Divergent High

Seventh chapter

Four's POV

Wow, I was so hypnotized by her voice that I couldn't move, not even clap. Tris has a beautiful voice, and the emotion that she put in that song was incredible, I need to know what was going through her head when she wrote that. The bell rings and soon itias time to go to lunch.

We sit at our usual table and start talking about going somewhere next weekend.

- Sorry guys I can't - I say.

- Why? - Uriah asks like a little kid.

- My father is coming home and you know he's very strict - They know that my father is mean but the don't know that sometimes he beats me.

- So Four is not going, what about you Tris?- Shauna asks.

- Umm what? - She asks confused.

- Someone is a little bit distracted - Christina says giggling - Are you thinking of someone? - She wiggles her eyebrows.

- No, I'm not. - She answers blushing, I feel jealous, it is obvious that she is lying.

- So are you coming next weekend? - Lynn asks, begging with her eyes.

- I'd love to but my father is coming from a business trip and I have to be home when he arrives. He's very strict.

"Not as much as mine" I thought.

- You and Four have so much in common, both of you have mean fathers. - Will says.

- You have no idea - Tris and I mutter at the same time, we look at each other for I don't know how long but the bell rings signaling the end of lunch.

I don't know why but I offer Tris to walk her to her next class, in the way there we make small talk and she is very funny, we get to the room and we sit together and never stop talking, not even when the teacher started teaching today's lesson.

When school ends I go to my locker and get the books that I need to make my math homework. Tris  asked to change locker so she is like 2 hallways apart from me, I feel guilty, I was the reason she did that.

I go to the parking lot and notice that Tris is walking to the gates, Oh her step mother has her car. I get in my car and make my way to where she is and  roll my window down.

- Need a ride? - I ask. She seems to be doubtful so I make an excuse.- We can do homework together and work on the project.

Finally she says yes and we drive to her house.

We spend the next two hours talking about  nonsense things, doing the project and struggling ( in my case ) with math homework. When we finish, it is already 7:00 pm so I say goodbye and go home. Today was amazing, I really like Tris, I hope she can forgive me for treating her like trash.  " Well genius, first you have to apologize " says my sarcastic conscience. I open the front door and find Marcus on the couch waiting for me.

- Hello son.

Great, just when I thought that this day was the best I have had since my mother left. I thought he wouldn't be home until next weekend. I decide to answer before he gets mad.

- Hello sir.

- Can you sit for a moment, we need to talk - He says in a serious tone, but something is different. I obey and he starts talking.

- Look I know you will never forgive me for the hell I've put you through, and I couldn't care less if you do or not, but I did what I did because I thought I was teaching you a lesson but It is not working so let's be clear, you stay out of my way and I stay out of yours got it?

Oh my... That is the best thing he could have said to me, I don't waste a second before answering.

- Yes of course Sir - I try to hide the excitement in my voice but I am so happy!!

- Good, now get out of my sight before I change my decision.

I sprint to my bedroom, and fall in the bed. The last thing I think of before falling asleep is : "I couldn't be happier" but man I was wrong.
