Chapter 26

******FLASHBACK-- TUESDAY, AFTER SCHOOL*********

"Someone please explain how those three know about this?" I asked gesturing towards Uriah, Zeke, and Will. Shuana and Marlene shot pointed looks at Christina, who looked at me sheepishly.

"Right." I say, of course she had told them. " So now Four is the only one who dosent know. Great. that'll make it easier to tell him." I say rolling my eyes.

"Probably not." Chris answers honestly. "But what will help is knowing who it is sending the notes."

"Actaully,Thats just going to give him the target. Then he will just know who he wants to kill." Uriah said.

"You are not helping. Just be quiet, so whoever it is dosent figure out we're here before we find them."

The 7 of us are currently sitting in what sort of resembles a circle, on the floor in the school hallway. Basically everyone else has left the school besides a few staff members. We are around the corner of the hall where My locker is. E said in the note I got in my locker yesterday, They would be leaving something in there everyday after school or a whole week. We figure, wait after school until the person shows up. Then we know who it is.

"Guys quiet I hear someone over there." I Said, Stading quietly and walking over to peer around the corner.

"What the hell?" I whisper- mostly to myself.

"who is it?" I hear one of my friends say.

"Scott." Saying that one word sent everyone practically into madness. The girls exploded with questions, and the guys charged around the corner. Scott saw them coming and looked scared, then ran the other direction. I expected them to run after him, but they stopped at my locker and pulled out a black box left inside. I went over, raking it out of their hands, and open it to find a necklace, with a heart on the end.

"Well, now what?" Uri asked.

"Tomorrow, I tell Four. And Try to convinve him not to kill his cousin." I say.

PRESENT-- THE NEXT DAY AT LUNCH.

The tension surrounding our lunch table was heavy, and becoming unbearable. Everyone was extreamly awkward. Me, because I hadnt told Tobias yet. Scott, becuase we had found out it was him, and Hadnt spoken to him about it yet. Tobias, because he was completely unaware of the situation. And everyone else, because they felt like they knew more than they should.

"Um, does someone want to fill me in on whats going on? Whats wrong with everyone?" Tobias asked

"I'll tell you." Scott said casually. Nope, no he is the last person who should explain the situation. I see him open his mouth to continue and I frantically say,

"T-Four I can Talk to you for a second" I stand up and grab his hand. Pulling him out of the cafeteria. The huge double-doors slam behind us and I look around to see the hallway compeletly empty.

I must look really nervous because Tobias asks if Im okay, and he looks worried.

"Yeah, I just need to tell you something. I was going to tell you after school today. Actually Im not sure how to start so..." I trail off as I look through my purse for the original note. He reads it carefully, then looks at me.

"what the hell is this"

"It was left in my locker Monday. I talked to the girlas about it that night, and Christina, of course, told the guys. Yesterday after school, we waited to see who it was. It was Scott." I told him. And he looked pissed.

"and why, did you feel the need to keep me in the dark about this? Why didnt you tell me?" He spoke calmly. It surprised me how calm he was.

"I knew you'd be pissed." I said simply. At that moment Scott came bursting through the door. In a swift movement, Tobias fist had collided with his face.

"You're right Tris. I was pissed. Im better now." He says. I just stare at him.

"It wasnt. me." Scott struggles to speak at first. " I was the one who placed everything in your locker, but im not the sender. I swear. I would never do that to Tobias."

He seemed completely sincere. "How do I know thats true?" I ask him.

He sighed. " Okay I admit, when I first came here, I did like you- Tobias dont get so tense and wait for me to finish-anyone can see you're beautiful and funny and-" He cleared his throat."Anyway, when i found out you two were dating I backed off. I kept my distance and madde a few other friends at this school. One of them made me help him by putting everything in your locker, so he wouldnt get caught."

"and that person was?' Tobias asked him.

"It was Al."
