-I don't own divergent, Veronica does!
I see Caleb standing at the front of school, yet there is no sign of a cab. He told me on the phone the cab was here, however it would appear he lied; he could never be a Candor. The snow's gotten heavier since earlier, there's a few inches on the ground making it harder and colder to walk.
"Caleb? You said there was a car?" I shout over to him.
"Well, it turns out it's not even worth trying to get to the airport. All the flights are cancelled today." His normal dark hair is encrusted with flecks of snow which from the distance I'm at look like white dove feather, as if he's been in a pillow fight, somehow I cannot imagine he participate in such an activity.
"So how are we gonna get home then, Erudite. " I say, we have to go home, but how? It's not like school's gonna stay open for us two, all my friends are going to be gone within the next few hours.
"I don't appreciate the nickname, Tris," he spits my name like it's poison to him. To be honest, I'd rather he called me Beatrice, Tris, just doesn't fit with him. He's the only bit of the old me I still have, "I don't know. We're going to have to stay here. Wait to see if the school can put us up. I mean think about it, Mom's not going to come cross country to get us." He has a point, Mom won't come cross country in this weather for us, she gives a lot, but I don't think that this is possible.
"Okay, fine, we'll wait and see. Why don't you go and see the principle or something, find out what the hell is going on. Besides, the rest of my friends are leaving in an hour or so. "
"They're going to leave? I doubt that, have a look around Beatrice, people aren't going any time, especially if they're going any distance." Maybe it won't be just Caleb and I; having Four, Zeke and Uriah won't be that bad. Sure Chris isn't here, but sometimes having the boys around is funnier and I don't have to put up with convorsations about shoes and actors.
"Well, if you need me I'll be with Uriah and stuff. Come find us when you know what's happening." I turn away trudging through the piling snow.
"Where will that be?" He calls over.
"Block 33, room 4C," I reply getting further and further from him.
I knock on their door once more to be greeted by a surprised Uriah. I brush the snow off me outside the door and slug my case into the room.
"My flight's been cancelled, the country's at a standstill. No one's leaving or coming in at the moment." I say to avoid anymore confusion
"We know, our Mom cancelled on us a few minutes ago, we're staying here until it clears up." Zeke says still looking as annoyed as he did half an hour ago.
"It seems I'm also staying here, well, not here, but you know what I mean," Uri gives me a look as if he's concerned something will happen with me and Four. Why is he so concerned. I know he doesn't think of me as more of a friend, but he doesn't need to be so protective over me.
"Great, the four of us it is then!" Uri claps his hands together, he's got something in store and I'm scared where this may go, his idea of fun was shooting a muffin off of Marlene's head. I don't fancy having an evening worth of shooting randoms objects off of various body parts.
"Uri, what do you have in store?" I say with a concerned tone in my voice.
"Well, you sound happy don't you Tris But to answer your question, I have no clue, to be honest I would say why don't we shoot-"
"-No!" We all jump in at the same moment.
"But! You didn't let me finish what I was saying. I have no bullets left and I doubt any shop will be open to sell them to me? " He has a point, i don't any shop will be willing to sell anything, especially bullets.
"Can't we just stay here? I really don't feel like walking anywhere, it's warm here and you know. I'm already here. " I beg, but the thing is, I don't really feel like doing anything. I don't feel like being Dauntless today.
"We have some movies here, why don't we just watch one of these? " Four says. Movie night with Four, that seems nice.
- Movie night with my brothers. Let's think of it that way. Uri and Four are my brothers and to be honest it would be good to get to know Zeke, it seems that whenever I see him, he's grumpy, usually because of Uriah, I guess that's how brothers are. However, they're not always like that. Uriah and Zeke have a relationship better than almost any sibling I know. Caleb and I haven't been as close as they are since we were kids.
"Yeah, sounds great, but guys, when will we eat? I'm already hungry, " I interject," it's not like we can order Pizza?"
"I'm sure that we can go down to the canteen and get some food, a few of us are still here, the school will still provide us with food. They're not that horrible. " Four says.
"Or, we could bring the food back here, they're not going to care today, there's like twenty of us here. " Zeke continues as if he's warming up to the idea, there's a twinkle in his eye. He seems up for doing something.
"That sounds like a plan, so movie marathon and 'take out food'," I put quotation marks around take out food, it's not really take out, even though we're not eating it in the place that it is made. I take off my jacket and boots, moving over to their small couch big enough to seat three. This could be interesting.
I plop myself next to Four, who's on the other side of Zeke. Uriah carries over a few DVDs, and puts all but one onto a table on the other side of us. He puts on some form of adventure action movie, I didn't quite catch the name of it. Then he wanders over and shoves himself in-between Zeke and Four making us all cramped together, I through my legs over Four slightly, to allow the guys more room. Zeke flicks a switch and turns the lights off ready for the movie.
Thanks for reading guys! I love you all! I hope you are all having a great week so far and those who live in the UK I hope, you are all okay after that storm!
