Four's POV:
I awaken to my everyday beating from Marcus and my back is in agonizing pain from last night's and this morning's beating. Pretending to be brave or bold does not get you anywhere in this house he told me cruely it only gets you a worse beating, you cannot try to be something that you aren't... After Marcus finished his "words of wisdom" he walked out proudly, like nothing even happened, like he "taught me a lesson" for "being bad," Its for your own good, he tells me. I get up slow, well slow actually slow does not even come close to describing my speed on how I got up, it was slower than slow. Walking to the shower was a pain the butt... After getting ready for school I ran/crept out the door so the monster wouldn't catch a glimpse of me. Quietly getting into my Chevy, I started it up and drove to school. Gosh I cannot wait for 'karma' they say what goes around comes back around and I sure hope it comes back hard on Marcus. I'm slowly starting to doubt 'karma' but hopefully it's there somewhere in this cold world.
Tris's POV:
I'm ready for school, finally. Makeup, clothes (they look pretty fashionable to me), hair (don't care, it always be looking good), shoes (Js on ma feet)... Everything looks perfect, not too flashy, not too trashy, even Caleb, wow that is like totally a surprise. "Aww, I am so proud of you Caleb," I cooed pinching his cheeks, he slapped my hand away angrily, if looks could kill I would probably be dead... We both got in our cars and drove off to school, Caleb drove a white slug bug and I pulled up to the school in my Range Rover bumping Boom Clap. There were literally no parking spots left at all, except two but the dip sticks on either side of the large parking spot parked so crookedly I wanted to go insane. There were two choices, park just as crooked as them or park in the middle so there is less of a chance for my door getting dinged... Both choices were difficult, my baby does not need to go through that pain, but I could get fined or something for parking in the middle of two whole spots, all well better me than ma bae. Punishment shouldn't be that bad, I mean we are struggling with cars, especially the dingbats that parked... Ergh... Stupid school... Stupid kids... Stupid everything... Today better be worth it I'm already heated and annoyed and school hasn't even started. Good or bad? Well, we will just go skipping in the school pretending that I'm the happiest unicorn on the rainbow, hopefully steam doesn't blow out my ears... I am so freaking pissed. Go in like today is going to be great and happy, because it is, and it will be...
I walk in with a smile and then I trip over a foot. Lauren looks at me laughing hysterically and asks "I'm Lauren, are you new here?" Glaring at her I respond harshly, "You know who I am. Like seriously! I have been going to school with you since... What? Kindergarden?" I brush past her and find Christina. School sucks, Lauren sucks. I wanna go home. Point Blank Period.
My thoughts are killing me... Act cool Tris, who's the boss? Tris is. Who? Tris is! That's when I stumble and lose my balance, my face was close to the ground when a pair of muscular arms wraps around me... "Might wanna be careful there clumsy," He says. I look up to see who caught me and it was the beautiful Tobias. "Thank you. I know I'm beautiful," Tobias says. I roll my eyes and apologize for getting in his way, "I forgot how to walk," I admit. He laughs. Tobias helps me up and walks over with me to Christina and the rest of the squad. "Love birds," Zeke mumbles. "Shut it Pansycake!" Uriah yells loud enough to get a bunch of stares and weird looks. We all laugh hard and walk to our first periods.
Uriah and Zeke are in my class, that's a plus... Well, almost. They sit next to Four and thats a disturbance of peace. The teacher Ms. Wu told us to call her Tori, which is totally legit, to call a teacher by their first name is unheard of, its a first but I can already tell that we are going to get along. Tori gave us a seating arrangement and I was stuck behind Eric and in between Peter and Al, Peter and Al weren't too bad I guess, I really don't know. Four is behind me and in between the Pedrad bros, Zeke and Uriah.
When class starts Four is throwing paperballs at the back of my head and Eric is attempting to flirt with me (it isn't working well because he has to keep turning around. Fifteen minutes into class I turn around to pick up the paperballs, "Here Four I think you dropped something," I say. He reaches his hand out and expects me to put it in his hand while he mumbles "Thanks." I throw the paperballs at his face and reply "No problem, you're welcome. Next time you wanna throw paper at me, aim for Eric but if I feel a paperball hit my head again I will come back there and f***ing punch you in the throat... How does that sound? Good or nah? You're silent? Everybody knew you could talk but silence? Thats new and I like it. Keep it that way." Four scoots his chair back and walks around to me, slamming his fists on my desk. "Four, Tris step outside the classroom please," Tori says and Four and I just stare at her. "Now!" She screams after waiting on us.
Four and I glare at eachother while we sit outside the classroom. "I don't like you, you suck monkey balls," I say. "Nice to know someone loves me. Where did you come up with 'monkey balls' nobody ever says that," Four sarcastically answers back to my nonexsisting question.
