"Divergent" Teaser Trailer has been released TODAY. I CAN'T EVEN BREATH OMG, I'M SO EXCITED!
I apologize for the length of this chapter.
Chapter 14
Good Friends
Which him? This? What this? What is happening? And why do I always get myself into those kinds of situation?!
.xx.
When I finally get to the dorm, Christina is still in the bathroom. I don't know if she is bathing, getting dressed, brushing her teeth or her hair but I know I have to find out what happened with Lauren. I don't have to. But I will. I think about telling her of what I just heard but then I think I shouldn't.
I've always been curious, and my father used to scold me because of that. I would ask a ton of questions during dinner, when he was telling my mom about his day. I ended up finding out that if I asked questions to my father, I'd get the same answer as if I kept them to myself. The difference was that if I asked anything I would get a couple of disapproval looks from everyone at that table.
But Christina... She is sweet and soft, and she gets what she wants. She wanted to know about Lynn, and I told her. She is just as curious as I am. But I show it (even if I try to hide it). And she doesn't. So, if she wants to know what happened between Lynn and Peter she will find out. Or make someone tell her without they even knowing how they got there.
That's why I don't want to tell her about what I've just heard. Because she will try and she will know what is Lauren hiding. Plus, I know she'll know what happened between Lynn and Peter before I do.
Right now, I'm being selfish, which is something my parents always taught be not to be. But I want to find out myself.
I don't need to know what is happening with Lauren. Or what happened already between Lynn and Peter. But I do know that this year... I do nothing besides attracting issues. Which means that even if I try to forget what I heard, something about it will make its way towards me.
"Oh, you are back? I didn't even noticed!" Christina says when she gets out of the bathroom, snapping me back to reality. She doesn't look at me, so, she doesn't notices my face. Which means, no questions about what I was thinking. She just heads to the closet. "What were you doing?"
"I went to see Caleb, but he was on his way to the library with his roommate."
"Oh... Want to go to the classes building? I have to go to my locker. I forgot my jacket there." She asks.
"Sure." I reply.
"Let me just get dressed, then." She says as she grabs a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
When we leave our dorm, I get surprised by the fact that there are people in the hallway. I think this is the first time I've ever seen this much people on these hallways. Besides when the food bell rings, of course.
"Hey, Christina?" I ask when we are already outside the building. "How do you do that?"
"What?"
"How did I even told you about Lynn?"
She giggles. "I don't know. I'm very persuasive, I guess."
"It's not that. It's... I don't know, you can catch every little thing. An-"
"That's my parents fault. Especially my mother's. Both their works, involve law and criminal things. I learned how to know if someone is lying with my mom. And my dad is a lawyer."
"Okay, that was self-explanatory." I say a little shocked. "If I am curious now, I can't even imagine how would it be if I had your life."
"I'm not curious at all. I mean, I am. But I wasn't. With the things I've learned, I can't help it. I know when someone is lying most of the times. And then, I want to find out why."
"And you often do find out."
"Not often. It's more of... Usually. 4 times out of 5."
We finally enter the classes building. The air conditioner is on, and I hadn't realize I was hot until I was greeted by the chilly air.
"Why do you ask?" She asks suddenly.
"I don't know... I just think we are going to be great friends."
"We already are!"
"Yea..." I snort and grin at the same time. "I guess we are."
"You know I know that was not the main reason you asked me that, don't you?"
"I do." I grin. "And you know that what I said was also true, don't you?"
"I do." She smirks.
"You are NOT going to hug me." I say taking a step back.
"Why not?" She cries.
"Because I don't want to!"
"Just one." She makes a puppy face.
"One. And that's it."
She opens her arms and I hug her.
Like I said in the beginning of this chapter, I apologize.
It's the smallest chapter I've written... But I really wanted this to be a Christina chapter, and in my opinion it ended just right.
And by the way, I'm sorry if Tris seems a little evil/manipulative with Christina in this chapter. Some of you might get that idea, because when I read the chapter again, I got that feeling. Just to get things clear, I assure you that she is not, in any way, trying to use her. I just wanted to write something a little deeper (and I failed miserably because that was way too confusing.)
Anywayssssss,
I hope you enjoyed it.
And if you could write something about what you think of the story and/or my writing skills in that white box right below this story, I'd be extremely happy!
