Tris! ” Four calls out. Will and I exchange a look, half surprise and half apprehension. Four pulls away from the railing and walksup to me. Ahead of us, Al and Christina stop running, and Christina slides to the ground. I don’t blame them for staring. There are four of us, and Four is only talking to me.“ You look different.” His words, normally crisp, are now sluggish.“ So do you, ” I say. And he does–he looks more relaxed, younger. “What are you doing?”“ Flirting with death, ” he replies with a laugh. “Drinking near the chasm. Probably not a good idea.”“ No, it isn’t.” I’m not sure I like Four this way. There’s something unsettling about it.“ Didn’t know you had a tattoo, ” he says, looking at my collarbone. He sips the bottle. His breath smells thick and sharp. Like the factionless man’s breath.“ Right. The crows, ” he says. He glances over his shoulder at his friends, who are carrying on without him, unlike mine. He adds, “ I’d ask you to hang out with us, but you’re not supposed to see me this way.” I am tempted to ask him why he wants me to hang out with him, but I suspect the answer has something to do with the bottle inhis hand.“ What way?” I ask. “Drunk?”“Yeah..well, no.” His voice softens. “Real, I guess.”“ I’ll pretend I didn’t.”“ Nice of you.” He puts his lips next to my ear and says, “You look good, Tris.”His words surprise me, and my heart leaps. I wish it didn’t, because judging by the way his eyes slide over mine, he has no ideawhat he’s saying. I laugh. “Do me a favor and stay away from the chasm, okay?”“ Of course.” He winks at me. .
