I wake to my mom telling me to get ready for my Match Banquet. I immediately get up and walk to my closet and grab my beautiful shimmery, purple dress. I put my dress on. It falls just at my knees, and its tight at the top and the skirt flows out. Caleb walks into my room.
"Oh Tris you look great!" he exclaims.
"Thanks, you to," I say, smiling. He is wearing a tuxedo with a light blue tie. I have never seen him in one and he really does look good.
"Tris are you nervous?"
"A little I guess."
"Well don't be, any guy would be lucky to have you," he says and walks out before I can say thank you. I look in the mirror one more time before I grab my compact the artifact grandfather gave me. I walk out and my dad says "Tris you look beautiful!"
"Thanks, Dad."
"Tris honey I made some chocolate chip waffles for you," my mom says.
"Thanks mom you know I love these!" I shovel the waffles in and walk out the door to find Uriah walking up.
"Tris you look… Stunning," he says, staring at me.
I laugh "How many people are going to tell me that?"
"Everyone that sees you."
I smile and we walk to the banquet. First up is Caleb since we go by first names. He gets paired with a girl from the Abnegation city with blonde hair put into a bun named Susan. Next is Christina. She gets paired with a blonde guy with celery green eyes from the Erudite. Then next is Peter-gross- he stands on the stage and waits. But the screen stays black.
"Oh you're Peter," the woman says.
"Umm Yah," he says obviously nervous.
"I'm sorry we could not find you a match," she explains and it takes all I have not to burst out laughing. Peter turns beet red, walks off the stage and leaves.
"Sorry folks next up is Tris Prior," the woman continues. I look over and all my family gives me thumbs up for reassurance. I look at the screen with a hopeful look. But the screen stays black. No! I can't be alone like Peter!
"Tris that screen is black because you match is here," the woman explains to me. I sigh in relief. "Uriah Pedrad is your match." Uriah walks up with a big smile on his face and winks at me, I blush. The host gives us silvers boxes with our match's information in it.
"This is not necessary since I know you so well," I whisper to him. He lets out a laugh. We walk down to my parents
"Tris this is great!" my dad says and my mom gives me a reassuring smile.
Caleb walks to me, "Tris I'm so happy for you."
"Caleb I hope you match goes well!" He stays silent.
Uriah walks me home. "See you later Tris." He hugs me and walks off.
I go to my room put pajamas on and decide to look at the information just to see if Uriah has any secrets . I open the silver box and put the micro-card into the port. It's not Uriah's face that pops up. I gasp because I recognize him too. I shut the port off, take my micro-card out, and put the silver box in my closet. I jump in my bed and try to sleep I wake up in the middle of the night, the face continuing to flash in my head.
