"I know I'm probably the last person you want to talk to bu-" Four gets cut off by Tris kissing him. Four smiles a bit and kisses back and then breaks it putting his forehead on hers. "What was that for?" Four asked smirking a bit.
"For caring about me." Tris said giving him a quick kiss on the lips and walks over to the door and opens it.
TIME SKIP: (At Dauntless 9:30 AM)
"What Happened at Erudite?!" Zeke and Uriah yell as the run up to Four and Tris. Tris sighs and walks over to the table in the Cafeteria with the boy's right behind her. Tris sits down and shakes her head.
"Well I found out nothing about our parents." Tris says sadly but doesn't stop there. "But there's something bigger at hand…Mom and Dad are going to have to wait a little bit." Tris says with seriousness dripping through each word.
"Wait." Uriah says in confused. "What could possibly be more important than finding our parents?" Uriah says raises his eyebrow and scowls a bit. Tris rolls her eyes and she and Four share a look.
"Erudite is trying to overthrow Abnegation with the help of Dauntless." Tris says snorting in bitterness. Zeke and Uriah faces completely change from confusion to anger. "Yea but it gets worse. Caleb and Erudite believe that abnegation failed and that Erudite should be in charge." Tris says crossing her arms. "And apparently Dauntless and Erudite have been killing Divergents." Tris crosses her arms over her chest.
"Well that changes like everything." Uriah says running his hands through is curly hair. "What do we do now?" Uriah sighs in frustration. Tris shrugs her shoulder and shakes her head.
"What can we do? If the information we were giving is true then that means the Max and Eric have been killing innocent people… And if they're killing them do you really think they would tell us, considering the fact that Max couldn't even tell us about our parents." Tris says with no emotion. Four looks at her shakes his head.
"We shouldn't jump to the conclusion that Max is killing innocent people." Four says disagreeing. "When you guys walked out the meeting Max was crying and talking about how he's let you guys down…I don't think he'd kill innocent kids." Four explains. Zeke raises in eyebrow at him.
"Okay smart guy, If Max isn't killing divergents then who is?" Uriah says unimpressed. Everyone groans knowing the answer. Zeke hits him in the back of the head.
"Eric, Uriah Eric is the only other leader that could possibly work with Erudite considering he was from Erudite. Keep up Uriah." Zeke says rolling his eyes as well Tris. Uriah raises an eyebrow and punches Zeke in the arm.
"Don't ever put your hands on me again." Uriah says turning to Zeke. Zeke rolls his eye. Tris bits her lips and looks at Four. "Just because he was from Erudite and the dude is mean and sometimes disrespectful, doesn't mean that we can just assume he's guilty…Everyone's innocent till proven guilty." Uriah say crossing his arms looking at all of them. Tris rolls her eyes and scowls a bit before opening her mouth to say something but closes her mouth. Four nods his head and scratches the back of his neck.
"Uriah's right. Even though its makes perfect sense for it to be Eric, doesn't mean that its him but that doesn't mean that Eric's working alone." Four says agreeing with Uriah. Tris looks at Uriah whos smirking and dabs. Tris rolls her eyes causing Uriah and Four to laugh a bit. Tris smiles and stops when she looks at Zeke.
"Zeke?" Tris calls grabbing trying to grab Zeke's attention. Zeke continues to think before Tris taps the table causing him to jump a little and look at her. Zeke gives Tris a confused look.
"What?" Zeke asked in confusion. Tris face palms herself and laughs a little.
"What were you thinking about silly?" Tris asked laughing a bit. Zeke shrugs and scratches the back of his neck.
"Thinking about the situation." Zeke says shrugging. "I think that it would be best if we tell what we know to Max and Amar." Zeke says with a serious face. Tris looks at him in confusion.
"Why should we tell them this information?" Tris asked scowling in confusion. "It's not like they tell us every time they get information on our parents… I think we should wait and further our investigation on Eric." Tris says with no sympathy in her voice. Four nods his head in agreement along with Uriah.
"Okay "Boss" how do you propose we "further our investigation on Eric?" Because we can't go into this thing without any sort of plan." Uriah says in a serious tone. Four nods he's head in agreement.
"Yep, which is why there is no plan." Four says smirking. Everyone looks at Four like he's crazy causing Four to shake his head and laugh.
"What's so funny?" Uriah asked raising his eyebrow with a confused look. Four sticks his hands in his pockets and sits up straight.
"Well Uriah, You Pedrad's are very complicated but you guys are also very predictable." Four says smiling. "See you guys are planners and are also very resourceful, meaning that also makes you guys very vulnerable. So if we make a plan to play this by ear, then Eric will never see it coming." Four explains. Tris scowls a bit and looks at Four in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Tris asked trying to put together what Four just explained. Four sighs and scratches his neck.
"Well for starters I saw Zeke and Uriah earlier this morning going into the control room. When I didn't see Tris I figured you guys were up to something." Four says with a little smile. "So I went outside because the control room you guys were in cameras are all outside. So I went outside and about 5 minutes later Tris came out." Four says smirking confidently. Tris, Zeke and Uriah all look at him in shock.
