Divergent High

Chapter 25

~Four POV~

So far this last week has been terrible. Apparently, Al asked Tris to be her boyfriend because one day he gave Tris flowers and I remember her cheeks flushing into a deep red and a smile lighting up her face. 

So flowers, eh? That's a cheesy way of asking someone to be his girlfriend...

Still, for a moment I felt like she was slipping away from me. Yes, she's been coming to my house to keep tutoring me but she seemed she had her mind somewhere else.  

And I couldn't take it anymore.

The worst part of all is that she was still getting help from me.

~Flashback~

We were at the roof of the school, tuesday I think. They were all given guns and they were ordered to shoot at the targets. I suddenly glanced at Tris' target; empty, no bullets in it. So I left my gun and walked towards her to pull her out of her misery.

"Hold the gun more firmly. It goes a bit up when you shoot due to the impact and that shouldn't happen. And don't bend so forward, stand a bit straighter." I said

She looked at me for a few seconds and then faced the target. She did what I said and the bullet landed on the target near the center. I smirk, impressed at her that she got it the first time. When I realized that there was a smile on my face, I inmediately walked towards my place just when I hear her gasp impressed at what she did. 

~End of flashback~

This mutual help is not working. She is getting more benefit. One day, she will get better at dauntless subject and call of the deal. And what will happen to me? "D"'s on the rest of the exams. What if one day Al asks her to stop tutoring me so she can spend more time with him? Hell to the no.

I still have two more years in this dump.

 Through the weekend, I've talked to Zeke and Uriah. The stupid but sometimes clever twins think that I should make her like me. And for that to happen, I myself have to pretend that I like her. That I want to date her. And that gives me only but shivers. 

So I decided that today was the day; I went for it. After I went to the lockers, I see Tris heading to science. I follow her glancing around to make sure that nobody is paying attention to what I'm doing.

Well, to what I'm about to do.

When she is at an ideal distance in front of me. I wrap my hand around her mouth from behind and the other one around his waist. I thank god she is very very light as I lift her up and carry her towards the janitor's closet. She tries to scream, failing of course. 

Suddenly I feel a bite on my hand and I groan. "Damn it! Did you just bit me?!" I hiss.

Obviously she doesn't answer as I don't let her talk. Once I get in the closet, I put her down and uncover her mouth. 

She turns around angrily at me and says "What do you want, Four?!"

Alright, keep your act man. 

"What do I want?" I ask in an incredulous voice. "What I want to know is why you are dating a dumb guy like him?"

She gasps "He is not dumb!"

No really? "No, you're right; dumb is too gentle for him" I say and watch how she glares at me.

Is it me, or that glare makes her look so sexy right now...

Head in the game, man!

"Stop acting like such a jerk! Or wait, you indeed are a jerk"
