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

Like the Plague

Is he making this up? Is he playing some kind of game, either that or he is more of a coward than I thought? I don't know what to think anymore. Can I believe anything he is saying?

I'm still standing in front of him looking past his shoulder.

"Say something, Tris. Anything. Say... say that you hate me. Say that you never want to speak to me again. I promise to leave you alone, just say the word.

My mouth keeps opening but nothing comes out. My eyes start to dart around the school looking everywhere but him. "I... I... I need some space." I say starting to walk away from him.

"Tris wait." He says from behind, grabbing my hand. Tingles shoot up my arm but they are dull, barley there like any feeling I had for him.

"No Four I'm not going to wait. I have spent my entire life doing what others had told me I've never had the freedom to make my own choices. Now I do. I can do what I want to do, and I am not going to let you ruin that. I want to be my own person now and I need you to let me do that. You have criticized me betrayed and hurt me so much... I don't trust you... and I honestly don't want to. I have people who care about me now they know everything about my past and never once have I seen them look at me with pity. Please just let me be happy Four, I want to be happy." My voice rises with emotion on the last sentence. And I walk away.

I walk back to Aiden. All three boys look at me as I sit down but I avoid eye contact like the plague. Aiden opens his mouth to say something but the lunch bell rings. Talk about being saved by the bell.

We sit in the back of the bus that brings us to the dauntless building. I still refuse to talk to anybody but Aiden doesn't push, instead he wraps an arm around me and I lean into him thankful for his understanding.

The bus stops but not at dauntless.

"What's going on?" I whisper to Aiden.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." He says, looking around.

We are in the middle so we don't have a very good view of the driver but I see his face in the mirror up front. He is completely calm. To calm for my liking. "Same." I whisper.

The front doors swings open and a masked man walks in the bus. If he has a gun it's concealed. A couple people murmur but most of stay completely still. I feel Aiden tense which make me even more on edge. I have the aisle seat because I wanted more space but I'm starting to regret my decision. Squeezing Aiden's had tighter I keep my gaze forward trying not to attract attention. Four's on the bus but hasn't done anything, probably still assessing the situation. There is something about this man, the way he walks and stands, that makes shivers run down my back. Is it someone from dauntless are they testing us. Is that why he seems familiar and Four isn't doing anything.

He continues to walk down the aisle. He stops right next to me and I can feel his body heat he's so close and it make me want to gag. Slowly his head turns towards me and I have an uncontrollable urge to look up. When I do I see those gray eyes so much like mine and I scream.
