TRIS

My deep sombre was interrupted by a loud, ringing voice in my bedside. I squint my eyes as my alarm clock kept on ringing. Soon after, it drops on the floor with a pillow over it. I look up and see Lynn trying to get back to bed. I shake my head. It was still five in the morning and I bet that half of Dauntless's population hasn't even rose from their beds. I take a quick shower and ran down to the cafeteria to get an early breakfast. Almost all the tables were empty, and I spot one next to the fridge. I walk towards the table when someone called me. I turn and see Lauren waving at me. Four was there, staring at me as well, smiling again. This got me confused but I walk towards them anyways.

"So what are you doing here so early" Lauren says as she gestures me to the seat in front of her.

"I don't know. My alarm blasted and yeah, can't go back to sleep" Tori and Lauren looks at each other. Four, on the other hand, stands up.

"I'm hungry." he says. Tori got to the counter just a little earlier, when Four stood up.

"Tris, anything you want?" I look up at him. I was going to say, the usual but only Uriah is the only one who will understand that. I shrug, "the classic maybe" Four just nods and run towards the counter where Tori just finished buying his food.

Lauren was gaping. Tori closed her mouth for her. "Don't want to catch a fly, Lauren" she says as she sits at the seat beside Lauren.

"Won't you eat, Tris?" Tori says biting on the sliced chicken.

"Four got food for me." I smile. Tori grins and raises her eyebrow.

"Dropped the gentleman bomb, eh?" Tori says. Lauren rolls her eyes smiling. I seriously don't know what was happening or what were they talking about. I just try to smile until Four comes along, and sat at the empty seat beside mine. He passes me my dish and then we eat in silence. Tori and Lauren's grin were replaced by lip biting and pursing. They sneak glances here and there. Four coughed under his breath as if wanting to say something but Tori interjected.

"So, your turning 17 on Saturday, huh, Tris?" I nod. I couldn't get myself to speak now that Four is just inches from me. Then again silence filled the room. Tori looking at Lauren to start talking.

"So.." Lauren started, tapping her fingers on the table.

"What do you have planned?" she asks. I look up from my meal and then stare. I really didn't care about my birthday.

"Oh. I don't have any plans actually" Tori choked on her drink and Lauren gapped again.

"No plans on your birthday. That's sad" Lauren says.

"Yeah I know. I mean I never really cared about my birthday" I shrugged.

"Dear me." Lauren exclaimed, "such harsh truths so early in the morning cannot be good for the digestion" Lauren adds as she goes to the counter finally deciding for dessert. The room started going silent. More people are coming and going in the cafeteria. As I saw Christina and Will coming in I excuse myself and point at them. They just nod and I ran to Christina and Will.

"Where have you been?" Christina asks as I take my usual seat beside her. Marlene and the others are just coming into the cafeteria. They line up to the already growing line.

"Woke up early so I went to had an early breakfast" I say eyeing Marlene. Where was Uriah? Christina nudges me into reality and looks at me with concern in her eyes.

"Alright?" she ask. I nod. Marlene and the others take their seat and I feel an empty feeling beside me. Uriah wasn't here and apparently I was the only one curious about it. I decided to keep quiet and wait for someone to talk about it. After some time, nobody does. They all stare at me, excluding Will and Christina, as they finish their food.

"What's the matter?" I ask.

"You're not eating" Marlene asks curiously.

"Had an early breakfast" they shrug and then look away. Because none of them were talking about why Uriah was still not here, I decided to take the situation to ask.

"Where's Uriah?" Marlene stops eating and gulps down. She looks around the table waiting them to answer.

"Worried girlfriend, eh?" says Lynn. I roll my eyes and ask again, now more seriously. Nobody speaks. What were they hiding?

Will coughs to break the tension then turn to me. "He was still asleep when I left the room. Probably still" Will says. I sigh. I decided to visit him when Marlene abruptly tells me that it was already 8:30. I look at my watch and see that it was so I have no choice to go to work.

"You're making me dizzy, Tris" Tori tells me which makes me stop pacing around the parlour. I still hadn't heard from Uriah and it was making me totally worried.

"Sorry, Tori" she sighs as I say these words.

"I will ask if your okay but it's obvious that you aren't. What's up?" she asks leaning onto the counter. I sigh and then sat on the chair in front of her, slamming my head on the table top. Tori just laughs.

"Uriah's been MIA all day" I say. Tori's laugh slowly faded and she stared at me pretending to take in the situation and that she was worried of were Uriah was.

"Will says he was still sleeping but I don't believe it" I say. She still doesn't answer. Tori turns around. She looks really shocked.

"Tris, since it's your birthday tomorrow, why not take a break today?" she says turning back to me. I stare at her. Before I can say anything, the door creaked open and I turn around.

"Hey, Tori. I was wondering if..." As Uriah saw me, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened. He then directs his stare at Tori. Tori was biting her lower lip, guilt obvious in her face. I looked back at Uriah, pleading for him to tell me what's wrong.
