Al and Tris?

Tris's pov
I walk Into the lunchroom, and sit with Katniss and Gem. They both have boyfriends and are telling each other cute things about the others. When they see me they ask me if I saw the ms. Matthews video. That teacher hates me, but I hadn't seen any video. They showed me and I fell out of my seat laughing. They showed me the remix, and it was even more funny! I wonder who made it! All of a sudden, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Al! I smiled at him,"Hey Al! Wassup?" I ask. "Well, I was wondering if you would errr... Be my girlfriend." He says. "Yes!" I exclaim. From the corner of my eye I see Four look at me, dissapointed and saddened. He got up and left. Maybe he felt something for me! We were best friends, and I liked him a lot. But I never told him. Now I have a boyfriend. And he looks kinda sad. Al sits next to me and we hold hands and smile at each other. Maybe I do love him.... But I love Four. I shake that thought out of my head. The girls are ooooing and ahhhing at us. The bell rings and me and him rush off hand in hand to class. After school I'll have to talk with four.

Four's pov
She has a boyfriend. We have been bestfriends since preschool, and since kindergarten. I'd loved her. I remember it like it was yesterday. The teacher told us to choose partners. Me and Tris ran to each other. I hadn't felt much for her love-wise, I thought of her only as a friend. We were given the project to create a story and share it with the class. (No writing) We wanted to make an adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, romance movie. We wanted to base the main characters off of us. We named them Tristen and Toby. (Back then everyone called me Tobias) They did a lot of fighting, and saving and then they had to fall in love during that. After sharing are story, we had to act it out. We had fun pretending to fight and save people. But then in the end we had to pretend to fall in love. I swept her off her feet and picked her up. I squeezed her hand, and leaned in. When I looked into those eyes, I realized I was in love with her. I felt like she was in love too, cuz she leaned in when I paused to stare at her. She pressed her lips against mine. And I kissed back. The teacher pulled us apart and said that we didn't have to act out that part. Ever since that day I've loved her. But now she has a boyfriend. I'm in the trash. She doesn't love me. The tears fall out, uncontrolled, freely. I run to the locker-room and sunk down to the floor. I burst into tears. She will never love me. I spend the rest of the day, crying. When the last bell rings, I walk out an look down I get into my car and wait for Tris. She hops in and notices my sad eyes. "I'm sorry." She says under her breath. "I though you didn't like me! I thought you could never love me, so why don't I just let this happen!" She says. "I love you Tris." I whisper. "I love you too. But I love Al too." She answers. We spend the rest of the drive in silence. I drop her off. I go into my room and lock the door. My dad pounds on my door, he abuses me. Today, I just wanna be alone. I can't take anymore pain.
