Dauntless High

Chapter 3: The New Group

The rest of the week goes by pretty fast. I'm on all the teachers good side except Ms Mathews my science teacher, just cause I yelled at Four.

Today is Saturday and I'm invited to Christina's house. Fortunately she lives about a block away so I don't have to use the car. My dad and brother went to go and pick out another car that me and Caleb have to share.

I knock on her door and a girl about 10 years old answers. "Hi is Christina here" I ask.
"Yeah one sec." "CHRISTINA YOUR FRIEND IS HERE!" She shouts.

Right then Christina comes down the stairs and grabs her coat.
"You wanna go out?" She asks
"Sure" I say and follow her to her car.
"I told Will and Al to meet us at Dauntless'."
"Dauntless'?" I say in confusion.
"Yeah it's where everyone hangs out. Oh yeah I forgot they don't have that in Wisconsin."
"Yeah"

We talked the whole way about pretty much everything. Apparently Christina has a gift where she can tell if you are lying or not. So of course I had to test it, and sure enough she does.  

We walk in and look for them but they aren't here yet. "HEY TRIS IS YOUR FACE BETTER!?" someone shouts and I look and see it was Zeke. The whole "popular" group was there. My eyes landed on Four and our eyes locked. He had a dumb smirk on his face and so did the rest of the guys. Then Shauna yelled at Zeke Which I thought was pretty funny. "YEAH THANKS FOR THINKING OF ME" I shout back, and find myself grinning. Then Will and Al walk in and we go and order our food.

"What was that about?" Christina asks. So I tell them the whole story, and when I finished our food came. When I took a bite my eyes got huge. Everyone stared at me grinning.
"This is amazing." I say the last word almost out of breathe. Four and his group were sitting in one corner on a booth and we were sitting in another corner with our group.

Right then Peter and his crew came in. It looked like he had an entourage with Molly on his right and Drew on his left and the funny thing was he still had a black eye. They didn't sit in a booth but right in the middle. Dauntless' is a pretty small restaurant so he saw both of the groups. I slouched in my chair, he will try to kill me.

My friends must of noticed because when Peter looked at us Will flipped him off, and we all started cracking up. Peter could not be humiliated like that so of course he walks over by us.

"Hey there blondey." he says in a taunting tone. I just glare at him with my head low. Then I realize Fours group was watching us too, and it looked like Four is about to jump from his seat. With that Peter grabs my collar and lifts me above the table and throws me on the ground and punches my jar hard and then my eye. Then I see hands grab him and Four punch him in the nose and eye. Then let him go.
"SCRAM!" He shouts and Peter, Molly, and Drew run out of the he restaurant.

"Tris are you alright?" Marlene asks
I knew I couldn't run out of this one but if I talked I knew I would start to cry. So I just sat there holding my face looking down while tears fell.
"Tris?" Christina asks. I could feel everyone starring at me. I nod quickly but I guess that wasn't good enough.
"Can I see it?" Christina says. I don't say anything so she pulls my hand away and tilts my head back. Pretty much everyone gasp. I couldn't see it but I knew my jaw was red and swollen and my eye had a cut on it and was red and swollen too.

"He hit you really hard." says Uriah.
I guess I could run from this just at the right timing. So of course I got up and ran out the door as fast as I could I have no idea where I'm going and I don't know how I'm going to get back but I keep running. I start to slow down and look back to see Four is right behind me. My eyes get so wide and which hurt my eye even more. So I started to sprint and took a turn, when two hands grab me and pick me up. I scream for a second then realized it was Four. He grabs the collar of my shirt and pins me to a clothes store window. I was breathing really fast and staring at him wide eyed.
