A/N So this story is basically the story Little Letters by xforeverwithyoux. She let me do a spin off where I do her story and include what happens when they receive the letters etc. I advice you read her story first. Enjoy!
Tris POV:
We went to a faction meeting last night. I can't quite remember what it was about, but I'm pretty sure they were talking about helping the factionless. I feel bad for them. It's not like it's their fault they couldn't get past the test. The leaders of their chosen faction should have been kind enough to let them into the faction anyways. We sat next to the Eaton's last night. I was squished between my brother and Tobias the entire time. Tobias seemed nice though. After the meeting we walked back to our own houses. As he was waving goodbye though, his shoulders seemed to slump a little. Like he didn't want to have to go home with his father. It was a bit strange. But not as strange as the letter I got the following morning.
Dear Beatrice,
Hello I'm Tobias.
Your father introduced me to you and your brother yesterday when my father had a quick meeting. My father said I should write to you because it would be greedy to spend too much time with you. I mean I guess it would be. But I think it's also because he would rather know where I am then me being out with you and Caleb.
I can still see you at school which will be cool; I'm only 2 years older than you.
I'm 8 years old and you're 6, I wonder if you can even write back to me? It would be upsetting if you couldn't. I wouldn't be able to talk to you much then.
I wouldn't call you gorgeous but you're really pretty. I like you.
Write back if you can.
From Tobias.
P.S Say hello to Caleb for me.
I showed it to Caleb. He told me that next time I see Tobias to tell him that he says hi back. I then showed it to my mother. She told me that I should write a letter back. She said it would be like having a pen pal, which sounded like fun. It would also be nice to let him know that I got his letter, and enjoyed his "courtesy." I don't really know what that means. But I went and wrote him a letter anyways. I wonder how he'll react. It's to bad that he can't come play with Caleb and I. That sounded a bit selfish. Maybe that's why. His father doesn't want him to take seeing us for granted, because that very selfish. Is it bad that I can't wait till I get it reply? Thar sounds a bit selfish. I wonder why my mother encouraged me to have a pen pal if it was going to give me selfish thoughts. Oh well. I guess I'll be excited just to myself. That's not to bad.
A/N Sorry, i usually won't leave author's notes, but this is important. 1) sorry this chapter is a bit short, I just needed to get started. 2) i plan on updating once a week, so yes. Look forward to that. 3) if you haven't checked out Little Letters you should probably do that now. Thanks for reading!
