Chapter two
I woke up to the sun shinning in my eyes. I was laying in a kingsize bed with silky black and red covers. I realized that I was still in Eric's apartment. I slowly get out of the large bed which compared to my small body looked like i could get swallowed in it. Walking out of the door I smell bacon being cooked.
"Morning stiff" Eric stood there shirtless with a pair of plaid pj bottoms shuffling the bacon around the pan. "Hungry?" I nodded
"Um Eric did we?" He raised one eyebrow while still focusing on the bacon.
"Don't worry Tris I know I'm a total ass outside of this room but that's because I have to be. I took the couch after you fell asleep at the table." I was relieved of even though I felt bad for taking his bed.
"Speaking of outside this place" he smiled
"We go back to normal bitching at each other okay" he laughs
"Deal I don't know how much I can take of you being nice to me"
"Trust me I think I'm getting sick just from doing it one day! But your clothes are washed, get ready you choose your job today!" He slides the plate I front of me
"Well eat and then get ready" I smiled weakly I wasn't looking forward to going down to the pit. I didn't want to see Tobias with his... With her. I felt tears starting to swell in my eyes.
"Don't start that again" Eric snapped. I shoved the last bit of food in my face and then put my jacket and shoes on.
"Go ahead and go without me, but please be alert with the trio walking around sulking because they are going to be cleaning the shitter and showers for the rest of their lives." I laugh
"Gotch boss man and Eric..."
"Humm" he peeks out from his bedroom with his toothbrush hanging out of his mouth.
"Thanks" he saluted me and went back into the bathroom and I left.
The pit was full of people waiting to watch us pick our jobs, finishing eating, and then some not knowing what they were doing there. I lock eyes with Christina and she frowns.
"Girl where have you been? I looked everywhere for you! How are you?" She started to rattle off about yesterday. My eyes wondered off the the back corner where I found Tobias and Poppy her arms thrown over him and laughing. His eyes caught mine and I looked away. When I glanced up he was headed my way with a confused Poppy glaring at him walking away.
"Oh god" I grab Christina's arm and tried to pull her to walk with me but it was too late.
"Tris, I've been looking everywhere for you. Can we talk?" Before I could answer
"Aww are you the little cutie that had been looking after my Tobi while I was gone" she smirked
"Yeah Tris Prior" I said trying to show no interest in her.
" oh your the abnegation first jumper aren't you" I rolled my eyes
"I guess word travels"
"It does when you have guts kid!" I wanted to hit her! (Kid)
"Stiff get your ass up there and chose your job and let's find out who gets stuck with your over opinionated moth for the rest of their lives" Eric steps in tapping my shoulder
"What do you mean Eric I wanna be just like YOU" I batted my eyes
"Easy stiff" he warned
"Eric your still the same" Poppy laughed
"Nope never will" Eric shoved me towards the other leaders.
"Tris what job are you considering you can pic anyone that you want." Max asked me tapping his pen on the table
"I want to handle the transfer who come in" max nodded another lady typed it into a computer and it popped up on the same screen that our ranks did just the day before. The pit irrupted in cheers and I walked down. I caught Tobias watching me as I made my way to the back so I could watch the other.
I cheered when my friends chose their jobs. Uriah became a leader, he placed 2nd after me so he got to pick a high ranking job.
Christina and will picked the fence which they were so excited about Lynn another one of my friends well if you could call her that she was one of those people that reminded you of a viper pretty to some deadly to most. She got control room. Molly got to do tattoos and then there was drew and Peter who got to just walk around and guard the outer building when need be.
"Tris" somehow Tobias had snuck his way back to me.
"What?"
"Can we please talk about this" he reached for my hand and I pulled it away
"Tris a girl like that isn't easy to break up with" there was the first punch but I was still standing
"And yet you pursue a relationship with me knowing she would come back"
"I tried to end it Tris" there it was punch number two... This one hurt even more
"She was my first love Tris... What am I supposed to do. I love you and her" and there it was the knock out blow. He had just defeated me with his words.
"FOUR you were my first love" I yelled shoving him in his chest. He grabs my hands and hold them there.
"What did I tell you about calling me that" tears were streaming down my face I felt like I was going to be sick. I yanked
My hands from him and started pushing through the crowd. I didn't see Eric anywhere so I head to his apartment.
I felt like I was banging on his door forever, maybe he wasn't home. He finally opened the door in a towel dripping wet.
"What the hell Tris" he snapped but as soon as I saw him the tears started and I hugged him. He didn't hug me back he stood there with his arms out and kicked the door shut.
It took about 15 min to get it all out. Then it hit me that he was in towel and I backed up with heat rushing into my face.
"I-I'm sorry"
"It's cool I get you just couldn't keep your hands off of me" he laughs
"Yeah that was it"
There was a pause
" I'm guessing you spoke to him" he walks back to his room and I hear things shuffling and drawers closing.
"If we are gong to talk about this can I drink" he laughed walking out and into the kitchen. I never realized how catchy his smile was... Maybe it was because I didn't see it too often. He walked up to the table with two glasses full of ice and a clear liquid. I took a big gulp and winced as it burned going down.
"SHIT"
"Hey you asked to drink" he said taking a drink and not even flinching.
"I guess I'm used to fruity drinks" he laughed
"Ok stiff spill" and I told him what four had said
