Thank you guys so much for reviews and favorites! I was not expecting that many from one chapter. I have a question. Would you guys like to just have the story of Tris and Tobias falling for each other or should Peter interfere? Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter. Tell me in reviews. I will try to update every day until Christmas break is over. After that it will probably be once or twice a week. We'll see. I'm sorry. School gets in the way. I would definitely be Erudite because I am a nerd. As promised, here's chapter 2 from Tobias's POV.
As always, I do not own Divergent. Veronica Roth does.
~Tobias~
The ride home is shorter than I want it to be. Great, there's Marcus's car. Maybe if I stay outside he won't notice I'm home.
I go to the garage to grab my tools. My bike's been making strange noises. I get lost in thoughts about Tris. She's so different. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe her. She's something more than that. Her laugh could make me smile for days. That hug was amazing. Her tiny arms wrapped around my huge chest. She was so warm. Tris…
Focus Tobias. Again she's just another girl. She probably thinks of you as a friend or a brother. You remember what happened last time you liked a girl. Lauren broke your heart. But still. Maybe it's worth the risk. My thoughts are getting me nowhere.
Why is this bike making this noise? Ugh… I wish I had a father that cared. He could help me. I'll just call Zeke. Uriah will probably come too though. Oh well. Maybe I can ignore him. Marcus is probably drunk anyways. What a great mayor. Drunk half the day, beats his son the rest.
A few minutes later Zeke arrives dragging Uriah with him just as I expected.
"Hey man. What seems to be the problem?" Zeke asks.
"Well brother, it's probably the bike." There's Uriah being as annoying as ever. Zeke just glares at him.
"I don't know. It's just making a strange sound." Zeke lies down under the bike and checks a few things.
"Dude, the problems right there in front of you. How did you miss that?" (AN: Sorry, I know nothing about motors.) I blink and see the obvious problem. Uriah looks down at the bike.
"Yeah man. Even I see that. What happened to Tobias the bike expert?"
"I don't know. I guess I was distracted." My thoughts go back to Tris. Zeke and Uriah look at each other and smile. Oh no. This can't be good.
"Is there any certain girl you may be thinking about?" Zeke asks.
"You know one that is about half a foot shorter than you. Has blonde hair." Uriah grins.
"What? Tris? No I don't like her. It was just good to see her again after so many years." I reply a little too quickly.
Zeke smiles, "I don't know man. You seemed like you were staring at her a lot."
"Oooo, Tobias has a crush. I guess the mysterious Tobias actually does have a heart." Uriah says acting like a six-year-old.
"Listen, if you guys tell anyone I will hunt you down." I give each of them the death glare. They just smile in return. Is my death glare really that bad?
"Okay, we won't tell anyone, but me and Uri should probably head home."
"Okay. Bye guys."
I head back inside trying to avoid Marcus. I fail.
"Tobias, who was here?" He slurs. Told you he was drunk.
"Just a few friends helping me fix my bike." I reply trying to sound calm. Not scared.
"Why didn't you ask me to help?" He spits.
"I didn't want to bother you."
"Okay but next time—" He passes out before he can finish his sentence. I got lucky.
I head up to my room and collapse on my bed. It's been a long day. Thoughts of Tris fill my head and I smile. Now that she's here maybe I'll be able to make it through my last year of high school. Then I can get away from my Marcus. Sleep finally drags me under.
Sorry it's short. I didn't know how I could make it any longer. I'll probably update again later. No promises though. Thanks for reading. Please review. What do you think should happen? I'll take all of your ideas into consideration. Until next time.
