"Don't worry about it. Go back to sleep. I will be right back."

I pushed the two men back from my door and stepped out. I closed the door behind me so that I would not disturb Tris. I turned to me, faced with Max giving me a smile and Eric just shaking his head.

"What?" I asked, getting irritated.

"Stiff, really?" Eric spoke up first.

"It's not what you think." That was the only thing I could think about.

I didn't know what was going on between us. I know that I liked her and wanted her to be mine, but I was unsure if she would accept me for who I am. It's hard to have a relationship with someone when you don't tell them the truth about yourself.

"Four!" Max snapped his fingers in my face.

I got out of my thoughts and looked at them, shocked. I did not know what they were thinking. I was pretty good at reading people, but this was one of those days when my head only thought about Tris. She came into my thoughts constantly and clouded my mind. No girl has ever done that to me.

"What is it that you wanted? Or did you just want to judge me on who stays in my room?" I asked, irritated.

"Well, Mr. Grumpy, we came to talk to you about whether you got my email last night. I don't know why he is here." Max said, pointing to Eric.

"I was going to email you this morning. But I think we should wait until spring to do the shooting test so we can do it outside. Eric, why are you here?" I asked, looking at Eric now.

"I wanted to see if my theory was right. And it was." Eric said, walking away from me.

I just shook my head and looked at Max and asked,

"Is that all?"

Max nodded and walked down the tunnel. I went back into the room and heard the shower going. Tris must have not been able to go back to sleep. I sighed and sat down on the end of my bed. I let my thoughts take me over. I didn't even hear Tris talking to me.

I looked up to her and asked,

"What?"

*Tris's POV*

I snickered at Four. You could tell that he had a lot on his mind. I sat down next to him and asked,

"Who was at the door, and what did they want?"

I knew two men were there but did not know who it was. I looked at Four, and he said,

"It was Eric and Max. I don't know what Eric wanted, but Max just asked for an email about class assignments."

I nodded and got up to grab my bag. I looked at Four and saw that he was watching me. That made me blush a little bit. He winked at me when he knew that I caught him staring at me. That made me blush even more. My checks were red hot. I smirked at him evilly and said,

"I will see you in class."

I walked out of his room and went to find Chris and Austin. We all meet up in the pit. I saw Austin was distracted, and I looked at Chris, and she pointed to Lauren. I smirked and walked up behind Austin, and said,
