Villains & Virtue // COMPLETED //

Chapter 4//Satan in Wedges

Four's POV
By the time I make it to the office I'm already 2 minutes late. Swearing under my breath I trod up to the front desk, where a middle aged brunette is staring at her computer.
"Name and Age" she asks not looking up from her computer.
"Tobias Eaton and I'm 18 this year" I state, the realisation dawning on me. I'll be a man in less than a month. Then I can forget about school and work and run my empire with full dedication. Then this nippy woman and the rest of the school will kiss my a$s.

I'm deep in thought when a sharp door slam echoes through the room. I look for the source of the noise and watch as Tris struts through the room to stand next to me. I can hear a click as she pops her gum and continues chewing it. If Satan ever had a child who wore heels and mac lipstick then Tris would be it.
"So Toby, if I try to make conversation are you going to be just as unpleasant as ever?" She asks, neither of us looking each other in the eye. Yet I can feel the smirk she is pulling, echoing through her words.
"Depends whether or not you got a personality transplant over the break" I retort back, willing the nippy woman to come and release me from Tris' clutches.
"I'll take that as a no..", she says, an awkward silence building between us.

After what seemed like an eternity the receptionist came back and handed me my schedule, I snatched it from her hand and hastily made my way to the door. As I left I'm sure I heard a faint giggle from Tris. I swear, her sole purpose on Earth is to irritate me.
Quickly dismissing the past few minutes I check my timetable
Tobias Eaton- Senior
Period 1: homeroom
Period 2: Gym
Period 3: Music
Lunch
Period 4: free period
Period 5: Extension maths
Period 6: Science
Period 7: English
I try to get to homeroom as quickly as possible but I confuse the corridors and end up 2 minutes later than expected. I quickly walk into the room hoping to prevent further embarrassment. But I see everyone staring at me, including the teacher. I quickly replace embarrassment with my usual cockiness and throw one hand into the pocket of my jeans smirking as I walk to the back of the classroom dismissing the teacher's lecture about tardiness and accepting the Saturday detention. The only seat left is next to Tris... wait what?!?How did Tris get here before me?! Anger mixed with annoyance starts to bubble to the surface of my skin. I drop my bag to the floor and slump into the chair beside Tris.
"How did you get here before me?" I immediately question.
"It's called efficiency, maybe you should try it some time", she responds keeping her eyes on her book.
As her eyes reach my face I pull the most obnoxious smirk I can muster and am pleased with her pissed off expression.
"Sorry to disrupt your vegetating time, but we are supposed to be doing work. I don't care if you don't do it, that's your funeral but please grant me the ability to do mine." She states sharply, clearly annoyed.
It's kinda cute how she purses her lips together when she's annoyed.
No, it isn't!! You hate her, she hates you, keep your head in the game man!
I decide to pick up my book and do the work, partially because I want to avoid further confrontation and partially because the voice in my head wants me to listen to her. God, I can't go one day without Tris Prior ruining it.
But I refuse to let it bother me, so for the rest of the day I engross myself in my work, secretly anticipating the heist tonight...

Disclaimer// I don't own divergent, it was written by the amazingly talented Veronica Roth
I hope everyone liked the first few chapters, I'm honestly just writing them for fun so I don't know how long the story will be, it depends how many people read it.
I'm aiming for 10 reads by Chapter 10, I know it's kinda low but I'm new to wattpad so if anyway has any complaints just leave a comment 😋
