"Tris Prior?" the Official says.
"Yes ma'am?" I respond shakily.
"Have you looked at the silver box from your match banquet?"
I bite my lip, "Yes."
"What did you see?" she asks.
"Well . . . umm it wasn't my match but I know that person as well," I answer.
"And do you know his name?" she questions.
I get lost in thought when I hear, "Tris?"
"Oh. Yes, Tobias Eaton," I tell her.
"Okay there has been a mix up and the Officials are working on it. We don't know how it happened; we think it was a prank," she informs me.
"But I thought Officials don't make mistakes," I blurt then cover my mouth.
"This was not an Official doing as I said before we think it was a prank," she snaps.
I stay quiet.
"Do you have any questions or comments?" she questions more calm than she was.
I shake my head and manage a "No."
"Great I will stay in contact with you. If you need to, remember, there is always your green pill," she says with a wink. Then she walks away and leaves me alone at the bench. I hear footsteps behind me and I think maybe the Official forgot something then I feel hands on my shoulders.
"Tris you Okay? You were supposed to meet me at the musical today."
"Oh. . . um Uriah sorry I forgot. . . I just came here to take a rest from climbing class," I look at him and smile.
He returns the smile, "It's getting late I should walk you home."
"Oh no, it's Okay I can walk myself."
He gives me the 'you really think I'm going to let you' face.
"Fine," I chuckle.
We start walking when a big breeze blows at me. Uriah takes his jacket off and puts it on my shoulders. "Thanks" I blush.
"Anything for you Tris."
We walk in silence until we arrive at my house "Night," he says giving me a hug.
"Good Night Uri," I say letting go of him. I turn around and walk to my door then I turn again to watch him walk away. I watch him until all I can see is a black figure walking on the sidewalk. I step in my house and all is quiet. My parents are in there room and so is my brother Caleb.
I slowly open my bedroom door not to disturb anyone to find a piece of mail on my bed. I rip it open like I won the lottery. I take a peek to see who it's from. Tobias. I hesitantly look at it now. "Tris, on free rec time tomorrow meet me in the climbing area we were at today. I'm still wondering what you wanted to tell me. –Tobias I sit on my bed for a moment to ponder what I just read I hear a soft knock and stow away the note.
"Tris honey?" my mother says.
"Yes mom?"
"Some kind gentleman left a note for you. Did you get it?"
"Yes, thanks," I say.
"Your welcome honey good night."
"Night mom," I say, then I shove the note under my pillow kicks off my shoes and fall asleep in what I'm wearing.
