Tris POV
I just can't get those bright, ocean blue eyes out of my head. It was like they could see through me, and detect all my flaws and deepest secrets. I sit down at my usual table trying to think about anything else.
"Hey Tris, guess what?" Marlene asks more perky than usual. Without waiting for me to answer she continues. "Uriah finally asked me out!"
At this, my head shoots up, "Wait, what? Seriously?!" I asked her shocked, even though I'm not really that surprised. It wasn't much of a secret that Uriah has had a secret crush on Marlene ever since we were little, he's just been too much of a scaredy cat, to admit it. "So where's Uriah now?"
"Setting up our date, or something. I don't know, I'm too excited!" Marlene responds, her smile never leaving her face.
"I don't see the point in having a boyfriend", Lynn says exasperated.
"You think he's going to be my boyfriend?!" Marlene half screams back to Lynn.
I chuckle as I leave Lynn to regret saying anything, while Marlene pesters her about the different wedding themes she could have.
I walk out of the cafeteria leaving all the noise and chaos behind, going to my favorite place to just sit and think, the chasm. A few years ago I discovered a little room on the side of the chasm, a spot where the waves just miss so I don't get wet, but I still have a great view. I just ove the sound of the waves crashing against the stone wall, and the surge of the tide.
A lock of my hair falls into my eyes, and I push it back behind my hair is the only thing I have left of my mother, we shared the same golden, wavy, hair. It's why I never liked to look in the mirror, because everytime I see myself, I see her.
The Pedrads are just my adoptive family, I only have a few memories of my real one. I know that my father had died in a car crash, and my mother died of some type of disease when I was still really young. I try not to think too much about them, but I just can't stop myself from yearning to just see them one more time.
My parents were pretty popular here in dauntless, and they were really close with the Pedrads, so I've heard a lot about them. People always tell me that I'm just like my mom, but I wouldn't know, I've never really met her, just in my dreams.
I also know that I have a brother, Caleb. When the Pedrads took me in, he was taken in by an aunt or something in erudite. So like my parents, I never got to meet him. I've tried to contact him before, but I was never able to.
I know that Pedrads love me, and I love them, but it's just not the same. I always try to show a strong face, but I just can't help it. As a single tear falls from my eyes.
I know this chapter is kinda sad, but I wanted you guys to know more about Tris' past. And I would like to say that I love all of your reviews, I've read all of them. I love the support, and just keep being awesome.
