And Then I changed.

Four

It´s lunch now. We are all gather around the big oak tree in the corner of the parking lot. It has a picnic table under its crown and there we always sits for lunch. I, Zeke and Will are waiting for the rest of them when I get a look back to the corner of the parking lot where the druggies use to smoke. Among their colorful hairstyles a blonde head stick out. I look with big eyes as she gives Molly something and in return she gets another packet. She is just about to walk away when Molly says something and Tris turns around again. They talk for a moment and then my eyes pop out as Tris sits down in the smoke of the druggies

“Is that Tris?” Will asks as they see where I look

“I think so..”

“Dude… do you know what´s wrong with her?”

“Wrong with who?” a light and soft voice asks and when we look up Marlene and the rest of the gang stands there

“With Tris” Zeke says and points toward her. A gasp comes from one of the girl

“What is she doing there?!” Christina yells. In the same moment I see Tris accept a cigarette of some kind from Myra, a friend to Molly. She accepts it and inhale it dangerous contents. I keep staring at her. I want to go over there yank her from the dangerous path she is starting to walk down. But I don´t. I just stare and so does everyone else.

The lunch is over and we are slowly making our ways towards our lockers. I look back at the girl I once knew and sees that she is gone, and so is the rest of them. I quickly wonder where she went but I fills with relief as I see her in front of her locker. She picks out her things and turns around

“Hi..” I say and she quickly look up. her once happy eyes are dull and sad. I wonder what´s happened

“Are you alright?” I ask when she doesn’t greet me back

“Yeah.. I just… need to go..” she says as she picks up her bag. From her bag a packet falls out. It’s a packet with mint breaths.

“Do you mind if I take one?” I ask as I bow to pick it up. her panic face tells me everything

“It´s empty”

“Then I will just throw the box away” I say as I start to walk towards the closets bin

“NO!” she screams at me she snatch the box from my hands and run down the hallways. What the hell just happened?

I sit with Christina and Uriah at our last class for today. After the incident in the hallway Tris never went back to class. She skipped the rest of the day and I can´t help but wonder why she isn´t talking to me.

“Have Tris responded to either of your messages?” Christina asks

“No” I say and Uriah just shake his head

“We was supposed to go to the mall..”

“I wouldn´t count on it” a boy behind us says. We all turn around

“Why not?” Chris asks the boy

“She is going to be out of town”

“How do you know that?” I ask

“I just do…”

“Tell us what you know” Uriah demanded

“You know party a couple of night ago? That you and your brother had?” he says

“Yeah?”

“She slept with Edward and Peter at it” What? She wouldn´t do that! She wouldn´t cheat on me

“You lying!” Christina shout and got a angry glare from our teacher

“Do I?”

The bells rings signaling the end of the day. As usually we gather at our picnic table and wait to everyone to arrive. I´m pacing.

“Four, calm down, she didn´t do it” Uriah tells me

“Do what?” Lynn asks as they all sits down

“sleep with Edward and Peter”

“Who did that?” Shauna asks with a disgusted face

“The rumors says Tris did it at the party” Christina clarify

“What?!” They all scream

“She wouldn´t do that!” Zeke says

“She loves you Four” Marlene says but they all have skeptical looks on their faces.
