Chapter 20 (Tobias' POV)
I know what Kassie thinks; that I actually enjoyed kissing Kit. Little does Kassie know, I didn't. I keep trying to tell her this, but everytime she sees me she runs away or I can't even find her.
I am waiting outside her apartment for her when I see someone run back down the adjacent hallway. I don't think about whether it was her or not. Instead I go to Zeke and Uriah's apartment to see how the whole 'Skye thing' turned out.
I am walking to their apartment when I see Marlene.
"Hey Marlene! Have you seen Kassie?" I ask.
"Why would I tell you?" she says as she walks in the other direction.
I continue on walking to the Pedrad brothers apartment. When I get there, they are both home. No signs of Skye or Shauna.
"So…" I say awkwardly. "What happened after I left?"
"Christina and Lacey took Kit to the infirmary, and Shauna basically pulled Skye out the door. That's all I know." Zeke says.
I turn to look at Uriah. He is sitting on the couch, basically hugging his legs to his chest.
"What happened to him?" I ask, gesturing to Uriah.
"I have no clue. He won't tell me." Zeke says staring at Uriah.
"I know I am being very nosey but, what happened with you and Shauna?" I say.
"Oh, we are fine. It is more Skye and Shauna that I am worried about." Zeke replies.
"I can't find Kassie…" I say, sounding depressed.
"After what you did, it doesn't surprise me." Zeke responds.
"Why does everybody think I liked it!" I yell as I slam Zeke's door.
I spot Kassie jumping off the train, and I run up to her.
"Please Kass! Just let me explain!" I plead.
"Okay." she says. "Tell me why you kissed one of my ex-friends."
"First off, she kissed me. Second off, I didn't kiss her back. Third, I didn't even like it. Fourth, why did you react like that? And fifth, it didn't mean anything to me like it would mean something to her." I say.
"So you are still mine?" she asks with glossy eyes.
"Do you think I would give up the gorgeous girl standing in front of me for an initiate?" I ask her.
"I don't know with you anymore. We still keep secrets from one another, and it scares me sometimes that you would leave me for someone like her." she says.
"Well I wouldn't." I assure her.
"Mkay." she says as we walk back inside.
Kassie went back to her apartment since it was pretty late so, I am going back to mine. All I can think about is how I got my Kassie back, and why she forgave me so fast. Why did she do that? I will ask her as soon as I can, if I remember.
I see Lacey coming back from the infirmary. I run over to her to ask her a question.
"Hey Lacey! Is Kit okay?" I shout.
"Why should I tell you! You are the reason her nose is broken!" Lacey snaps back.
"I am the reason?" I ask, raising one eyebrow.
"Maybe if you would stop being so handsome around the intiates, then she wouldn't have kissed you. And Kassie wouldn't have broken her nose!" Lacey explains.
"Did you just call me handsome Lacey?" I say.
"Oh, calm down. You wouldn't have been the person I kissed in that room if someone dared me. I would've taken my shirt off before doing that." Lacey says with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Once a stiff, always a stiff." I say walking away.
"Hey!" she yells. "Stiffs don't show skin either!"
She has a pretty good point. People from Abnegation don't kiss or show off hardly any skin. I would know, I grew up there.
I continue walking back to my apartment when I see Shauna and Skye in the hallway. Oh god…
