I sat down on the bare floor of Robert's house along with Susan and Caleb. We were gathered in a circle and the smells of Susan's mother's cookies baking in the oven filled up the house and all of our mouths were watering. Caleb and Susan were sitting close enough to each other so they could hold hands but they weren't touching. They kept staring at each other and blinking away. I didn't understand exactly how the whole "liking" each other thing worked. I have seen no one like them who you know care about each other but won't even admit it. The whole Abnegation rules are pretty important in their lives and they are such rule followers that they have to wait to even hold hands until they get married. Even my own parents don't hold each other's hands or hug or kiss.

There are some reasons why I don't like being in Abnegation. I see Candor couples all the time and Erudite couples who hold hands and hug all the time at school. And sometimes I wish to be like them, but then I think of my personal space. I don't like to have close contact with anybody, even my brother knows so he doesn't try to hug me or pull me away from anyone. My brother is protective and I really appreciate that. I don't like Abnegation gain because no one else seems to enjoy us. I must have had a strange look on my face because Robert asked me "Beatrice, are you OK?"

I couldn't believe that Beatrice Prior was in my house. I watched her every day as she left her house for school and I would follow shortly after she left so I could stare out her more. She was so secluded from the rest of us and it was a struggle to even have her come over with her brother. Beatrice kept looking at the ground so I stared at her and she seemed to be lost in thought. I didn't know if she was ok so I asked "Beatrice, are you OK"? Beatrice looked up at him and he was lost in her beautiful eyes so I stopped talking and she kept staring at me. I got out of my daze and I leaned in closer to her. She pulled away a little bit, but not too much. "You just seemed like you were thinking long and hard about something." I told her.

I looked over at Robert when he called my name. I didn't know what to say when he asked me, but he didn't know what to say either. His mouth was open a little bit and it seemed like he was in a daze. I didn't know where to go with this so then I looked down at the carpet again. Robert scooted closer to me and I backed away a little bit because he was a little too close to me. He said "you seemed like you were thinking long and hard about something." He put his hand behind me and I lied "Oh no I was just thinking about how soon I am going to have to pick my faction. I couldn't stop looking down so Robert asked if he could walk me back home since it was getting kind of late. I accepted his invitation and Caleb promised he would be home soon after I arrived. We stepped outside into the cool air and my arms wrapped around myself. Robert noticed how cold I was so then he gave me his black jacket and put it around my shoulders. I let the jacket fall over me only because I was really cold. We walked across the sidewalk that connected our houses and he watched me as I climbed up the steps. He came behind me and he looked down on my face. "Robert do you want your jacket back?" I asked him. "No, you can keep it, I have plenty more of them at home." Robert said.

I had escorted her up the stairs of her house. I wanted her to keep my jacket because I wanted there to be some part of me with her. I knew that she would leave Abnegation, but I just couldn't leave my family here. We were standing on her porch and she still hadn't gone inside her house. Her eyes were looking up at me and I just couldn't only think of her the way I did. I had to let her know that I deeply cared about her and no matter how far apart we were, I would never stop thinking about her.
