Class seems to go on forever and I am about to fall asleep when the bell rings for sixth period. Mia, Caleb and I all go separate ways for sixth period.
The day finally ends, and all initiates are sipped walking to study hall seventh period. Me and Caleb have the same counselor (not teacher because this is study hall; we are just studying, and not learning technically) for study hall, so I sit next to him. He obediently starts his homework, but I do not feel in the mood for studying, so I lean over and whisper to him.
"How was your day Caleb?"
"Beatrice be quiet! Do your homework or something! But my day was good." He says smiling.
"Ok Mr. Goody-two-shoes!" I say falling back into my chair.
"This is Erudite Beatrice! You have to be a goody-two-shoes to get along with people here." Caleb responds to me.
"Alright then Mr. Umm, boring!" I say satisfied as I go back into my seat. I am still not in the mood for homework, so I lean over again.
"Why was your first official day away from Mom and Dad so great? Was it because of your girrlfrriend?" I tease him. He blushes, but snaps at me.
"Wha-what do you mean?" He asks, knowing what I mean.
"Never mind Mr. Gotta-get-my-homework-done! We will talk later now won't we?" I respond to his lies about not knowing what I mean by girlfriend.
Everyone has the same amount of homework and the same exact questions on the first day of initiation, but I get mine done an hour before Caleb. I sit in my seat, bored, for the rest of study hall. At last the day is over and we are dismissed to the dorms at 7:00 p.m. A few people stay behind to finish some of the homework, but most people leave.
Me and Caleb meet Mia in the hallway right outside the dorms. As we walk, Mia gets bumped by a stampede of scrawny yet tough boys running to the dining hall (they get yelled at for running at dinner). Mia drops her books all over the floor when they run by. She leans down to get them.
"Here, let me help you." Caleb offers. He's letting his Abnegation training show, or is it just his crush? When they both grab one book, there hands brush, and they freeze. I look at their faces and they are both blushing profusely. After five or ten seconds, Caleb talks.
"Umm, sorry..." Caleb almost whispers.
"No no, it's ok. Fine, fine." Mia responds, removing her hand. Caleb looks disappointed, but we walk into the dorms and put our stuff away silently. Nobody talks as we walk to dinner either. It gets awkward, so I try to break the ice at the initiate's table.
"So... How was your day guys?" I say, looking suspiciously at both of them.
"Fine." Caleb responds.
"It was ok I guess. Jeanine's class was like, so boring but I lived. What about you Tris?"
"My day was good, good." I say casually.
"Anything I should umm, know about, you two?" I ask, changing the subject.
They both blush extremely hard so they are like tomatoes, then Caleb responds with "no." An Mia looks at her food.
In the dorms, I am ready to go to bed, when Mia leans over to me.
"Hey Tris?"
"Mia, I'm trying to sleep!"
"I know I know, sorry."
Silence.
"We lied at dinner." Mia explains.
"Hmm?" I ask.
"Yeah, sorry. Like, all fourth period he was staring at me! I mean I don't know, do you think he likes me? Or maybe he just thinks I'm a weird creeper for staring and blushing at him all day. OMG I just ruined my chances with him didn't I? He doesn't like me! I'm dreaming. But maybe not? Oh, I hope not. Do you think he likes me Tris?" Mia rants. I silently laugh as I pretend to be asleep.
"Tris? Tris... Ugh."
Mia believes I am asleep, so she shuts up.
Oh Mia... I love reviews! They make me really happy! When I am happy, I write! So i need some reviews!
