Dauntless High

Chapter 11: Cheated

I walk down the hall to my locker, last period is over and it's Friday. Four took me on another date on Thursday and it went really well, Four and I decided to tell the gang at the party. I sling my backpack over my shoulder and walk down the hall alone hoping Peter doesn't see me.

Then I see something I never thought I would see before. Four was making out with Nita. I stop and stare for a moment, thinking it's not him. Then he stops and opens his eyes and looks at Nita. I see his dark blue eyes that I could drown in. Nita looks at me and smiles. Then Four looks at me his face emotionless.

My eyes start to get glassy then I walk away like nothing happened. I start to walk quicker and quicker, the tears threatening to spill over. Finally I get to my new light blue Lamborghini that my dad bought for me on Wednesday. I sit in the drivers seat close my eyes and the tears start to stream down my face.

I drive home quickly, I never turned on the radio or thought anything, I just focused on the rode, something Four never does. Then more tears streamed down my face, this is what I get for thinking.

I finally get home drop my bag at the front door and run to my room. I got home before Caleb because he was probably talking to Cara, he also got a new car, a black Ferrari. I lay on my bed and start to bawl. I've never cried this much in my life.

Why are you doing this it's just a guy
I loved him so much.
You went on two dates and he called your brother a nerd.
How am I suppose to act now.
You should tell Christina she'll give him a beating.
I can't she'll be mad at me for not telling her in the first.
What other choice do you have!?

Suddenly someone knocks on my door.
"Beatrice." It's my brother. I quick sit up and wipe the tears away and pat down my hair, I quickly look in the mirror and it doesn't look like I've been crying. I hide all my emotions from my family so I'm used to doing this.

"Come in!" I say. He walks in and sits next to me.
"You going to the party tonight?" He asks causally. I completely forgot about the party. Suddenly it's to much and I start to bawl again. Caleb gives me a hug and rocks me.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asks me quietly. I tell him everything but it takes like ten minutes cause every time I mention Four I start bawling again, especially at the end.

Caleb just shakes his head.
"Well for starters I would tell Christina everything." he says.
"Really?" I say.
"Yeah, and you should go to that party to show Four he had no effect on you."
"But when I see him I might start to cry." I say. He lifts up my chin and looks me right in the eye.
"You Beatrice Prior whether you know it or not are the strongest girl I know, and I know you won't cry when you see him." He says firmly.
"You know your the best brother in the whole world." I say hugging him.
"Yeah I know." he says.
"Also the cockiest." I say giggling.

I tell Christina everything and she is so mad right know I'm pretty scared of her actually. And it turns out everybody knew we were a thing, because they saw us kiss at Christina's house by the pool. Christina agrees with Caleb that I should go to the party and show Four he didn't have an effect on me.
"Alright I'll pick you up in ten minutes then well go back to my house and get ready." Christina says.

Time lapse

Ten minutes later Christina picks me up and we go to her house.
"I FOUND THE PERFECT DRESS!" Christina shout from inside her walk in closet, which by the way is bigger than her room. She comes out with a beautiful purple dress that had one strap that was covered in fake diamonds.
"Christina it's beautiful!" I say. "Are you really going to let me wear it?" I ask.
"Of course you're going to make Four cry!" She says then starts crying like a baby. I roll my eyes and change.

When I come out Christina gasps.
"You look gorgeous, time for your hair!" She screeches. She pulls me in her bathroom. She pulls out a curling iron and does soft curls. Then put purple eyeshadow with glitter in it on and other party makeup on.
"Perfect!" She squeals. "Lets go to a party, oh yeah and Tris, don't play Truth or Dare."

Time lapse

We arrive at the party and it is the same as last time, alcohol, so crowded that I lose Christina within minutes, and everybody is either drunk or on their way.

I walk to the kitchen and grab a root beer. Then I see him, Four. He's talking to Zeke and then he sees me. His smile fades and he starts to walk toward me, I run as fast as I can but I don't get far because of the crowd.

Four grabs my shoulder and pulls me up the stairs to a quiet room. He looks at me then sighs.
"The only reason I kissed her is she threatened me." he says.
"Why should I believe you, and even if she did how could SHE threaten YOU." I say irritated.
"You don't understand." he says if like in stupid.
"Yes I do dating the new girl is uncool, I'm stupid, and it was a mistake, THIS was a mistake!" I almost shout the last word. All of a sudden tears steamed down my face but my face stays hard.
"That's not the reason and you know that!" He shouts back.
"I don't get it, the only thing a guy wants is to get as many girls to like him as possible but doesn't even care about one girl!" I shout.
"I LOVE YOU AND YOU KNOW THAT! He shouts at the top of his lungs.
"Goodbye Four." I say it so quietly it sounds like a whisper, "and no need to tell the others, they saw us kiss." I say while standing at the door. I walk out of the room and see everyone standing there. Even Uriah who is half drunk.

I walk off to a different room probably a guest room. All of my makeup is smeared so Christina fixes it and I look the same except my eyes are red now.

What have I done? I ask myself.
