Chapter 11
FOUR POV
After football tryouts I took a shower, after maybe watching tris a little bit as she tried out for cheer. She was amazing.
After I'm finished I meet her in the courtyard and we get on the bus. The whole drive we are talking about the most random things.
We get to our stop and walk to my house so she can touter me, I think this is the first time I have been grateful for my bad grades.
We get to my room and put our books down on the bed and sit.
"So, science, math, or dauntless history?" She asks
"Uh I have a math test this week." I say
"Math it is then." She says
After about the thousandth equation I'm beat. But I don't want her to leave.
I glance at me watch, I have to start dinner like ten minutes ago.
"Hey Tris I'm beat." I say
And she falls back on my bed dramatically "oh thank god!" She exclaims and I laugh
She sits back up and we stare at each other for a while but then her phone rings and she looks down at it.
"I have to go, see you tomorrow." She says and gathers all her stuff up and I show her to the door.
"bye Bea!" I yell using her real name, she glares at me.
"Bye Toby!" She smirks and walks away
I start making dinner, as soon as I'm done I set the table and quickly eat then do the dishes.
I hear Marcus come in a minute later, I walk over and he's holding a beer bottle. Oh great he's drunk.....
He walks over to the table and without a word starts eating.
I clean up the living room and go upstairs to finish my homework.
Which means writing a paper on the meaning of the dauntless symbol. And creating a formula for purple hair die, for science.
After a bit I fall to sleep. I dream of Tris.
I want her to be mine, but there is no way she would like me, ever.

I walk up to the bus stop and see blond hair and I smile.
"Hey Tris." I wave
"Sup Four." She waves back
I'm super happy today, cause last night I didn't get beaten.
"You seem happy." She says and I nod.
"What did you kiss the girl you like." She asks sarcastically
"Not yet." I say in a serous tone
"When I are gonna?" She asks "maybe if you get a girlfriend me and Lynn will be the only ones to pick on!"
"I may never have the courage to kiss her." I shrug and we walk onto the buss
As usual we sit together. It's a silent ride, but a comforting silence.
We walk up to out lockers and get our strategy books out and then meet up with Zeke.
"Do we have like some invisible routine I was unaware of?" Zeke asks and we all laugh.
We sit and class and Max drones on and on about strategy but I can't focus. The on,y thing I can focus on is Tris who is taking notes.
Why do I get so easily distracted by her? Does she like me? Will she ever like me?
So many questions, so many doubts...
