FOURS POV:
Once I'm done with the lessons I give Tris, I decide to text Uri and Zeke:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Uriah!!! Were have you been???" I ask Uriah worried
"Oh I was at that creepy stand. They give away free hugs. And candy" he says biting into hard candy. He throws it on the floor. Hard. And it doesn't break
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Uriah, I dare you to start dancing in the middle of the mall" Zeke dares him
"Ok" Uriah responds with a smile on his face.
He went to the middle of the mall and started dancing. Eventually a group started to form. And he had a dance crew. Them his mom showed up and he ran away.

"Zeke, we were selling those cookies." I tell Zeke
"There all gone. Oh, all except the one in my mouth, I can spit it out and you can sell it for half price." Zeke says and I roll my eyes

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK IS OVER~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

€€€€€€€~~~NEXT DAY~~~€€€€€€€€
I wake up looking forward to after school.
"What's wrong with you?" Uriah asks me as I get to school.
"Life is great." I respond and walk away
It's a regular day today. I ran the mile in 4 minutes and did a solo for music class. I got an A on every test thanks to Tris's help and that's really all that happened.
"Hey, Tris, I was thinking that we can walk to the bike store together. You know, since we are going to the same place anyways."'I tell Tris as I walk by her side.
"Umm. Yeah, sure, that would be nice." She responds.
We walk in comfortable silence for a couple minutes but then
"Hey, why don't you want people to know about the shop?" She asks
"Well, if people find out then they will start making fun of me. Do you know what it feels like to be bullied?" I respond
Then I know I said the wrong thing. I've bullied Tris before and so have other people. I expect her eyes to start filling with tears. They don't. Man, is she brave.
"I'm sorry." I tell her
"For what?" She asks
"About the bullying question." I respond
"Oh that? It doesn't really bother me. You know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and that's what bullying does. We aren't that different. Four, you and I, but one thing that is different and that you might want to change is this: I don't care if people push me around, or tell me I shouldn't have been born, they can call me anything they want and I don't care at all. But as soon as someone tries to out you down, Tobias, then you break down. I know, that your only human and you can only take so much, but you have to stay strong and be brave. Your brave with everything, but if someone calls you a nerd be proud and say 'it takes a nerd, to know a nerd." Tris says. And with that, she walks away.
And that's Tris for you. The brave, selfless, happy, smart, and honest I've grown to know and love. Tris
