Moving to Chicago

Chapter 11

FOUR'S POV
A week later

I walk in the hallway and everyone looks at me. But this time they aren't staring at me with admiration, it's something else. As I walk to my class I see Tris standing at the end of the hallway. She's talking to someone and I walk towards her to convince her to take me and my bad grades back. My body freeze when I see a guy -Uriah- approaching her and kissing her. I just walk to my Science class quietly when something pops in my not-so-intelligent brain, but I have to admit; this idea is the most brilliant thing I have ever came out with.

My original plan to win Tris' trust again was to do my best on that test I am about to take, show her my result and making her realize how well I am doing without her to make her jealous. Not a bad plan for a dumbass like me, uh?

The new and even better plan is to "fail" my test and show her how much I need her to make my grades up. I sigh thinking about how the two hours of studying last night to impress her was for nothing. But it's alright, I guess failing that test to get a girl is worth it, right? I sigh and write my name on that test.

TRIS' POV

As Uriah tells me how boring the other night was without me, Four approaches and stands infront of us. There's a moment of silence until Four finally speaks.

"Hello, Uriah."
"Hi, Four" Uriah says with sweat running down his forehead. "What are you doing here?"

Four smiles and faces me. "I just wanted to show you how well I am doing without your help."

I smile. "I am very glad to hear that."

He shows me his test. A big 'F' is written in red.

"As you can see I am doing very great" he says and walks back to his locker.
I instantly feel bad about myself. "Wait!" I shout.

Uriah looks at me with a strange expression on his face. "Are you really gonna give that guy another shot?" He laughs nervously.

"Yes" is all I say before running to Four. "Wait," I repeat. "Meet me at my house after school." He turns around so I can see a big smile on his face. I can't help but smile too as I walk to my next class.
