" yes officer , I understand " I could vaguely hear my mother talking to the cop who brought me home , he dropped of Derek a minute ago
" yes - mmmhh I'll take care of her punishment "
" thank you ma'm you know what kids are like these days , never know what going on in their minds " the officer spoke
The conversation carried on for another few minutes until I heard the door close and my mothers heavy footsteps on our wooden floor .
" what exactly were you doing out there tris -hey " mum practically yelled at me
Think - think - think - oh !
" I've been seeing Derek for the past few weeks and we went for a walk - end of story " I answered as honestly as I could
" can you remember - hey - WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ON YOUR SHOULDER YOUNG LADY ! " she yelled
I knew what it was without looking at it . The hickey Derek had given me .
" a hickey " I said calmly
My mum didn't seem to hear me so she carried on with what she was going to say before her little outburst
" you could have been kidnapped or worse - killed " " I didn't know where you were and I didn't even realise you were gone . Oh ... " a grim smile spread across her face
" you won't be seeing Derek anymore "
I opened my mouth to say something but she quickly cut me off
" tris remember what I said if I caught you sneaking out again - and i know about the sale signs I'm not stupid " she took a deep breath " I'm going to send you to dauntless boarding school for troubled teens "
" WHAT !? " I screeched
My mum was the calm one now
" I warned you after all the trouble you've made in the past - with your school , accidentally lobbing a chair at the headteacher . That was unacceptable . "
" I've got the exams coming up - "
" you're starting next week - and your grounded until you leave for dauntless boarding school "
I started to cry . Tears streamed down my face - as much as I hated my school here I had made a life out of it .i have friends and a job even though it's just cleaning cars it brought me money .
" stop the tears Beatris - you brought this down on yourself . Now go start packing your things while I make the phone call to dauntless "
Defeated , I trudged up the stairs trying to make as much noise as possible .
I started throwing my belongings in numerous cases , all the money I owned as well which consisted to around 5.5 grand now after the money from Derek I doubt I'd be coming back here any time soon . I could here my mothers voice through the walls ,
" yes - oh , that'd be wonderful thank you – bye "
" Beatris ! " she yelled " your starting tommorow "
