Dauntless High

Surprise?

Tris' POV:
The next day I get up and put on a electric blue top with a jean skirt. I put on my regular shoes and put my hair in a ponytail like always. I've never gone to school without a ponytail. I wonder what Four would think if he saw me. Wait what???
Anyways, I drive to pick up Christina. We are early again so we decide to go to Starbucks. We walk in and take our usual drinks, Mocha, and sit in the same spot as always. After a couple of minutes we see Four walk in with Uriah, Zeke, and...Will??? They never hung out with Will...
"Wow, we really need to stop coming here." Christina says loud enough so they can hear and I roll my eyes at her.
They walk up to us and then all the boys look at each other and Will says
"Hey Christina, I know you like me. So I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?"
"Um o-" Christina starts but then Will cuts her off by saying
"Ok that's great."
"And I already know that Christina is sooo stubborn that she will make Tris go, so why not have a date for Tris. Tris, do you want to go with me?" Four asks me. I'm so surprised but I end up nodding my head.
They look at each other again and walk away and leave.
"Eeeeekk!!!!" Christina yells "I knew you guys were gonna end up together. You guys are my new ship. I will call you FourTris."
"Yeah yeah yeah, what creeps me out is that they knew where we would be, and at what time." I say and then shrug my shoulders.
Once I get to school we pass through the whole day together. I end up sitting with my besties Lynn, Shauna, and Christina. Something is different though. Christina has a look of worry in her eyes.
"Spill." Lynn tells Christina
"What? I'm not hiding anything." She lies
"Girl, do you think I'm dumb? We've been best friends for ever and I know when your hiding something. For example, your eyes look like they might explode, your hands are sweaty, you keep on looking at random places, and your leg is twitching." I say and she looks surprised.
"Well, you all know that Four asked Tris to the dance. Well, remember Lauren? She got suspended like a million times. Four's girlfriend. Or ex-girlfriend. Or I don't even know. Yeah, her. She's back and she's looking for Four. Don't worry Tris, Four has been hiding in the boys bathroom, Will told me, but what if she finds him???" Christina finally says
"Christina, this is your first 'What if' that actually might happen. Your usual 'what if' are sooo crazy. But back to the subject, I'm sure Four wouldn't do so etching like...that." Shauna says.
"Thanks guys." I say and hug them
"WE LOVE YOU!!!" They shout and everyone looks at us.
Great. Because I love the limelight. Note the sarcasm.
After lunch is over, school eventually ends and I go to my next bike class I'm kind of excited but kind of worried. Four probably went to hang out with Lauren...
STOP!!! Why do you keep being negative? Lauren hates you...why do you care. Tris, your mind is like a garden. Your thoughts are like seeds, you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds. Stay strong. It never rains forever. And if it does, then you have to dance in the rain.
I think this while parking in front of the store. I hear a man scream.
"You can't keep on doing this!!!! Your going to get fired!!!" The man says and then storms out of the store. I get scared and speed walk inside and see Four on the counter looking super mad and confused. He sees me and acts like nothing happened.
"Umm... I can go..." I say.
"No, it's fine, just my dad. He gets mad a lot..." He responds. Then continues " let's start the lessons.
We grab the bike and start the lessons. We stop and take a 10 minute break. I can tell that something is really bothering Four and I'm getting really worried about him and his dad.
"What's wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" I ask him
"My dad, he gets mad at me. And he's tried to beat me before." He say. Tears threatening to spill
"Hey, it's ok." I say "okay?"
"Okay." He responds and we skip lessons.
