Enjoy Read, and Review!
I don't own divergent, despite how much i may wish i did
I shouldn't have to play weak for people to pity me. I hate pity.
I finish the project, in half an hour, and then get ready for school
I wear a purple short pencil skirt, with a slit going up to my knee, and a plain black shirt, I actually like my outfit today, and Christina will do my make-up at school. I walk to the kitchen and surprisingly Percy is sitting there, I never see him till he is walking out of the door.
"Tris, I heard what happened yesterday!" he exclaims
"Shocking" I say dripping with sarcasm
"You can't be so careless, I love you, but running out of school like that, you are going to get in trouble" he says
"Percy, I know you are trying to be protective over but I don't care, I can handle myself" I say dragging my feet and grabbing a couple pieces of bacon, someone cooked.
"What about dad?" he says
"What about him?" I say
He has a look of pure shock on his face
"I'm not going to let him hurt me anymore, he can't hurt me" I say
I hear a honk
"Just go" I say
He is worried, I can see it in his eyes
"Lauren, Percy is leaving for school!" I yell
"I'm ok, I got a ride" she says
Taking us both by surprise. He leaves without another word. I wait till Lauren leaves, her ride is the school skank Nita. I'm not exactly surprised; they would get along well. Me and Eric, walk out, and Nita sees Eric and offers him a ride, and he declines. I'm kind of wishing he didn't.
We get to school, I walk in holding my head up high and I take Eric to his class, but he grabs me and pulls me aside
"I don't know what that kid did to you, but If you need it, I can keep an eye out for him" he says trying to play cool, and not caring tone.
I nod, and walk off, he scares me when he tries and be caring. I hug the wall, watching people's faces out of the corner of my eye. Playing scared, as instructed, but I feel stupid.
I find Christina and she drags me into the bathroom doing my make-up
"Girl, you look amazing! She squeals, you will be able to have your pick of the guys, but leave Will alone, he is mine!" she says
"You should let me do you're make-up a lot of more, now go work you're magic!" she says loudly
I go to study hall, making touch ups on the drawings for the project, and any last minute fixes. I feel complete, and think I did a good job. I lay my head on my desk and sleep the last twenty minutes of class.
I wake up to someone kicking my desk
"My chair, Stiff" someone says
Molly
I get up, and hold back my urge to punch her in the face, I remain silent and move to my assigned desk for Psychology.
We turn in our projects, and while she grades us, she gives us a new project, of the new chapter in our text books, the brain, we have to draw, color, and label the brain. Including the parts, and what each part does.
Finally we finish and its Creative writing, I have it with Uriah, she tells us to write about a happy memory with someone. Half a page, we will share them at the end of class.
I think back to sitting on the roof staring at the stars. Wrapped in Up's warm embrace. When my mother would be home every once in a while, my father didn't openly despise me. When we were a family. Is this why people tell you to "Never grow up" You will always be at your happiest when you are a kid?
I get lost in the memory, eventually people begin their stories, but I don't listen. Until its Uriah's turn.
"When I was a kid, the happiest moment was when I lived out of the city, I was going through a rough time, but I found a friend that helped me through it, I never learned her name but we came up with nick names for each other, I don't even remember how we came up with the nicknames." He says
He says completely serious, then his lips twitch into a smile.
"I called her Beat, and she called me Up, for Uriah Pedrad" he continues
"We would sit on a roof, of a nearby house and watch the stars" he finishes and he seems as joyful as ever, jumping, biggest grin on his face, and he skips back to his chair.
Everyone else is barely paying attention.
"Tris" Tori calls out
I sigh, and get up, trying to hide my shaking.
Up
Uriah Pedrad
I clear my throat
"I share this fond memory, until now, we weren't aware of the return of each other's presence in our lives." I begin, and look up watching Uriah, he looks confused
"I lay on the roof, next to my friend, we watch the stars, I feel so happy. Ignoring my troubles I will have to face when I go home. My happiness is right here and right now. I wish it could last forever. The smell of the fresh air, the bright stars gleaming in the sky, the feeling of a warm embrace of my only friend, still able to taste the delicious chocolate chip cookies the he brought me." I say
I go back to my seat.
"Beat" Uriah whispers, and I nod
Everyone else tells their memories, and I ignore them. Once class is over, Uriah and I walk to the basement. We sit on the chairs.
"Why did you leave me Uri?" I say
"I had to Beat" he says
"You could have at least given me a name, too find you again, by you didn't why?" I say
"I tried" he says
