A/N Another study-chapter. Good news, I got the noun clauses down today! Sadly, I have a headache. Sorry if that makes this chapter bad. :)
I'm pretty sure Veronica Roth could teach noun clauses. I couldn't. However, I could teach a boring course on how this FanFic came from MY brain, not someone else's. :)
Tris's (Makes me so happy to be able to do that now!) P.O.V.
Tobias and I walk into the large area where the net is. The dramatic change in temperature and humidity reminds me of the gaping hole in the ceiling of the room. Zeke and Uriah do not seem to be here yet, so Tobias and I take a seat on the net. We roll to the middle, and I wrap my arms around him. He wraps his arm around me and we lay there in silence looking up at the stars. There are millions of them twinkling against the dark sky.
After about five minutes, I hear a snore. This startles me out of my trance. I sit up abruptly and look around the room. In the dark, I cannot make out much, but I know the snore did not come form Tobias. I have never heard him snore.
"Ow!" Someone⏤ Zeke, I realize⏤ exclaims.
"Sorry." Uriah mutters.
Tobias, who I did not realize had also sat up, rolls off the net. I follow him off.
"Hey, guys." I say.
"I knew you disrupted them!" Uriah says.
"What?" I ask.
"I was awake the whole time, lovebirds." His is the Cheshire cat with that grin.
"Wait, you two were quiet for a whole five minutes?" Tobias asks. I snicker.
"Why are you so surprised?" Zeke asks in an offended voice. For someone who was just asleep, he sure is awake.
"No reason..." I say. "So what did you two want?" I say in an attempt to change the subject. I really do not want to explain to the twins how loud they are. Plus, the lovebrids comment definitely gave me a blush.
"We just wanted to talk to our friends. I feel like I haven't seen the two of you in forever. Plus, after the other day, we are worried." Uriah answers.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"After Four came to the training room the night before the Choosing Ceremony. All he said is that you weren't feeling well, but I knew it was more than that because he had been crying. He also didn't stay very long." Zeke explains.
"Oh, yeah well it was nothing. I am fine and I have been fine." I say. I do not even sound convincing to myself.
"Guys, just let it go." Tobias says.
I get tired of standing, so I suggest that we sit down. We get comfy in the middle of the net before continuing to talk.
"So how do the two of you like Dauntless?" Uriah asks.
"We love it here." I say with a smile.
I lean against Tobias and intertwine our fingers. I do not care if the twins know. They have apparently been trying to get us together for the past four years so it just seems fitting that they know.
"The only problem is I cannot send a punching bag flying across the room yet." Toby adds with a chuckle.
The rest of us join in. "I bet you two like that you can touch in public." Zeke says with a knowing grin.
I punch him in the arm with a grin on my face and stick my tongue out. Uriah joins the teasing. After around five minutes of that, my head hurts from all the eye rolling, and the twins are laying down clutching their side from laughter.
(You know what? Random decision is being made right now.)
Uriah sits up suddenly serious. "There are no cameras in here so this is the best place for us to talk."
This changes my attitude. I sit up now much more alert than before. Surely he is not talking about being Divergent, right? Zeke is here and he is not Divergent as far as I know.
"What is it?" Tobias asks. I can tell he is confused like I am.
"How is hiding the Divergence going?" My eyes open in alert because Zeke was the one that said that.
"Wh⏤" Uriah cuts me off. "He is, too. I had no idea. Apparently your mom didn't have suspicions because I went before he did with the testing and she did not tell him stuff like she told me."
"Okay." I say with a nod of my head in understanding.
"To answer your question, fine, I think." Tobias says.
"I think Amar is suspicious." Zeke says.
"Did he say something weird to the two of you, too?" Tobias asks.
"Yeah." Uriah answers.
"We will just have to get through it." I say. "Does anyone know what stage two is?"
"No, but I do know it's bad." Zeke answers.
"Great." I mutter.
"We need to meet back here to talk about it after the first day of the second stage, though. Just in case." Uriah says.
"Good idea." Tobias says.
"Purely out of curiosity, though, what factions?" I ask.
"Dauntless, Amity, and Abnegation." The twins say at the same time. They raise a questioning eyebrow. (lol, I forgot that I had made a chapter about Uriah's aptitude test and just decided on some factions and they managed to match up)
"All five." Tobias and I say at the same time.
The twin's eyes raise in surprise. "I know, Divergents are supposed to only be two factions." I say. "Apparently we are all just different." I add a smile at the end.
"We better go." Uriah says.
"Yeah." Tobias adds.
We all roll off the net and walk quietly back to the dorms. The dorms are across the hall from one another, so when we get to the doors we say goodbye.
"Bye, guys, goodnight." I say.
"Night." The twins say.
Tobias waves and we enter the dorms. Tobias gives me a quick goodnight kiss when we reach out bunks, and we lay down.
I drift off into a dreamless sleep despite all the snoring and sniffling going on around me. Today was exhausting even if I have trained for the past four years for this.
It's kinda short but it's done. Now much happened so I hope it's somewhat interesting but it may be disappointing to those who were wondering what the twins wanted. Thanks for reading, reviewing, following, and/or favoriting!
