Chapter 19 (kASSIE'S pov)
I storm out of Tobias' apartment, raging with fury. Kit just kissed Tobias! Not only did she kiss him, she kissed him on the lips! I knew I shouldn't have trusted that puny Erudite girl from the start.
I run to the chasm to talk to Al again.
"Hey Al, it is me again. You probably think I come here too often now. But, things are in a tough spot with most of our friendships right now. I mean, Kit just kissed my Tobias on the lips, and confessed her feelings for him. Skye practically just admited to having feelings for Zeke in front of Uriah and Shauna. And I, I just punched an initiate in the face in front of all my friends. Oh Al, what do I do?" I say staring at the chasms raging water.
For a small second I swear I see something move in the distance. I know it is just my imagination, but it still sends shivers down my spine.
I see Tobias coming towards me, I get up and run in the opposite direction. I don't want to talk to anybody, anybody but Skye. She would understand wouldn't she? She is probably being interrogated by Uriah right now though.
"Damn…" I whisper.
"What's wrong Kass?" Marlene asks. I almost forgot she wasn't there.
"Oh you know, a game of Candor or Dauntless gone horribly wrong." I say.
"What happened?" she says.
"Kit kissed T-Four on the lips, and then we said a few curse words to each other. Then Kit said, "Well who do you want me to kiss? Uriah? Zeke?" and Skye blurted out "Stay the hell away from both of them!" Then I punched Kit in the nose, which broke her nose and I stormed out." I reply.
"Kit and Four… Skye and Zeke…." she says stunned.
"I know right. I thought Skye would have told me." I respond.
"Who do you think she liked first? Uriah or Zeke?" Marlene asks.
"Why are you so interested?" I ask Marlene, raising an eyebrow at her.
"See, I may or may not have a huge crush on Uriah." she responds with a sheepish smile on her face.
"Shut up!" I scream. "You have a crush on Uriah!"
"Only like, ever since we were kids!" she yells.
"I think it might be splitsville for Skye and Uriah though. That means Skye won't talk to anyone for days, or maybe even weeks or months." I say, sounding depressed.
"She gets like that?" Marlene asks.
"Yeah, she does." I answer.
"Okay now, on to this whole Kit and Four thing. Why did she kiss him?" she says.
"Well it was a dare to kiss who she liked most in the room, but the dare didn't say where. So, she kissed him on the lips." I answer.
"Did Four kiss her back?" Marlene asks.
"You know what, I don't know." I say, seeing Skye come towards me.
"Oh god, I can't deal with this now!" I say, running away to my apartment.
I get to my apartment, and I lock the door behind me. I run to my bedroom, and lock the door behind me again. I don't cry, I just sit there staring at my walls. I grab my computer and start to type. I type everything that happened, and I read over it.
Why did I get so mad when it was a dare? Did Tobias actually enjoy the kiss? Do I have anger issues?
I then realize something, I never got my headaches checked out. I decide to go to the infirmary, fearing that it might have gotten worse over the week I had forgotten about it.
I get to the infirmary and I get a check-up. The nurse comes back and tells me that everything was okay, and that I was just experiencing too much stress.
I walk back to my apartment to see Tobias waiting by my front door. He doesn't see me turn the corner so, I run back. I run, and run, all the way to the train tracks. I ride the train for hours it seems, and don't go back to the Dauntless compound for a long time.
"What am I gonna do?" I ask myself.
