Tris's POV:

Tryouts for track were great yesterday afternoon. I came in first for the mile run. When I walked into school this morning they had posted the list for everyone on this years track team. Christina, Shauna and I all made it. This afternoon I am trying out for the soccer team. I have track practice on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Wednesday mornings. If I make the soccer team I will have soccer practice on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and Friday mornings. I am going to be spending a lot of time on the field.

At lunch we mostly talk about what we are going to do at Zeke and Uriah's house tomorrow. In history I sit next to Four at a two person desk in the middle of the room. We haven't really gotten a chance to talk since yesterday before tryouts. I pay attention to Mr. Amar who is talking about the United States. With about five minutes left of class he announces that we have been put in pairs for an outside of school project.

"You will be working with the person you are sitting with now on a report of what we talked about today. The project is due next Friday," announced Mr. Amar.

Four smiles at me. "So we're partners," he says.

"Yup," I reply while smiling.

"Do you want to work at your house?" he asks.

The smile is wiped off my face almost as quickly as it had come. I can't have him over my house or he would find out who I really am. My sudden nervousness must have shown because he quickly says, "Or we could go to my place."

"Ya, could we work at your place? My grandma is sick and I wouldn't want her to get you sick too," I lie. I hope he won't ask too many questions.

"Sure. You can come over today. We can walk to my house together after tryouts. It's a really nice day," he offers. Then we exchange phone numbers in case we need to get in touch and the bell rings signaling the end of class.

Four's POV:

In history class we were assigned partners for an out of school project. Who do I end up with? Tris!

"This is great!" I think to myself. I will finally get to learn more about her without all of our other friends around. When Mr. Amar is finished talking I turn and smile at Tris.

"So we're partners," I say. I hope she is as happy with this arrangement as I am.

"Yup!" She replies, smiling at me. God she has a gorgeous smile.

"Snap out of it Four! You only just met the girl yesterday!" I scold myself. But I can't control the way I feel and right now, I know I have a major crush on her.

"Do you want to work at your house?" I ask politely. I immediately know I've said the wrong thing when that beautiful smile is replaced by an uncertain, nervous look.

"Or we could go to my place!" I ammend quickly. Nice save.

She relaxes slightly. "Ya, could we work at your place? My grandma is sick and I wouldn't want her to get you sick too," she lies.

I know she is lying by the way she bites her lip and is playing with her bracelet but I don't push her to tell me whatever is bothering her. I really would like to know what she is hiding, but we've all got our secrets. If she want to tell me she will eventually.

I invite her to come over after tryouts. We'll meet outside of the girls locker room and walk to my house. My dad is away in Florida on a business trip. He is the CEO of a company that makes soda. It is really annoying because people who know i am his son follow me around and try to get me to give them the secret ingredient for the soda. I don't even know the secret ingredient and my father would never tell me if i asked him. He won't be back for two weeks so I don't have to worry about him coming home while Tris is over. We trade cell phone numbers and the bell rings, so we walk together to gym.
