Chapter Two
Tobias' POV:
What was going on? She's said she loves me. Well... Not directly. She was talking in her sleep the other night, the only thing I could make out was her saying she loves me. Anyway I have a lot to do today.
I jump in the shower quickly, washing my messy hair and cleaning dirty areas, as usual.
I ran to the canteen to grab some breakfast, they normally have pancakes on Tuesdays but I ran out of time so i just grab a double chocolate muffin and a bottle of orange juice.
Mine and Tris' favourite breakfast. She has no idea how much I love her. she thinks it's just words.
At that moment, sat daydreaming about Tris in the control room, it felt like the room got colder. I turn to see Eric standing in the doorway.
"Ah I thought it had got colder." I say bluntly. Such a warm greeting.
"Oh ha ha smart ass. Max needs you to meet him in his office at three. can't guess why." he says, turning to leave.
"Oh probably to offer me the job which I've turned down on numerous occasions, which, oh, wait... That's your job right? I wonder what would happen if I actually did accept it. Cafeteria worker right? I read your diary in initiation. I never knew you were originally a girl, Erica, and that your life long ambition was to go to dauntless and become someone who throws out the trash and feeds people." I'm on a roll. " Newsflash here Girly." I continue before he can speak, "Yes I know it would be awesome to know how to make the cakes because they are just so yummy, but if you eat to much they'll make you fat and oh now what will the girls think of you afterwards?! But you need to tell Max that I say there's no point me coming later. If he wants to talk to me about something other than the offering me the job which someone else has, god forbid I'd say he's even vaguely capable at it but he's not the worst, he can come and find me himself. But I'm just fresh out of little speeches for young Erica here. She'll have to work things out on her own for now." I turn and log off of my computer and push past Eric, but not without a sneer and a slight shoulder bump to show him that he doesn't frighten me.
Wow. That felt good. It's really fun to make Eric speechless. I turn to shut the door behind me but I'm just out of luck as I see his fist raised and coming towards me. He hits me square in the face.
"Ooh. Ow. That hurts." I mumble, slitting a sarcastic tone in to irritate him.
He needed that.
Now back to my darling Tris.
