Agent Tris

Regrets and clothing

Chapter Four-Regrets and Clothing

For the duration of free period I sit outside, listening to my music and mostly being miserable. When the bell goes I decide I should eat something. When I walk into the dining room every stares at me.

"TALLY!!" I put my finger on my hearing aid to turn it on and I hear Tori's voice immediately, she's sitting at the teachers table, our eyes meet as she speaks to me.

What am I going to do with you Tris? She whispers into my earpiece.

'Im sorry' I mouth at her, she just shakes her head and looks away. Can I not even make it through one day at school?

As everyone around me cheers, Four stands glaring at me, arms crossed. This isn't me, I'm not bubbly, I don't wear dresses or have red hair, and he knows it.

I walk out the school gates alone that day, but within meters of me leaving the gate, a motorcycle pulls in next to me. It's Four.

"Get on, I live next door to you."

"Stalker." I whisper as I wrap my arms round him, he grabs my hand and looks at me over his shoulder.

"What was that Tally?" His voice is deadly quiet. Time to be Tris.

"I said. Stalker." He chuckles a little and lets my hands connect around his waist.

"You might wanna hold tighter than that." He says, I take his advice as we zoom off, neither of us wearing helmets. I press my forehead into his back, half because of scared, and half because I want my wig to stay on. I feel Four chuckle underneath my grip.

"Tally..we've stopped." I carefully let go of him, he climbs off the bike and helps me off, me making sure my dress doesn't fly up. He turns to go towards his house and I do the same, I doesn't seem like a goodbye is going to happen.

"Hey Tally?" I turn back to face him. "Can I drive you to school tomorrow?" I nod and once again as I turn away he speaks.

"Dress like yourself tomorrow Tally." I spin round suddenly.

"What do you mean?" I spit.

"You know exactly what I mean, this," he gestures to my clothes. "Isn't you, only one day with you and I can tell."
Without another word he goes inside his house, I can hear young children inside as I sadly go into my empty house. I know Tori won't be visiting me tonight, not when she's cross with me. I punch the wall with a frustrated scream and stomp up to my bedroom. Dumping my bag by the door I glance out my window to see Fours bedroom window just a few inches out of reach, our houses are pretty close. I look out my bathroom window and can see him and three young children playing in the garden, it makes me miss Caleb.

I'm broken from my thoughts by a knock on the door, I walk down slowly, a knife in my hand, man I so wish I could use it on two of the three people at the door.

"Hey Theo, Miles, Shai." I say and let them in.

"Agent Prior." Theo says with a small nod of his head.

"Your here because?" I ask, not attempting to be polite.

"New rules Miss Prior, we have to issue you a new card and you must carry it at all times, along with a gun." I nod and Shai passes me a small black handgun with some bullets and the safety on and Miles passes me a white plastic card with the CIA stamp and markings on, along with a picture of me and all my information and my level, 1, the best an agent can be. I have access to whatever, whenever. I give them a half hearted smile and they leave. For the rest of the evening I sit alone and watch TV.
