How Does One Simply Forget (Book 2- On the Edge Series)

Friends or Enemies

My life is over. I'm dead. Deceased. A goner. Goodbye.

Mr. Eaton aka Four aka my mortal enemy. I haven't forgotten what he did to me. He led me on, made me believe that someone liked me wanted me, but no, he couldn't have gotten rid of me any faster. The moment he could change my life for the better he sends me away like I was some kind of infectious disease. Well not anymore I am a strong woman now. I am not going to let him bring me down anymore. I won't trust any of them again. I won't let myself trust them again because I know what the end of that road looks like; betrayal.

I won't let them see how hurt I am even after all this time. So I hold my head up and take my seat next to Four, not once even glancing in his direction. I could feel his eyes on me the entire class and I was all too happy when the bell rang allowing me freedom from that suffocating classroom. In the hall I hear someone call my name, I close my eyes and pray that it isn't Four or Peter. Peter wasn't in that class thankfully, I don't think I could have handled them both. Slowly I spin on my heel to face whoever called my name. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it is Aiden.
"You okay? You walked out pretty fast."
"Sorry Aiden," I say as I walk over to him, "I just had to get out of that classroom. That was Four, the guy who betrayed me then sent me away. Practically threw me out of the city."
"No need to apologize, it must be a hard change." He says slinging an arm around my shoulders. A casual non-romantic action for us.
"Yeah well at least I have you to keep me straight this time." I say trying my best to give a smile but it doesn't quite reach my eyes.
"How 'bout all of us Archers (their last name) go somewhere after schools over."
"Where?"
"I dunno. What's good around here?"
"I have no clue I was never allowed to go anywhere, but school, the house, or the store if he needed anything."
"Well we better change that and give you some good memories in this city." He says with all to much enthusiasm, and a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
We arrive at our next class and take our seats next to each other. I see Marlene glaring at me, and Eric smirk when he notices my presence but I don't pay them any attention, I won't give them the satisfaction.
The period goes by with no incident, the next class is the same. Each class has a familiar face but I stay close to Aiden and don't look at any of them too long.
<>Time Lapse to Dauntless Classes<>
"Hello initiates you have all chosen to be apart of the dauntless training program. Here we believe in freedom from fear. In ordinary acts of bravery, in defending those who cannot defend themselves. This will not be an easy A or 4 hours. You will be pushed to your physical, emotional, and mental limit and probably beyond it." A well built muscular man says at the front of the room where everyone who chose dauntless is standing looking up at him. "A-L go with Edward, M-Z go with Four. They will be your lead instructors. Those 18 and up you're allowed to get tattoos and your hair cut and dyed here, but if you do it against your parents blessing they cannot come here and blame us, do you understand?" There is a chorus of murmurs. "I said, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" Everyone shouts 'yes sir', including me and Aiden, but my mind was somewhere else somewhere I've been keeping it from for a year; Four. How could my life get any worse. Four is our instructor, my instructor. Now I have to talk to the jerk.
