Ever since the party, I've been so awkward around everyone, and they can all tell that something's wrong. Four has been constantly asking me what's been bothering me but just keep putting him off. I can't imagine how he'd react if he found out what I did.
Along with that, the heist that Divergent has been planing is coming up soon and I've been constantly freaking out over it. And if i try anything to get out of it, Peter will have my head. My part in the operation is, sadly, extremely vital. I'm back at the pit with the security team keeping an eye on the team as they're breaking in and warning them if there are any obstacles and if they have to change plans.
What sucks is that my dad is constantly in DC because he works in congress. My whole family would live there but he didn't want to completely change everyone's lives. When Eric told everyone that the next heist was on congress' recent files, I almost had a panic attack right then and there. I would be putting my own father in jeopardy. It kills me that I have to keep doing this. Even if I do get to stop, knowing that I was ever part of such a thing would haunt me forever.
"Tris will you please talk to me?" says Four. "I can tell that something's wrong"
"Sweetie, nothing's wrong" I lied. "You know I would tell you if something was, right?"
"I hope so" he sighed. He then pulled me into a long hug. He kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him.
"We should go to class, hon"
"But I'd rather stay here and hold you"
"Me too but Ms. Matthews will kill me if I'm late."
"Fine" he sighed. He took my hand and we started walking down the hall towards class.
Zeke and Uriah were having another party. I wasn't gonna let what happened last time ruin this for me. I wanted to have fun with my friends again. This time the party was gonna be right after the football game. Christina and I were at my house getting ready to go to the game. Right now, our school's team is undefeated, and we hope to keep it that way.
"Would you stay still?" Christina said.
"Sorry" I said. "Just lost in thought."
"Well focus because we aren't gonna get out of here any time soon if you don't let me finish you hair."
I sighed and sat up straight, letting Chris pull my hair into a fishtail braid. My mind was rushing in a hundred different directions. The heist was in two days. I was determined on not letting it get to me tonight. I wanted to have a good time tonight and forget about everything that was going on.
Christina and I were finally finished and were heading to the game. As soon as we got there we were greeted by Shauna and Marlene, Zeke and Uriah's girlfriends.
"Hey guys!" said Marlene. "Uriah is holding our seats, let's go!" We got to our seats and waited for the game to start.
"You ready for the party tonight Tris?" said Uriah.
"You betcha." I responded. "Sorry about last time. I wasn't feeling to great."
"It's fine Tris, I'm glad you're feeling better."
"So am I"
In less than ten minutes the game started. We were all cheering but cheered even louder when Four and Zeke came running onto the field. This was gonna be a great game.
It was the middle of the third quarter and our team was winning 47-0. I was having the time of my life, being completely free of worry about everything else that was going on. Then I got the text.
If this mission fails, you're dead
