I warned you before, and I will warn you now. SOME SCENES DID NOT HAPPEN! AND THERE IS OC! Continue on.
I wake up wide eyed, remembering that today is the day before visiting day. The thought of seeing my parents again made me alert and focus.
With fear.
I almost fall out of bed rushing into the bathroom.
When I do, I close the door and lock it. I exhale quietly and undress. When I turn on the shower water and step in, I slip and fall into the tub with a loud thud. The water is tap cold, and I still attempt to get up because of the temperature. By the time I rise, the water has warmed up and I shower in hot water. When I am done, I grab a towel and hurry out to the dorm room to get dressed.
When I am done dressing up, I join Drew, Molly, and other initiates in the corner. Molly is signaling me to come closer. She whispers in my ear, "Stiff is in the bathroom," Says Molly. "We're gonna play with her a little."
At her words, my eyes go wide and I gulp as quietly as I can. Tris walks in and recognizes us right away. But, she pretends we don't exist and digs through her drawer under her bed. "I'll let you take this one." Molly whispers and Drew snickers. "No." I say, turning to Drew. "You do it."
So he does.
Hey walks to Tris's bed and when she jumps back, she almost hits her head on another initiates bunk. She almost slips past him, but his hand blocks the bed frame. She immediately looks at me, as if I could help her out of this situation. Which I could, if I weren't such a coward.
"Didn't realize you were so skinny, Stiff."
"Leave me alone." She says, her voice steady.
"This isn't the Hub, you know. No one has to follow a Stiff's orders around here."
His eyes travel her body, in a pedophillic sort of way that would make any girl uncomfortable. And somehow, it makes me uncomfortable. I look at Tris again, making sure she sees my pity. Drew gets closer and closer to her, until I feel like my head is going to fall off of my neck.
"Stop it!" I yell in my mind, But, when I realize it wasn't in my mind, all heads turn to me, and suddenly, I feel as uncomfortable as Tris did.
