Divergent High

Chapter 5: Tris

I wake up and I am in the nurses office with a very smug looking Four.

"Why the hell are you here?!" I scream at him and my nose throbs.

"Someone had to take you to the nurses office, you were out cold." he replies stifling a laugh.

"Well I am here now, so... GO AWAY!" I scream at him.

"Sorry no can do, the nurse told me to watch you while she went to the bathroom."

"So you decide to actually follow the rules? Four, you could be making out with you girlfriend right now, but your watching me, you weirdo."

"Well two things, I don't have girlfriends, I have hook ups, and I am a little scared to talk to her after accidentally saying she sounded like a dieing whale and hitting her in the stomach all in one day." he says laughing and I can't help but laugh too.

"Hey, can you grab me an ice pack?" I ask. My nose is still throbbing with pain.

"Sure." he says and grabs an ice pack and tosses it too me, and it lands on my nose.

"You ass!" I yell and put my hand on my most likely broken nose the I remember something, "This better not screw up my Cheerleading tryouts!"

"Sorry and I wouldn't worry if I was you, your pretty flexible." he says and the door opens and the nurse appears.

"Okay, thank you, you may leave." she says to Four who leaves. She comes over to me and checks out my nose. When she is done she finally speaks to me.

"Your nose is fine, just badly bruised."

"Can I try out for Cheer?"

"Yeah, that should be fine, just be careful."

"Thanks, can I leave?"

"Yep, have fun at try outs!"

"Bye."

I walk to my locker and see Christina waiting there for me.

"Where have you been?"

"Nurses office." I say and then she realizes my nose.

"Gym?"

"Yup!"

"Four?"

"You're so smart!" I say and pat her head and she swats my hand away.

"Ready for tryouts?"

"Heck yeah!"

We walk out to the field where the coach is waiting.

"Hello ladies, glad to have you try out again this year." She says and smiles. Then she goes through the routine and she calls us all up one by one. Lastly she calls my name, lucky me the football players are coming out to the field for tryouts, an audience, yippee. Sarcasm included.

I go up in front of the coach and start with two cartwheels. Then I do a round off back handspring, followed my an air toe touch, then finishing with a backflip landing in the splits.

All the boys are staring at me and the girls have their jaws dropped. I take that back, the boys, minus Four are staring, and all the girls but Christina and Mar have their jaws dropped.

"Well, looks like we have our new cheer captain!"

"What?!" Nita shouts from the other girls. Then I hear a voice behind me that shocks me.

"I bet Nita wasn't even that good." Four says, but I think he was thinking out loud. We all raise our eyebrows at him and then he realized what he said. Nita storms off the bleachers a d starts to chase Four, well tries to chase Four I hold her back.

"RUN FOUR!" Everyone shouts and he breaks out into a sprint. After 5 seconds I let go and Nita chases after him.
