CHAPTER SIX :Tobias
While sleeping in the bed, I thought to myself. Why didn't Tris visit yesterday? We meet everyday,and today was her birthday! We planned to meet at the central statue. She might have got caught while planning and then her Uncle might have scolded her. I don't know what must have happened,I'll get back to her tomorrow.
I jumped in the very next day at Tris's house. She was already ready there waiting for me to go for the aptitude test.
I came closer and bowed," Hey, so should we go? Also, what happened to you yesterday, you didn't come to meet me?"
She replied after thinking for a good ten seconds," No, nothing much. I was a bit busy. You know right...you know how my Uncle gives me some work and then I just can't,can't leave it aside and come. So sorry if I kept you waiting."
And I didn't ask anything else further. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't want to force her any further, if she didn't want to share.
We walked for a mile like always, then took a bus ride to the central glass building where the aptitude tests are held. The moment we stepped out of the bus, I could see a band of colours, which were actually a band of people. People like me from Dauntless wore dark black, tight clothes, Candor who are wearing tidy white and black formals, Erudite wore all the different shades of blue from the most darkest to most lightest, and Amity, not the fancy ones with light orange and peach.
I followed Tris in the line that was all separated into factions. The line was so huge that I could nearly see the building gate to enter. I had nothing to do. Tris was busy observing or thinking about something. I thought maybe I should also roll my eyes around a bit.
Sometimes I could see the Candor initiatives and imagine like how can they be truthful all the time, literally always. And those Dauntless who jump from here and there. Like how could they even climb up the tallest Erudite building. I heard a month ago when one of them actually fell down and died. I saw Tris for a moment, she was confused and anxious. I didn't mind asking her anything because maybe she is scared. And I am also a bit scared looking at the preparations from their side and how we are not even aware of what's going to happen to me there. I thought maybe Erudite might know about the tests because they are the one who make it. And how Amity is like us, they are kindest. Anyways, I remember what my mom told me and calmed myself down.