"We can't be that easy to figure out." Tris states in shock looking at Four. Four nods his head with a sad smile. "Ugh okay, I guess we could try to lay low." Tris says running her hand through her hair and bits her lip. Uriah and Zeke nod their head in agreement. A couple minutes later Marlene, Shauna, Tyler and Lynn walk over to the table Four, Tris, Zeke and Uriah are sitting.
"Hey strangers." Shauna says sitting next to Zeke. Tyler and Lynn come sit beside Tris and Marlene sits next to Uriah.
"Hey." Zeke, Uriah and Four say smiling as nothing happened. Everyone starts making conversation and Tris shifts uncomfortably in her seat. After a couple minutes everyone's laughing and smiling and Tris just scratches her neck awkwardly before getting up to leave. Tris gets halfway out the cafeteria when someone grabs Tris's wrist.
"Hey Tris, let's go for a walk." Marlene says with a small smile. Tris hesitantly nods her head and follows Marlene to the Chasm. Marlene sits down on one side of the Chasm and Tris sits across from her.
"Ok soo what do you want to talk about?" Tris blurts out with her guard up. Marlene gives her a look and sighs.
"We need to talk about our friendship…Something you've been avoiding since the whole dare thig…" Marlene says with a slight attitude. Tris scoffs and laughs bitterly.
"Yea, I haven't been advoiding it." Tris says scowling. Marlene rolls her eyes. "I have other things to worry about then some "friendship." Tris said glaring. Marlene looks at her in shock and Tris can hear the hurt and anger in her voice.
"Some friendship? Once upon a time Beatrice Natalie Pedrad you were my best friend! Just because I made some stupid dare you decide to hold that against me and ruin our relationship? Wow that's a new low even for you Tris." Marlene yells in anger. Tris laughs bitterly and gets mad at Max's advice for her to apologize to her.
"No you were never really my best friend though…You were always close with Lynn." Tris says shaking her head. "You know you only hung out with me if Lynn or Uriah were busy." Tris says stating the facts. Tris sighs and stands up. "I don't know if you remember but even on my birthday you left me for Uriah." Tris said with tears falling down her face. "Everyone likes Uriah better than me so…I'm used to it... I guess I thought you were my real friend." Tris says in disappointment. Marlene stands up and shakes her head.
"No Tris that's where you're wrong! Everyone likes you!" Marlene says with jealously and Envy in her voice. "You don't understand that you, Zeke and Uriah were always popular. Yea I had and have a crush on Uriah doesn't mean that I wasn't your real best friend Tris!" Marlene says with tears flowing her face. "The reasons why I guess I leave you for Uriah is because…Uriah what stop the world for you, he'd do anything for you." Marlene explains with jealousy. "I just thought that he'd notice me more if you and I were like best friends and that he'd start to care for me just as much as he cares about you." Marlene finishes. Tris stands there with no emotion on her face.
"I think that it would be best if you and I just be associates instead of friends. I have other things to worry about then someone who claims to be my real friend when they clearly are not… but they just don't realize that." Tris says with sympathy. "I'll see you around Marlene… I hope the best of luck to you and Uriah." Tris says walking away from Marlene. Tris walks away from Marlene and heads towards her house when she's stopped by someone grabbing her wrist.
"What?!" Tris yells as she turns around to see Eric smirking at her. Tris rolls her eyes and shakes his's grip off her wrist.
"Damn if I knew you were going to have an attitude id go find one of your brothers." Eric says with a slight attitude. Tris groans and scowls at Eric.
"What do you want Eric? I've been on my best behavior today." Tris says crossing her arms over her chest. Eric nods his head in agreement.
"True …You and your brothers have been laying low today…Should I expect pranks tomorrow?" Eric jokes. Tris snorts and shakes her head.
"Again I say, what do you want Eric?" Tris say in the nicest way as possible. Eric raises an eyebrow and smirks.
"Max wanted me to tell you that there will be a meeting on Thursday about your parents…And that we have a lead on where your parents might be." Eric says in a Low voice looking around to see if anyone was listing. Tris's head snaps up.
"Really? Who found it? When can we know the lead?" Tris asked in excitement. Eric rolls his eyes and sighs.
"I can't tell you till the meeting on Thursday…Sorry Tris Max's word." Eric says shrugging. Tris glares at him and sighs.
"Yea…Thanks for nothing. Tris says before walking away but stopped again. Tris groans and turns around. "What now?!" Tris asked.
"Make sure you tell your brothers…And Have you seen Four today?" Eric asked looking in Tris's eyes. Tris looks at him in confusion and shakes her head no.
"No…You haven't seen him today?" Tris acts like she knows nothing. "Did you check the café?" Tris asked with a small smile and Eric shakes hes head. "Well Okay I promise I'll tell my brothers bye Eric." Tris said before walking towards her apartment thinking about her parents and Marlene.
