Chapter 2: Mystery
I put my pants on the same way, everyday. It's part of my routine.
It goes, left foot, right foot, pull them up, jump and button. I grimaced as I changed the wrap on my foot. it doesn't hurt too much, just when I put lots of weight on it. The cut wasn't that deep anyways. I smile at the memory of last night, but then my brows furrow with confusion. Why would I smile over that?
I successfully managed to hide my injured foot from my mum last night. But I knew it wouldn't be long before she found out, no matter how hard I tried. After all, she was a mum, and mum's had special mind-reading powers.
I pulled out a maroon sweater from my closet and slipped on my Converse. I went downstairs. My mum had already left for work. She was a doctor at our local hospital. My father was an employee of Apple.
I grabbed my purple Jansport, slipped my phone into my back pocket and grabbed my keys. I shut the door and made sue it was locked before walking down the pathway.
My eyes flickered over to Tobais' house. His house was messy, like it always was. Although he held parties all the time, he never bothered to clean up after, which in my opinion, is quite unhygienic. Also considering what those hormonal teens do in there. I've always wanted to go to parties, but my parents would kick me onto the streets if I did.
I wonder if Tobais is still sleeping. Or how bad his hangover is? I tighten the straps of my backpack and head down the path to my friends house.
I walk a bit faster because I feel like I'm being watched as I walked away from my house. I reached her doorstep and gently knocked twice on the door before waiting patiently. After about 30 seconds, she opened it.
"Morning." I said.
"Hi." Christina replied cheerily. She had left her straight brown hair out and wore eyeliner, mascara and little lipgloss. She wore a flow pink top and light blue jeans which complemented her curvaceous figure. She stepped put and pull the door shut behind her. She started walking down the steps and I followed. Once we were on the footpath we walked side by side.
"Did you study for our tests?" She asked. I nodded.
"I always study." I stated and she laughed.
"Sure you do." She said sarcastically. She was right. I never enjoyed stydying but somehow I always managed to get a high mark. Whereas Christina studies for walked in a comfortable silence. Every once in a while, I'd nudge her and she'd do it back to me. Then we'd giggle at our childish behaviour.
We reach the school gates and Mary took off to her first class while I took my time. I reach my classroom with 2 minutes to the bell. I sat down in my usual seat and started reviewing my notes. I sighed in annoyance. Time for the test.
The test papers were passed back from the front of the class, on a take-one-pass-it-on basis. I started as soon as I got the test.
We weren't even halfway into the class when I finished my test. I had reviewed it thrice and put my pencil down. Yawning quietly. I looked around and so far, it looked like I was the only one done. I got up and walked to the front of the room and put my paper on the teacher's desk. I turned around and started walking back to my seat. I sat there staring into nowhere. I was bored.
"Umm….I need Tris Prior." Everyone's eyes turned to the door at the recognition of the deep, rich voice. Everyone knew who it belonged to.
My eyes flung open and I stare at him in shock. brown hair, blue eyes, pale lips and tan skin, there he stood.
Tobias was at the classroom door. My teacher, Ms Matthews raised an eyebrow and stood up.
"And for what reason, Mr Eaton?" She asked.
"She's needed down in the office, I was there and Ms. Wu asked me to fetch her." he replied shortly.
"Alright Tris. Take your bag with you as class will be over in a while." I nodded and grabbed my bag and headed out into the deserted hallway. I turned to go to the office.
"Where do you think you're going?" Tobias asked.
"To the office." I replied uncertainly.
"You are something else. That was a lie. Follow me." He chuckled.
"Of all the times, why now?" I asked.
"I need a favour."
"And what might that be?" I asked. I had helped Tobias simply because he was drunk. I never expected him to come back to me for help. Let alone acknowledge my presence.
I have no idea why, but Tobias stared at me for a while. Like he was staring into my soul. Not that I had one, but still. He studies me for a while and sighed, it sounded hurt and pathetic. The way his eyes scanned me was so amusing, yet mysterious. It made me want to inquire more.
"Never mind." He said and turned and walked down the hallway.
"Wait-" I was interrupted by the bell and the sound of feet running through the halls. I didn't see Tobias for the rest of the day.
